Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 513

Standing in front of the meeting room, Nathan heaved a quiet sigh.

"Fortunately, our business is unrelated to Royden Group.

Otherwise, they would've taken it over"

"Mr.Knox, Mr.Royden asks you to join him."

Miles was very busy.

After telling Nathan hastily, he rushed to discuss business with their partners.

Without even needing to ask, Nathan knew Edgar would ask him to do him a favor.

"Just tell me — I will try my best."

To make up for my complaints this morning.

"I'm hungry.Let's have a meal together"

Edgar put down his pen and took his jacket.

As he walked out of the room, a smile was playing on his usually cold face.

A chill crept down Nathan's spine when he saw that.

He quickly chased after him and asked hesitantly, "Wait.

Didnt you forget something? He asked Miles to pass the message, yet it was just to have a meal with him.

Is this for real? Looking ahead, Edgar replied succinctly, "Yeah."

The mirror in the elevator reflected his side profile - there was no hesitance on it.

"You are acting odd."

Over the past few days, Edgar would only find him for drinks.

Every time they met, he would invariably bring Jean up.

However, he suddenly became a workaholic.

Nathan saw the change as difficult to accept.

"Were you triggered by Jean's aunt?"

Nathan mumbled carelessly, not expecting him to reply.

"She is right, after all."

Nathan's eyes widened.

He had never seen Edgar give up on something, whether business or otherwise.He had always been obstinate and stubborn, refusing to lower his head to anyone.

Yet, he was utterly defeated by Julia.

Nathan took in a sharp breath.

As they walked out together, he muttered, "Now I'm curious about her."

She managed to tame Edgar in a few days! Nathan quietly observed him for another two days.

Apart from burying himself at work and motivating all the employees in Royden Group, nothing else seemed off.

Within three days, the entire city knew the news of Royden Group reorganizing.

Right after that, the shares rose quickly.

Everyone on the board of directors smiled widely.

"I told you so - we need Edgar to lead us to get our dividends.I hope we never experience that again.Everything was a mess.How could that work?"

"Yes.It was chaotic, but everything is in place now"

They spoke as though they had never supported Edbert taking over.

Under such circumstances, everyone was focused on their work except one.

"Xena, are you here? I already told you this must be done well.Why is this so sloppy? Stand aside!"

That was the third time she was scolded that day, but no one found it off-putting anymore.

"This is how it is if you get in through connections — you don't have any skills."

"I heard the secretarial department is preparing internal tests for us soon.She would probably be fired."

Xena's heart sank.

No, I can't be fired! After the lunch break, she found an opportunity and went to Edgar's office.

Edbert had given her a key to the office, but she didn't want to use it before, nor did she dare to use it.

Her only option was to find a way out for herself safely.

"Ed-Mr.Royden."

Standing at the door, she said awkwardly, "Can I discuss some matters with you privately?"

Edgar inspected her.

"Come in."

Xena heaved a sigh of relief before walking into the room.

"Did Royden Group's shares increase further? Not bad.Let's buy some more"

Julia clicked on her phone as she ate some grapes in satisfaction.

"Susan, these grapes are nice.Buy more tomorrow."

Susan's voice rang from the kitchen.

"Okay."

Julia got up and looked at Jean, who was trimming the bushes in the garden.

Then, she walked to the kitchen and saw some dishes on the dining table.

"Susan, you're really good at cooking" she breathed, impressed.

Susan smiled at her.

"I'm happy that you like it.It's just some home-cooked dishes"

However, Julia said sullenly, "But I think you probably don't like me.After all, I'm the one who broke them up"

Susan froze.

The moment she met Julia, she knew that she was not a woman that should not be crossed.

It was mainly because Julia was too honest.She never hid her thoughts, making Susan at a loss for words at times.

At that moment - Susan held a bowl of water, unsure of her reply.

Julia snorted out laughing.

"I was just joking — don't take it seriously.I haven't been in Jean's life for so long, but I keep chattering away as soon as I return.I guess everyone is quite tired of me."

Susan looked at her for a moment before suddenly asking, "But do you really wish for them to be separated?"

Sunlight fell on her face as Julia turned around.

"It's not what I want, but what they want.With that, she started making her way upstairs.

"By the way, make some food for kids tonight.I want to invite Hugo and his daughter over, but it's going to be a secret."

Hence, it was only at dinner-time that Jean knew about that.

"Aunt Julia, I don't think it's appropriate"

"How so? You have to know more about each other's life.Even if you guys don't manage to get together, you can still be friends.Besides that, don't you like that little girl?"

Julia looked serious, as though she had the best wishes for Jean.

"Even so..."

"Alright, alright.Go change now.I will invite them in"

Julia cut her off with a wave of her hand.

When she turned around and opened the door, she saw an uninvited guest in the yard.

She frowned and muttered, "You can't praise men"She walked to him.

"Why are you here?" she asked, annoyed.

"It's regarding business."

Edgar flipped open a set of contracts.

"Since Jean would like to give up on Eyer Group, it's best that I buy it over.I have already prepared all the necessary documents; I just need her stamp and signature"

Julia looked at him and the contract.

"I'm not good with business.I can let you in, but keep in mind that today is not a good time.If you ruin my plans, I will chase you out of this house; she grumbled.

Before Edgar realized it, another car arrived.

Julia's attitude took a 360-degree turn.

With a broad smile, she walked to them.

"Oh my, is this Ellie? She's adorable! Here, let me have a look!"

Edgar's gaze dimmed as he stood on the stairs.I'm really unwelcome here.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
