Chapter 512

Jean laughed awkwardly before explaining, "My aunt just came back from abroad, so she doesn't really
understand Yorktown well.Sometimes, the way she interacts is also..."

Hugo did not interrupt her.He merely watched her as he listened attentively.

"So, I hope you don't mind.Let me get the bill this time."

After Jean finished speaking, she looked at him expectantly.

Huge saw her expression, but he didn't comment on it.

Instead, he said, "This cafe has pretty decent afternoon tea.Unfortunately, it's not available now"

Jean thought her little speech moments ago had taken effect, seeing how he changed the topic.

Suddenly, he spoke.

"We have discussed this before, but you rejected me firmly"

Hugo brought the subject up solemnly as her words left a deep impression on him.

"I haven't moved on from the trauma of my previous marriage.Aren't you the same as well? It would
hurt everyone involved if you have someone in your heart, yet you date another person."

Hugo leaned forward and continued thoughtfully, "! thought through your words, and I think you are
right"

He clasped his hands together before saying slowly, "But a lifetime is very long.I think it's fine to take
things one step at a time starting from now"



He finished his sentence nervously.

"If you reject me again before giving me a chance, it's unfair to both of us, isn't it?"

His reasons left a profound impact on her.She finally understood why Julia wanted her to meet Hugo.

Whether they would proceed to the next stage of the relationship was unknown, but it was enough that
she could see how he healed from his wounds.

After all, we all have to move on.

Running away from the problem is never a solution.

"When does the afternoon tea start?"

Jean turned toward the counter.

"At four.We still have some time.The art parlor upstairs is having a fair.Are you interested, Ms.Eyer?"

He took two tickets out of his pocket.

Jean was momentarily stunned before she joked, "If I reject your invitation, or if I didn't even appear
today, what would you have done with these tickets?"

"I didn't think of that problem."

He stood up and looked at her.

"Perhaps I'm similar to Mr.Royden in some aspects — I don't like to envision myself losing."

He didn't avoid mentioning Edgar at all.



When Edgar arrived, Julia was the only person in the café.She was sipping a cup of coffee with some
desserts in front of her.She wore a pair of Bluetooth earphones and watched her idol's performance like
she was a teenage girl.

"He's so cool!"

Edgar took a deep breath to prepare himself for a scolding.

Then, he walked over.

"Aunt Julia, Jean—"

"Who's your aunt?"

Julia replied hostilely and frowned at him.

"Are we related?"

After a pause, Edgar replied guiltily, "No"

He felt his eyelids throb slightly.

"Ms.Horton, I just want to ask Jean's whereabouts."

"I have no clue."

She shrugged.

"I'm not her nanny.How would I know where she is? Since you can find this place, I'm sure you can find
her!"

In that instant, he felt it was daunting to deal with Julia.



Though he made himself very clear, she gave him vague answers.

People around their table started noticing their conversation, so he sat down.

"Jean handed her company to us.There are some issues in the handover process, he said patiently.

"I see," Julia replied coldly.

"If it's not done well, it might affect Eyer Group's future."

Julia blinked and nodded nonchalantly.

With a fork in her hand, she tried to reach the furthest plate from her.

"A company that should have gone bankrupt is not worth the effort — just like men.There are dozens of
rich, handsome, and thoughtful men.Who do you think you are to stand out among them, seeing how
unobservant you are?"

Julia stretched her hand again but could not reach the plate.

Finally, Edgar noticed and quickly passed the plate over.

Julia looked at him and placed her fork down.

"Unfortunately, it's too late now.I'm not in the mood to eat anymore."

Edgar paused mid-air, not knowing what to do.

"You have a pretty successful business, but you are still clueless about how relationships work.Right
now, Jean doesn't need to be with someone she has to grow with.She needs someone who can heal
her wounds"



She got up and smiled at him.

"Though I waited for you slightly, you're not too late.If you still want to win her back, let me remind you
— forcing her will never work."

With that, she left.

Edgar frowned and sighed before leaving.

When he met Nathan in the evening, he seemed dejected and hopeless.

Looking at the empty bottles in front of him, he asked, "You've already drunk so much?"

Edgar lifted his head and smiled weakly.

"I don't have anything else to keep me occupied."

"You're so forlorn just because Jean went on a date."

Nathan couldn't understand why he was reacting this way.

Edgar didn't seem like his usual self at that moment.

The more Nathan spoke, the more Edgar drank.

Finally, Nathan had to forcefully drag him back.

That night, he heard Edgar mumble Jean's name several times.

The next morning, dark circles emerged under Nathan's eyes.



"I shouldn't have cared for you last night! If I were Jean's aunt, I would disapprove of you too!" he
grumbled.

As soon as Nathan finished speaking, Edgar glimpsed at his watch and washed up.

After that, he headed to the company immediately.

Throughout the entire process, he didn't say a word.

Worried about him, Nathan quickly followed him and witnessed how he got Royden Group up and
running again.

"To all the departments, please give me the resources list within three days.."

"Tell Gary if he makes one more mistake, he is dismissed."

"Tomorrow — no, this afternoon - I want the results: From the managers to the employees, everyone
perked up.

"Yes, Mr.Royden, we'll get it done now."

Their spirits lifted as they walked around the building.

Just a few days ago, the entire company seemed dejected.

In no time, the situation had taken a complete turn.

Just like that, the king of the business empire was back.
