Victor looked at Eden with his soft gaze, then he glanced out of the window and said with a smile, "Eden, I'll be happy if you're happy."
"What if I'm not happy?" Asked Eden.
"Then I won't be happy either." She really had the magic to affect his mood.
Eden smiled. "You're just like Gia, who is only a child. But I feel that Gia is even more mature than you."
Victor smiled but didn't say anything. In fact, no matter how he felt like, he would always feel so happy when he was with her.
Eden checked the time again and felt more and more anxious as the time passed by.
The traffic normally was really bad at this time in River City.
She got up and looked at Victor gratefully. "Victor, thank you!"
If it were for him, she really didn't know what would she do for this.
The other party had done this so openly, so they surely weren't scared that Victor would know who they were.
Victor got up and looked at her delicate face with a smile. However, he put on an unpleasant face on purpose and said, "Why are you so polite to me now?"
"I'm just used to it!" Eden said with a smile.
Victor didn't really expect this answer, but he also understood that it was indeed hard to change something that she was used to.
Knowing that she was worried, he picked up his jacket and put it on immediately.
Eden watched him doing this and couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth slightly. She had to admit that he was indeed a charming man. The expensive suit really highlighted his perfect body shape, making him look even more attractive.
He lowered his head and said to Eden, "Let's go. I'll go with you."
"Alright!" Eden smiled and nodded. Then the two of them left together.
As soon as they went out, they saw Ingeborg who was standing at the door. Eden narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Mr. Alwynn." Ingeborg suddenly looked at Victor with a face of fear. "When can I leave the company?" She just wanted to make sure everything would be alright for her.
Victor looked at her, and there were no emotions in his eyes. "You can leave after we find out the truth."
"So how long will it take?" She couldn't stay here forever.
If the media found out what she had done today, she would really be destroyed.
Victor said coldly, "It depends on when you are willing to tell us who is the person behind this."
"I..." Ingeborg almost said something, but she hesitated on second thought. If she really said it, it would prove that she actually did it.
She did not know how Victor found this out. But once they got the evidence, the company would definitely fire her without giving her any money. What's more, she probably would even face a trial.
Eden said, "Ingeborg, I've heard everything you said in the restroom earlier. You know very well in your heart who Miss Clark is."
"It's you who said such nonsense to Mr. Alwynn! Mr. Alwynn, you can't believe this woman at all." Ingeborg instantly became confident when she heard Eden's words.
Because it turned out that Eden only heard it in the restroom, but there was no evidence.
Eden looked at Ingeborg and smiled. "I have recorded your conversation. Would you like me to play it when Mr. Alwynn is here?"
Then he pressed the recording button on the phone.
Ingeborg glared at Eden then lowered her head. It would be better to just tell the truth when no one else was around. At least she still could save her reputation in the public.
"Last night, Miss. Clark called me and offered me 200,000 to make sure today's fashion show would not be carried out smoothly. I only knew she is called Miss. Clark, but I don't know who she is. After hanging up the phone, she transferred the money to my account straight away, so that's why I refused to perform this morning. This is everything I know, and I have nothing to do with the car accident and the stealing of clothes."
After saying this, Ingeborg looked up at Victor, only to see that the man was looking at her with a sneer, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
Her body trembled fiercely, and there was a look of fear flashed in her eyes. The sarcastic sneered on Victor's face looked as if she had fallen into his trap.
Eden lowered her head slightly and put her phone away quietly.
Actually, when she heard their conversation, she had no time to record anything as she had just come out from the restroom.
There was no recording on her phone at all. She only did this because she knew Ingeborg would be scared of Victor.
And she knew Ingeborg was not stupid. She surely would know that her whole life would be ruined if the media found out everything. This probably would be the best choice she could have now.
It would not worth it at all to ruin her whole life just for 200,000 dollars.
However, it was not hard for her to earn 200.000 back as a popular model.
Victor said, "I have already recorded what you just said, and we probably would contact you as a witness at any time. Now you can go to get the paperwork done with Mr. Ronen. You breached the company's regulations, so we will not pay you the severance fee. You'd better not make any move yet before we find out everything."
Upon hearing that, Ingeborg nodded quickly. The arrogance that used to be seen in her eyes had already turned into a respectful and humble expression.
Eden couldn't help but sigh. It was really not easy to mess with Victor.
