Chapter 121

Chapter 121 She Didn’t Annoy Him

Hearing Jean Eyer’s name, the affluent ladies were noticeably less excited. “Her? MON & Co.’s standard has really dropped.” “I heard that her ex-husband and her…”

“I think I saw Gigi Reece just now. Is Edgar Royden here too?”

It was the easiest to pique the curiosity of others with minor gossip like this. Halfway through the show, Gigi Reece was so distressed that she was about to cry in the washroom.

“Edgar, I beg you, please come pick me! My stomach hurts.” This wasn’t the first time she used the child as an excuse.

On the other end, Edgar Royden just finished a meeting. As he was walking out of the office, he heard a sound coming from his Bluetooth earphones. He furrowed his brow, and his already cold face grew heavier.

“The driver will come pick you.”

“No, Edgar. You have to come personally, okay?” Gigi Reece was practically begging him, her voice extremely timid. She heard footsteps outside while she was speaking, so she quickly hung up.

The call ended abruptly, and Edgar Royden frowned. Nathan Knox, whom he had made an appointment with earlier, drove over. Seeing his expression, Nathan Knox asked, “Something up?”

“Come with me somewhere. Miles, you can get off work.”

“Alright, Mr. Royden.” A supercar drove out of the Royden Group parking lot after that. The sound of the engine swept across the street.

Reaching the entrance of the show, they saw the pictures and names on the billboard. “Jean Eyer’s here too?” Nathan Knox felt that there was more to it.

Edgar Royden wrinkled his brow and made his way up the steps. Nathan Knox shook his head. “It’s been over a year. Why can’t she learn to be a little quieter.”

If Gigi Reece was more perceptive, or if she knew how to win Edgar Royden’s favor, she would’ve been the lady of the Royden Group by now.

But she deliberately couldn’t let go of Jean Eyer.

Nathan Knox followed Edgar Royden in. The show inside was coming to an end. All the designers and models were on stage.

The audience was filled with admiring applause. Everyone could see the influence of MON & Co.’s big show.

“I think the part with the bracelets was pretty good. It was quite innovative.”

“That Jean Eyer really has talent.”

Edgar Royden’s footsteps paused. His gaze couldn’t help but be attracted to the figure on stage. The figure was standing under the spotlight with a quiet, gentle smile, and her eyes were shining with light.
