Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 559

Miles came late. When he saw John, Edbert, and the other directors, he made his way to them leisurely.

"Please come in if you have time. Mr. Edgar would like you to witness it," Miles calmly said, then turned around and left, ignoring the furious expressions on their face.

Edbert no longer held any prestige among these people.

"How about we go and have a look, Mr. Blanc?"

These people were opportunists. They were ready to jump ship if they saw a better opportunity.

"Do you think Edgar will forgive you for how you treated him?" John said harshly. He looked at Edbert with eyes full of hate and spat, "Edbert, explain the situation. Is this all a ploy devised by you and that Shaw brat to steal our money?"© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

He wouldn't have believed Edbert if he hadn't been so convincing. He had taken out all his money from Royden Group and invested it in Andy Shaw. But now it was all gone.

Edbert inhaled slowly, his face stoic as he said, "Let's go." He wanted to see how Edgar would revive Royden Group.

John and the other directors shuffled behind him with crestfallen faces. All the excitement from last night had faded. They realized their childishness once they entered the meeting room.

"Mr. Edgar, what you are saying is that Royden Group is no longer in any financial difficulties with Mr. Bolt's investment. Is that right?"

"Will Royden Group be moving on to Al technology? Will you become the 'Oprah Group' of Yorktown?"

The cameramen all had their cameras pointed at Edgar and Jean.

"Please take turns. Mr. Edgar will answer all questions." Miles tried to keep the reporters' eager questioning at bay.

A few days ago, the public had been discussing when Royden Group would announce bankruptcy. They were all dumbfounded when Edgar and Jean appeared today. It was as if they were phoenixes reborn from their ashes.

With Miles' approval, one of the reporters started to broadcast live.

Those waiting for Edgar to fail miserably were forced to look up to him once again. When the public started to become slightly pacified, the reporters changed the direction of their questions toward the relationship between Edgar and Jean.

"Are you guys remarried?"

"Not yet," Edgar replied quickly and continued with a tinge of regret, "I made a grave mistake and wronged her. I will use the rest of my life repaying my debts."

"Such flowery words," Julia scoffed with her arms crossed.

Ivan timidly nodded beside her. "I agree. He should just answer the questions. Is there a need to give extra information? He's just degrading the importance of this press conference."

There was a lull of silence in the room when he said this, and several people who heard him turned to look at him. They had been paying attention to Edgar, so they did not notice a beautiful lady beside the single Mr. Bolt. From how they interacted, it seemed Ivan Bolt doted on her.

Julia glanced at the stage and Ivan. "That's my niece's future husband. Be careful what you say. No matter how extra his words are, they are more substantial than those that don't keep their promises."

The people listening to their conversation were speechless. How could someone talk like that to the 'Ivan Bolt' that shook the business world ten years ago? And he's laughing?

The directors that had pulled out from Royden Group were pale-faced. They were trying their best not to faint on the spot.

"What are we going to do now? Shouldn't you explain things to us?" Some of them started to ask Edbert.

"You told us to invest in Andy's

company and said he could be the second Edgar Royden.' You said he would prosper like Edgar! Look at this! Do you think Edgar Royden is someone Andy Shaw can beat?"

"Investments are fickle. Did I force you to invest?" Edbert's eyes were full of loathing as he glanced at them. His eyes were like the devil, black to no end.

They had all lost everything,

including John! But the angriest

person there was Edbert Royden. He glared at the two on the stage. He felt a pressure on his chest and coughed out a mouth of blood. Then, his eyes rolled to the back of his head, and he fainted.

George calmly called the ambulance and pushed Edbert out.

Edgar had Jean's hand in his during the whole time. The words he spoke resonated in her ear.

"No matter what happens, I will not change my mind. She stood by me during my toughest time and never left me. Without Jean Eyer, I wouldn't be here today."

His statement sounded slightly hypocritical, but the cameras pictured them as a match made in heaven. They matched in appearance and values. They were like soulmates.

Jean's face grew hot when she heard this. She tried to wriggle her hand out of his grasp, but he held on tighter. With so many cameras on them, she couldn't do anything but fix her gaze on him.

"My apologies. We will wrap up the

press conference. We still have some private matters to sort out. Let us end this now," Edgar said, then turned off the microphone. He turned and looked at Jean Lovingly.

"Let's go,” he whispered, forgetting that her microphone was still on.

Edgar Royden definitely dotes on his wife the most in the business circle. Even in this situation, he only cares if Jean is comfortable, hungry, or tired.

The photographers hurriedly clicked their shutters. This was going to be tomorrow's headline.

Jean pressed her lips together tightly.

Edgar looked at her with warmth in his eyes. “Let's go.” He pushed her chair back and let her down the stage. They left Royden Group under the adoring gaze of the masses.

Miles and the PR department were left to deal with the aftermath.

Ivan followed behind Julia.

“Julia, how did I do? I did great, right?"

"Yeah," Julia replied indifferently.

"Should we go find a place to chat?" Ivan looked at her with excitement and yearning. He was as eager as a young man in love.

Julia stood on the steps of the stage and said, "All you have to do is make sure Jean doesn't find out that I invested with you."

"Of course. No problem!"

"Now, I've repaid all my debt," Julia sighed.

Ivan suddenly became serious. He hurried to her and told her extremely somberly, "Julia, you chose to come back. You even looked for me to help their company. You can't run away anymore.”
