Chapter 363

Turning Down a Partnership with Royden Group

After Mr. Gibson heard it, he nodded firmly at once. “You’re right, Miles. We can’t go back without
meeting Ms. Eyer.”

Even if Jean turned down a partnership with Royden Group to their face, they could still report it.

But if they didn’t meet Jean in person, the only path left for them would be to resign.

Miles said slowly, “Be prepared.”

They waited for seven hours.

In between, Rachel ordered takeout twice for the employees. Seeing that the two of them hadn’t left,
she wrinkled her brows and said, “I’ve never seen anyone like you. How much clearer do I have to
make myself?”

On top of that, Jean had told her in the morning that she had turned down the collaborative project with
Royden Group. Why were those from Royden Group still lingering around and not leaving?

“Rachel, who’s at the entrance?” An employee asked curiously.

“No one. Let’s work. We might need to work overtime at night.”

It was Eyer Group’s busiest day, but Miles insisted on waiting outside. The sky turned dark
unknowingly.

As the employees left work in succession, Miles was so tired that he was about to fall asleep.

When he saw Jean, he stood up at once. “Ms. Eyer!”



Jean was startled. “Why are you still here?”

Rachel had told her about it, and she had instructed Rachel to give them an answer.

The elevator doors opened, and a tall, cold figure rushed at her.

The keys in Jean’s hands were snatched away.

“You’re so busy, Ms. Eyer.”

The frown on Jean’s face deepened. “You…”

Edgar pulled her in and locked the door.

Mr. Gibson’s eyes lit up at once. “Miles, we won’t get fired, right?”

“I can’t say.”

The employees had already left work. Jean was pinned by Edgar against an office desk behind her,
and his cold eyes looked straight at her.

“I’ve informed those from your company to cancel our partnership.”

“Why?”

It was as though he could never get an answer from her.

Jean was startled. “Do I still need a reason? It’s not like the whole world is looking forward to working
with Royden Group, I don’t…”

Before she could finish, the man’s expression darkened.

He loosened his grip in that instant. At that moment, Jean felt the pressure in front of her disappear.



But he was still standing in front of her.

Jean felt defeated by him.

“I’ve decided to invest in projects by other companies. I don’t want to carry out projects on my own.”

Hearing it, the wrinkle in Edgar’s brows tightened.

It was evident that he didn’t quite believe her.

Jean’s expression was increasingly calm. “Everything else is a trade secret. I can’t say anymore. After
all, Eyer Group and Royden Group are going to be rivals in the future.”

He should have heard her. She also knew full well what she was doing.

“There are five investment companies under the banner of Eyer Group. Any one of them is bigger than
Eyer Group in size and strength. Choosing such a path is unwise.”

Jean had done her market research, and she understood Royden Group’s strength.

What Edgar said was the truth. He had taken the initiative to leave out impartial causes like the
company’s reputation and image, as well as the investment experience within an industry so that it
would cause less of a blow to her.

These were all necessary conditions to survive.

Jean knew how difficult it was, so she didn’t want to argue and disagree with him. She wanted to put
more energy into her upcoming work.

“If you understand what I mean, Mr. Royden, please leave. I’m exhausted right now.” Jean carried her
bag and walked out.



Edgar followed her. “It’s not too late to stop before you start.”

Jean took a few steps forward. Only the two of them were left in the empty corridor.

His tone wasn’t too solemn, and he wasn’t ridiculing Jean for not being capable enough. He meant it
implicitly. It made her angry when she heard it.

“Not everyone is born to succeed. Can’t I just give it a go?” Jean turned and looked into the man’s
eyes. “Or are you saying that you think Eyer Group can only go further with your help? But that’s not
what I wish to see. I don’t hope for Eyer Group to become a puppet company that can be controlled by
Royden Group at will.”

Perhaps many people would dream and hope to cling to Royden Group, but it was clear that Jean
wasn’t one of them. She didn’t want to use those ways to survive.

It was torture to both her and Edgar.

“Do you think you can succeed?” The man took one step forward. His voice was deep, and there was a
different type of pressure to it. “Your company can only go further by working with Royden Group. This
isn’t about how difficult it is. It’s a choice.”

Jean’s heart tightened. She had to admit that he was right.

Challenging absolute power and capital was like going down a dead end.

Eyer Group had created a position for themselves after much difficulty. But maybe it would come to an
end.

And she wouldn’t have the opportunity to make a comeback.

But how would she know that it wouldn’t work if she didn’t try?



Jean held her bag tightly. “Then I choose not to get my revenge on you. I wish for everything in the past
to end here. I want to give both of us a way out.”

She finally felt relieved when she said it aloud.

Since she had decided to keep all the secrets in her heart and not be bound by the hatred between the
two of them, she had to resolutely and decisively bid goodbye to the past so that she could live a better
life.

Perhaps that was what her dad thought when he approved of the marriage between her and Edgar
back then.

She hoped that everything was a coincidence.

The man’s eyes sank at once. His fingers tightened slowly.

How could she say such things without much thought? It was as though she wanted to wipe him out of
her life completely. This made Edgar feel very uncomfortable.

His voice went hoarse. He wanted to say something to stop her.

But the elevator doors shut. Jean didn’t look at him. She disappeared without a trace before his eyes.

When he got into another elevator and went down, there wasn’t a trace of Jean’s figure on the street.
The night was boundless.

The coldness between the man’s brows grew stronger.

“Mr. Royden, Ms. Eyer should have left. Take a look at tonight’s news.”

Jean was a rising star in the design and business world. She was invited to participate in a talk show
on the day after tomorrow.



“Let’s go.”

Edgar opened the car door and the coldness in his eyes intensified.

Where did the woman, who kept wishing for him to die in front of her, go?

He would rather Jean keep in mind their animosity. At least then, she wouldn’t throw him to one side.

Now, he couldn’t approach her life at all. She kept him at the edges. This made him feel so dejected
that he was about to go crazy.

At that time, Jean peeked out from a side door of the ground floor of the Eyer Group building. Seeing
Edgar’s car turn around the corner, she sighed slowly. She finally said what she had wanted to.
