Chapter 886 Avery is Pregnant
Primrose was taken aback for a moment, looking at Edgar, wondering if he was trying to remind her of something.
She smiled. "If the CEO you mentioned is Mr. Cunningham, it shouldn't be sexual harassment."
Edgar raised an eyebrow, looking at Primrose with deep meaning.
"Next." He raised his hand slightly.
The other interns were a bit confused, looking at Edgar with fear.
Edgar's questions were tricky. Seeing that Primrose answered from the company's perspective, the others hesitated back and forth, not knowing the correct answer.
It was Hestia's turn.
Edgar cleared his throat, sat up straight, and asked seriously, "What...do you think about your husband keeping secrets from you?"
Hestia looked at Edgar. "Mr. Cunningham, this topic involves personal privacy. I can refuse to answer."
Everyone's eyes were on Hestia.
Primrose sneered, thinking Hestia was pretending to be indifferent.
Everyone was waiting to see Hestia make a fool of herself, but Edgar clapped his hands. "See? She used the law to protect her legal rights. If you can't even protect your own legal rights, how can I trust you to protect the company's legal rights?"
Everyone was stunned, looking at Edgar in shock. What was going on?
"Hestia, you're qualified. Stay. The others will be chosen based on their overall scores." Edgar stood up, looking at Marlon.
Marlon nodded. "Yes, Mr. Cunningham."
Edgar took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. It seemed like Hestia was interviewing him instead of the other way around.
As soon as Edgar left the conference room, Primrose angrily slammed the table and stood up. "Hestia, do you think you're so capable?"
Hestia gave Primrose a cold look. "Since you wasted your professional knowledge, who can you blame?"
Primrose angrily pointed at Hestia. "What do you mean?"
"I mean you are useless." This time, Hestia didn't plan to spare Primrose's dignity.
Some people only get worse if you spare their dignity.
"Hestia!" Primrose slammed the table and shouted.
Other colleagues quickly intervened. "Don't be angry. She has no backing, let her show off."
Primrose snorted. "Even if you stay, so what? You'll be kicked out sooner or later."
"Didn't you say you were going to marry into the Cunningham family? Which heir of the Cunningham family are you marrying? As far as I know, the first two are married, and only the third heir, Mr. Edgar Cunningham, is not married. But it seems he doesn't know you." Hestia directly exposed Primrose.
Primrose's face turned ugly, clenching her hands. "What does it have to do with you? Mind your own business!"
Hestia sneered and left.
Some people couldn't be indulged.
Back in the office area, Marlon announced the internship results. Hestia, as the top scorer, stayed, and the others were ranked by their scores, with Primrose being second.
Actually, Primrose could have done well through her own efforts, but she insisted on taking shortcuts.
"Hestia, I'm curious, how did you leave the Cunningham Group and come back?" A colleague was curious and wanted to know what Hestia did.
"I filed a complaint. We're all law students, and you don't know that the Cunningham Group's HR department was wrong?" Hestia looked at the colleague.
The colleague was stunned, lowering their head in shame.
Hestia sat at her desk and messaged Edward: [That Cunningham Group president doesn't seem like a good person, very frivolous.]
Hestia typed cautiously, afraid of being seen.
Soon, Edward replied: [You're right, but his second brother is very nice.]
Hestia asked: [Are you familiar with the three Cunningham brothers?]
[Yes, very familiar.]
Hestia smiled: [That's good. I confronted Primrose today. If she really becomes the Cunningham Group president's wife, I'll be in trouble.]
Edward replied: [I guarantee she won't become the president's wife.]
Hestia breathed a sigh of relief, inexplicably trusting Edward.
Since he said so, she wouldn't be polite to Primrose.
Edgar returned to his office and called Edward. "Edward, did Hestia praise me?"
Edward laughed sarcastically. "My wife told me to stay away from you."
Edgar was taken aback, he looked like he was hit by a hurricane.. "I tried so hard."
"Don't scare my wife." Edward reminded, then continued. "Take care of Mom and Jasmine at home. Lily has completely eclipsed Amara and firmly established herself within the Powell family. I think she's quite ambitious..."
Edward was a bit worried.
Edgar also felt uneasy, wanting to say something but remained silent for a moment before speaking. "Okay, Edward, don't worry. I'll take care of Hestia too."
After hanging up, Edgar leaned on the sofa, feeling inexplicably anxious.
"Mr. Cunningham!" The assistant rushed in. "Mr. Cunningham, something happened..."
Edgar frowned, looking at the assistant with a grim face. "What happened?"
The assistant took a deep breath and walked to Edgar's side. "Ms. Hawthorne had an accident in prison, was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and is temporarily out of danger."
Edgar stood up abruptly, his face grim, and quickly walked out.
Avery's accident at this time was definitely not a coincidence.
At the door, Jasmine also received the news and saw Edgar about to leave as she entered.
Jasmine raised her hand to stop Edgar. "Avery had an accident."
Edgar was filled with anger, saying nothing, and walked out.
"Don't go yet." Jasmine stopped Edgar. "Avery's accident is not a coincidence."
"Mr. Cunningham! Rhett is here." The assistant took a deep breath and spoke softly.
Sure enough, this was Rhett's purpose.
"You and Lyanna have rumors, and now he's eager to force you. He knows Avery is your weakness." Jasmine frowned.
It seemed Rhett was planning to use Avery to threaten Edgar.
"I'll see him." Edgar's voice was low.
"Stay calm." Jasmine frowned, holding Edgar back.
Edgar nodded, his aura cold.
Jasmine sighed, looking at Edgar. Only matters related to Avery could make him mature.
In the conference room.
Edgar looked at Rhett. "I don't know if Mr. Murray came to the Cunningham Group for a tour?"
"My wife had an accident in prison. I was passing by and came to see you, and talk about Lyanna." Rhett sat in the chair, speaking indifferently.
Edgar clenched his hands, knowing Rhett was here to threaten him.
"We're all adults. Lyanna is throwing herself at me. I have no reason to refuse, right?" Edgar spoke frivolously.
Rhett sneered, looking at Edgar. "The media has already photographed you together. I think we should discuss the engagement." Rhett's voice was low.
Edgar sneered.
"Do you know why my wife went to the hospital?" Rhett smiled. "Because she's pregnant. The previous checkup didn't find it because it was too early."
Edgar's fingers clenched until his knuckles turned white.
