Chapter 262
Anson felt as though he had heard a heavenly voice.
He greeted Laden and said, “Caden, let’s talk after we finish eating. Victor has also been busy all
day.
He must be hungry too.”
Anson was actually the one who was hungry. He had to eat first.
When it came to the matters concerning Eden, Victor’s fiery temper would drive people crazy.
“Okay!” Caden smiled and looked up at Victor, who was sitting opposite him. He saw that Victor had
a sullen expression on his face and he exuded a cold aura.
Victor matched his reputation. He looked even more handsome than his photos on the magazine
cover.
Caden picked up the glass of red wine and said, “Mr. Alwynn, this is the first time we meet. I’d like to
propose a toast to you.” He raised his glass at Victor.
Victor nodded and slightly sobered up. He picked up his glass, clinked glasses with Caden and
drank the red wine in one gulp.
He put down the glass and ate his food gracefully
without saying a word.
The atmosphere would become oppressive whenever Victor was present.
Laden seemed a little restrained as he ate silently. The dishes were authentic cuisine in River City.
They were delicately cooked and they tasted extremely good.noveldrama
Anson was already used to Victor’s temper. He would always be full if he pretended that Victor was
not there when he was eating.
He would not be at peace most of the time if he cared about Victor’s mood.
“Laden, the fish here is very delicious. It’s tender, smooth, hot and spicy. I could eat two bowls of
rice whenever I come here for dinner. Please eat more.” He greeted Laden and did not look at
Victor throughout the entire process.
Laden was really handsome. He smiled elegantly and picked up a piece of fish to eat.
Victor ate silently. In fact, he was not very hungry. He just wanted to wait for Anson and Laden to
finish their food.
Victor put down his chopsticks after he finished a small bowl of rice. He gestured for Anson and
Laden to continue eating.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea elegantly, and leaned against the chair. The light shone
on his handsome face. His nose was sharp and his lips that were tightly pursed showed a hint of
perseverance and stubbornness. His facial features were well-defined, as though they were
sculptured.
Laden lost his appetite when he sat facing Victor like that.
He looked at Victor and saw the coldness and arrogance on Victor’s delicate face.
He smiled. “Mr. Alwynn, what do you want to know about Cyan?”
He asked bluntly.
Seeing that Laden finally got to the point, Victor asked in a serious tone, “I would like to know about
Cyan’s life in the Gienger family. Did she live a good life? The Gienger family adopted her at the
orphanage.”
Laden looked at Victor with slight confusion when he heard his words. Even though he didn’t know
why Victor wanted to know about Cyan, he would tell the truth because he had a good relationship
with Anson.
As far as he could remember, Cyan was a pitiful girl.
Laden thought for a moment and started to talk about the time he first met Cyan. “The Kline and
Gienger families know each other. Cyan and I were in the same grade in high school but we were
not in the same class. As for her life…”
Her life was not very good. I would see her walking to school occasionally. She was very timid and
was obsequious towards her family.
However, she was different in front of outsiders.
I seldom saw her because she would be working during the holidays when she was still in high
school.
We would meet each other occasionally when the Kline and Gienger families had dinner together at
the Gienger’s place.
Cyan had a younger sister called Myra. I did not like that girl very much because she was not kind-
hearted. She often played pranks on Cyan and humiliated Eden in front of so many people. I had
encountered such situations many times.
In order to gain approval from the Gienger family, Cyan had always worked hard to be an obedient
girl. However, for some unknown reason, none of the members of the Gienger family liked Cyan. I
felt that their adoption of Cyan seemed unnecessary since they treated her like a servant.
Cyan was good at cooking. The most remarkable thing was that she was still kind even though she
grew up in such a family.
The incident that left the deepest impression on me was when Myra didn’t do well in her studies but
Cyan got first place in class. After Myra was scolded by her mother, she splashed a cup of mango
juice on Cyan, causing her to be drenched in mango juice.
Cyan seemed to be allergic to mango juice. She fainted when she was pushed down the stairs by
Myra.
The Gienger family did not pay for Cyan’s college tuition fees. Instead, Cyan used the money she
earned from working and the scholarship she obtained to finish college. She was very outstanding
in her design major.
However, Cyan disappeared after she graduated from college. I have never seen her again since
then…”
Caden told Victor everything he knew in detail under his pressure.
Victor had a terrifyingly sullen expression on his well-defined face. His eyes were dark and deep
and he exuded a cold aura.
He knew that Eden would not have a good time but he didn’t expect it to be so bad.
If she lived in the Clement family, she would be the most favored little princess. To Victor, Eden who
was innocent, was the source of their happiness.
Eden…
Victor’s heart seemed to have been clutched by someone, making it difficult for him to breathe. His
face was filled with pain.
D*mn the Gienger family. Eden’s disappearance in the past was extremely strange.
He hadn’t been away for a long time but Eden was gone when he came back. To this day, he still
remembered the blinding light and the deafening braking sound.
Did Eden lose her memory because of a car accident?
Victor’s heart trembled and he stood up suddenly. An elusive feeling flashed across his mind.
Anson couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when he saw Victor’s behavior. He had a
feeling that the Gienger family would be destroyed tonight.
His heart ached for Eden. He didn’t expect her to live such a difficult life.
“Caden, thank you. I have one condition. Nobody should know that I meet up with you tonight other
than the three of us. The Kline family had some collaborations with the Alwynn Group because of
Anson.
We will continue to collaborate with the Kline family.”
Victor spoke suddenly. His deep and powerful voice was filled with dominance and arrogance.
He strode away after that.
“Victor…” Anson’s tone was filled with pity.
Anson felt bitter and sad as he looked at Victor’s lonely and miserable back. How would Victor get
through tonight?
Anson was aware of how painful it was for Victor to live through all these years.
He didn’t want him to know about this initially but Victor insisted. It was better to let Victor know
because he wouldn’t have to investigate the matter again in the future.
