Chapter 185
âAnyone outside the Hartley family, the Wilson family, and the Reese family, I dont need to investigate at all Eden laughed smugly
Cornelia sneered and splashed her drink at Eden, âEden, if you dare to hurt me again, I can guarantee that someone will make your life worse than death âHaving worked with Eden for a while, Cornelia had a fair understanding of this disgusting man
He was the kind of guy who bullied the weak and feared the strong If she could make him believe she had powerful backing, he would send someone to investigate, and she could buy
herself more time
But what Cornelia didnât expect was that Eden had tried to kill her more than once.
Eden wiped the water off his face and had someone bring him another mysterious drink, âLittle bitch, if your husband is as powerful as you said, why didnât he find out that I was behind
the car accident last time?â
âWhat did you say?â Corneliaâs calm face showed a trace of panic
Having known Cornelia for so long, itâs the first time Eden had seen her look so terrified. He felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment
He said, âNot long ago, when you were going home after a meal with friends, a car suddenly rushed towards you. That was no accident. I planned it all. Too bad youâre lucky enough to have escapedâ
After a short period of panic, Cornelia quickly regained her composure, âYouâve done a lot of bad things, Iâll remember them all and pay you back double somedayâ
âAnother day? You think youâll have a someday?â Eden approached her with his cup, âDrink it yourself, or have my men feed you, your choice.â
With every step he took towards her, Cornelia took a step back.
The people in the room were extremely excited, some even doing disgusting things in public. Cornelia couldnât help but suspect the drink might be laced with drugs.
No matter what, she couldnât drink it!
Watching her dodge, Eden wasnât in a hurry. He seemed to enjoy the game of cat and mouse, âRun, keep rurining, letâs see where you can runt to.â
The door was locked, the open window was the only exit from this room, but Cornelia hadnât forgotten this was the 18th floor.
If she jumped out the window, sheâd end up dead like the girl from two years ago.
A light bulb went off in Corneliaâs head, Skyline Tower, 18th floor, the girl who jumpedâ¦
Everything that happened today was eerily similar to the incident two years ago.
Could it be that the girl didnât jump from the 18th floor two years ago, but was forced?
Because of this speculation, Cornelia felt a chill down her spine. âDid the girl who jumped from here two years ago have anything to do with you?â
Eden laughed. âI didnât expect you to figure it out, youâre really smart. But what does it matter if I forced that girl to her death? The police didnât find any evidence at the time, let alone now its been over two yearsâ
âEden, do you really think the Petersen family can do whatever they want?â Murder, kidnapping, causing public disturbances, drug abuse, any of these charges would be serious, yet Eden could talk about them so casually.
Eden didnât want to waste any more time, âHold her down.â
Several people obeyed the order and stepped forward, Cornelia had no way to retreat and was pressed against the wall. Before she could struggle, the cold cup was pressed against her lips
Cornelia clenched her teeth and glared defiantly at Eden
