Chapter 511


    Apart from Jean''s father, Julia was the only other family member he met.


    When they first got married, they didn’t have many rtives.


    Nevertheless, he treated Julia respectfully.


    On the contrary, she never once saw him as a guest.


    "So what?"


    She paused before continuing nonchntly, "In our current times, as long as she''s good enough, a


    man who truly loves her would not care about those.Are you discriminating against women?"


    "No, that''s not what I meant."


    "What do you mean, then?"


    Julia walked to Edgar.


    Suddenly, a look of realization came to her.


    "You''re not thinking of taking responsibility of the baby, are you?"

    Edgar nodded solemnly.


    "That''s my thought"


    "Forget that thought.First of all, I will never agree."


    Julia walked past him and poured a ss of water for herself, not interested in seeing his face.


    "The women in our family will never return to their ex-lovers.Since you guys h divorced, you are not


    suited for each other"


    She turned back to look at Edgar.


    "Jean''s taste is worse than her mother''s.At least Gary was decent’ Edgar faced her insults


    silently.However, it was not enough even after expressing her thoughts.


    Julia showed him the results of watching the news for the past few days.


    "Yourpany has had so many problemstely.As a man, you don''t even know how to run a


    company, yet you keep saying you want to be responsible for her and the baby.How are you going to


    do that? Are you going to make both of them suffer with you when the baby is born? She''s pregnant, so


    she might not be able to think straight, but you can''t be like her! Do you think it''s an easy thing to raise


    a kid?"


    Edgar was unable to retaliate to any of her points.He admitted to himself that he hadn''t thought it


    through.


    Hence, he left Eyer Residence in resignation after getting a scolding.


    Julia snorted before the French windows as she watched Edgar enter his car.


    "Your dad is better at taking defeats like this." Jean froze.


    "Did you disagree with my parents’ marriage as well?"


    Holding the ss, Julia shook her head.


    "Not really. I just didn''t want your mom to suffer in their rtionship. Yet.." she choked.


    In that instant, memories of the past flooded Julia''s mind.


    "We cannot go back to the past.Jean, remember this — life won''t give you many chances to redo


    things.Since you had the opportunity to leave once, it''s already a hint for you."


    She put down her ss and held Jean''s hand.


    "Running away from the problem is never a solution.Only putting it behind you and moving on will make


    you happy and free.Do you understand what I mean?"


    Jean seemed to understand certain parts, but Julia had already let go of her and walked up the stairs.


    "The renovation of this house is pretty good, but we need to retouch some parts.This time around, I''ll


    be with you longer."


    Julia seemed to take this ce as her own house.


    The stock prices of Royden Group were quite turbulent.


    When Miles brought all the department managers to report to Edgar, he looked calm.


    "Mr.Royden, the board of directors needs an immediate reply.How does this look?"


    Mr.Gibson wiped the sweat on his forehead anxiously.


    Miles interjected just in time, "Mr.Royden will need some time to think it through."


    However, Edgar suddenly asked, "What reply?"


    All the managers in the room froze for a second.


    Didn''t he hear anything we said just now? Edgar seemed to be in a daze.He finally returned to his


    senses after hearing Miles repeat the situation.


    "Do as you say." Mr.Gibson heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Thanks, Mr.Edgar."


    Leaving the project to one of their childpanies would reduce the stress on the parentpany and


    avert the media''s direction.


    It was a temporary relief to the attention and the pressure.


    When the news spread internally, Edbert received a few calls from the board of directorsining to


    him.


    "Mr.Edbert, you can''t let the situation remain like this.


    Thepany needs you to lead them, and we all support you to be the president again.


    It seems Edgar is in no mood to lead thepany"


    After that, a headline went on the trending page of Twitter — ‘Business tycoon Edgar Royden is trying


    everything to win his ex-wife''s heart, but failed miserably: In the car, Miles suggested, "Why don''t we


    take a break today? I''ll have a look at the situation at Eyer Residence.


    What if there are reporters, and Jean refuses to open the door for him? Being humiliated is one thing,


    but confirming the rumors is another.


    Nevertheless, Edgar had already made up his mind.


    "Things between us are not settled.I can''t back down now.Once the opportunity was lost, it would be


    forever gone.When they reached Eyer Residence, the front door was shut tightly.After ringing the


    doorbell for some time, the housekeeper told him, "Ms.Eyer has a blind date today."


    Miles was stunned after hearing that.Is Mr.Royden dumped before he even had a chance? He could


    feel the pressure from Edgar.


    "Should we track her down, Mr.Royden?"


    "Of course."


    With that, he got into the car, and Miles followed suit.


    "Nathan, check Jean''s location for me."


    Nathan sighed in exasperation.


    "Hey, I''m good at finding people, but I''m not perfect.I can''t possibly know where she is at any hour of


    the day."


    Regardless, Edgar insisted.


    Nathan said, "Unless you tell me what is going on"


    "Her maternal aunt just came back from abroad, and she set up a blind date for Jean" he exined


    morosely and weakly.


    Nathan snorted outughing at that moment.


    "It''s just because of this? There''s nothing to freak out over! Who else in the whole of Yorktown can


    stand on par with you? It''s only Jean that doesn''t see the allure.Any other woman-"


    "Enough.I have a bad feeling about this.I need to find them soon’ Julia''s words from the day before


    rang in his ears.


    She''s difficult to deal with.


    Meanwhile, Jean pulled Julia''s sleeves in a cafe exasperatedly.


    Still, Julia continued, "Hugo, this niece of mine is good at everything, but sometimes she doesn''t think


    things through.


    I think you are a good match, but you have to be more proactive."


    Huge smiled back at her.


    "You''re right, Ms.Horton’ Jean was speechless upon seeing the situation.Why is it Hugo? I knew


    something''s definitely up from Aunt Julia''s expression in the morning.


    "Have a good chat to get to know each other more."


    With that, Julia put on a pair of sunsses and left quickly.


    Jean sighed and drooped her head lower.


    Sitting opposite her, Hugo raised his hand and ordered a cup of coffee for her.


    "Why? Is it that hard to be with me?"
