Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 236 Declaration

Jean was deep in her thoughts, occasionally glancing at the door of Edgar’s office. He had a sudden meeting with clients and had to go out, so she was the only person in the office.

There are cameras at the door and behind the desk. If they could be temporarily blocked…

Jean grabbed her mug tightly. I don’t want to be seen as a thief, but if I miss this opportunity, I have no idea how much longer I have to wait.

Ten minutes later, after Edgar finished the meeting with his client, he walked back to his office with Miles beside him. “Mr. Royden, Mr. Shaw is looking for you.” With that, he passed the phone to Edgar.

After picking it up, he stopped right at his door as soon as he heard what Andy was telling him. Through the windows, he seemed to see Jean’s figure disappear over the couch.

With a frown on his face, he listened to Andy’s warning. “You know very well that Jean is looking for opportunities to take revenge on you. Royden Group simply cannot take any more upheavals, so you’d better settle your private matters, lest they affect the company’s future prospects.” Andy grinned.

“If she really went to steal something from your safe, it shows that there’s nothing wrong with her ears. In that case, you have to discuss about dissolving the contract between both companies. Oh, and by the way, I founded this company with you, and we have worked together all this while. I want to get back what I deserve.”

Edgar passed the phone back to Miles indifferently. “Tell all the employees on this floor that they can go home now.”

“Yes, Mr. Royden,” he replied with a nod.

Edgar took a deep breath before opening the door of his office. He looked around vigilantly, but he didn’t see Jean.

His gaze became colder as he set his eyes on the smaller room in his office.

If she’s in there…

Grabbing the door handle, he finally stopped hesitating. If so, she believed in Andy. She forced me to do this.

“You’re back?”

Suddenly, her voice rang from behind him. He immediately turned around and looked at her with conflicting emotions.
