Chapter 217 Chapter 217 Wait for Him to CBack Before Jean could finish, Mr. Coleman went over and interrupted them. "Mrs. Ludwig, it's getting late. It's tto attend the banquet." Mr. Coleman smiled and looked at Jean meaningfully.

His expression was one that pleaded for her to not continue speaking. Jean furrowed her brow. "Mrs. Ludwig, go ahead. I need to get sgroceries." "Alright, since I have something on today. Cvisitwith Benny next time, alright?" Jean smiled but didn't say anything. Through the full-length window, Jean watched plainly as Farra got into the Ludwig family's luxury car. With her attire, the jewelry she wore, and the bag she was holding, nothing on her was what Jean could afford.

She still had to think of how to revive Eyer Group in this period of time. To her, love was a luxury.

As soon as Edgar's plane landed, he received pictures and text messages from Jean. Her manner of speaking was calm as usual. There was even an unfamiliar feeling. He could feel her distance and aloofness just from those few messages.

'Susan has taken ssoup. The doctors cto check on her and instructed her to take her medicine on time.' 'Susan just fell asleep. The nurse's aide is here.' Every message was like a robotic report. But Edgar stared at the messages and pictures for a long time. "Mr. Royden, it's tto get down." Miles reminded him. Edgar kept his cell phone and walked into the hotel.

After the meeting ended, the first thing he did was take out his cell phone, but there wasn't any news. The man wrinkled his brow tightly. He found a quiet spot and dialed Jean's number. "Hello?" Jean had just fallen asleep. She groped in the dark for her cell phone and went to the corridor. "Susan is asleep." Edgar was startled for a moment. He had forgotten that there was a tdifference.

"I..." "You don't have to worry. I asked the doctors and they said that she can leave tomorrow. I will handle everything." She thought that he was worried about Susan.

Hearing her voice that was as calm as water, it was as if Edgar's feelings were soothed.

"We might need to look for someone to cook after leaving the hospital tomorrow." Jean was thinking about how to take good care of Susan.

Edgar's attitude was a lot gentler than usual. "Alright. I'll take care of it. You rest well, too." Hearing Edgar say that, Jean's eyes shook.

She never imagined that Edgar would say something like that to her in her lifetime.

A busy signal cfrom the phone.

Jean's hand fell. When she got back to the caregiver's bed in the hospital room, she couldn't fall back to sleep. When Edgar was away, Jean received quite a number of calls from Mr. Collins at Royden Group. He wanted to discuss with her specific matters regarding the partnership proposal.

She could only drag it out. She only wanted to make decisions once Edgar was back.

She never imagined that while waiting, another person from Royden Group would calong. It was Andy.

He appeared in front of Jean with his assistant and secretary and said, "The partnership proposal between Royden Group and Eyer Group must be implemented within a week. Otherwise, Royden Group will hold Eyer Group responsible for breaking the contract." Contents belong to "But Mr. Royden had promised to extend the deadline." The face of the secretary behind Andy immediately turned cold. “Ms. Eyer, Mr. Shaw didn't chere in person to hear about your personal matters. What relationship you have with Mr. Royden has nothing to do with the company's matters! Mr. Shaw is in charge of this current item. Do you understand?" Jean wrinkled her brow. Of course she knew that she couldn't keep dragging it out.

But Edgar had, in fact, promised her.

"Furthermore, Ms. Eyer, you should be aware of how this contract cabout. Why don't you submit a request to terminate the contract to avoid other issues arising? Once we go the legal route, you'll have no chance of winning." The other party was being aggressive.

It was as if they were dangling the contract termination document in front of her.

"Theo Simpson," Andy said coldly, stopping him from what he was about to say. "This is Mr. Royden's ex-wife after all. Take note of what you're saying." The secretary named Theo only kept quiet after that.

His eyes and expression said everything.

It made Jean uneasy.

"Leave. I want to speak to Ms. Eyer in private." Andy raised his hand. His expression was hard to make out.

The door shut.

A trace of a smile appeared on Andy's face. "Ms. Eyer, you don't have to listen to the nonsense of those subordinates. I believe that Mr. Royden thought it through before giving you these items. Moreover, I don't want to get involved with the partnership between the two of you." Jean silently listened to him. She felt that it wasn't as simple as it seemed.

"But Royden Group's growth today was not because of the ways of the world. Sthings must be done in accordance with the rules. Mr. Collins has contacted you a couple of times, but you deliberately drag it out. I have reason to believe that Eyer Group has no capability to take on this item at all. Which also means, Mr. Royden made an error of judgment this time." The wrinkle in Jean's brow deepened. "No..." "What?" Andy suddenly leaned over and invaded her personal space.

In that moment, all the excuses that Jean had thought of were stuck in her throat. She needed that opportunity. The opportunity that Edgar cup with on a whim to use her and torment her.

She couldn't give it up.

Edgar was right. He was the only person who could resurrect Eyer Group.

Jean made up her mind. She raised her head, and her smile was bright, beautiful, and firm. "Sthings can't be decidedly decided byor you. As far as I know, Mr. Royden will be coming back tomorrow. Why don't we wait for him to cback before we meet and discuss it in detail?" Andy immediately scratched the tip of his brow. "Even if Edgar comes back, can you guarantee that he will stand on your side?" Jean replied, "I will only discuss it with Mr. Royden. I'm sorry, I still have a patient to take care of." After saying that, Jean stood up and walked to Susan's room.

"That servant is an old servant from Ο Royden Residence, and she does, indeed, have a deep relationship with Edgar. But if you want to curry favor with her to reach your goal, I'm afraid that it's not quite possible," Andy said with contempt. "You should know better thanhow cold and ruthless Edgar is. It's better for you to discuss this transaction with me.”

Jean stopped abruptly. She asked him while enunciating each and every word. "Lettake a take a bold guess. You wantto let go of this item so that you can turn this partnership proposal over to Reece Group, am I right?" Andy's eyes narrowed.

After a while, his smile deepened. "Ms. Eyer is indeed a clever woman. But sometimes, it's not a good thing when women are too clever." "I'm sorry, I'm not a pretty face like Gigi." Jean glanced over.

She wasn't wrong.

Andy con behalf of the Reece family. Sam probably couldn't sit still, so he asked Andy for help.

Or perhaps, there was a deal between them.

But all that had nothing to do with her.

What she wanted to do was wait for Edgar's return, but she couldn't guarantee that he would stand on her side when he got back.
