Chapter 348

Unfathomable Thoughts

Jean left Royden Group. She received a call from Joey saying she wanted to talk to Jean privately.
Jean agreed. Joey cried when Jean appeared. “Jean, can I ask a favor? Please don’t tell anyone I went
to that club, okay?”

Joey pleaded in her puny voice and making Jean feel uneasy. “I won’t tell anyone. It’s your private life.”
Jean responded calmly. Initially, she wanted Joey to let her tag along to the club. Jean hadn’t thought
of blackmailing her at all.

Hearing Jean’s promise, Joey could finally breathe a sigh of relief. “Thank you. You’re a good person,
just like your father.”

Joey said while wiping the tears away from her cheeks, “By the way, just let me know if you need any
help in favor of the joint venture.”

Jean responded with a smile. Joey worked for Ranford International, and Jean had never thought of
roping in her help. Joey told her a lot about the project, but Jean wasn’t paying attention.

“Let’s talk again next time.” Jean was exhausted. Her mind was fuzzy, and her eyes were heavy. All
she wanted to do now was to go home. “Sure, I’ll get a cab for you then.”

Joey made sure Jean was driven away in the cab; then only she dared to call Serena. “I’ve met with
Jean, but she was indifferent. Do you think she knows about our plan?”

Serena’s plan was to kick Eyer Group out of the joint venture so she could reap the profit alone. It was
a joint contract signed by her and Jean with the exclusion of Royden Group in the legal contract.

All she needed was to catch Eyer Group’s Achilles heel and use it as lawsuit leverage over Eyer
Group.



But Jean was way more vigilant than she expected.

“Let’s wait and see.”

Serena hung up the call and then looked at Sam sitting in front of her. She said with a smile, “Pardon,
Mr. Reece. It’s a busy day for me. Let’s carry on with our discussion.”

…

Jean took a long nap when she got home. By the time she woke up, it was late in the evening and she
only realized missed calls from Ben then.

She called back.

“Jeannie, we’ve got a problem. I’ll go to your house and tell you about it.”

Jean immediately sobered up after hearing Ben’s urgent tone.

Soon, Ben’s striking red sports car stopped in front of Eyer Residence.

“Andy returned to Royden Group and demanded the board of directors stop all collaboration with Eyer
Group.”

Ben had heard the news at a networking function with several directors of different companies and
quickly came to inform Jean.

“I think Edgar is being too gracious to Andy. He shouldn’t have let Andy go back to Royden Group after
he committed such an execrable mistake. To make matters worse, Edgar still let him resume his
position as vice president.”

Jean didn’t react.



“Why are you so quiet?”

She poured a glass of water, gave it to him, and said lightly, “Edgar chose to live in anguish for so
many years just because he wanted to take revenge on my family. Do you think he will pardon
someone who wanted him dead?”

Only then did Ben realize, “You mean… this is Edgar’s ploy against Andy?”

“Maybe.”

Jean thought for a while and continued, “Won’t you want to uproot every single one of Andy’s
accomplices in the company if you were Edgar?”

Ben said affirmatively, “Absolutely! To spare all future troubles!”

“So, he must have had someone looking into Andy’s tail and collecting evidence right now.” Jean
deduced, “Edgar must have thought of this if we did.”

“And so?” Ben looked at her expression and caught on a hunch, “Hel* no, Jeannie!”

“I haven’t even said anything. Why are you so quick to object to me?” Jean cushioned her chin with her
palm slyly and chuckled.

“I may not know about other people. But you, I most definitely know what and who you are.”

Ben put down the cup and warned solemnly, “No way. Don’t you even think of teaming up with
someone like Andy.”

Ben busted Jean’s intention.

She burrowed and explained, “My plan is to use him. That’s all.”



“That’s a no-no, too. He’s too cunning, and you may get into trouble. I can’t let you take the risk.” Ben
was insistent, “You don’t have to worry about anything else. I came here to tell you this to let you be
prepared mentally. But I will find a way to talk to Edgar.”

Ben was willing to do anything for Jean.

Moreover, it was just a negotiation with Edgar. Even if it meant he had to share profits with Royden
Group, he wouldn’t hesitate to say yes too.

Jean pursed her lips in mockery, “Then, be my guest, President Ludwig.”

Her mockery alleviated the tension in the air.

Ben sighed. He took out a small box from his bag, “I really have no idea how to deal with you. Take
this.”

“What is this?”

Jean opened the box, and her gaze came to a still.

It was one of the jewelry the Eyer family had auctioned out. Her mother loved it so much, and it was
sold off at a high price.

The Eyer family wouldn’t have had to resort to selling off these heirlooms if it wasn’t for their dire
financial state.

Suddenly, sorrow tugged her heart string.

“My mother asked me to pass this to you. She said to return it to its rightful owner.” Ben explained,
“After all, she has tons of jewelry, and doesn’t mind giving away a piece of her possession.”



Jean swallowed her gratitude and desolation. With her teary eyes, she said, “Ben, please return this to
Mrs. Ludwig. I am already gratified to see it again, but this belongs to the Ludwig family now, and I can’t
just take someone else’s thing for nothing.”

“Jeannie, you…”

“Thought you always wanted me to go to your house? Come on. Let’s go. I’m starving and am up for a
scrumptious treat at your house.” Jean smiled and stuffed the jewelry box into Ben’s palm.

“Sure!”

Ben was on cloud nine and hurriedly went out to drive his car over.

That night, at the dining hall of Ludwig Residence.

Myer sat at the head of the dining table and was unhappy to see Ben bring Jean home.

But due to the special occasion and his esteem as the patriarch of the family, he refrained from making
a fuss about it.

At the dinner table, there were visitors among them. Ben’s cousin and his wife, Colin and Leah, came
to visit Myer. Both of them exchanged a friendly greeting with Jean. Leah whispered to Colin when she
noticed Ben serving Jean attentively during dinner.

Colin made a face at Leah and warned, “Mind your own business.”

Leah mumbled resignedly and then continued with her dinner.

Farra was glad to see Jean. She cupped Jean’s hand in hers and talked non-stop, “Remember to come
here and visit me more often, alright? Let your employees handle the trivial matters. You should go
easy on yourself.”



Jean nodded and said yes.

“Shirley, go get the chicken tonic from the kitchen. Ah, forget it, I’ll go myself.” Farra reminded Jean
courteously, “Go ahead and eat first. Let me go and check if the chicken tonic is ready to serve. You
should try my cooking.”

“Don’t trouble yourself, Mrs. Ludwig.” Jean declined demurely.

But Farra beckoned to her to remain seated, “It’s okay. I’ll be back shortly.”

Meanwhile, Myer almost slipped and dropped his chopsticks.

“How’s the business going, Benny? Is the joint venture with Royden Group going well?”
