Chapter 431
Eden lowered her head slightly, and her long eyelashes hid the disappointment in her eyes.
Although Victor was good to her, and she even could feel some special feelings for him in her heart.
She still knew that it was impossible for them to be together.
Jaida knew what she was worried about, and she also felt the same. After all, Phillip was a very
ruthless person.
Thinking of this, she smiled lightly and said, “Eden, we should be cautious as well. You have also
seen it. There are some things that you cannot avoid no matter how hard you try.” She stared at
Eden after she said that. There were some things that she had to admit that she was truly unable to
stop.
Eden stared at her mother for a while.
Then she glanced out of the window.
“Mom, I understand what you mean.”
Jaida smiled. “I know that you have been hardworking for the children. But Eden, they will grow up
one day, and they each have their own paths to go.
They will have to leave you one day, and you have to think about your own life. There are still good
men in the world, just like your dad.”
Hearing this, a sudden smile appeared on Edan’s face. “Mom, I thought you would say just like
Victor.”
“He is also very good! Look, after so many years, there haven’t been any rumors and scandals
about him.”
Eden fixed her eyes on her mother’s face for a moment and said, “Mom, it seems that you know Mr.
Alwynn better than I do.”
Jaida looked away slightly, looking a little upset.
That was her child, how could she not understand?
She sighed in her heart. She really wanted to go back to her two children, but she was afraid that
she would hurt them again.
Now that she was back, she had to do something.
Thinking of this, she looked back at Eden.
But her sudden change had already noticed by Eden.
Eden knew that her mother always looked like this when she thought of the past.
So she looked at her mother and said, “Mom, let’s not talk about Victor. Let’s talk about something
else.”
Jaida lowered her eyes slightly, smiled, and said, “Eden, aren’t you very curious about my identity?”
Hearing this, Eden looked to her mother immediately and their eyes met. But she suddenly felt a
little awkward and wanted to look away.
She knew this was her mother’s sore spot.
So she shook her head slightly. “Mom, I don’t want to know about it. I only care about who you are
right now.”
Jaida’s eyes were fixed on Eden’s face. She knew the worries in Eden’s heart. “If you do, I can tell
you these at any time. It’s just that something will be revealed when the time comes.”

Eden tried to hide the emotions in her eyes, then she just smiled and said, “I will find it out when
that time comes then.”
“Alright.” Jaida smiled slightly, and she still felt so sorry for Eden.
She knew that Eden didn’t want to touch her on the raw.
And she still didn’t have enough courage to say it out loud anyway.
So she got up and said, “I will make dinner now. Your dad will be back soon. Zofia won’t come back
for dinner tonight, so there only will be three of us.
I will make something you like.” “Sure! I want shrimp.” Eden smiled happily.
“I went to the market this morning and bought some shrimps. So I’ll make them for you.” Jaida
smiled and went to the kitchen.
After she left, Eden sat back on the sofa.
Her eyes darkened and she became more and more suspicious.
She took out her phone and called Abigail.
The phone rang for a long time before Abigail picked it up.
“Hey! Eden, have you eaten yet?”
“Not yet, Ab by. Is everything alright recently? Why do I feel that you have something on your
mind?”
She had been worried about Abby these days.
She looked out of the window and fixed her eyes on the gorgeous sunset glow outside.
On the other side of the phone, there was a moment of silence. “Joziah, that b*stard, is messing
about with another woman.” Abigail’s lowered her voice and sounded a little trembling.
When Eden heard this, she could tell that Abigail indeed had some feelings for Joziah.
So she said, “Abby, you can’t force anything in a relationship. You don’t have to be too sad. It would
be better to leave such a man like him anyway.”
“Eden, this is not the point. The point is that Joziah, that b*stard, took my shares in Mirth Company
as his own. That’s 30% shares of the company! This b*stard.”
Eden’s eyes darkened when she heard that.
“How did he do it?” It seemed that Joziah was really an awful person.
Abigail let out a heavy sigh.
“Eden, now Joziah doesn’t know that I already found out what he is doing yet. So, now there is still
a turning point. You don’t have to worry, I will handle it well.”
“But, Abby…”
“Eden, I still have something to do now. I’ll call you when I’m free. Don’t mention this to Jas yes. I
can solve it by myself.”
“Alright. Take care of yourself. Don’t tire yourself out.”
“I know. Thank you, Eden. See you.”
Abigail said in a positive tone, but after she hung up, she felt a little upset and then threw the phone
on the sofa beside her.
She was sitting in the bright and spacious hall, still wearing a bright red tight dress.
Among the crowd of people coming and going, she was the focus of everyone’s attention.
Anson was not far behind her and heard everything she had just said on the phone clearly.
He looked at her back and thought that Joziah was such a despicable man.
He soon adjusted his emotions, put one hand into his trouser pocket, and walked toward her.
Through the corner of his eyes, he saw that Jasper was about to get up and leave.
So he quickened his pace.
He moved slightly and instantly bumped into Jasper.
“I’m sorry…” He looked at her quickly. “Abby! What a coincidence. I didn’t expect to run into you
here.”
When Abigail realized who it was, she was also slightly shocked.
“Anson! Why are you in Gate City?” She was so confused.
Anson smiled and looked at her. “I’m on a business trip, and I have just finished my work.”
Abigail also smiled and said, “That’s such a coincidence.”
Anson looked at her with an unclear look and raised his hand to check the time. He then looked at
Abigail’s sorrowful face with a gentle gaze and said with a smile, “Indeed. So why don’t we have
dinner together? I’m going back to River City tomorrow.” He looked very confident as if he wouldn’t
accept a no as an answer, which revealed the domineering side hidden in his heart.
Abigail looked at him up and down with a little hesitation.
Only then did she suddenly remember that he had been sending her messaged recently.
He sent greeting messages to her every day, but she never replied to him.
Abigail frowned slightly, and a look of guilt appeared in her eyes. She smiled enchantingly as she
nodded, “Alright!”
Hearing this, Anson’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
He couldn’t control his emotions at all.
Then he smiled and said, “What do you want to eat?”
“I can eat whatever,” said Abigail.
A hint of gloom flashed across Anson’s eyes. It seemed that she wasn’t bothered at all.
