Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 185

Chapter 185 Daughter-in-law of the Ludwig Family Jean heard more unkind discussions about her. "I heard she recently stayed with Edgar for a few days. How can there be such a shameless person?"Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Does this mean Edgar is the one who brought her here?"

"No way!" "She probably came here herself to get close to Edgar. What a joke!" Jean went to the reception counter at the entrance. The staff asked, "What is your company name?"

"Eyer Group." Jean answered firmly with determination in her eyes. I do not need to explain anything to these people. All I need to do is to tell everyone here that Eyer Group shall rise again!

However, that task was harder than she imagined. After registration, she took her number tag and headed toward the hall. However, someone blocked her way.

"It seems Pillars Summit has such low admission criteria these days. How can they simply let any lowly scum enter here? Eyer Group? Ha, didn't this company go bankrupt two years ago due to tax evasion? Even the previous owner is dead. How did it suddenly pop up here?"

"Tyler, you should watch what you say. She might have powerful support that we don't know of. After all, she was in prison."

"You're right..."

Mr. Sans continued to look at Jean disdainfully.

His gaze was full of mockery.

This man was Ally's elder brother, Tyler Sans. He had heard from Ally that Jean was the one who ruined the marriage alliance between the Sans and Ludwig family.

Thus, he was determined to shame Jean today.

Unfortunately for him, Jean was not like the wealthy ladies he knew. She neither cowered as they thought she would nor showed any anger. Instead, she glanced at him coldly and replied in an even tone, "I also did not expect an attendee of the Pillars Summit to speak worst than a barbarian."

"Who are you calling a barbarian?"

"I believe that person would know it himself."

The surrounding turned quiet. Still, there was not a hint of hesitation in Jean's eyes.

"Is this something a young lady should say?" People began to whisper amongst themselves.

However, they could not deny Jean's response had shut Tyler and those with him.

Two men stood watching in the distance.

"Is it okay to do nothing?" Nathan whispered, "Tyler Sans is here on behalf of Sans Group. He is surrounded by people who wish to align with the Sans family. They are always up to no good when they gather."

These men are a bunch of scoundrels who had some beef with Jean, and that beef concerned Ben.

Edgar's expression darkened as he responded coldly, "What does it have to do with me?"

Nathan smiled and nudged his arm. "Although you now say this, I'm sure you will say something to embarrass Tyler during the meeting to avenge Ms. Eyer."

Edgar could not deny that was what he planned to do, so he turned away.

Nathan suddenly noticed Tyler and his gang closing in on Jean. "Edgar, I think you shouldn't wait anymore..."

Edgar was already dashing toward Jean before Nathan could finish speaking. However, he stopped after a few steps.

It was because someone beat him to Jean and shielded Jean from Tyler and his gang.

Edgar could not help but frown. I am a step too late.

He clenched his fists under his cuffs. At the same time, his handsome face turned forlorn.

"Ben?"

Jean looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure before her realization hit her.

From what she could remember, Ben rarely wore suits. This time, he wore a formal suit and even changed his hairstyle.

He no longer seemed like a happy-go-lucky boy but a calm and mature man.

"Let's talk later."

Ben ignored the crowd watching them and held Jean's hand.

"Tyler, how dare you bully my people?" Ben said through gritted teeth and narrowed his eyes intimidatingly.

"Mr. Ludwig..."

The young men standing with Tyler began to hesitate. They exchanged glances and retreated from Ben. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org After all, their families were nothing compared to the prominence of the Ludwig family. Furthermore, these men knew Ben's fearsome nickname.

No one can stop him when he goes insane. It's better to avoid angering him.

Tyler glanced left and right before gritting his teeth and charging ahead.

"I admit I was bullying her, so what are you going to do?" Tyler smirked and continued, "Who is she to you? Why are you so protective of her? The Pillars Summit is about to begin. If you hit me, do you think they will still allow you in?"

He did not believe Ben would fight him before so many people for Jean's sake.

"Come and fight me then. Worst comes to worst, no one gets to go in." Ben challenged with a smirk.

Jean began to worry.

"Ben, forget it." Jean tugged his shirt from behind. "Don't bother with this kind of people."

"Scram! You have no right to speak here!" Tyler yelled at Jean.

In the next second, Ben grabbed Tyler by his shirt.

Tyler panicked and began mumbling, "Mr. Ludwig, people are all watching you. I will sue you if you hit me..."

"Sans Group is competing for the joint development right to the Royden Group's land, isn't it?" Ben lowered his voice so that only Tyler could hear.

He said a few more things to Tyler, causing Tyler to turn pale. By the time Ben let go, Tyler had staggered back a few steps.

Then, Ben turned around and held Jean's hand. "Let's go."

Jean nodded and followed him. "What did you tell him just now?"

Ben arched an eyebrow playfully but refused to tell Jean. Instead, he said, "Did you find me cool just now? I was suave, wasn't I?”

"Perhaps a bit, but you have now returned to normal again." Jean was amused by his playfulness and could not stop grinning.

Then, they entered the hall together.

Meanwhile, the crowd that gathered to watch the commotion had dispersed.

Nathan muttered thoughtfully, "I heard the Ludwig family had put Ben in charge of all their businesses.

"Brilliant?"

Edgar glanced at Nathan coldly.

"He's young, capable, and handsome.

Previously, a young lady from the Sans family threw herself at him.” NO Nathan raised his eyebrows. "I wonder if the Ludwig family will accept Jean."

Edgar's expression darkened instantly, and he walked into the hall at a faster pace.

He had a cold and intimidating aura around him. The staff immediately assigned him the front seat.

On the other hand, Jean's seat was at the back. Ben refused to go in front but chose to sit with her at the back.

Jean whispered, "You're not going in front?"

Ben shook his head. "Nope."

"But..."

"Have you had breakfast?” Ben tilted his head toward her. “You probably haven't brought some snacks for En you. Here, give me your hands."

Jean extended her hands and soon received a few cookies.

Ben blinked mysteriously and said, "I've prepared them just for you."

Jean was amused by his expression and thanked him with a smile.

They chatted cheerfully at the back. It was completely different from the somber atmosphere in the front row.

A few people began to whisper amongst themselves. "Is she going to become the Ludwig family's daughter-in-law?"
