Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 531

Edgar sat on his chair and instructed Miles, "I need you to develop this one and hang the photo on the opposite wall.I wish to see it every day."

"Yes, Mr.Royden.I'll get it done."

Miles noticed Edgar did not stop smiling after the interview ended.It seemed he was satisfied with his heroic act just now.

Five minutes later, the TV showed today's interview.

Every scene that contained Xena and her voice had been removed.

Even the question the reporter had posed to Jean was nowhere to be found.

Instead, most of the clip was the later part of the interview with Edgar.

Furthermore, the reporters understood Miles’ hint and deleted Edgar's love confession.

Jean frowned as she watched the interview play on TV.

"Why are the reporters being such busybodies?"

Rachel watched the interview from the side and found it meaningful.

Thus, she could not resist saying, "Ms.Eyer, I believe this hyping method is commonly used in the business world to confuse rivals.I heard fierce competition exists over a few of Royden Group's projects.Perhaps Mr.Royden uses this to improve Royden Group's image."

After all, who would reject such a handsome, wealthy, and loving man? Jean did not respond.

Previously, Oprah Group decided to collaborate with Edgar due to his character.

Jean pressed her brow and was about to leave when someone knocked on the door.

"Ms.Eyer, one of your business partners sent some snacks as gifts"

The staff put down the snacks and left right away.

The snacks were placed in an exquisite gift box and smelled delectable.

However, Rachel stopped Jean before she could taste them.

"Ms.Eyer, let me try them first."

Rachel closed the door and whispered, "In case someone tampered with them."

Xena was jealous of Jean and would do anything to harm her.

Thus, Rachel was worried that Xena had tempered with the snacks and felt they should be cautious.

Rachel took a small bite of each snack.She began to suffer from diarrhea less than five minutes later.

In the end, her face turned pale, and she had to be sent to the hospital.

Miles immediately blocked all the exits in the building and questioned every staff who had handled the snacks.

However, he could not find anything notable.

No one knew where the snacks came from.

Miles did not dare to think what would have happened if Rachel did not taste the snacks for Jean.

"Mr.Royden, the hospital informed us that Rachel has food poisoning, but we still need to wait for the food testing result to know the specific cause."

Miles even obtained surveillance records of every floor.

However, there were too many people in the Royden Group.

Thus, it was challenging to find the culprit. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

As they were still investigating, Xena was also hospitalized due to food poisoning.

Moreover, her condition was even more severe than Rachel's.

She had to undergo gastric lavage before being admitted to ICU.

The incident sent fear throughout the company.

Eventually, someone found boxes of snacks near the backdoor of the warehouse.

"This area happened to be the camera's blind spot.It seems the culprit knew Royden Group's layout well"

Miles furrowed his brow.

Edgar's expression darkened further upon hearing him.

"Miles, call the police."

Edgar would not show mercy to enemies who started the trouble.

After checking the site, Edgar called Joseph and talked to him for half an hour.

By the time he hung up, it was already dark outside.

Meanwhile, Jean returned to the company after visiting Rachel at the hospital.

Their expressions were grim when they met.

"How's her condition?"

Edgar was concerned about Jean traveling between the company and the hospital.He gave her his glass of water.

Jean was thirsty, so she drank it without thinking.

"Not so good."

Jean was unsure how she could verbalize the gloominess in her heart.

"Rachel is emotionally unstable.She even said she wanted to call the reporters to expose this matter.I was worried about her, so I found a nurse to stay with her.The doctor said she could be discharged the day after tomorrow."

"Don't blame yourself.It's not your fault."

Edgar furrowed his brow.

"I've already contacted the police, and they will investigate the matter discreetly.They should be able to find concrete evidence this time"

Jean looked into his eyes.

"What will you do then?"

Will he be able to act mercilessly? Edgar met her gaze and was about to speak when someone knocked on the door.It was George.

"Mr.Edgar, I heard there's a poisoning incident in the company.Mr.Edbert sent me here to ask if you require any help" George said solemnly.

His expression remained professional as usual.However, it was apparent why he was here.It was to see the truth himself.

"That won't be necessary.Mr.Carlson, you can leave." Edgar's voice immediately turned cold.

At the same time, he pushed Jean behind him.

George saw their intimate gesture and noticed that Jean was unharmed.He immediately understood something.

"In that case, I'll leave first." He turned around and closed the door.

Then, he entered the elevator without a hint of hesitation or delay.

"I'll send you home first.You should stay at home and rest for a few days.We will decide again after we find out what's going on" Edgar said.

His eyes flickered grimly.

When they arrived in front of Eyer Residence, Julia rushed out of the house and pointed at Edgar before scolding him severely.

"I entrusted you with my niece and her baby.Is this how you protect them? If not for Rachel, she would have been in serious trouble!"

"I don't think you care about them at all"

"You have better investigate the matter and find the culprit.Otherwise, don't ever come to Eyer Residence again"

Julia pulled Jean into the house and shut the door.

Edgar stood on the steps and sighed in resignation.

"Ms.Horton, I will find the person who did this."

He stood there for a long time until he received a call from Nathan and left.

Julia stood before the floor-to-ceiling window and grumbled unhappily, "He left too soon.What an impatient man.He couldn't even withstand a little challenge: Jean was eating a bowl of chicken stew.It smelled delicious, and she was hungry.Thus, she was too focused on eating it to defend Edgar.Still, she felt there was much more to the poisoning incident than it seemed.Royden Group has strict security.Yet, someone was able to do this without leaving a trace.

It means the culprit knew Royden Group well and was stealthy.Edbert has not been to Royden Group for a long time.

If he had, people would have noticed.

Whom could he ask to do this? Was it George or Xena? But it seems unlikely to be either of them.

One of them stands out too much in the company, the other...

Jean's frown deepened as she considered the matter.

‘Clap! Julia gently slapped Jean's forehead.

"Eat your meal properly and stop thinking about unnecessary things.Right now, your biggest responsibility is to nourish yourself and the baby.Let the others deal with those matters themselves""

Jean nodded slowly.

Then, Julia cleared the plates and nagged, "When will you and Gigi stop making me worry?"

Julia went into the kitchen after that.

For some reason, Jean felt like crying when she looked at Julia's back profile.

It had been so long since she had anyone her at home.
