Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 528

Xena had never been so brash since she joined Royden Group.

She saw some of the managers looking at her in extreme astonishment.

In that instant, she was incredibly proud of herself.

She didn't even think about how detrimental Jean's following sentence would be. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"You're going back on your word, Ms.Xena.I can only contact the lawyer and discuss how some people stole business information and hid the acquisition filing from me."

Not many people knew about it at first.

Jean revealed it in front of all the managers.

Everyone at the scene was bright and understood it clearly after what Jean said.

Jean had something on Xena, and to ensure it wouldn't get out of hand, she allowed Jean to start a new post in Royden Group as vice president.

In that case, how does Xena have the nerve to strut around in front of Jean? She could go to jail with one word from Jean.Young girls these days weren't very bright.

The mood changed instantly.

Xena stood where she was as her expression turned white and red.

"Hmm? Have you gone mute?"

Jean glanced at her and turned to walk to the couch at the back and sat down.She looked up.

"I'm waiting for an apology."

Xena felt humiliated.

It was as though countless pairs of eyes were staring at her.

She went forward and hesitated before she stammered and spat out two words.

"I'm sorry’ Jean looked at her in a reserved manner.Xena clenched her fists and spoke a little louder, "I'm sorry."

Jean turned her head to the side and looked at Xena as she blinked.

She slowly asked, "Weren't you speaking quite loudly when you questioned me?"

"Do young people these days only berate others but not admit fault?"

"If this was what Edbert taught you, you don't have to fight over Royden Group.

It has better chances of being handed to some random passerby than falling into your hands."

Xena took all of it head on.

Everyone behind them gasped.

Isn't she insulting Edbert as well? Edbert and Xena were hypocritical in front of others.

They had been on the financial news in the morning.

Furthermore, Edbert had an outward image of being kind and gentle.

He would never be rude or insolent to anyone.

As for what he did...

Now, Ebert had departed the company, and Xena was left.

The directors often forgave Xena because of her young age.

No one had thought that Jean would expose such a thing without considering Edbert.

But discerning people would understand once they thought about it.

Royden Group spent half the amount absorbing Eyer Group.

Would Jean be friendly to Xena? Whatever Jean said was nothing since Xena was afraid to go to jail.

To look at the bigger picture, this company would still belong to Edgar.

If Jean were willing to remarry Edgar, both the Eyer Group and Royden Group would become one.

There was no point in splitting hairs.

Xena wanted to humiliate Jean, but she shot herself in the foot.

The blazing hot gazes from people around them made her very annoyed.

But if they continued to be deadlocked, Xena would only continue humiliating herself.

She wrinkled her brows and braced herself before she yelled, "I’m sorry!"

After that, she ran away crying.

She had taken advantage of her position to bully Jean, but it had backfired.

She ended up crying and feeling wronged instead.

Such tricks couldn't be played in plain sight.

Jean smiled lightly.

"How can she cry so easily? Rachel, do you think she can last a month?"

Rachel, who was at the side, clicked her tongue.

"No way"

Jean put on her shades again and walked toward her office.

The managers immediately followed.

They had to choose the right team at this time.

Otherwise, they would be the next ones to run from the company while crying.

What greeted Jean when she walked into her office was a curved full-length window.

The electric curtains opened automatically, and there was a faint fragrance of lilies in the air.

Everything from the chair to the decorations was stylish and chic.

With one glance, it was apparent that someone had designed it meticulously.

Rachel was slightly disoriented as she looked at it.

At the side, Miles smiled like he wanted to take credit for it.

"What do you think? I decorated it under Mr.Royden's instructions."

He thought that Rachel would praise him under such circumstances.

He never thought that...

Rachel quickly resumed her cold expression.

"With Royden Group's power, is it difficult to decorate an office? Or are you saying you view your position so lowly that an office can make you pleased with yourself?"

Miles was dumbstruck.

He gritted his teeth in silence.

He shouldn't have asked.

Fortunately, Jean thanked him.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Miles' young and frail spirit was consoled.

"You can rest now.

There's a meeting in the afternoon to confirm the specifics of next week's team building."

"Team building?"

Rachel looked at him in surprise.

Miles nodded at once.

He didn't dare to say anymore, so he left quietly.

This team building had been scheduled for next month, but the date was changed at the last minute because Jean started working at Royden Group.

Now almost the whole company knew how much Mr.Royden valued his ex-wife.

Therefore, there should be less provocation from people like Xena in the future.

Miles immediately told Edgar how he had received Jean and Rachel in the morning.

He emphasized the company's warm reception to Jean and how she had gotten rid of Xena without much effort.

A gentle smile flickered across Edgar's face.

Such an expression would only appear when Jean was the topic of discussion.

From Edgar's face, Miles knew he was in a great mood.

So, Miles gave Edgar a timely reminder.

"Mr.Royden, it's time to confirm next week's team-building specifics!"

He had to strike while it was hot.

Edgar walked into the meeting room in high spirits.

He wanted to take advantage of his role and find an opportunity to speak to Jean alone.

But he found out from Rachel that Jean had requested to go on leave.

"She has requested one week's leave.

Here is her request slip; Rachel said in a businesslike tone.

Besides Jean, she was the only person in the company to treat Edgar disdainfully.

It wasn't because of a lack of respect, but instead Rachel's knowledge about their personal relationships.

It was out of a sense of protection for Jean and only natural that Rachel disregarded Edgar.

"Ms.

Eyer isn't feeling too well, so she requested time off.

There shouldn't be a problem, should there, Mr.Royden?"

Her last question was her way of giving Edgar a way out.

If it wasn't approved, she still had other ways.

Edgar's joyful heart was extinguished entirely in that instant.

He raised his hands and took a pen from Miles.

He quickly signed his name.

"Alright, let's start the meeting"

He wasn't in the mood at all.

At this time, there was a voice outside the door.

"Mr.Royden, the reporters are here.Ms.Xena is ready"

"What?"

Edgar stood up straight, and his gaze was deep and cold.

The employee was startled.

"Aren't you being interviewed together with Ms. Xena?"
