Chapter 225 Save Your Energy

If it wasn’t for Edgar? Ha! I should’ve known. Jean sneered coldly. Besides Ben, every member of the Ludwig family is money-minded. She inhaled deeply and uttered, “Ben, I’m taking my leave first.”

She did not want to argue with a cunning businessman like Myer, for the sake of Ben. “Stop there!” Myer slammed his palm on the table with a fierce look on his face. Farra wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

“We’re willing to take you in as our daughter-in-law out of respect for your late father. However, not only did you turn me down, but you even dared to contradict me!”

Myer would only behave obsequiously to someone like Edgar. He couldn’t possibly endure being given the cold shoulder by Jean, so he blurted the harsh words mercilessly.

“Everyone in the city is well aware of how you got the project. Edgar is being generous to you. Do you really think all of us are idiots?”

“Dad! How can you say that to her?”

Frowning, Ben stood in front of Jean and fearlessly refuted his father.

Farra stopped Myer and said, “Come on, you don’t have to argue with the children.”

Myer scoffed, “You should know your position. How dare you…”

“It seems Mr. Ludwig is getting more hot-tempered these days.” Suddenly, Edgar’s voice emerged in the air as he swiftly strode into the house with a stern look.

After glancing coldly at the others, his gaze came upon Jean at last.

Standing beside Jean, his tall figure immediately blocked the light on top of her.

“Mr. Royden!”

Myer quickly changed his expression, and walked up to Edgar. “You should’ve told me earlier that you were coming so that I could await you at the entrance.”

Edgar shot a glance at Myer with eyes filled with immense coldness. “I was just passing by. Otherwise, I would have missed this good show.”

Perceiving Edgar’s implicit meaning, Myer squeezed an awkward smile.

“Were you just passing by, Mr. Royden? I think you came specially for her.” Ben knitted his brows; his voice was filled with enmity.

Jean’s heart jolted. Before she could say anything, Edgar put on a profound smile. The hostility between his brows was extremely intimidating. “Since you’re aware of it, I’ll bring her away now.”
