Mad Words
Edna gave Jean her personal contact details before they parted. “Opening a design company is a
serious matter. Moreover, the design field has been quite tumultuous recently. Ms. Eyer, if you have
any ideas on this, we can arrange a time to have a good chat in my office.”
Then, her smile grew even more apparent. “You won’t have to go through Mr. Ludwig to reach me next
time.” “Yes, Ms. Jadot. Let’s meet again.” The meeting came to a happy end.
Jean hardly ate anything but did not feel hungry at all. Instead, she felt energized. Moreover, the gloom
from being confined in Edgar’s villa disappeared.
“Jean, you seem different today.” Ben could not help but sigh. “I almost thought I had returned to the
time we were students. You were also like this then and cared for nothing else as soon as you got to
talk about design.”
Since the beginning, Ben was sure that Jean was meant to be a designer. Unfortunately, she chose to
get married and leave designing behind.
Jean chuckled and said, “Ben, if not for what I’ve been through, I would never be this determined to
fulfill my initial dream. I believe everything in life is fated with the aim to make us better people.”
Ben was glad that she could think of her life this way.
“By the way, I’ve secured the venue you asked for. The rest depends on you. I’ll be going to a branch
company for inspection and will probably be away for a few months.” Ben looked into Jean’s eyes. “I
hope you will have gained your footing by the time I return.”
By then, he would have been formally made the president of the Ludwig Group. He could secure his
position using his achievements in the past six months and fully take over the company from his father.
Once that happened, he would be able to confront Edgar head-on.
Furthermore, he would not allow anyone to bother Jean anymore.
Jean looked up and met his resolute gaze.
She suddenly smiled. “Yes, I’ll do my best.”
“About later, will you…”
“I’ll return to Edgar’s villa.” Jean picked up a fork and began to eat. “There are still unresolved matters
between us.”
Ben opened his mouth to say something but decided against it.
“Sure.”
Jean returned using the same way she escaped. The anxious maids heard running water from her
bathroom and rushed over.
“Ms. Eyer, you’re home?”
Jean blinked at them in confusion. “You’re mistaken. This is not my home.”
She walked into the bedroom and shut the maids outside the door.
The maids looked at each other. “What’s going on? Do we still need to inform Mr. Royden?”
Things were peaceful in Royden Group for the next two days. Although it did not leak any news to the
public, Jean managed to hear something from Edbert.
Andy would be officially leaving Royden Group.
Judging from Andy’s greed, he would bring a portion of the people with him as he left. Coincidentally,
Edgar would not be in the company for some time. Once Andy left, it would result in a severe blow to
Royden Group.
Then, Sam would join forces with a few small companies and snatch a chunk of resources from
Royden Group.
By the time Edgar returned, things would be in a dire state.
Jean held her phone and listened to Edbert. “Once Edgar returns, you should go on a holiday with him.
It’s best to go away for ten to fifteen days, understand?”
Jean chuckled.
“You think too highly of me. He has begun to suspect me. I think your chess piece has reached a dead
end.”
She gripped the tabletop with some force. Her gaze slowly turned vicious.
“That’s my problem to consider. You, as the chess piece, should do your part. If not, I believe you
understand the consequences better than I do.”
‘Clap.’
Edbert hung up right after saying that.
Jean heard the beeping noise and bit the corner of her lip.
She could not deny that Edbert was incredible in grasping everyone’s weakness in his hand. Sam
obeyed him, likely because Edbert had something detrimental to Sam in his hand. Sam was greedy
and never learned from his mistakes. Since he did not wish to go to prison, he had no choice but to
allow Edbert to control him.
It was even more so for Gigi.
As for Jean, she only wished to wipe out what happened in the past and bore its pain alone.
However, Jean could not understand something.
Based on Edbert’s abilities, he should be able to wrench Royden Group from Edgar’s hand during this
period. Why would he need to set up such schemes and waste so much time and effort?
What does he stand to gain in weakening Royden Group?
Unless Royden Group is not the only thing he wants!
Jean frowned. Suddenly, she heard car engine noises from the yard. He’s back so soon?
She immediately burrowed herself under the blanket and pretended to be asleep. Soon, she heard
Edgar’s footsteps coming upstairs and the creaking noises of the door being pushed.
She lay with her back facing the door and slowly shut her eyes.
Then, she heard him walking to the bed, standing beside it, and watching her for a while.
Jean’s heart thumped hard, but she calmed down and pretended to be sound asleep.
‘Clap.’
Edgar turned off the light and walked out quietly.
The moment the door closed, Jean vaguely heard him sigh.
She frowned even deeper and listened closely. There was no movement outside, even after a long
while. Jean wanted to turn around, but a pair of hands suddenly wrapped around her from behind.
“You…”
She finally realized Edgar was only pretending to leave. He was here all along.
“I was on a flight for more than ten hours and am exhausted.” He rested his head against her back as
he spoke. His voice was deep and intoxicating.
“Let me rest for a while, okay?”
From what Jean could remember, Edgar had never shown such an exhausted expression.
It stunned Jean that she did not push his hand away.
She and Edgar were only separated by blankets. It was a short distance between them
He just wanted to touch her.
It was early the following morning when Edgar woke up. He sensed the emptiness beside him and got
off the bed immediately. He could not find Jean in the living room or the kitchen.
He touched his hand to his forehead. His eyes filled with disappointment.
Jean had managed to trick all the maids and bodyguards in the villa into thinking that Edgar had
allowed her to leave. After all, they spent the night together in a room.
Edgar’s phone rang before he was fully awake.
“Edgar, did you see the news? Andy has made a move.”
Edgar turned on the TV.
Reporters surrounding Andy to interview him about his reason for leaving Royden Group.
“Mr. Shaw, you founded Royden Group with Mr. Royden. Do you feel sad about leaving Royden
Group?”
“Why are you leaving Royden Group? Is it because the previous matters caused distance between you
and Mr. Royden? Or did Mr. Royden make you leave?”
“I heard you were leaving to set up your own company and brought two of Royden Group’s elite teams
with you. Is that true?”
Andy wore sunglasses and smirked.
“Edgar and I have decided to part ways and not scheme against each other. I only took away what I
deserved. As for the future, we still don’t know who will be the more powerful between us.”
