Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 186

Chapter 186 Like a Lamb to the Slaughter

Their conversation kept ringing in Edgar’s ears. Is she deliberately showing her affection to Ben to attract public discussion? Or has she changed her mind and decided to marry Ben?

Edgar clenched his fist tightly and struggled to control his surging anger. Miles did not dare to look at Edgar’s face as he gave Edgar a report. “Mr. Royden, this is the document for later.” Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Edgar slowly closed his eyes to calm his thoughts. By the time he opened them again, his expression had returned to the usual indifference.

Who cares who she is affectionate with? It has nothing to do with me! “Both Ludwig Group and Sans Group want the development right to this land?” Edgar asked indifferently.

“Yes, we are certain about this.” Miles pushed up his glasses. Royden Group was able to obtain this information beforehand. “I’m not giving it to any of them.”

His words instantly decided the direction of the matter. “Then…” Miles was unsure what Edgar was planning. Edgar raised his hand, prompting Miles to lean closer for Edgar to whisper his instructions. Although Miles was shocked, he still nodded and said, “I’ll get it done immediately.”

Then, the Pillars Summit officially began. The events proceeded as stated in the schedule. Jean focused on learning as much as she could because such an opportunity would not come every day.

However, Edgar, who was seated in the front row, seemed relaxed. People would approach him to talk from time to time. Although Jean could not see his face, she could see from his posture, demeanor, and the occasional glimpse of his side profile that he appeared relaxed.

He was able to raise Royden Group to its present prominence. It was not something an ordinary person could achieve. Although most people here were elites in the business world, they still had to watch out

for him. There was an immense disparity between them and Edgar.

Jean was stunned briefly. It was at this moment that she realized how wide and deep the gulf between her and Edgar was.

“Jean, the bidding segment is coming soon.” Ben reminded Jean as she seemed distracted.

“Oh, sure.”

Jean became alert and watched the chairman of the chamber of commerce walking toward Edgar. After asking a few questions, the chairman said cheerfully, “We have come to the segment concerning joint development right to the project in the west of the city. Royden Group is the host company. To avoid strife, Royden Group has decided to use a lucky draw to choose a company to collaborate with them.”

Avoid strife?

Jean frowned. Edgar did not seem like someone who would care about others’ feelings.

“Is he doing that? That means we all have a chance!” Someone seated at the back said excitedly, “I hope I can get it. It would be like winning a lottery.”

“But what if someone draws the project but is not qualified enough to carry out the project? After all, not everyone can collaborate with Royden Group.”
