Edgar and His Destined Wife

The reporters swarmed at Jean when they saw her walking out of the hospital.
“Which ward is Mr. Royden in?” Jean flung on a mask to cover her face and reticently sidestepped the hounding reporters.
The news about new personnel to assume the role of president of Royden Group had just been released.
Unless someone had jumped the gun and tipped off the media in advance otherwise, the reporters couldn't intercept her at the
hospital readily.
“Edbert, you think you have us under your thumb.
The truth is you don't." Unlike her father, Jean refused to be used as a pawn by anyone.
Jean immediately notified the media company she had an affiliation with to refute all the scandals on the Internet.
She asked Rachel to buy Royden Group shares from the other retail investors.
“I'll go to the office now." In advance, Jean instructed Rachel to sort out the company's accounts as she intended to sell the
company to Edgar in the hope of concluding their convolution and entanglement once and for all.
But the plan had to be aborted now.
She was determined to make Edbert pay for what he had done to her family.
She wouldn't let anyone stop her, not even Edgar.
The next morning, the news about Edbert's failed surgery had disseminated to the public.
Meanwhile, the hospital was unable to elucidate the incident to the media.
A whistle-blower revealed that Edbert's daughter was seen quarreling with Jean in the corridors of the hospital.
As a matter of fact, the climate of opinion was overwhelmingly leaning toward Edbert's daughter and against Jean.
"Mr. Royden, the situation of our company is stabilizing now, and the board of directors hasn't expressed anything concerning
that.

On the contrary, Xena is the problematic one.” Miles reported, “Eyer Group has hired a lawyer to sue Xena for defamation’ Edgar
paused as he held on to the car door.
A hint of blues flickered in his eyes, "Anything else?” Miles uttered as he glanced at his phone, "Xena has been calling me
nonstop after attempting on yours but without a response all night.” "Change a new number” Edgar got into the car, and before
he rolled up the car window, he said to Miles, "Do not bother with anything today.’ "Okay.
Edgar started the car engine and departed to Eyer Residence.
Miles looked at the disappearing car and secretly hoped the rest of the day would turn out in Edgar's favor.
But as expected, Edgar was rejected again.
Jean shunned Edgar and deliberately ignored his phone calls.
The latter stood and waited in front of her door, whose countenance cautioned the passersby to point or stare at him.
But their scrutiny didn't bother him at all.
Edgar reckoned he needed to do something to get Jean's attention.
He had no choice but to call Susan over.
Then, the two of them rang Jean's doorbell again, carrying a bag of groceries.
Jean didn't respond despite Edgar and Susan ringing her doorbell ceaselessly.
Susan sighed, "Mr. Royden, could it be that Ms. Eyer is away?" "She's definitely at home." He creased his forehead.
"Then it must be that she doesn't want to see you.” Susan had watched the news.
Although she didn't know what had happened, looking at Edgar's malaise, she had an inkling that he might have done something
that upset Jean.
Susan was a straightforward person.
She rebuked Edgar ferociously on the steps outside of Eyer's Residence.
"Ms. Eyer is pregnant now.

It's inevitable that she has mood swings and is irritable during this period.
The same thing has happened before.
Why did you still upset her when you knew she was sensitive and didn't like to be bothered unnecessarily?" Edgar didn't even
get to defend himself and was reprimanded by Susan again.
He was chagrined for getting an earful from Susan, "It's not what you think, Susan.
| come here to apologize, but she doesn't want to see me.
What can | do?” Susan twitched her lips in disdain, "Apologizing shouldn't be too difficult for you if you do it sincerely” A rude
awakening startled Edgar.
He immediately put down the groceries and said, "Keep knocking on the door, Susan.
I'll be right back.” Susan was dumbfounded by Edgar's arbitrary quitting.
Shortly after Edgar had left, Jean opened the door.
"Susan, come in first’ Jean said helplessly.
After all, Susan was in her dotage, Jean couldn't bear to keep her waiting outside.
"Uh, okay” Susan picked up the groceries from the ground and hurried through the door.
About ten minutes later, Jean and Susan stood in front of the high- ceiling windows, watching the fireworks and balloons outside
the window.
Susan shook her head in disbelief.
She couldn't believe this was Edgar's best bet.
"Ms. Eyer, Mr. Royden is desperate to see you.
He told me he couldn't wait to see you.
Maybe it's something urgent that he wants to tell you.” Susan tried to salvage the situation in favor of Edgar.

Seeing Jean's stolid expression, Susan resignedly kept her mouth shut.
After all, she was an outsider.
It was impossible to force Jean to forgive Edgar.
Eventually, Jean flashed a faint smirk.
"Give him a call, Susan.
Tell him | won't see him today.
Ask him to give up.
After speaking, Jean layered up a coat and went out.
Susan immediately chased after her and hurriedly called Edgar.
"Mr. Royden, Ms. Eyer is going out!” Jean had gone without a trace when Edgar rushed over.
"She didn't tell me where she was going, but she said she won't see you today.
What's the occasion?" Susan felt an indescribable anxiety when she recalled Jean's expression just now.
Edgar looked disappointed.
"Today is our wedding anniversary.” Of course, he remembered.
"Susan, you stay here.
Notify me immediately if she comes back." He hopped in the car and sped away.
Susan muttered retrospectively, "I see...” How disappointed Jean must have felt towards Edgar for her to shun him.
Perhaps she hadn't resolved the pent-up emotions that may be contributing to her melancholy.
Edgar searched around places where he thought Jean might have been.
He even called Ben and Rachel, but they couldn't get to Jean either.

In the end, he managed to locate Jean with the help of Officer Bunnings.
Jean had gone back to the private hospital.
Jean stood on the steps with an ashen face.
She looked frail and devastated.
Jean clenched the test sheet, tears streaming down her cheeks as she watched the man run up to her.
“Edgar Royden, from now on, we are even.” "You don't have to put up with me just because I'm pregnant with your child.” "Leave
behind the generational hate and conflict between our family.
Forget about our fatuous marriage.
From this moment on, | have nothing to do with Edgar Royden.
We do not owe each other anything." Edgar hadn't come back to his senses.
Anurse chased after Jean, "Ms. Eyer, you just had an abortion surgery.
You must be careful.” Abortion?? Edgar bulged his eyes in disbelief.
He frantically ran up to Jean.
Just as he grabbed her arms, she wilted and passed out in his embrace.
Edgar trembled uncontrollably.
Looking at the unconscious and teary Jean in his arms, he felt a pierce through his heart.
“haw! There was a lump in his throat.
His mind was a fluff.
He hurriedly carried Jean back into the car and immediately drove her back to Eyer Residence.
While on their way to Eyer Residence, Edgar succinctly instructed Miles over a phone call, "Send the best doctor over!"
