Chapter 280 Chapter 280 Fear Edgar immediately turned around and choked her. His eyes glowed red. "Why did you hurt her?" Melody's head slammed into the wall behind her, and the sudden suffocation made her struggle instinctively. "Let go... Ed..." However, he had no intentions of letting her go, for he was mad at her. When Miles arrived after he was done with spaperwork, he immediately stopped Edgar. "Mr. Royden, she seems to have something to tell you." They were in public after all, and Melody was a celebrity. If something happened to her, it would be a mess for both of them, though Edgar couldn't care less.
Nevertheless, Miles was just working for Edgar. He could not simply interfere with his boss' decision and actions. After warning Edgar, he lowered his head and took a step backward.
The veins on Edgar's wrists bulged as he glared at Melody. At that moment, he suddenly let go of his clenched fingers around her neck, making her lose her balance and fall to the ground instantly, coughing violently.
Miles immediately heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that. Though Melody was about to be choked to death moments ago, she smiled coldly at Edgar when she lifted her head to look at him. Contents belong to "You seem to be quite affectionate toward her now, as if you weren't the one who caused the downfall of the Eyer family." "Who are you working for?" he demanded harshly.
She hid her raw feelings before replying, "I did everything simply because I want to; no one is givinginstructions, so you don't have to ask anyone to look into it. I have the antidote to her condition - it depends if you want to exchange terms with me." Upon hearing that, he suddenly laughed coldly. He crouched and bent his knees to lower himself to her height. Then, he grabbed her shoulders as he commanded oppressively, "Tell me." Following the instructions from her boss, Melody forced a smile and replied, "Transfer all your shares from Royden Group to my name." Disdain and contempt immediately appeared on his face when he heard that. "That's all?" "Yes. Once you do that, I will lessen her pain," Melody spoke in a trembling voice because Edgar looked like a monster at that point - his eyes were simply too terrifying, making her fearful of meeting his gaze.
He chuckled coldly. "Ask your boss to talk todirectly. Oh, and I hate it the most when I'm threatened." Especially when they threatenwith my most precious person.

He stopped and turned around. "It's not difficult to do a background check on you. Just you wait." He enunciated his sentence clearly.
"Aren't you worry that Jean might recall the past?" Melody barely managed to stand up, using the wall for support. "When that happens, she will re-live the pain of losing her father and her family, and she will never forgive you. Compared to that, it's better that she remains in her current state, isn't it?" At this moment, Miles asked the security to bring Melody away with a frown.
For the next two days, Edgar's subordinates tried to look into Melody's background, but she had hidden everything well. There weren't any evidence or traces at all.
This could only prove that the mastermind behind this was careful and intelligent.
On top of that, he understood the feud between the Eyer family and Edgar, and he knew what was important to Edgar - he didn't even threaten Edgar with Gigi.
Without a doubt, Edgar was livid about the fact that he was being spied on by someone unknown.
When the operation ended, he immediately arrived at the hospital, but the nurse did not let him into the room. "I'm sorry, the patient said that she would like to be alone. It's better for you to go back first." "What?" He froze upon hearing that.
During the day, she was content in his embrace, and they had even chatted happily during dinner. Why does she want to be alone? He took a few steps forward, but he stopped at the door without any courage to enter the room.
He had never feared or regretted anything in his life, but at this moment, he finally understood how it felt to be heartbroken, and the helplessness to lose something he once had.
Nonetheless, he still did not have the courage to face Jean. As tpassed, regret slowly corroded his mind. "Mr. Royden, should I ask the driver to prepare the transport?" Miles asked.
Edgar gave a wave which he understood well; he left with the bodyguards after that, leaving Edgar standing alone outside the room.
He stood there for several hours, looking at the door intently before leaving in disappointment at daybreak.
The next morning, when the nurse was changing the bandages for Jean, she realized that Jean was not in good spirits.
"Should I let your husband know? Perhaps he can cover and keep you company." Jean shook her head weakly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith a stifling feeling in her chest, she thought, I must have forgotten something important! "He's busy with work. I don't want to worry him," she replied weakly, not wanting Edgar to see her in such a state.
We have just gotten married, yet he has to face his sullen wife every day. Surely no one would like that. That was the reason why she asked him to go back first.
The nurse said enviously, "You are so close with each other. Do you know that he stayed outside the ward the entire night yesterday? He was worried about you, yet he didn't want to interrupt your rest. He only left in the morning." "Is it true?" Jean's heart skipped a beat. "He doesn't seem to be a man who would do that." The nurse wrote something down in the records and smiled. “I'm so envious of you guys. You should have kids together. Both of you are so good-looking, I'm sure you will have a pretty baby." Jean lost track of the nurse's sentence at this point.
Blushing, she asked, “Can I borrow your phone?" A few minutes later, Edgar's phone rang in the meeting room, but his first reaction was to hang up. However, the snumber called again, so he passed his phone to Miles to take care of it.
When Miles heard the voice of the caller, he immediately passed it back to Edgar.
"I think it's better for you to pick it up, Mr. Royden." Edgar frowned in displeasure.
Picking up the phone, he asked coldly, "Who are you?" Jean froze for a moment before replying, "Edgar, it's me. I left my phone at home, and I-" "Give30 minutes. I'll pick you up immediately." Jean smiled. “I haven't told you the reason for calling.”
Regardless, he immediately left the documents on the table and walked out of the room, leaving everyone else in the meeting stunned. Ever since they started working for him, they had never seen such a gentle expression on his face.
Miles cleared his throat. "Let's get back to work and forget about m everything that just happened." "Sure, Mr. Miller."
In the corridor, Edgar was speaking into the phone lovingly Yes, I'll be careful on the road." Unbeknownst to him, a pair of eyes was scrutinizing him closely in the dark...
