Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 358 Mr. Royden Making His Move

Edgar’s expression suddenly darkened. The next moment, he clenched his right hand into a fist and swung a punch.

It landed on Andy’s face.

Before he could come to his senses, Edgar gripped Andy’s collar and slammed him against the wall. “If you dare lay

a hand on her, you’ll be wishing that death is better than life.”

That night at the banquet, he had noticed Andy disturbing Jean. It was just that Hugo was one step ahead of him.

Since someone was helping Jean, he didn’t want to step in and blow things up.

But it didn’t mean that he didn’t know about it.

Andy had never seen Edgar impulsively fly into a rage like that.

Edgar throttled Andy’s throat with his hands viciously, but in the blink of an eye, Edgar stormed off in a huff.

At that moment, Andy’s lips curved as he sneered. “It’s no wonder that everyone is afraid of you. I really

underestimated you.”

Gigi peeked out from behind a column. When Andy was hit, she almost cried out loud, but she still held the cell

phone and recorded the entire scene.

“You got it clearly?” Andy wiped the blood in the corner of his mouth. His eyes were gloomy and cold.

Gigi was afraid and panicked. “But if Edgar found out that we plotted behind his back, it won’t be as simple as a

beating. If he really eliminates you as he did to the Eyer family, what should we do?”

Gigi was still unsettled.

Is it the correct choice to choose Andy?

As soon as she said it, the man’s sharp gaze was directed at her. “Why? Did you see him beating me up and feel

that I’m not as good as he is? Do you want to crawl back into his bed?”

“I… I didn’t mean that.”

Andy raised his eyes and looked at her deeply.

He didn’t say anything, and he walked into the private room.

Compared to graceful women like Jean, Gigi wore her heart on her sleeve. She was no fun at all. If not for the fact

that she could still fulfill those needs of his, he would have kicked her away a long time ago.

Edgar didn’t let him lay a hand on Jean?

Andy watched the women who were gyrating on stage, and he laughed coldly.

Edgar ran out of the clubhouse and saw Jean getting into Ben’s car. They drove off in front of him.

At a time like that, Ben was still the person that she trusted the most.

And Ben was at her beck and call as usual.

There was bottled-up, intense emotion in his eyes. The seed of jealousy kept growing in his heart.

He suppressed his anger and got into the car. “To the office.”

“Yes, Mr. Royden.”

It was time to act and clean those dirty things.

…

Three hours later, the share prices of Ranford International fell and crashed.

Three vice presidents handed in their resignation letters at the same time. Not only did they move to a rival

company, but they also took a few elite teams with them.

The whole company capsized entirely overnight. Only a hollow shell was left.

“What on earth happened? Everything was fine yesterday!” Serena looked at the statement of accounts that the

accounting department had sent over. She was livid.

“Say something!”

“Ms. Campbell, it’s not because of us. The rival companies worked together to lower their share prices, and this

caused… it caused our company to suffer great losses.”

Is it because of money?

Serena gritted her teeth. “It must be because of Edgar. He really went all out for Jean. They can’t blame me for

what happens next. Find a lawyer at once to sue Eyer Group.”

There was a clearly written clause about contract violation compensation in the contract. Serena had made

preparations beforehand, so there shouldn’t be any problem.

Her assistant asked law firms all over the city, but none were willing to accept the case.

Joey watched as Serena threw her cell phone to pieces after speaking to a few old business partners.

“Bastards. They’re all bastards! They took so much money from me, but they’re cowering after Edgar threatened

them and made them promises. They’re not real men.” Serena was so furious she was speaking incoherently. She

was about to break down.

She thought that she had a flawless safety net, but she was faced with a crushing defeat at Edgar’s hands.

“Ms. Campbell, I see only one way out of this.”

Hearing Joey’s voice, Serena slowly raised her head and sneered. “Don’t tell me that I should look for Jean and

apologize to her.”

Joey looked down. “In such a situation, unless Royden Group pulls back, otherwise…”

“Shut up!”

Serena threw something from the table in a rage. She was so incensed that she was about to spit fire.

“It’s just Edgar. I only need to suffer some financial loss. What else can happen to me? I still have the clubhouse and

my previous network of connections. When I come back stronger, I will show them. Is Jean even a worthy

opponent?”

For the past few years, Ranford International had been developing rapidly. On top of Serena’s experience, the

business was going well, but she didn’t know about the butterfly effect in the business world.

Edgar could torment Ranford International to such a stage overnight because everything that had happened was

within the man’s control.

He didn’t make a move, not because he didn’t understand that people were scheming and plotting.

It was because making a move was beneath him.

It was also because he had such swift and decisive ploys that other companies feared him. For their personal

safety, they would certainly try their best to draw a line with Ranford International.

This was why Serena was met with brick walls everywhere she turned when she tried to strike back.

At the same time, Jean received some news.

There was a lawyer who offered legal services of their own accord. The implicit meaning was extremely clear.

They told Jean not to worry and that no law firm in the industry would accept Ranford International’s case.

Which also meant that no lawyer would take up Serena’s case.

“This is great, Ms. Eyer. I was worried that we would have to pay damages to Ranford International, but we

shouldn’t have to, right?” Rachel was instantly in a good mood. She flipped through a few newspaper headlines.

“The hospital has also helped to clarify the matter of Julie’s food poisoning. We won’t have to worry about it

affecting the company’s reputation.”

The worry in Jean’s eyes deepened.

No one would have such good luck.

“Ms. Eyer, why don’t you look happy at all? Serena has poor social relations. Once she got into trouble, everything

else went up in flames. Isn’t this good news?” Rachel didn’t understand.

Jean sighed slowly. “It’s not that she has poor social relations. It’s just that some people have amazing social

relations.”

Hearing Jean say it, Rachel was more puzzled.

Jean waved her hands. “Notify everyone that they can take the afternoon off. See all of you tomorrow morning.”

After such an affair, although Eyer Group didn’t suffer any substantial losses, morale and work efficiency went

down. She had to think of a way.

“Alright, Ms. Eyer.”

Rachel informed the other employees, and they slowly left.

Jean stood by the window and looked at the scene out in the street, along with the tall building not far across from

her.

She tried counting which level Edgar’s office was at.

But after trying for a long time, her eyes were in a blur.

In the end, she laughed at herself. How long would she take to reach his level?

Five years? Ten years?

She had been too arrogant in the past. She actually thought that she could shake up Edgar’s position.
