Nothing Is Impenetrable
“No.” Jean denied it immediately. She did not want to drag Ben into this. It was hard to tell whether
Edgar believed her. He looked deep into her eyes for a moment before rolling up the window and
leaving.
Jean stood still for a while before gradually heading upstairs. Her mind kept pondering on the same
matter. Since Edgar knew I was going to cause trouble, why didn’t he stop me?
Jean thought about it the whole night and finally figured it out. In my rashness to punish the two
directors, I have also helped Edgar to stop them from obstructing him.
That devious b*stard. Meanwhile, in Royden Tower, Miles completed the investigation and reported to
Edgar confidently, “Mr. Royden, we have upgraded the security of this company and dealt with all weak
spots. Now, not even a fly can get in without our notice.”
Edgar raised his eyebrows but did not say anything. At the same time, Mr. Blanc and Mr. Jameson sat
on the couch in the office. They had been called to the office soon after their discharge from the
hospital.
Both could not help but feel anxious. “Mr. Royden, we are the victims in this matter. You must punish
her for us.”
Edgar turned to look at them. “I’ve already told you before. You are not to get involved in this matter.”
“But Jean is challenging Royden Group’s reputation.” Mr. Jameson finally said something after holding
back for the whole day.
At the same time, the two directors finally understood something. It turned out the rumors were true.
Edgar still cared about his ex-wife and would never take action against Jean for what she had done.
Thus, the room turned unbearably awkward. Edgar had a stern expression since the directors came in.
“If you did not insist on opposing the transfer of Garrison Group to her, this would never have
happened. You should thank the public relations department for containing this. Otherwise, the public
would have found out about the incident and laughed at us.”
He turned his sharp gaze on them, emanating a suffocating sense of threat. “I have warned you since
early on not to get involved.” The two directors looked down and felt ashamed.
They had gathered their business connections to exert pressure on Garrison Group and caused
discussion in the media, hoping to force Edgar to retract the transfer. It turned out Edgar had long seen
through their plans.
Even if Jean did not cause today’s incident, Edgar would still severely punish them. Thus, given a
choice of punishment by Jean or Edgar, they would rather choose food poisoning by Jean.
If Edgar was the one who punished them, they fear they would not be alive at this moment. “Mr.
Royden, we won’t mention this matter again and will stop pursuing it.” Mr. Jameson and Mr. Blanc
promised fearfully before supporting each other out of the office.
They looked as if they were escaping from a disaster. Miles asked, “Mr. Royden, should I assign
someone to keep watch on them?”
“No, that’s unnecessary.”
I don’t have time to waste on those fools. Nathan had heard about the commotion at Royden Group
and came to check it out. He was probably the only person who dared to tease Edgar in his office.
“Your ex-wife is incredible. She manages to sneak…”
“Have you said enough?”
Edgar narrowed his eyes in annoyance. Nathan retracted his grin and said, “I came here to discuss a
matter with you. The Pillars Summit is the day after tomorrow. Will you be willing to let go of your
company’s land in the west of the city?”
“No.”
Edgar did not even pause to think.
However, Nathan remained calm as if he had expected this response. He handed Edgar a stack of
documents and said, “What if Jean wants it? Are you willing to give it to her?”
Edgar did not say anything but took the documents from Nathan.
His eyes turned cold as he flipped through them. He called Miles over immediately.
No matter how tightly information is kept, no secrets can be kept forever.
Jean noticed the added security of Royden Tower from afar and smirked. Even though I accidentally
helped Edgar, I still managed to cause a stir in Royden Group.
Suddenly, someone blocked her way as she was about to leave.
“Ms. Eyer, my boss would like to see you.”
“I don’t know your boss.”
Jean frowned and wondered if she had been too careless recently that someone had targeted her. She
took a step back to escape.
However, the person seemed to expect that and immediately stepped forward to grab her.
“Please come this way, Ms. Eyer.”
Thus, Jean had no choice but to follow him to a café near Eyer Group.
She sensed something before walking in.
Then, she noticed the man in the café and frowned. She glanced around, trying to find another person.
“Don’t be nervous, Ms. Eyer. Please have a seat.” Edbert smiled and looked at her kindly.
However, Jean remained expressionless and regarded Edbert warily. After all, he was someone from
Royden Group and was Edgar’s uncle.
“We were once family, so I understand you better than those people. I know you only wish to teach
them a lesson and did not intend to cause any harm.”
Edbert poured Jean a cup of tea as he spoke.
The fragrance of the tea and the classical music playing in the café gradually calmed Jean down.
Edbert took a sip of tea and pushed an invitation before Jean.
“To tell you the truth, I am in support of returning the company to you. After all, it was your father’s
lifelong work. Anyway, please accept this invitation even though it is a little late.”
Jean saw that it was an invitation to the Pillars Summit.
It was a business summit organized once every five years where top businesses from the surrounding
four cities would gather. However, due to Eyer Group’s current debt situation, it was not qualified to
attend this summit.
Jean was not a greedy person.
She did not accept the invitation but asked, “Why are you helping me?’
Helping me means going against Edgar, his blood-related nephew.
Furthermore, I am opposing Royden Group. No matter how I see it, Edbert has no reason to help me.
“I have lived through many years and think things differently from you young people. From what I see, it
is always better to give way than to fight head-on. It would comfort me immensely if you and Edgar
could reconcile.” Edbert stood up after saying that. “You should give the tea a taste. It is good.”
Jean watched Edbert walk away before opening the invitation envelope.
Should I go?
Her hesitation was not due to the immenseness of the event but because the opportunity came from
the Royden family. She feared she would face mockery if she accepted the invitation.
However, if she attended the summit, it would give her a chance to find better opportunities to build up
the Eyer Group. That was what Jean needed the most.
In the end, Jean gritted her teeth and put the invitation in her pocket.
I have nothing more to lose anyway.
Two days later, at the morning session of the Pillars Summit.
Jean got out of the taxi and looked at the formal venue. There were many luxury cars parked all
around, and all the attendees were prominent members of the business world.
Jean looked at the black jeans and the short trench coat on her body and felt out of place.
It was no wonder that people kept giving her strange glances.
Jean took a deep breath to calm herself. Since I am here, I must not back down now.
“Isn’t that Edgar Royden’s ex-wife? She has no right to attend this event!”
