Eden smiled when she heard that. "Jasper, I'm not that ambitious. I just want to know where she took me away."
Bethany ran over me and took me away back then. I only know about the matter after some time."
Eden recalled what Bethany had said a while ago. "Eden, I know you hate me for the way I treated you back then but humans are selfish. You are not my biological daughter so why should I treat you well?
This is your fate and you should accept it.
Now you are clinging on to Victor, the richest man in River City, are you asking him to help you get revenge?"
Her words were really hurtful.
Bethany had even asked Eden to accept her fate.
Eden could decide how she wanted to live. Why should she accept her fate?
Jasper's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Eden, I have an idea after hearing what you have said."
Eden said, "Jasper, say it!" "Eden, Bethany is now in a mess. You can take the opportunity to trick her into telling you what had happened back then."
"Oh!" Eden smiled slightly. "Jasper, I know what you mean and I know what to do."
"Okay! Be careful. Call me anytime if something happens."
Eden nodded and said, "Okay, got it. Thank you, Jasper."
Eden hung up the phone after she had finished speaking.
She tidied up her desk and went to eat at the canteen.
Amelia had already gone downstairs.
Eden got out of her office and realized that it was very quiet upstairs.
She glanced at Victor's office and saw that the door was closed. It seemed like they had also gone out to eat.
She took the elevator to the canteen. Many employees who had already eaten, came out of the canteen. They greeted Eden when they saw her.
"Director Bleu."
"Director Bleu."
Eden smiled and nodded at them.
No one dared to mention the news the other day.
Everyone would only discuss about Eden and Victor privately.
They didn't dare to say anything in front of Eden.
"Cyan, go to hell!" Suddenly, a roar came from behind Eden.
Eden looked back and saw Myra carrying a small red bucket and splashing the contents of the bucket towards her back.
Eden was shocked and her eyes were fixed on the mango juice that was directed towards her.
She was particularly sensitive to the scent of mango juice. She knew what Myra was going to do to her when she smelled the scent.
"Eden." Victor who had just finished his meal, saw the shocking scene.
He ran towards Eden as fast as he could.
Anson, Lucian and Adonis shuddered when they saw what was happening.
Who was that?
Eden was the apple of Victor's eye.
Anson felt that Myra would be dead for sure.
"Splash..."
All the mango juice splashed on Eden's whole body.
Victor shouted urgently, "Quickly go to the hospital."
Adonis started the car quickly and headed to the nearest hospital.
Victor pulled out a tissue from the tissue box in the
car and carefully wiped away the juice on Eden's face.
Eden was shaking in his arms and she started to feel dizzy. Her face had become red and swollen.
Victor felt angry and distressed at the same time when he saw Eden's condition.
"Eden, Eden, how are you feeling?" He called out to her softly.
"It hurts..." Eden let out two words softly. Her skin was burning with pain.
The familiar feeling had caused her to be on the verge of breaking down. No matter how strong she was, she couldn't hold on any longer at the moment.
Victor looked at Eden's red and swollen face and his whole body started to shake. The corner of his mouth was also trembling.
"Eden, hold on a little longer. It won't hurt after a while." His gentle voice sounded in her ear.
Eden closed her eyes tightly. She nearly became unconscious but she was brought back by Victor's gentle voice.
The scenes from the past in the Gienger family flashed across her mind like a movie.
"Cyan, I was scolded because you scored better than me in the exam. Let’s see if I can torture you to death." An evil voice sounded and the mango juice was already dripping down her body.
Eden had experienced that many times and she was really scared. Her heart hurt so much!
Eden stuttered, "It hurts... No. Don't treat me like this. No..."
Victor felt an indescribable stabbing pain all over his body when he saw Eden's condition. He felt as though his chest was being stabbed by a sharp knife and the pain made it difficult for him to breathe.
"Eden, it won't hurt after a while." Victor held Eden tightly. The painful and soft voice reached Eden's ears. Eden seemed to be soothed by it and she gradually became quiet.
