Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 Mr. Royden Will Not See You

Jean finished recording her statement at the police station and sat dispirited in a chair. She had waited for two hours, but Edgar did not show up. Instead, it was his lawyer who came.

The lawyer put down his briefcase and sat opposite Jean before handing her a few documents. "Ms. Eyer, Mr. Royden said if you sign this divorce agreement immediately, he will gift you the apartment at Westlake Mount."

Although the lawyer spoke gently, he still kept a professional distance.

Jean felt heartbroken as she looked at the words 'Divorce Agreement' written in block letters on the document.

She suddenly laughed. Who would have known he would be this impatient to divorce?

The lawyer noticed Jean still hadn't touched the pen and took out a few more documents from his briefcase. He gave them to Jean and explained, "These documents contain detailed information on Mr. Royden and your properties. Both of you do not have shared properties. The apartment at Westlake Mount is a compassionate gift from Mr. Royden. Furthermore, this document shows Mr. Royen's equity split was last year. It means Eyer's Group's debt is your sole responsibility and not shared in this marriage. Therefore, Royden Group has no liability in this."

Then, the lawyer took out another series of documents listing shares, residential properties, credit cards, and so on. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Jean's heart sank. She finally realized it was all part of Edgar's plan. He had devised and calculated everything thoroughly.

Furthermore, every step of his plan was flawless.

One can't deny that he is intelligent. Otherwise, my father wouldn't have been impressed by his capabilities and arranged for me to marry him.

Despite his young age, Edgar managed to amass wealth for Royden Group and made it a leading company in Westburgh.

My father wanted to choose the best man for me. He saw Edgar as a courageous and handsome young man with an incredible mind for business. Within a few years, Edgar raised his family from bankruptcy and created his business empire.

Furthermore, he escaped unscathed after Eyer Group went bankrupt.

I wonder if dad ever expected this.

Jean shuddered in fear as she thought about Edgar's plan. At the same time, her heart sank.

Edgar did not even have to appear in person to divorce and ruin her. He made her struggle helplessly.

Jean clenched her fists and forced herself to calm down. Then, she placed the documents on the table and asked, "Where is Edgar?"

"Mr. Royden is busy accompanying his fiancée to select her wedding dress. He has given me full authority in all matters concerning divorce. Thus, you can talk to me if you have any questions."

"I only wish to meet Edgar. I'm even willing to forgo the apartment if he agrees to meet." Jean looked straight at the young lawyer, who was careful not to reveal Edgar's whereabouts.

The lawyer repeated emotionlessly. "I'm sorry, Ms. Eyer. Mr. Royden will not see you."

"Haha."

Jean chuckled as if everything was within her expectation. She closed the document folder and dug her nail into her palm. "In that case, I won't sign this divorce agreement. If he dares to marry Gigi, I will sue him for bigamy."

"Ms. Eyer!"

The lawyer planned to persuade Jean to sign. However, he could not bear to speak when he saw the grief and determination in her eyes.

"I believe Edgar will never marry Gigi unless the divorce is settled." Jean looked up calmly. "So, tell me where he is."

The lawyer considered before revealing the truth. "Mr. Royden will be at Luminance Club at seven o'clock tonight to meet with the president of Phoenix Properties. Once Mr. Royden finishes the negotiation, I will help you to arrange…"

However, Jean interrupted him. "No need. Some matters can only be resolved directly between him and me."
