Chapter 452

Edbert's kind demeanor sent a chill down her spine.He was responsible for the scheme.He conspired
with Sam and Andy and even used the business with Pinnacle Group to threaten Edgar.

Yet, he acted as though nothing had happened.He's so scheming and manipulative that it's terrifying.

She frowned at him defensively.

Edbert's smile froze as he stepped backward to let them walk out of the elevator first.

"I came here because I have nothing much to do.I didn't expect you guys to be here, though.Let me
know if you need any help."

"Aren't you-"

Jean could not stop herself.

Edgar quickly held her hand.

"Thanks, Uncle Edbert.We have to clear up the rumors about us.The reporters will be arriving in the
afternoon."

While he was speaking, he slowly brought Jean behind his back.This distance is perfect.This way,
Edbert and George can't touch Jean.

"I see.We'll be going now.Alas, once you get older, you simply don't have the same energy"

Edbert waved at them.

"Off you go, then."



As soon as the elevator door closed behind them, Edgar instructed, "Miles, let the board of directors
know that the meeting later is canceled.Everyone from the public relations department has to stay back
and work overtime.Let them know that I want to focus on the news regarding Pinnacle Group.

"Noted, Mr.Royden."

With that, Miles quickly entered the secretarial department office.Then, Edgar brought Jean into his
office and pulled down the blinds.

"Take a seat.I need to-"

Before he could finish his sentence, he received a call.

"Just carry on with work"

She quietly walked to the side.

The decor in his office had not changed a bit.It was minimalistic with gray tones, making him seem
aloof and distant.

The same pictures were shown in his photo frames — with Susan and his parents.She zoned out for a
moment there.

I never tried to know more about his life, did I? Since the accident, what has he been through, and how
much has he suffered to achieve his success today? Sitting at his desk, Edgar spoke fluently in another
language to the CEO of another company.

He spoke firmly at the perfect speed, giving an air of reliability.

Anyone would easily be influenced by him.



As sunlight shone at him through the windows, his side profile and jawline seemed even more
attractive.

Jean retracted her gaze and walked out of the room.

Since Edgar was busy working, it was inappropriate for her to be there.

After walking out of the room, she noticed that the corridor was quiet.

Everyone from the secretarial department was busy at their desks.

Hence, her footsteps seemed loud.

"I think the pantry is here."

She looked at the door sign, but something else in the printing room caught her eye.

"Quick!" someone said furtively.

"Alright, alright.Stop rushing me.Mr.Royden has too many contracts.We have to make sure that we got
everything"

Are they stealing the documents? Jean wanted to leave, but as soon as she started moving, she
knocked into someone.It was George, the secretary with Edbert from moments ago.He was much taller
than Jean.He sneered at her maliciously through his golden-rimmed glasses.He covered her mouth
and pulled her into the storeroom behind them.

"Be a good girl and stay still, Ms.Eyer."

With that, he took a damp handkerchief and covered her nose.

In a few seconds, she lost consciousness.He wiped his hands in disgust.



"If you had given in and died on the cruise, you would have saved me a lot of trouble-"

He walked out, shutting the door behind him and locking it from the outside.

The two people in the printing room left through the fire exit — this was all Edbert's arrangement.

"Everything is in order.It will take at least twenty-four hours for her to regain consciousness."

George shot a glance at the secretarial department before walking quickly into the fire exit.

On the other end, Edbert coughed heavily in his car.

The pain in his chest made it difficult for him to breathe.

"To the airport.The Rothschild family is almost here.I need to put the arrangements in place before
Edgar does."

Making Jean disappear was just a part of his plan.He had to keep Edgar busy before proceeding with
the next step.

An hour later, the business representatives of Rothschild Group arrived.

One of them was a blonde woman with blue eyes.She wore a pink dress and held a branded suitcase.

However, when she saw Edbert, she turned around and frowned.

"What's going on? I heard that the president of the company is very good-looking"

Behind her, Charles shrugged in his sunglasses and whistled as he walked past her.He had just woken
up not long ago.

"Behave well to keep your identity a secret."



The blonde woman, Sara, bit her lips and tried to keep up with her brother, Charles.

Like Charles, she was one of the people who would inherit Rothschild Group.

However, she seldom took part in the business because she was a woman.

Usually, she would just do her work at the company.

This time around, seeing how interested Charles was with Royden Group, she insisted on tagging
along.

"Welcome! Please get into the car.Your hotel is already booked; Edbert greeted warmly.From their age,
he was definitely their senior.I wouldn't have sweated over this matter if I knew the Rothschild was
sending two brats.Even if they collaborate with Edgar, they can't do anything to turn the tide
around.Edbert narrowed his eyes.I'm too sensitive and careful.

Sara munched on chewing gum.

"There's nothing fun at the hotel.Aren't you going to show us around?" she asked flatly.

Standing beside them, George frowned when he heard her tone, but Edbert shot him a look of warning.

"Of course.But first, you need to get in the car"

Edbert gave them his car while he sat in the car behind them.

Sara smiled nonchalantly and got into the car.

Charles, however, looked in Edbert's direction with a murderous glint in his blue eyes.

"Hey Charles, get in the car! Didn't you say you have a friend here? Let's visit her! Oh, and I want to
see how good-looking the president of this group is!"



Charles returned to his senses and opened the door with a smile.

"He wouldn't be interested in a girl like you."

"Why not? I'm not a girl anymore!"

Sara snorted in protest.

As Charles looked out the windows, a beautiful woman appeared in his mind.A man who once loved
such a woman will not fall for anyone else.
