Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 100 Apologizing Is an Option Half an hour later. In the president's office of Royden Group. Edgar had just taken care of the banned goods - he had made sure to destroy all of them, leaving no traces of evidence behind.

"Sir, the board members are unsettled, Mr. Negreanu has expressed his concerns about the wastage, and he'd like to know who is going to fill that gap?"

Edgar lowered his eyes as he started drumming his fingers on the desk. "Are we sure that Andy was responsible for the goods?"

"Mr. Shaw went overseas to get the purchase done, and the price was much lower than before." Miles reported. Moments later, Edgar uttered with a deep voice, "That is enough."

Miles raised his brows, waiting to hear what else Edgar had to say. Edgar remained silent for a long while, then said, "She tried to instigate a conflict within the company, hilarious."

Edgar would never allow it. But Miles responded hesitantly, "Mr. Royden, I heard from MON & Co. that Miss Eyer beat someone up at the company." Edgar was not sure if he should believe it, "She beat someone?"

In his eyes, Jean would never do such a thing. "Why?"

"The other person offended her by bringing up your relationship with her, and she lashed out." Miles conveyed what he was told.

As soon as he finished his sentence, Edgar's face turned as dark as they come.

"Take care of it, Oprah Group is sending someone over next week, I do not want them to hear anything about this."

"Yes, Mr. Royden."

Meanwhile, at MON & Co.

Jean sat firmly on the couch and refused to break her silence, no matter what Anna and Hanson asked.

"You've barely been promoted to designer after we made an exception for you, and now you put your hands on the intern's instructor? What on earth do you think you're doing? Are you out of your mind?!"

Anna gaped her eyes as she paced her room with her rather plump figure, pointing at Jean's face disappointingly. "Look, Sky found out about it already, just you wait, your career is over."

Hansen rubbed his temples, "Enough, it's too late to say anything now. Xander has gone to the hospital for an injury assessment, I don't think it's that concerning."NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"Mr. Hansen, as you know, Xander... Is the only son of the Quade family. Who is going to be held accountable if he is seriously injured?"

When Anna heard about the news, she was quick to put the blame on Jean.

She was tired of the troubles Jean brought along - first she crossed the daughter of the Sans, and now she had physically assaulted the son of the Quades.

Hansen took on a frown.

Their conversation had been recorded in the surveillance footage.

And it was clear that Xander had been provocative throughout the exchange.

Nobody would have been able to hold themselves.

But...

He looked at Jean reluctantly, "Why don't you go to the hospital and apologize to him?"

Jean's eyes became soulless, and she no longer wanted to retaliate, "Okay."

An apology? Sure.

But nobody is to blame me if anything happens after.

She was somewhat restricted by what she could do here at MON & Co. But if it were a public space like the hospital, she would be able to do as she wished - as long as she was willing to bear the consequences.

Jean grabbed her bag and headed for the exit.

While Anna blinked a few times confusedly. "Mr. Hansen, don't you think she looked a little odd when she left? Why didn't she fight back?!"

It made no sense.

Jean had always been a troublemaker since back in the days when she had to travel a lot for work. Besides, she had such a strong personality. Why would she yield without a word today?

Anna's sixth sense told her that something was not right.

While Hansen said casually, "Although Xander is the young master of the Quades, his words were not only insulting to Jean, but also damaging to Mr. Royden's reputation. I'll leave it to you to strike the balance between the two."

It finally dawned on Anna.

"Right, you're right, we must not cross Mr. Royden!"

Besides, Jean was already on her way to the hospital to apologize to Xander. It would be wise to let the matter rest instead of making it worse.

It was simple for them - to let the past stay in the past.

Alas, it might not be so simple for the Quades.

Xander was sent for multiple injury assessments and had every part of his body looked at.

After getting the report, Mrs. Quade asked the doctor anxiously, "My son isn't married, are you sure he is fine? Can he still have children?" Contents belong The doctor smiled helplessly, "Don't worry ma'am, he is okay."

But it was not enough to put Mrs. Quade's mind to rest. When she returned to the ward, she saw Jean approaching them.

"It's strange how thick-skinned people can be these days; how does one not allow others to speak the truth? I mean it's clear how some women offer themselves to men like a free sample at Costco."

Although she appeared to be talking to the air, she made sure Jean could hear every word that had left her lips.

Jean glanced at her coldly, eyes filled with apathy.

Mrs. Quade straightened her back and cleared her throat, "Look at my son's current state, thanks to you. We will never let the matter rest until the assessment report is released."

Meanwhile, Xander lied on the bed silently.

Jean scoffed, "Are you okay?"

The question was directed at Xander.

There was a tinge of reluctance in Xander's normally obsidian eyes. The hefty kick from earlier hurt him so bad that at one point, he thought he might not live to see another day.

He then gritted his teeth, "So rude! It's surprising to know that you are an Eyer!"

Putting her hands on someone?

No one would have imagined that she was born to a once-wealthy family.

No wonder her reputation was tainted. Not even the gods could redeem her, and it was no surprise that Edgar Royden had dumped her.

"Well, it's also surprising to me that toxicity runs in the Quade family." She uttered coolly, "You pretended to want to work with me on the surface but were only trying to use me as a steppingstone to take over the market shares of Royden Group. How could you be so despicable?"

"What about putting in the brains and efforts like everyone else? Pfft, people like you disgust me."

Xander became green and blue in the face as his ploy was exposed.

"What now? I wasn't born yesterday. I ve made it clear to you when we first met that I'll never work with you, but you never stopped pestering me, and even transferred me to Sky's team. Please, don't take me as a fool, I can read you like a book."

Jean chuckled, "Xander, this is your final warning, stay away from me, or I will turn you into a eunuch."

'Bang.'

As soon as she finished what she had to say, she slammed the door and left.

Miles was standing by the door throughout the exchange, and he barely managed to hide himself before Jean noticed him.

He had spoken to the doctor about the injury assessment and coincidentally overheard Jean's words while making his way to the ward.

So, the Quades are coming for Royden Group? Miles quickly made a call to the dean of the private hospital.

He was greeted with an obsequious voice, "Good day Miles, what can I do for you?" "Xander Quade is staying at your hospital, isn't he?"

"That's right, he's just been admitted today." The Quades were considered one of the more reputable forces in the city, so the dean was informed about this.

But the Quades were not powerful enough for him to make his way to the hospital.

The best he could do for them was send one of his consultants to overlook the case personally.

On the other hand, Edgar Royden was on a different level!
