Chapter 373
Eden looked at Bethany coldly. “Madam, please get out of the way. I need to attend a meeting now!”
Her voice was icy cold.
Bethany felt a chill down her spine due to Eden’s cold behavior.
Eden had become confident. If she was still Bethany’ s daughter, she would be able to gain benefits
for herself!
However, it was too late now and there was no turning back!
Brody and Antony also walked towards Eden when they couldn’t meet Victor.
Bethany glared at Eden and said, “Cyan, it was my fault back then. What exactly do you want me to
do for you to spare the Gienger family?”
She really hated the fact that she didn’t kill Eden when she ran over her back then. Eden wouldn’t
have the opportunity to make things difficult for the Gienger family now. Eden had fought back and
caused her to be powerless.
Eden said with a sneer, “Madam, you really have the wrong person!”
She looked straight at Bethany and met her sharp and hateful gaze. Both of them stared at each
other quietly.

There was no emotion in Eden’s eyes. On the contrary, Eden saw a hint of panic and fear in
Bethany’s eyes.
Eden was startled. She did not expect that Bethany would be afraid one day.
On second thoughts, Bethany had used all kinds of despicable means to obtain happiness and
wealth. She was very anxious at the moment when she realized that she was going to lose all of
that.
“Cyan, stop pretending. I have raised you for more than ten years. How can I not recognize you? Do
you think Mr. Alwynn will keep you here if I tell him about our relationship?” Bethany’s tone was
fierce and she looked at Eden agitatedly.
Eden smiled coldly and replied nonchalantly, “Madam, you can tell him now if you like! Mr. Alwynn is
in his office at the moment.”
Eden pointed at Victor’s office with her slender fingers.
Victor’s purpose of doing that might be something she would not have expected. Perhaps… Eden
dared not think any deeper.
She really wanted to continue to investigate her speculations when she heard about the matter but
she was afraid that she could not accept the truth.
She had suppressed the curiosity in her heart and she didn’t have the impulse to investigate the
matter anymore. She was able to control herself very well at the moment.
At the same time, she started to believe that one would get more if he gave more.
Brody said angrily, “Eden, you know very well that Victor doesn’t want to see us and you are the
only one who can help us at the moment. We were the ones who had raised and your achievement
today is due to…”
Before Brody could finish his words, Eden gave him a cold glance and left with Amelia, with the
documents in her hands.
Eden was ruthless in her life occasionally. Sometimes, she knew that she had to return the favor if
she owed someone a favor.
In the future, she would not please the people she did not like because she preferred to treat herself
well.
Victor stood in his office and witnessed everything that had happened outside.
He smiled gently as he looked at Eden’s confident and calm back.
Eden had always been able to deal with matters on her own. In order to survive in the Gienger
family, she had catered to the Gienger family’s demands and had always been wronged. She could
protect herself better now!
Anson who was standing at the side looked as if he had seen a ghost when he saw the gentle smile
on Victor’s face. He quickly took out his mobile phone and took a photo of Victor.
He could use the photo to tease Victor in the future.
When Victor heard the sound of the camera, he glanced sideways at Anson and said angrily,
“Delete the photos!”
Anson quickly hid his phone behind his back and stared at him. He said grimly, “Victor, I did take a
photo but it’s not necessarily you.
Look at Lucian outside. His every move is more interesting than yours. Even popular male idols
could not outmatch him. Why should I take photos of your icy cold face instead?
It’s great to take photos of Lucian. If he is lucky enough to become a popular star one day, then the
photo that I had taken would become very valuable.”
Anson didn’t care to make things up. He had always been good at doing that.
After all, humans lied for different reasons, let alone the ones living in this modern and competitive
era.
Victor frowned and looked at Anson. “Anson, you want Lucian to become an actor? Are you
daydreaming? Do you think someone who seldom talks like him would be given many lines?”
Lucian would be successful as an actor if Victor invested in him.
Anson smiled and said, “That’s true. Lucian probably would not have such thoughts.”
“But…” Anson pointed to Bethany and her family and said in a deep voice, “What should we do with
the people from the Gienger family? It seems that they are adamant about meeting you and will not
leave without doing so.”
It was crucial to change the subject at the moment.
Victor said coldly and resentfully, “They can do whatever they like. We’ll follow the original plan to
deal with their family.” He walked back to his desk, turned on his computer and got ready for a video
conference.
Anson replied, “Got it!” It seemed that Myra’s actions had enraged Victor.
Victor looked at the computer that was slowly turning on and recalled the scene where Jaida
stroked Eden’s hair gently in the morning. On his way to work, he couldn’t help marveling that fate
was indeed amazing!
He was engulfed in loneliness in the past. Only people with great courage were able to overcome
loneliness and get the results they wanted in the end.
Victor had always known that his insistence would pay off.
The two people whom Victor had been longing for had already returned to his side. He would no
longer feel lonely from now onwards. Even if he just looked at them from a distance, he would also
not feel lonely.
Victor started his work.
Anson also returned to his office silently and prepared to work.
Lucian walked in with a cup of coffee in his hand. He placed the meeting documents that he had
prepared in front of Victor, turned around, and walked away elegantly without speaking.
Seeing Lucian’s behavior, Victor suddenly felt that Lucian was really sent by God to save him. He
could not find someone more suitable than Lucian to be his secretary.
He would only speak when necessary and would not talk nonsense. He also knew how to weigh the
importance of the things that he had witnessed and would pretend nothing had happened if it was
none of his business.
Bethany, Brody and Antony, who had been standing outside and were unwilling to leave, looked
anxious.
Antony said, “Mom, are we going to wait here all day?”
