Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 177

Chapter 177 Time Won’t Wait

Nathan hesitated for a moment. He believed Jean’s response was within Edgar’s expectations. Therefore, he followed Edgar’s instruction and answered, “Garrison Group must not change its name for a year and shall not compete in any business with Royden Group.”

Jean sneered and asked, “What about one year later?”

“That’s up to you, Ms. Eyer.” Jean glanced at the transfer document. “Royden Group has already robbed Eyer Group of all its business. Now, Edgar still refuses to let me change the company name or take back what was mine. What use is an empty shell of a company to me?”

Edgar is toying with me. Or, he is trying to distract me so that I won’t disturb Gigi for a year. That way, Gigi can give birth to their child in peace. What meticulous planning.

Unfortunately for him, I’m not as gullible as I was before. While my father made a mistake in trusting Edgar, I won’t do the same. “Ms. Eyer, you mustn’t think of it this way. It is good news for you. Otherwise, this company will likely…”

“Mr. Knox, my grudge with Edgar is not something that can be resolved with him giving me this company.” Jean interrupted him and looked at him with eyes cold as a frozen lake. “What I want is to destroy his reputation and wealth and make him disappear from Yorktown forever.”

Nathan sighed helplessly. “Must you go down this path?”

Jean’s eyes became shrouded with sadness. She got up and said indifferently. “Alternatively, he can turn back time and bring my father back from the dead.”

I will never accept a compromise. Everyone who committs wrong must be punished. “Can’t you be sensible?” Nathan tried to stop Jean from leaving.

He rushed after Jean as she circled past a neighboring table and accidentally saw Gigi and Director Lewis. Director Lewis even wrapped his arm around Gigi’s shoulder like it was the most natural thing. They seemed intimate.

“Jean? Nathan…” Gigi’s face turned pale, and she stood up immediately. “Mr. Knox, please don’t misunderstand. We are discussing business.”

“You… Argh.” Nathan did not know what to say. By the time he looked away from Gigi, Jean had already left. He turned around to leave. At the same time, Gigi quickly put on her coat and followed him.

“Mr. Knox, can you please not tell Edgar about this? I’m here to negotiate a film role.” Gigi was so anxious that she nearly cried. She kept promising that she would never attend such a gathering again.

Nathan glanced at Gigi and looked away helplessly. “There is no point telling me this. Compared to Jean, you are still lacking a lot of things.”

Before Gigi could react, Nathan had already driven his car away.

“Why did Nathan and Jean meet? Could it be…” Gigi’s phone rang as she was thinking. It was a call from Andy.
