Chapter 94 Chapter 94 Give Tit for Tat Edgar intended to seize this opportunity to have a chat with the directors of sof the reputable companies, but the people were more intrigued in learning his private life and that made serious business talk difficult to happen.
He stared at Jean thinking about a way to break the ice. Suddenly, she glared at him with resentful eyes. The man narrowed his brows and a trace of sadness cropped up in his eyes.
"What are you looking at, Edgar?" Gigi noticed his constant space-out state of mind. She picked up the trail of his sight, and saw Jean was standing in the way. The outcupset her. Edgar said softly, "Nothing." "I want to have something to eat. Let's go to that side." Gigi deliberately pointed to the dining table on the opposite side. Edgar nodded. Just when they were about to head to the buffet area, Mr. Edwards, one of Edgar's business partners cforward and said, “Hi, Mr. Royden. We briefly talked about a project at the last summit. Are you free to discuss it in detail?" Mr. Edwards invited Edgar in all sincerity.
Edgar was also interested in bringing up the project again, he let go of Gigi's hand, "I'll be back in a moment." He strutted away as he said so.
Coincidentally, the direction they were heading to was toward Jean's side. Gigi panicked and wrapped her arms around him, "Edgar, can I be with you?" Although they were close with each other, the business talk involved commercial secrets.
More importantly, Gigi knew nothing about business marketing.
Edgar's eyes turned cold, but because of the setting, he leaned over and declined discreetly, “Better not. I'll find you shortly." Gigi was disgruntled. She couldn't do anything but let go with a smile.
Mr. Edwards also laughed and joked, "The two of you are such a loving couple." Edgar didn't say a word. He then led Mr. Edwards away.
Gigi was left alone standing there and biting her lips pitifully. In this party, she was just Edgar's companion, and nobody called her Mrs. Royden! This feeling of abandonment sucked.
Her phone in the handbag vibrated. She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Andy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe burrowed her brows and walked into the bathroom at the back.
Gigi talked about how it was impossible for her to fit into Edgar's circle. Andy taught her a way that could further divide Jean and Edgar from one another.
Ten minutes later.
Ben was away. Jean was having a good teating alone and unwittingly heard a pleasant business conversation happening not far away from where she was.
It wasn't surprising for business talks and deals to happen in a party. Contents belong to But the person's tone was particularly harsh, as if it was deliberately directed at her. The conversation was jarring and crude and her mood for the occasion was ruined.
"I know about this product, Edgar. The Eyer Group had done a patent case before, but their company's technology was pathetic. In less than a month, they were sued by the partner. They probably lost several million dollars in the lawsuit." Jean's heart sank. Her muscles tensed.
That was not the case at all! It was the partner's fault. Not only did he cheat her father, he also squandered the funds. Later, the court had reopened the case and returned the balance of the funds to Eyer Group.
There weren't many people that knew about it at that time.
Edgar was one of them who knew about the truth.
Did he tell Gigi? Jean's eyes turned gloomy. Edgar ruined her family. Did he also take her family's misfortune as a joke and tell it to Gigi? Jean was on the brink of losing her cool. She tried to suppress the emotion but it was in vain. She turned around and walked over.
Gigi was still flaunting her shrewdness and eloquence, "I think a company with the scale of Eyer Group should have been shut down long ago. Won't it be better to give up the deal to a more capable company." She recited the comment taught by Andy.
She was proud to be able to memorize a script so explicitly for the first time.
She wasn't aware of Edgar and Mr. Edwards' reaction at all. The discussion on the collaboration between the two companies was going swimmingly, but they were so disturbed by Gigi's alleged comment. Eventually, Mr. Edwards becdismal when Gigi mentioned about the bankruptcy of Eyer Group.
For the tbeing, the scale of his company was incomparable to the previous Eyer Group. Was Gigi implying his company was inadequate to work along Edgar? Plus, Mr. Edwards and Gary had an established relationship. He felt awkward and sorry to cacross a harsh comment on his friend.
He mediated the controversy, "Looks like Mrs. Royden has her own findings in the marketplace." Gigi was overjoyed to be regarded as Mrs. Royden.
She was dazed. She smiled and wrapped around Edgar's arm, "It's all Edgar and I..." She was intercepted before she could finish speaking.
"In the marketplace, what comes around goes around. It's imminent for a business to flourish on one day but file for bankruptcy the next." Jean's remark attracted everyone's attention.
Nobody had the audacity to square up to Edgar face-to-face.
She chose to be the first one for that task.
When Ben heard the news, he immediately rushed over but was stopped by Ally halfway.
"Ben, if you walk up now, you won't be able to help Jean, but damage her reputation. I think you should wait and see how it goes first." Ben paused, "Get out of my way."
Ally pursed her lips and whispered, "It's your mom's birthday today. If you go head on with Edgarjust because of a woman, how do you think Ludwig family's fate will wind up?" Ben kept quiet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe knew Ally was right.
Ludwig Group was working closely with Royden Group at the moment. If he poked his nose in their problem now it would indeed upset his father. Plus, it would be a double whammy if they misunderstood Jean because of that. Seeing that Ben had halted his feet, Ally smiled, "Let's go over there and wait." Jean's remark churned the atmosphere to utter awkwardness.
Gigi bulged her eyes in anger, "Edgar, she cursed you!" Before Edgar could speak, Jean burst out laughing, "You didn't just marry a celebrity, but a dumb repeater who repeats and translates my insult at you." Edgar's face turned icy cold when she said that.
Only then did Gigi react, she frantically explained herself, "Don't listen to her nonsense, Edgar. It wasn't my intention." Edgar glared at Gigi with the notion for her to shut up.
Gigi quickly lowered her head and stopped talking.
Unlike her, Jean was not afraid of Edgar at all. Jean stood there and looked into Edgar's eyes with her sharp visage, "The Visage, "The Ever family was falsely accused at the time. It wasn't because of the disputable product quality. Eyer Group was framed, Mr.
Royden. If you 're unable to distinguish right from wrong, I think it won't be too long before Royden Group goes down the sfate." She made a pun.
She was inexplicitly cursing Edgar and Royden Group to go bankrupt.
Everyone held their breath. It appeared that Jean didn't care about her fate but to contend Edgar.
But their identities and statuses were so disparate that everyone ought to believe it was effortless for Edgar to get rid of Jean.
