Edgar And His Destined Wife Chapter 481

Unfortunately, Edgar was not the only one who knew how important Jean was to him.

His uncle also learned the same.

Edgar observed Jean’s face under the light and muttered, “Why is the timing not right every time?”

He retreated from her after saying that.

“Remember to lock the door after I leave. They won’t come here to bother you again.” Jean watched him leave.

Then, she rushed to the high- ceiling window and saw him walk past the gates.She immediately closed the curtains

and locked all the windows in the house.

After completing her chores, she carefully walked up the stairs and locked her bedroom door.

Then, she took a baseball bat and placed it beside her bed.

Unbeknownst to her, Edgar was patrolling downstairs.He even stayed in his car and guarded her house the whole

night.

Jean woke up early the following morning.

She changed her clothes and rushed to Royden Group.

As she expected, there were already numerous reporters blocking the entrance.

They held their cameras and kept observing what was going on inside.

“I heard Edgar has returned.I guess he will have to shoulder those debts”

“The head of the company should bear responsibility for that incident.However, Edbert has taken over all business

matters in Royden Group. I wonder if he had expected such a matter and prepared in advance-”

“He’s here!”

The reporters saw a car stop before the entrance and rushed to it with their cameras.

Unexpectedly, the person who came out of the car was neither Edgar nor Edbert.It was Andy, who had broken off

from Royden Group.

He wore an expensive suit and glanced at the reporters around him.

“Scram- His harsh tone and expression caused the reporters to back away.

“What is he doing here?”

The reporters whispered amongst themselves.

Jean sighed as she looked at the entrance.

Then, she turned around and headed to the underground car park exit.She believed she could sneak in through the

underground car park.

It turned out she was not the only one who thought of this.

As she was nearing the underground car park, she saw Miles hiding behind the bushes suspiciously.

Jean called out his name, causing him to jump from fright.

“Ms.Eyer?”

Miles looked at Jean and glanced at the underground parking exit.

“Don’t tell me you’re also planning to get into the company this way.”

Jean did not respond.

Miles immediately dragged her away.

“No, Mr.Royden told me never to let you show up before them’ It was one of his tasks to protect her.Jean was

touched to see Miles’ earnest expression and his sense of responsibility.The company would have long fallen into

the enemy’s hands if not for people like him.

Jean patted Miles’ arm with a smile.

“Don’t worry.He knows.”

If Edgar did not want her to be here, he would not have told her about it yesterday.

Miles did not expect her answer and was briefly stunned.

Then, he asked curiously, “Does Mr.Royden really know?”

“Why don’t we go in and ask him? Won’t you find out the answer then?”

Jean smiled cheerfully.

“Let’s go in.Otherwise, the reporter might see us.”

“Ms.Eyer, wait for me.”

Miles ran to keep up with her.

Jean was entirely focused on sneaking into the company.

At the same time, she could not stop wondering about Andy’s purpose for coming here.

Meanwhile, all the directors gathered in a meeting room on the top floor of Royden Group.

Everyone whispered amongst themselves and discussed what would happen to the company.

“What should we do?”

“I think Mr.Edgar is doomed this time.Why don’t we..”

Suddenly, Edbert pushed the door open and walked in with George.He glanced at everyone and cleared his throat.

“Everyone, I’m sorry that the matters in the Royden family have caused you so much trouble.I sincerely apologize

for what happened.”

Then, he placed his walking stick at the side and bowed to everyone.

As he slowly stood back up, the directors were sad to see him in this state and stood up from their seats.

“Mr.Edbert, please don’t say that.We understand your difficulties.”

“Yes, we will cooperate with Royden Group and get through the crisis together!”

Words expressing concern and encouragement filled the meeting room.

Edbert smiled as if touched by their words.

“Thank you.Thank you, everyone, for your understanding.”

Edgar soon walked in.

The directors’ smiles disappeared, and their faces immediately turned stern.

They were still afraid of Edgar deep inside their hearts.

They feared not only his business acumen but also his domineering and forceful attitude.

No one was as talented and bold as Edgar in the business world.

He brought Royden Group to its current status, raising all the director’s net worth.

In other words, they had Edgar to thank for bringing them profit and benefits all these years.

Now that something had happened to the company, they wondered if it was right to make him bear everything

alone.

The directors exchanged glances.

Some of them could not bear to make him the scapegoat.

Furthermore, everyone knew that Edgar was not at fault in those incidents.

However, they could not figure out why the matter caused an uproar throughout the city.

“Edgar, sit down.”

Edbert immediately called him over.He seemed kind and understanding.His acting was top- notch and flawless.

Edgar chuckled as he approached the table and placed his hands on its surface.

Then, he said sternly.

“Uncle Edbert, how long are you going to keep acting? Don’t you find it tiring?”

Edbert did not expect Edgar to confront him this way.He hesitated and smiled but did not answer his question.

“Edgar, everyone’s here.Please sit down”

Outsiders would think Edbert was a responsible and kindly elder upon seeing him.

Furthermore, he easily forgave those younger than him and took up heavy responsibilities when the company was

in crisis.

Even though Edgar was ungrateful, Edbert was still concerned for him.

All these pained Edgar deeply.

If Edbert had hidden his deceptions better, Edgar believed even he would have fallen for his tricks.

One of the directors could not help but interject, “Mr.Edgar, Mr.Edbert, please don’t be angry.There is still a chance

to turn the crisis around.The other directors voiced their support.

“That’s right.The company has gone through so many great challenges and crises.We will pull through it again this

time”

Edbert tightened his grip on the walking stick as he listened to them.

These people changed sides as soon as they saw Edgar.

Initially, Edbert thought Edgar would remain in detention for a longer time.

Then, Edbert could use the opportunity to steal all of Royden Group’s assets.

But now…He missed a step, rendering his plan imperfect.

In the end, Edgar would still end up the winner.

“Edgar, you should listen to others’ opinions sometimes.A company should prioritize peace and making profits.You

mustn’t bear all the responsibilities alone.If someone has to take the blame for everything that happened recently,

let it be me.”

“Mr.Edbert!”

George called out in protest.

Edbert waved his hand and sighed.

“I’m old and advanced in years, so it’s all right.Edgar had worked hard to raise this company to how it is today.He

still has a long life ahead, and I can’t let anything happen to him”

The directors were moved by his words.

Only Edgar’s gaze grew cold.
