Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 78 A Show He was the young master of the Quande family and a classmate from Jean's college. They weren't close to each other back then. Xander even hated Jean.

The Quande family and the Eyer family were business rivalries for years. However, after the Eyer family went bankrupt, the Quande family's business did not expand as expected. Jean had to hide from the loan sharks, so she didn't have the chance to find out what had happened.

But Jean was certain that Edgar, who had wild ambitions, wouldn't let anyone benefit from the two families. All Eyer Group shares were basically bought over by the Royden Group.

Jean still remembered that when she was about to marry Edgar, Xander went to study design abroad at her favorite university.

Xander probably took her place after she gave up the open-ended admission.

"Alright, let's not waste time. We'll talk about your intention of studying design here at seven o'clock tonight."

"Sure!"

All the female interns were not shy in hiding their excitement and adoration for Xander. Jean was the only one who remained calm.

After Jean packed her things, she planned to take some things from Monica's office before going back to the hospital.

"Jean."

She was going down the stairs.

But she heard someone calling her.

Jean turned back and saw Xander smiling at her, "I owe you a cup of coffee. Can I pay you back today?"

Jean was confused as she did not remember the deal.

All the female interns were staring murderously at Jean, plus Xander kept on insisting. Jean had no choice but to agree quickly.

"Sure."

Jean left with Xander.

All the interns immediately gathered together and gossip about them.

"What happened? How did they know each other? I heard that he had just come back from abroad."

"Jean is so lucky. All the guys around her are super handsome!"

"The next season's design competition is coming soon. Jean is surely becoming a permanent employee of MON & Co. with the help of our lecturer."

Sally looked at Jean and Xander with doubts.

She didn't think that Xander was interested in Jean.

For one second, she actually saw Xander looking at Jean with resentment.

The atmosphere of the cafe was great. Jean looked curiously at the person in front of her, "Why would you want to help me win the design competition?"

Xander was stirring his coffee.

"Because you're talented! Not one of the interns is as good as you. Besides, I know what happened to your father. All you need is a chance."

Jean was speechless.

Xander continued, "Besides, you were the one given the opportunity to study abroad. So, everything I own now should belong to you."

Xander smiled and said.

Jean shook her head, "You've earned your opportunity with your own hard work.

It has nothing to do with me. I admit that I really want to win the first prize, but I don't want to play dirty."

After Jean finished speaking, she got up and left.

Suddenly, Xander burst into laughter.

"Stop pretending. I know what you're up to."

Jean stood rooted to the spot. She turned around and looked at Xander.

Xander took out a business card and put it on the table. It was the paparazzi company entrusted by Jean.

She frowned. We really can't have any secrets in this world. People will always work for whoever pays more.

Jean knew that someone would expose her wrongdoings, but she didn't expect them to find out so soon.

"What are you trying to do?"

She walked back and stared curiously at Xander.

"Let's join forces. I hate Edgar too."

Half an hour later, Jean walked home. Contents belong Xander's suggestions are indeed very tempting. Coupled with my talents, I will definitely win with Xander's experience.

Should I cooperate with him?

Will there be any problem?

The more she thought about it, the slower she walked. Suddenly, a black minivan stopped in front of her.

Miles got out of the car, "Miss Eyer, Mr. Royden wants to invite you over."

Jean looked at the other three bodyguards sitting in the car and sneered, "Miles, I don't think the word 'invite' is appropriate for the situation now."

Miles remained silent while raising her hand.

Jean had no choice but to get in the car.

She put her hand in her backpack as the door closed.

But before she could take anything out, the bodyguards grabbed both of her hands. Her bag and mobile phone were also taken away.

Jean was angry. "Edgar is such a rat!"

He might as well just kill me.

Is he trying to eliminate the source of the problem once and for all?

Miles adjusted her glasses and said, "Miss Eyer, don't get us wrong. Mr. Royden has no malicious intent. It's just that the place we're going to restrict electronic devices usage."

Jean frowned.

The route seemed very familiar to her.

Soon, they reached the back door of Luminance Villa.

"What are we doing here?"

"Mr. Royden wants to invite Miss Eyer to lunch." Miles said while hinting at the bodyguards behind her.

Jean was immediately carried into the villa..

She was at a loss when she looked at the table of dishes in the private room.

"Did Edgar lose his ego?"

Why would he invite me to lunch all of a sudden?

Miles instructed the bodyguards to go out, then told Jean, "Mr. Royden's guest will be arriving soon. Thope that Miss Eyer can eat quietly and don't disturb them."

Before Jean could speak, Miles had already closed the door.

There was an eerie silence in the room.

Jean was using the chopsticks to pick up a slice of sweet and sour meat when she heard the sound of an electric roller shutter.

Jean could clearly see and hear the voice of the person in the private room next door.

Jean was chewing the meat while watching quietly...

Edgar was already sitting in the room. After Miles whispered om something in his ear, he turned and stared coldly at Jean.

After a while, Edgar turned back. He then closed his eyes for a rest.

Jean was inexplicably confused.

But since it was a free lunch, Jean stayed.

When she was about to enjoy her feast, Winnie and Gigi walked in Edgar's room.

Both of them, especially Winnie, smiled happily when they saw him.

"I'm so sorry, Edgar. I was stuck in the traffic just now. Sorry for letting you wait!"

Disgusting!

Jean frowned. She totally lost her appetite.

Is this a show?

Or is he just trying to make me mad?
