Chapter 373

Not Willing to Compromise

Edgar’s brows wrinkled. He knew that Jean had always wanted to make up for the regret of not
studying abroad back then. She had been planning it some time ago as well.

But now, everything in Eyer Group was on the right track. The company needed someone to oversee
everything. She couldn’t leave. “This time is different. The school sent Ms. Eyer an invitation this time.”

When Miles said that, Edgar’s expression darkened in an instant. This wasn’t good.

When Jean wanted to study abroad back then, she had given it up to marry him and be a full-time
housewife. But now, her dream school offered an olive branch. Perhaps she would be moved by it.
After all, Eyer Group was in fragments now, if…

A bold thought appeared in his mind. “Miles, find a way to inquire discreetly about what’s happening.
Tell me at once if there are any changes.”

Miles nodded and shut the door. He stood at the door and sighed in silence. Was it okay for his boss to
lock himself up in the room?

The next morning, everyone gathered in the hotel lobby. A manager from BK Group was taking them to
visit a sea of flowers, which was the latest tourism project that their company had invested in.

“It’s around an hour’s drive, and the roads are hilly. Four to a car, everyone needs to get in a car…”

After the car keys were distributed, Jean waited outside, but she never thought that she would be in the
same car as Edgar and Hugo.

Everyone’s gaze was focused on the three of them.



Jean looked at the two aloof men in front of her and immediately asked, “Can I switch to a different
car?”

Everyone looked away from them. Who had the nerve to switch with her?

The two of them were clearly interested in Jean. If anyone agreed to switch with Jean, they would be
offending two big shots on the spot.

“You drive.”

“You drive.”

The two of them spoke at almost the same time.

The car keys were in Edgar’s hands.

Hugo immediately walked to the passenger’s side and got into the car.

Miles stood not far away from the entrance, and he couldn’t help but walk over. “Do you want me to
drive, Mr. Royden?”

“Stay back. There are important things for you to do.”

Miles immediately understood Edgar’s expression. “Don’t worry, Mr. Royden. I will get to the bottom of
it.”

Seeing the cars leave, Miles walked slowly and silently to Rachel’s side. “What plans do you have, Ms.
Sander?”

“Me? I’m going back to the room to rest,” Rachel said as she turned and walked into the elevator.

“Ah, with such a good break, why don’t we walk around?” Miles ran and caught up with her at once.



At that moment, in the car, Edgar was driving while Hugo and Jean were talking about their partnership
in the backseat.

“That highly-rated project is pretty good, also…”

“Pretty good?” Edgar smiled lightly. “Your worldview is too narrow, Mr. Mason. Projects of that level
shouldn’t even be mentioned.”

Hugo’s eyes swayed a little. He nodded and said, “That makes sense, Mr. Royden.”

No matter how Edgar retorted, Hugo always seemed very calm and steady.

After a few rounds, Edgar ‘lost’ for the first time.

When the car arrived at the destination, his expression was unbelievably dark. He didn’t want to stay
for a moment longer. He pushed the car door open and got out.

The moment the car door was shut, Jean sighed a little.

Hugo, who was looking at her, happened to witness it. The man said gently, “Ms. Eyer, there’s
something that I’ve hesitated to say for a long time.”

“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Mason, but I think nothing you say can solve my problems.”

Hugo looked at her and his thin lips finally closed. “Sometimes, regret hurts the most.”

Jean understood it fully well.

But she really couldn’t find any reason to change her mind. She wasn’t dumb, and she could see all of
Edgar’s actions, but she had no way to accept them.

She could never accept it.



“Thank you for your advice, Mr. Mason, but maybe I have no other way.”

Jean smiled bitterly before she opened the car door and got out.

She had to make her decision as soon as possible, but the truth of the matter was that she only
seemed to have one choice left.

That man would never understand such helplessness.

As they were visiting the project site, Jean located BK Group’s vice president, Mr. Brady, and
expressed how apologetic and regretful she felt. She checked out of the hotel that night and got on a
flight back.

Rachel would participate in the remaining conference schedules on her behalf.

As she was speaking with Mr. Brady, she came to find out that Eyer Group’s application was denied.

Edgar had brought Eyer Group up to them in private, which was why she had the opportunity to attend
the conference.

As Jean sat in the plane cabin, her complicated feelings grew stronger.

Edgar, everything that you’re doing now is your way of apologizing, but there’s no way to fill the gaps
left by the scars.

Whether he wanted to admit or deny it, they couldn’t go back to the past.

When Edgar found out about it, Jean’s plane was just about to land.

The man’s expression grew colder. His heart which had been filled with hope, fell into an all-time low.



“Mr. Royden, Ms. Eyer didn’t leave to avoid you. Perhaps something happened in Eyer Group.” Miles
could only comfort his boss in such a manner.

Edgar looked at the sea outside his window. He clenched his fist tightly, and there was a slight crack.

He wasn’t the type of person who insisted on being in hot pursuit.

But since this was what she wanted, he would make it happen.

“Miles, what is on the schedule for the conference tomorrow?”

Miles was startled. He was prepared to book flight tickets for Edgar. Hearing what Edgar said, his
reactions were a little slow before he answered, “Discussion on the investment direction for the first half
of next year.”

“Alright. You may get off work.”

…

In the living room of Reece Residence, Edbert looked at the father and daughter in front of him, and he
smiled deeply. “You don’t have to be so worried. Although the direction of Royden Group isn’t too clear
at the moment, I’m sure that Edgar won’t make a move toward Reece Group at will.”

“Really?”

Sam wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. “I… I thought that he found out about everything at the
time…”

He stopped and looked at Gigi. “Go to your room. We have important business to discuss.”

Gigi nodded. “I’ll be going up now, Uncle Edbert.”



She had always called Edbert as such. It was a force of habit by now.

But today, Gigi’s heart had been thumping. She felt that Edbert looked at her strangely today. She
opened her door and immediately closed it.

But she didn’t shut it tightly. She left a little crack.

She could faintly hear voices from the living room.

She had to plan her life. Over the past couple of days, she realized that her dad had never treated her
like a pearl in his palm.

He just wanted to make use of her to leech on other companies.

Now that Edgar didn’t want her and Andy couldn’t be relied on, in the future…

Gigi’s hands gripped the side of the door. She was sad that such a heartless dad existed.

But a voice from the living room stupefied her completely.
