Chapter 417
Eden glanced at the phone number and saw that it was an unknown number!
She was confused but she still answered the phone.
“Hello! Who’s there?”
“Hello, Director Bleu, I am…”
Eden was still holding her phone to her ear even when the other party had hung up for a while!
She was slightly stunned for a moment before she put down her phone slowly.
She was not bothered by the rumors online but that didn’t mean other people were not bothered by
that!
It would affect other people even though it didn’t affect her.
Jaida had been sending messages to her via WhatsApp.
Eden had replied to Jaida and told her that she was fine.
Zaiden was also very worried about her. She thought that it was sufficient that her family trusted her.
In this big society, her family could tolerate her but that did not mean that others would do the same
too!
Someone must have been secretly manipulating the incidents the past two days.
Who could it be?
Familiar faces flashed across Eden’s mind.
No way. She could ignore the matter but it would still affect her family’s lives.
She picked up her phone and dialed Jasper’s number.
“Eden, what’s wrong?” Jasper’s voice was always filled with concern.
Eden smiled and said, “Jasper, have you found out who did it?”
Jasper said, “Eden, I was about to call you. I’ve found it. I’ll go and meet the person in charge of the
media company later. Wait a little longer. I’ll call you again at night.”
“Okay!” Eden nodded slightly and hung up the phone.
Eden heaved a sigh of relief.
She touched her forehead helplessly!
The matter was potentially dangerous and would affect her family to some extent.
It was best to get to the bottom of it.
Her family members were her greatest spiritual support. She could not let them be affected because
of her.
“Eden.” A hoarse voice sounded. Eden raised her head and glanced at Victor who was dressed in
casual clothes. He looked elegant.
He looked extraordinarily handsome too. An aggressive aura invaded the entire office with his
presence.
Eden composed herself and said, “Mr. Alwynn, you are here.”
Victor looked at her deeply. His handsome face was a little pale, and there were no emotions in his
black eyes. He nodded gently and said, “Come to my office!”
As he spoke, his upright figure strode away.
Eden glanced at his back, picked up a glass of water at the side and drank a mouthful of water
before she followed Victor.
She glanced over and found that Lucian still had not come to work.
She took another deep breath before she walked into Victor’s office.
Victor was making coffee. When he heard her voice, he looked back at Eden and said in a low
voice, “Eden, sit down!”
Eden looked at him. “Do you have something to talk to me about?” She had to go back to work. She
didn’t want to work overtime at night.
Victor did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, “Did you have dinner with Jasper last night?”
“Yes!” Eden nodded slightly. She could answer frankly since it was the truth.
It seemed like he had seen the news!
She looked at his back and thought of the phone call she had received a while ago. There were
complicated emotions in her eyes!
Victor who was stirring the coffee paused when he heard Eden’s direct answer.
After a while, he walked over with two cups of coffee and put a cup in front of Eden.
Victor leaned on the sofa lazily and looked at Eden deeply.
The first thing he saw on his phone when he woke up was the news about Eden and Jasper.
There was no doubt that she was still in a dangerous situation even if he didn’t approach her.
He picked up the cup and took a sip gracefully.
On the other hand, Eden didn’t even look at the
coffee.
Victor looked at her and said, “Drink some coffee first. This is the new brewing method that I have
discovered. It tastes good!”
Eden lowered her head and glanced at the coffee that was giving off a strong aroma. She pursed
her lips slightly and had no intention to drink it.
She didn’t like coffee very much. Hence, it didn’t matter to her whether the coffee tasted good or
not!
However, Victor’s intense gaze made her picked up the beautiful porcelain cup slowly and took a
sip.
She frowned slightly. It tasted bitter!
Victor asked, “Doesn’t it taste good?”
Eden put down the cup and said, “Mr. Alwynn, I don’t like to drink coffee. I could only taste its
bitterness when I drink coffee. Thus, to answer your question, I can only tell you that it doesn’t taste
good!”
“Hehe…” Victor laughed in a low voice before he looked at her and said, “Eden, I thought you would
like it.”
Eden looked at him calmly. “Mr. Alwynn, let’s get down to business. The Loco Company doesn’t
want to cooperate with us…” “It’s Vincent!” Victor interrupted her.
Eden was speechless.
What did that have to do with Vincent?
Eden asked him in confusion, “What does that have to do with Vincent?”
Could it be…
Victor’s eyes darkened and he said in a hoarse voice, “He knows Mr. Leo. Mr. Leo changed his
mind because Vincent gave him some benefits but do not worry about this matter. Vincent only
knows Mr. Leo but I know the president of their company.
I have already talked to their president about this matter. There will be news soon so you don’t have
to worry about that!”
Eden didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Why did Vincent do that? I don’t remember when I
offended him.”
Victor curled his lips slightly and sneered. He exuded a noble aura and his handsome face was
sharp and cold.
“Vincent has always liked to play this kind of dirty trick.
What happened today was also his doing. He saw you and Jasper leaving together when he came
to fetch Haven. There were surveillance footages in front of the company’s building. Everything will
come to light by just checking the footages.
Vincent did that because the Jotham Alwynn Group had not come up with the new products for
autumn but we already have your products ready. That was why he was so anxious.
Besides wanting to ruin you, he also wants to destroy the Alwynn Group.”
Victor had already called someone to investigate the matter the moment he saw the news.
Eden couldn’t believe her ears. She was actually involved in the competition between the members
of the Alwynn family.
She looked at Victor with an aggrieved face and said, “Victor, I am very aggrieved. It’s fine that you
and Vincent compete with each other but why am I involved in it too?”
It was really tiring to live like that!
Victor raised his lips slightly and asked, “Eden, because we are in the same boat now.”
Eden smiled coldly. “Who is on the same boat with you?”
She would have a target behind her back if she was not careful. Even if she was indifferent to the
daily scandals, she would still be driven crazy by the cyberbullies.
Victor did not speak when he heard that and he looked a little tired.
He leaned lazily back on the sofa. After a while, he said, “Eden, don’t forget that you have promised
to watch a movie with me tomorrow!”

She would have forgotten it if he had not mentioned it.
She thought of the phone call she had received at noon and said, “We’ll talk about it tomorrow. I’ll
go and continue my work.”
