Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 349 It Should’ve Been Said Long Time Ago

Ben darted a reflexive gaze at Jean and replied, “All good. Almost complete.” Jean sat quietly as if she hadn’t heard anything. Myer deliberately quizzed Ben on the company’s business performance. Myer’s insinuation against Jean was too obvious to miss.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I will manage the company well.” Ben tried to steer clear of the topic. Jean didn’t react unusually during the dinner. Her apathetic response appeased Myer, so the latter stopped throwing shade at her, “Your cousin, Colin, has something to discuss with you. You are in charge of the company’s affairs.”

Ben nodded with an affirmative, but his attention was on Jean. Colin went on and told him about investing in a jewelry design company.

But Ben was concerned with Jean’s feelings. Plus, this topic had been brought up at the company meeting before, and Ludwig Group had no interest in venturing into jewelry designing.

“Hey Benny, let me explain to you today…”

Jean saw that they were having a fervent discussion, and she excused herself in a low voice, “Ben, I’m going to the kitchen to check on Mrs. Ludwig.”

This was why she came to Ludwig Residence today. Ben said inadvertently, “I’ll go with you.”

“Never mind. You stay here and chat with them. I know the way to the kitchen.” Jean smiled and headed to the kitchen. Colin was zealously explaining to Ben, but the latter didn’t bother to listen.

“Colin, Ludwig Group is not interested in this. In fact, I don’t see any attractive factor in your proposal. I think you should pitch your idea to someone else, and maybe you will find a suitor.” Ben declined subtly.

If Colin pitched his idea to Royden Group, his proposal would go into the trash can immediately. Ben was considerate and accommodating to Colin because they were cousins.

“You guys carry on. I still have something to do.” “Eh, Benny! I haven’t finished explaining yet.” Colin was going to chase after Ben but was stopped by his wife, Leah.

She burrowed her overly trimmed eyebrows, “Enough. Are you blind? He’s totally uninterested in your pitch. Why do you still want to go after him?”

Of course, Colin knew Ben was not interested, but he wanted to try harder.

“All I need is one investment, and I know I can make it!”

Leah rolled her eyes, “Are you sure you can do it?”

“Of course, my pals said. This time is surefire!”

“Well, then I’ll help you find an investor, but you are not allowed to disclose any details to Ben.” Leah uttered while carrying the dishes to the kitchen.
