Chapter 230 Whoever Deals First Wins

“I already knew that Sam Reece wasn’t a good guy when Gary was alive. That daughter of his…” The man who said

this had a face full of anger. He stopped mid-sentence as the thought of the marriage between the Roydens and

the Reeces popped up in his mind. The man coughed and continued, “I didn’t mean it like that, I was just discussing

the matter.”

“I get it, Zenith. I am very clear about what kind of person you are. But you need to know that you have just gotten

back from overseas, there are many things you don’t know. My nephew is just trying to make it up to Jean.” Edbert

sighed and then poured his old friend a cup of tea.

“I only advised you before because I was afraid that we would complicate things more if we involved ourselves in

the youngsters’ matters.”

“I don’t care about that. Jean is my half-daughter. Don’t meddle in her business anymore, I will find a way out for

her.” The man said and then left.

The cups of tea Edbert had poured still had steam coming from them.

He shook his head exasperatedly, “Zenith Rocher, you still have the same temper.”

Meanwhile, Gigi Reece was throwing a tantrum at the hospital. No matter what Edgar said, she just had one

request; and that was to terminate the partnership with Eyer Group and never see Jean Eyer ever again.

“If you don’t promise me, I will…” She stopped herself and looked around the room, wanting to find something to

threaten Edgar with.

The man’s eyebrows shot up, and he asked stonily, “What will you do? Will you try to jump off the building again?”

“I!” Gigi chewed on her lips as her face reddened. “Edgar, I don’t want to do that, but have you ever thought of my

feelings? Do you know how many people are gossiping about me because of the entanglement between you and

Jean? I am your rightful wife!”

Though, they had not had their ceremony or registered their marriage. But she was pregnant with his child. Jean

should know to stand aside.

Gigi knew that the more she argued, the more it would work against her.

“Edgar, I promise my life to you. I’m different from Jean. She’s only getting close to you for revenge.” Gigi mumbled

to Edgar as she leaned delicately on him.

“Revenge.” The man slowly spoke the words. His heart was in turmoil.

He knew that better than anyone, but he did not want to accept it.

“Yeah. My dad told me about the Eyer family; it was because her dad wasn’t an honest businessman that their

business fell through the roof. It has nothing to do with you! You don’t have to make it up to her.” Jean said quickly

when she saw the expression on Edgar’s face. She pulled at his arm.

“I think you should send her away as soon as you can. What if Eyer Group resurrects with this project? She’ll

definitely use that to overthrow Royden Group! By then, it would be too late for you to do anything.” The words Gigi

said were so toxic that it did not suit her beautiful face at all.

Edgar

‘s expression became frostier.

“So, you’re saying that I should make my move first?”

Gigi quickly nodded, “Yes, Edgar. If you want to, I’ll tell my dad, and he’ll definitely help you.”

Edgar looked at her with an indescribable emotion, “Did your dad tell you to say this to me?”

“Yes… and no. I don’t want her to be with you either.” Gigi thought she was being reasonable. Since Winnie’s

leaving, there had been no one to advise her. She could only rely on herself now! She was so immersed in her plans

that she did not notice Edgar’s gaze.

“Edgar, I’m doing this for our future. I don’t think you’ll want people to speculate about the birth of our child, right?

Or do you really think that the two of us cannot deal with one Jean Eyer?” Gigi’s tone was becoming more and more

sad. She clutched the man’s arm, looking like a poor kitten.

Unfortunately, Edgar wasn’t one to fall for these kinds of tricks.

“I’ll think about it.” He said with a smirk.

“Really?!” Gigi’s face broke out in a joyous expression.

“Let me bring you home. I’ll go over later and talk to your dad.”

“Okay. Edgar, could you be nicer to my dad? He’s just worried about us.”

Worried? Of course, he was worried. He would lose more than the benefits he has now if they do not go through

with the wedding.

Edgar knew that Sam Reece wouldn’t tell his daughter. Edgar knew that Sam had played a big part in getting Gigi to

come to the hospital today. His eyes turned so cold it could freeze the Sun. He sent Gigi away and then went back

to Jean’s room.

When he arrived, there was a man in front of the room.

“Mr. Royden.” Will Summers greeted. “Long time no see; you still look the same.”

“Is Zenith Rocher here?”

Only a man like Edgar Royden would dare to call the boss by his full name.

“Yes. Mr. Rocher is here to see Ms. Eyer, and in the meantime, also talk about collaborating with Eyer Group.”

Edgar scoffed.

“Tell him to not waste his energy. Jean wouldn’t believe him. Didn’t he go into hiding when things went bad at the

Eyers? It’s too late for him to come curry favor now.”

The smile on Will’s face fell. It sounded like Edgar was saying that they had nothing to do with the Eyer family.

“That’s up to Ms. Eyer to decide.”

Edgar glared at the door, fury burning in his heart. He immediately turned around and left. Jean wouldn’t want to

see him anyways, as he had been too rough with her.

His phone rang. It was Nathan Knox.

“Edgar, my uncle’s back!”

Zenith Rocher was Nathan’s aunt’s husband. They were distantly related.

“I know. He’s at the hospital.” Edgar said with a cold look as he walked into the elevator.

“Have you met?” Nathan was curious.

When things had gone bad at the Eyer family, many of Gary Eyer’s close friends started to distance themselves

from Edgar. Zenith was an outlier, as he had left the country for treatment, and because of that, he couldn’t help

the Eyer family.

If he had been here, maybe the Eyer family wouldn’t have… fallen so fast.

“Not yet.” Edgar said plainly. He did not want to continue this topic.

On the other end, Nathan sighed, “I know you don’t want to hear this, but things are different from before. Do you

know that my aunt has a son? Uncle wants to introduce him to Jean.”

‘Beep beep beep’

Nathan was met with the dial tone.

“Should I not have said that?” Nathan scratched his head.

But knowing Edgar, he would be even madder if he found out about that through someone else.
