Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 257 Unnecessary Compensation

What Edgar said pierced Jean’s heart. She felt as if she had been seen through. She couldn’t hide any of her thoughts.

“Don’t rush to turn me down. You have to think about your life. Jensen and his classmates can only give you opinions for your consideration. I’m the one who can fulfill all your dreams.”

Every word Edgar was saying stabbed Jean’s heart. “Help yourself to the food. I’ll be heading out. I won’t disturb you.” He knew that she would be unhappy looking at him, so he gave up space and gave her the freedom to be alone.

The guard Jean had in her heart melted with the crisp sound of the door shutting. “If you had done this two years ago, it would have been great.”

Outside the door, Jensen had gone two rounds in the corridor, but he couldn’t find Jean. He bumped into Edgar, standing at the entrance of the private room.

“Mr. Royden?” Jensen wanted to open the door subconsciously and go into the private room behind Edgar. “Is Jean inside?”

The wrist with a branded watch stopped him just in time.

“The person inside is my guest. You’re still not worthy of fighting over her with me.”

In the business world, Edgar was on equal footing with people of Zenith’s generation. Even people like Jensen had to take Edgar’s opinions and thoughts into account.

Jensen had left college not too long ago. If they were to be compared, ten of him couldn’t beat a single Edgar.

But he was young and vigorous, and he wanted to barge in.

“You don’t have the right to interfere with her freedom.”

“Really? You keep pursuing her and aggressively made use of your dad’s friendship with her family. How is that respecting her?” Edgar glanced at him coldly. “Moreover, did you know that she gave up studying abroad for me back then?”

Jensen was startled. He couldn’t say anything.

“If there’s anyone to help make up for this regret of hers, it can only be me. Do you understand?”

He had enough power. In a month, he could send Jean to any high-level institution that she wanted to go to. Unlike Jensen, who had to go through the so-called processes and waste time.

And she didn’t need to be criticized.

Edgar always did things in the most direct manner. His goals were his baseline, and he would try everything to achieve them.
