Victor took two steps forward, looking imposing and oppressive.
He glanced at the manager and said in a deep voice, "Show her the video."
Without hesitation, the manager played the edited video.
There was indeed something wrong with the video, but he had edited it. Moreover, Eden had threatened the shop assistant, so the video was irrefutable enough.
Delia saw herself in the video. It could be seen that she stood in front of the mirror in the diamond dress. However, the dress on her looked more luxurious and beautiful than this one.
The video was so clear that everyone could see the dress in the video.
"Look, the dress she was wearing was obviously different from this one. She bought the real one, but she tries to extort money with the fake one. She should be taught a lesson."
"Hey, this is not surprising at all. Victor and Eden love each other so much. Many women make trouble in order to get Victor. I think this woman wants to be with Victor, too."
Delia did not expect that they could guess her real thought.
Yes, she did this in order to see Victor.
Victor was not a kindhearted person. He did not care about kinship, friendship, and his classmates. If she came to him for help in the name of his classmate, he would not help her unless he could get benefit. He would even pretend not to know her.
Besides, her main purpose was to get one hundred million dollars.
Victor couldn't give her so much money, but others could. She couldn't resist the temptation, so she did this.
However, she didn't expect the shop assistant to be so cowardly. She confessed everything after they frightened her.
Victor looked at her gloomily, "Miss Jones, do you have anything to say?"
"I..."
The manager interrupted her and said, "Mr. Alwynn, I have called the police. She's a fraud."
"No, I'm not!" Delia tried to defend herself.
The shop suddenly became strangely quiet. Everyone looked at Delia with a mad face.
Delia sat on the ground feebly, and her face was drained of all colour and animation.
Soon, the police took her away for investigation.
Someone shot the video and posted it online.
This matter was widely spread on the Internet, and people even hunted for her information online.
Eden didn't know these things. After solving this matter, she went to Lyric's house. After all, she was too busy to care about the news on the Internet.
Victor sent her there in person. He didn't drive away until she entered the neighbourhood.
Victor dialed Dean's phone number.
"Hello? Mr. Alwynn."
Victor asked, "Where is Paulina?"
"Mr. Alwynn, give me five minutes."
"Five minutes is too long. Three minutes."
Dean gritted his teeth and replied, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Dean immediately called to check Paulina's whereabouts.
When Eden arrived at Lyric's house, she saw Lyric sit alone in a wheelchair and wait for her with a glass of milk in her hand.
"Eden, you're finally here." Lyric was very happy. If it her foot was not injured, she would definitely give Eden a big hug.
Lyric sat where she was, and she didn't come to sense until she finished drinking the milk.
She suddenly remembered the other words Eden had said.
How did she feel when Eden and Jasper came here?
She was looking forward to their arrival with the same expectation, but her feelings were different when they came, and she couldn't tell the difference.
In the end, she couldn't figure it out. Eden concentrated on cooking, while she sat in the living room reading novels.
She had finished reading the novel about Victor and Lucian, and then she found a lot of similar novels. She watched them with great interest every day. Jasper saw it and did not say anything, but his face would darken.
Whenever she read the novels, the atmosphere in the room would become stiff. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Jasper.
However, she could feel his unhappiness. Hence, she only read the novels when Jasper was not here.
She was engrossed in the novel. The sunset cast shed a soft glow on her body.
The living room was exceptionally quiet. The sound of Eden cutting vegetables in the kitchen became extremely clear.
An hour later, Eden came out of the kitchen with the dishes. Smelling the aroma of the delicious chicken soup, Lyric raised her head slowly.
Eden smiled gently at her. Under the afterglow, her smile was very bright. Her smiling face was especially pretty, which took shine off the sunset.
Before Lyric could say anything, Eden asked her to have dinner.
"Lyric, let's eat first." Originally, she would have dinner with Victor. However, Delia had made a scene in the mall, and he had something to deal with.
Lyric smiled gratefully, "Okay, Eden, thank you so much."
In the club, Dahlia was talking with her client. All of a sudden, the door was kicked open by force.
