Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 558

"He's an old friend," Julia said hesitantly.

Ivan went along with whatever she said.

Jean did not ask anymore. She turned to Edgar to signal him, but he was talking to Nathan and didn't notice her. She could only listen to Ivan.

At last, he promised, "I agree to use my assets to invest in Royden Group. I do not need any shares."

Is it that simple?

Jean gaped and kicked Edgar under the table.

Edgar got her meaning and said with a smile that did not meet his eyes, "The company is..."

Ivan stopped him before he could say anything else, "Mr. Edgar, we should've partnered up a long time ago. We're only doing this now because of my indecisiveness. Let's do our best."

The room went silent. Nathan squirmed in his seat.

"Mr. Bolt, I'm sure you've seen the news about Royden Group. Do you not mind?"

It's not that he was envious of Edgar having a man that came to him on his accord to ask for a partnership; he was just worried that the situation would change or maybe Ivan was someone Edbert

had bribed to create trouble for them.

Ivan's eyes crinkled as he smiled, "I believe Mr. Edgar isn't someone bad. How would I earn any money if I invested according to rumors and followed other people's trends?"

His words convinced Nathan.

At the same time, Edgar nodded, "Now that I know you have this vision, let's find another time to chat."

"There's no need. I've..." Ivan started to say but stopped when Julia glared at him.

He shut his mouth and then put on a smile again.

"Alright, I was too impatient. Let's find a time to chat."

The more she listened to him, the more suspicious she grew.

She interrogated Julia when they went to the bathroom, "Aunt Julia, what's your relationship with Mr. Bolt?"

Julia was washing her hands nonchalantly.

"He's just an old friend I haven't seen in a while."

"Then why would he suddenly want to partner with Royden Group?" Jean asked doubtfully.

Julia cleared her throat and said, "I don't know. Maybe he found out that I came back and heard about my relationship with Edgar, so he came to rekindle our friendship." She turned to Jean and continued, "If you think there's something fishy going on, talk to Edgar. There's no need to become partners."

Jean was hesitant. Royden Group needed a powerhouse. Ivan appearing now was like a gift from the heavens. She couldn't make the decision for Edgar.

"Alright, don't overthink it. Gigi is going overseas for treatment with Dr. Walterson this weekend. Will you send her to the airport?"

"Yeah, I will." Jean turned the tap on, and her hands were encased in cold water.

The meeting with Ivan went too smoothly.

On the way home, Edgar was still uncertain.

"With his prestige, I'm sure he has heard the rumors. Yet, he chose to believe Royden Group. Could he have a third eye?"

"Could it be..." Jean did not continue her thought. Although she was suspicious, she could feel Ivan's

sincerity. He was keen to collaborate with Royden Group.

"Let's not think too much about it. You should go back and rest," Edgar said, then covered her hands with his. They had to pass tomorrow first. His heart ached as he thought about Jean working late with him all these days at the office.

Royden Tower was filled with reporters early the following morning.

Edbert and the directors sat in several black sedans parked a distance away.

They fixed their gaze on the entrance, "Let's see what Edgar will do today!"

"It's funny that he still wants to struggle even when he is at the bottom of the barrel."

"It's all been prepared," George reported to Edbert.

Edbert's sinister smile deepened as he glanced at the tower. "Finally, after so many years, this day has come. Brother, your son will pay your debt."

He lowered his eyes to his legs and broke out in manic laughter.

The sound of cars driving past sounded. Edgar's car entered the parking lot.

Jean unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car with Edgar. The reporters rushed over and shoved their microphones and cameras at their faces.

"Mr. Edgar, will Royden Group announce bankruptcy today?"

"Mr. Edgar, what are your plans after this?"

"Rumors are saying that Royden Group came to this point because you chased Andy Shaw away. Do you regret it?"

Edgar swept his cold gaze at them and said, do not know what regret is when it comes to business. You should go ask Andy and John. His words carried a heavy weight. He grabbed Jean's hand and went in.

"I told you to stay home," he said warmly and lovingly to Jean.

The reporters were locked out of the building. Soon after, the men in the black sedans rushed for the doors. They had all received a message.

"Royden Group managed to sign a ten-year contract with Oprah Group!"

"How can Edgar Royden be this lucky?"

The men couldn't get into the building.

At this time, a luxurious silver limousine was parked at the doors.

Two people came out. One was Julia, and the other was a smiling Ivan.

"Isn't that..."

"Mr. Bolt? When did he get back? What is he doing here?"

It had been many years since Ivan left the business circle, but his name still held some weight. He was not to be underestimated.

Julia pushed her sunglasses up while waiting for Ivan to open the door.

The crowd looked at them curiously. One brave reporter ran up and questioned, "Mr. Bolt, what are you doing at Royden Group today?" "I'm going to invest in Royden Group." Ivan's words hushed the crowd.

Edbert had just exited his car when he heard that.

His insides burned when he looked at Ivan's face. His hands started to shake uncontrollably. He placed themon his wheelchair and forced them to stop trembling. Content

At the same time, Ivan had noticed Edbert. The smile disappeared from his face, and he turned to lead Julia in.

John and some other people gathered before Edbert.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"What do we do now?"

"Didn't you say Andy would come? Where is he?"

There was a beep from George's phone. He looked at the screen and bowed apologetically, "There have been some complications. Andy Shaw is

missing."

Their faces paled.

"What?!"

"What about our funding? Did that brat run off with our money?"

The head of PR came out and ushered the reporters in, "Mr. Edgar and Ms. Eyer will be addressing the rumors from these couple of days. Please."
