Chapter 381
Jasper was very happy when he heard that. “Eden, I won’t leave then. I’ll stay and have dinner with
you.”
Eden smiled and teased, “Okay! You often do this kind of thing anyway!” Her worries were gone
with Jasper by her side.
“Hehe…” Jasper laughed happily. He had always been doing that.
He had often gone to Eden’s house to have a free meal because their houses were close to each
other when they were in Gate City.
The phone on the table rang suddenly. Eden glanced at Jasper before she quickly grabbed the
phone and opened the message.
[Cyan, I know you are trying to investigate your identity. I will not let you fulfil your wish. I will tell you
about the matter only if you make Victor cancel his acquisition of my company.]
When Eden looked at the message, she realized that Bethany could not be threatened easily.
Jasper also saw the contents of the text message.
He said in a low voice, “Eden, it seems that she is unwilling to talk easily. Why don’t we add some
information for her? She would have no other choice but to talk. Besides, she is anxious about the
acquisition of her company at the moment. I believe that there are times that she would be
desperate.”
“Okay!” Eden thought for a moment before she took a screenshot of the important part of the
message that Jasper had sent her and sent it to Bethany.
Bethany’s reply was very fast this time.
[Cyan, what do you really want?]
Eden replied quickly, [Bethany, I don’t want anything other than to know the location where you took
Eden away. This is your last chance. If you still refuse to tell me, I will upload the rest of the
information on the Internet. Let’s see who is more cruel!]
Eden held the phone tightly after sending the message.
She received a reply from Bethany very quickly.
[Cyan, I’m going to let you listen to your daughter’s voice. You know me very well because I used to
be your mother. I am capable of doing anything if you push me over the edge!
Stop Victor from buying my company immediately or I will kill your daughter and you never see her
again for the rest of your life!]
Bethany even added a smug emoji at the end.
Eden narrowed her eyes. The next instant, she received a video of Gia being tied up in a messy
room. Gia was constantly struggling and her helplessness caused Eden to feel as though her heart
was being stabbed by a knife.
“Ah, Gia.” The phone in Eden’s hand almost fell to the ground.
She had never expected that Bethany would be so vicious that she would abduct Gia to threaten
her.
It seemed that she was very sure that Eden was Cyan.
“D*mn it!” Jasper shouted angrily.
He quickly grabbed the phone from Eden’s hand and sent the video to his phone. After that, he
stood up and made a call.
Eden also quickly dialed Jaida’s number.
“Hello! Eden.” Jaida’s voice was slightly wheezing on the other end of the phone. It seemed like she
was trotting.
Eden’s heart tightened when she heard that. She suppressed the fear in her heart and asked,
“Mother, is Gia with you?”
“Eden, Kenny and I are looking for Gia. She went to buy water on the way but she hasn’t come back
after fifteen minutes. I am now looking for her near the supermarket outside the bookstore.”

When Eden heard that, she bit her lower lip hard and swallowed before saying, “Mom, you and
Kenny can
come back first. You won’t be able to find Gia there.”
Jaida asked anxiously, “Eden, what do you mean by that? Do you know where Gia is? Did
something happen to Gia?”
“Mom, Bethany had abducted Gia.” Eden said in anguish. She closed her eyes tightly and forced
herself to calm down.
She couldn’t lose her mind at the moment.
“Eden, don’t worry, I will call your father now. Remember, don’t go anywhere. Just wait for me to
come back.” Jaida hung up the phone quickly.
She took Kenny’s hand, stopped a taxi and headed home.
She sent a WhatsApp message to Zaiden in the taxi.
Zaiden replied to her quickly and asked her to go back to accompany Eden. He would send
someone to save Gia.
Eden had just opened her eyes when her cell phone rang again. She glanced at it and quickly
picked up the phone. “Hello! Dad! I was about to call you. Bethany took Gia away.” Zaiden had
many connections and he could find Gia faster than her.
A kind and caring voice came from the other side of the phone. “Eden, don’t worry. I already knew
that. Send me the message that Bethany had sent to you.
I will ask someone to check it out.”
“Okay. Thank you, Dad!” Eden hung up the phone quickly and forwarded the video that Bethany
had sent her to Zaiden.
At the same time, Jasper had returned to the room. He was calm and restrained at the moment.
Jasper sat down next to Eden and gently held her in his arms. He could feel that her slender body
was trembling slightly. He hugged her tightly and supported her.
He comforted her in a low voice. “Eden, I have already sent someone to investigate the matter.
There will be news soon. You don’t have to worry too much!”
“Okay!” Eden leaned on his chest quietly and rubbed her lightly as if she was seeking comfort.
Jasper was slightly stunned by her slight movement. His suit jacket was not buttoned up and there
was only a layer of white shirt above his warm skin.
Eden was only anxious at the moment and she didn’t notice the look on Jasper’s handsome face.
His dark eyes were so deep that he couldn’t wait to make her his.
Jasper hugged her quietly and his gaze was unusually cold. Bethany was playing with fire this time.
The notification from the phone on the table rang again. Eden got up quickly, picked up the phone
and clicked open the message.
[Cyan, I will kill your daughter immediately if you call the police. Call Victor immediately and tell him
not to acquire my company and stop the meeting with the shareholder. Otherwise, you can wait to
collect your daughter’s corpse.]
Eden realized that Bethany was testing her.
She quickly sent a message, [I don’t know Victor.]
Both Bethany and Eden were testing each other.
Anyway, Eden had never admitted that she was Cyan.
There was still no response from Bethany a few minutes after Eden had sent the message.
Eden started to panic.
She could tell that Bethany still had doubts in her heart.
Jasper said, “Eden, don’t reply to Bethany anymore from now onwards. Let her confuse herself.”
Eden nodded slightly. She was worried that Bethany was sure that she was Cyan at the moment. If
Bethany didn’t make a move, Eden would continue to waste time with her patiently.
Eden had been waiting patiently only to receive another video from Bethany. It was a video of
someone beating Gia.
“Bethany, you b*stard.” Eden scolded in a low voice.
She grabbed her phone and called Victor. At the moment, she only wanted Gia to be safe.
