Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 221 Chapter 221 An Exciting Moment Subsequently, all eyes were on Jean. Swere curious; the others despising. Whatever happened to and in Eyer Group had circulated around. Everyone in the circle knew about their story.

Even though Jean had regained her fortitude after what went down in her family, it wouldn't change anything. That was why Andy had let her into Royden Group.

Andy noticed a shift in public opinion in the conference room. He flicked the cufflink on his sleeve, "Right now, Reece Group is more suitable for this project. I think Ms. Eyer should know very well about our relationship with Reece Group." Jean didn't say anything. "The daughter of Reece family will soon marry Royden Group's president. Everyone knows Mr. Royden is a keeper who would do anything for his woman. How could such a terrific project be given to an outsider?" What a dagger to the heart! Andy led the others up the garden path as if Jean was a vain and shameless woman, throwing herself at Edgar.

His inference stirred up whispers and snickers in the conference room. Murmurs could still be heard in the presence of the daunting Edgar among them. Sof them remained hushed but their thoughts were written all over their faces.

The daughter of a bankruptee; a desperate woman like Jean giving herself away in exchange for material and power. The project was given to Eyer Group because of her special relationship with Edgar.

The contract in Jean's hand was scrunched as she tightened her grip. She had envisaged these scenarios on her way here. But when it really happened, she still couldn't keep from flustering.

Edgar saw Jean's predicament and frowned. He wanted to say something, but someone cin. "Mr. Shaw!" All the managers rose from their seats and greeted Edbert. Edbert was a nice man by nature, but now he looked fierce, "Isn't this a business meeting? There's no need to didcuss other people's private life." Everyone lowered their heads and shut up. Edbert pulled out a chair and sat next to Jean, "Every business undergoes setbacks. It's inevitable. Didn't Ms. Eyer already profess to solve this issue? Don't be a bully. Royden Group participated in and discussed the selection of a business partner since the very beginning. So, it is also our responsibility to sort out this mess." Only Edbert, who was also Edgar's uncle, had the authority to say that. At first, Edbert's edict sounded like a wish granted. But then Andy realized the situation didn't add up to his expectation.

"As long as Eyer Group is confident in solving the underlying issue, Royden Group has no right to terminate the contract." Edbert turned the tide with just one sentence.

Jean didn't run away with the money, nor did she procrastinate on the project. She was optimistic and willing to work out a solution. As long as there was a solution to the issue, they must abide by the agreement.

At that moment, Jean felt the yolk on her shoulders laden, yet she was hopeful, “Thank you, Mr. Edbert, for your understanding." Edbert dipped his head and said, “Please carry on. I think you must have prepared before showing up. And I would also like to hear your plan for solving the issue. After all, the project must continue." "Okay, can I borrow your laptop?" Jean asked Miles. Edgar gave an affirmative look, and Miles immediately walked up to help Jean debug the system. Jean inserted the USB flash drive into the laptop and began her presentation.

She was inept at project planning, but she was a designs student. She was able to create a splendid PPT after doing sresearch on her own.

Although they were ambivalent on certain points of her presentation overall, her approach was meticulous. "This project is currently ongoing. According to the contract, Eyer Group is required in delivering the eighth, ninth and eleventh clauses..." With Jean's effort, Eyer Group was able to contextualize and further refine their liability and commission on the project. Contents belong to Jean was able to cup with a solution for the issue.

From publicity to promotion of the project, Eyer Group can fulfill the stipulated commission, but she was smart to entice their interest.

She affirmed that Eyer Group would give up any additional investment as well as the year-end dividends of the project.

She had done thorough research on the contract.

Edgar's gloomy and intimidating aura gradually dissipated as he looked at her silhouette reflected on the PPT screen. Then, he whispered into Miles' ear.

Miles promptly walked out and did what was told by Edgar.

In fact, Edgar had gotten everything set up before Jean showed up.

The plan was to hire a group of mock investors to plough money into the project on Eyer Group's account. In his own name, he would also top up the investment share in favor of Eyer Group.

But Jean showed up and transformed the plan to betterment.

Edgar was amazed at her adaptability and contingency awareness toward business management. He had never thought that Jean could shoulder such pressure.

Jean felt more relaxed at the end of her presentation.

Looking at all the managers, she closed her presentation, "The above is the plan of Eyer Group. If you have any questions, we can discuss them together." Sof the managers exchanged looks with one another, but said nothing.

Jean had cup with s ideas but there was one thing that blew their mind, and it was also the most important thing.

Jean had proficiently checked off all the responsibilities tied to Eyer Group.

"That's all for my presentation. Thank you, all." Jean dropped a curtsy. She fixed her attention on tidying up her documents on the table as she was scared to look at the man sitting in front of her.

What if he rejected her plan? But this was her hard work from burning the midnight oil.

Jean pursed her lips, and her actions slowed down.

Subsequently, the man said in his cold voice, "Ms. Eyer could you please cinto my office? Tis precious, and Royden Group's meeting has to continue." "Ms. Eyer, this way please." Miles immediately stepped forward and led Jean out.

Jean felt relieved. When she was exiting the conference room, she sneaked a om ed a glance at Edgar, but Elbert was her view, so she wasn't able to glean from Edgar's expression. The door closed. The freezing cold air in the corridor poured over her face.

"Did he think that I was taking up too much tback there? Jeano m quickened her pace, trying to catch up to Miles. Miles reserved to comment on behalf of Edgar. He uttered tactfully, "Mr. Royden has other appointments after this." "Oh..." Jean got riled up at her own childish thinking.

Miles opened Edgar's office door.

"Ms. Eyer, please wait inside." Usually, Edgar wouldn't allow anyone to wait alone in his office. How many times had Edgar given Jean the exception? Miles was polite and respectful. He knew Edgar well since he was his assistant.

Jean was special to Edgar.

He was asked to bring Jean here because Edgar wanted to keep her from all the unwanted side-eyes and gossip.

Even Edbert had heard the gossip and cto the meeting. This meant that had heard everyone in the office had heard about Jean's appearance at the meeting. Miles poured a cup of coffee for Jean and then left the room to investigate the culprit who let Jean into the company.

They had fortified their security ever since the last tJean had sneaked into the office.

In other words, someone in the company had deliberately sneaked Jean past the reinforced security.
