Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 525

This was also an opportunity.He would have the chance to see Jean and find out if this was her intention.

Moreover, a reaction like this was understandable.

So when Miles told Rachel about Edgar's decision, they agreed immediately.

"Ms.Eyer said she wanted Mr.Edbert to join the negotiation too.Then, we can discuss everything once and for all."

Miles was dumbfounded.

When Rachel heard the silence at the other end of the phone, she asked, "Is there a problem with that?"

"Of course not.But this will be more troublesome.Perhaps a discussion between them will be enough for now."

Rachel refuted immediately.

"This is something big for both groups.Of course, everyone should be present during the negotiation.This is not a date.Ms.Eyer has already shown her sincerity in agreeing to meet up for negotiation.We can meet at court if you do not agree to it."

The call was hung up immediately.

Miles was annoyed.He had no choice but to apologize and agree to Jean's request.

Finally, he managed to pick Jean up.

He drove straight to Edbert's house.

On the way, Miles explained, "Mr.Edgar has some emergency matters to deal with right now.But he will come as soon as he is done with it’ Jean glanced out of the window and replied calmly.

"No need to hurry.The sun shrouded her body, and it looked as if she had a halo around her body.But she was unbothered; she remained calm and collected.Miles drove slowly.

They waited outside Edbert's house until Edgar finally arrived with Robert.

"Ms.Eyer, we meet again!"

Robert stepped forward and greeted Jean.He became more popular in the law industry after following Jean's advice last time.His career had improved by leaps and bounds.

Otherwise, he would have been able to leave right away when Edgar needed him.

Edgar almost tore down his law firm while waiting for him.

At this moment, Edgar's attention was entirely on Jean.

The man studied every micro-expression on her.

It was as if he was looking for some confirmation.

Before they could go into Edbert’'s house, a group of people came out.

They were reporters and videographers from the TV station.

Xena and Edbert were seeing them out.

Xena's eyes were slightly red as she pushed Edbert slightly forward.She told the reporters, "Thank you for coming today and clarifying the truth with us.We do not wish for this to go on any further, too.It is affecting our peaceful lives."

"Don't worry.We will release the news immediately" The reporter replied. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

But at this moment, some of them noticed Edgar and the others.

"Mr.Edgar!"

The photographers started taking photos.

This real-life drama was too gripping for them to miss out on it.

Not long ago, when Edbert experienced a misfortune during his surgery, Jean was everyone's first suspect.

Although Edbert had come forward to announce that he shall not pursue the matter anymore, his response made everyone feel that something fishy was behind it.

Then, the power of Royden Group was returned to Edgar.

Now, Edbert's daughter works in Royden Group and is the group's vice president.

Does this mean there will be a fight over the ownership of Royden Group? The reporters immediately surrounded Edgar and the others.

"Mr.Edgar, the finance world is concerned about Royden Group's direction of development in the future.Would you care to comment a little about it?" Edgar frowned.

His eyes were cold.

Edbert winked at Xena, and she walked down the front steps and said with a smile, "You're here.Food is ready.Let's eat while we talk"

Xena looked at the reporters’ confused expression and laughed, "We are simply having a family lunch.Please don't ask about work anymore."

The reporters exchanged glances.

Who would invite his ex-wife and a lawyer to a family lunch? But the reporters pretended to believe Xena's answer and left the Royden's family villa.

As soon as the front door was closed, all of them had different expressions on their faces.

Xena immediately put on a pitiful look.

"Edgar, why didn't you let me know before you came? The reporters will create stories again now that they saw you."

Edgar glared at her.He ignored her pitiful look.

"You did not inform me either before you submitted the acquisition form."

Xena kept quiet as she bit her lip and tried to look as innocent and pitiful as possible.But Edgar ignored her.He brought Jean into the house.

Edbert sat in his wheelchair gloomily.

When he saw Edgar and Jean approaching him, he smiled slowly.

"Even if you weren't going to come, I would still invite you."

He sounded kind and generous.But after all that happened, his smile now looked fake to Jean.

"You can stop acting.We are all busy people."

Jean chuckled and walked in.

The house was spacious.

All the furniture in the house was vintage.

The fragrance of pine wood that came off gave the place an exquisite feeling.But the first thing that came into Jean's mind was that Edbert did not fit this place.

"The acquisition of Eyer Group has almost come to an end.There is no way we can reverse it.Please do not blame Xena for it.She is still young.She still has a lot to learn...Edbert planned to place all the responsibility on Xena.If anything happened, he would give Xena up without a second thought.

However, Xena, who was standing right beside him, could only say, "I misunderstood my father's meaning and submitted the form.I'm sorry, Jean"

"I don't need your apology.It's too expensive for me."

Jean took out an agreement from her bag.

"Since it cannot be reversed, I just want compensation.I don't think it's too much to ask for, is it?"

Surprise flashed in Edbert's eyes.

After a while, he smiled.

"Of course not.

"Then, sign it."

Jean had gotten a pen ready.She told Xena, "We only need your signature, Ms.Sparks."

Edgar and Robert had already signed the agreement.

Xena looked at Edbert subconsciously.

Jean pretended to look surprised.She raised her tone and asked, "Why? Was Ms.Sparks lying? I didn't know you had to confide in someone before making a decision.So was the acquisition of Eyer Group your decision or a misunderstanding of his orders?"

But the agreement was already in Xena's hands.

"It's alright.I have the whole day.I can wait for you to go through it.If you sign it, I will let this go.If not, I can call the reporters back.We can ru1 through the legal process." Jean blinked.

"Didn't anyone warn you that you would end up with a lawsuit or even go to jail if I sued you?"

She turned to Robert and asked, "Stealing personal information under commercial crime. How many years will you need to serve for a crime like this?"

"Five, Robert replied curtly.

Xena looked at Edbert subconsciously.
