Chapter 453 - Eden Humiliated, With No Place To Hide
Pregnant With CEO's Baby
Elaine turned to look at Eden.
At that moment, Eden was furious. His clenched fists were trembling non-stop.
He had never been so humiliated in his life.
He looked at Elaine with a ferocious expression. âI will never let that woman off. Never!â
âLetâs think about how to deal with your own mess first!â Henry said coldly, âI was hoping you would take back the family from Edwardâs hands, but now it seems like I have really overestimated you!â
With that, Henry left in anger.
At that moment, Elaine comforted Eden. âDonât worry. Youâre still young, and I think highly of you.â
Edenâs body tensed as he tried his best to suppress his emotions.
He definitely had to get up again and let everyone look at him in a new light!
â¦
In the president of Swan Enterpriseâs office, Edward walked in holding Jeanneâs hand.
Then, he naturally picked her up and sat her down on him on the huge sofa. The two of them looked very intimate.
Edward asked, âWhy did you let Eden go?â
......
Jeanne glanced at Edward.
She did not think of letting him off. In fact, she planned to use this time to get something on Eden. She would first demean his self-esteem and then send him to prison.
On one hand, she really wanted to take revenge for Eden treating her like that, but seeing that Eden was now going against her everywhere, she had to get rid of the man.
However, Old Master Swan had sent her a message.
She handed her phone to Edward and said glumly, âTake a look for yourself.â
Edward took it and saw a message on the screen. âDonât send Eden to prison. As for the rest, itâs up to you. Take it as your birthday present to me today.â
At the end of the day, Old Master Swan was still cunning.
He rejected Henry during the meeting because he did not want Henry to stir up trouble. When Old Master Swan handed the Swan Enterprise over to Edward, he handed everything over to him. By doing that, he was letting everyone know that Edward had absolute control over the company and they should listen to Edward in the future.
However, Eden was, after all, a descendant of the Swans and was quite capable. If she really sent Eden to prison, Old Master Swan would definitely not be able to take it, so he sent her a message.
She could identify from Henryâs words that she was the key to Edenâs actions this time.
Moreover, it was not appropriate for Edward to let Eden go.
Edward had to be fair and just. What was more, since it was obvious that Eden had offended her, it was a good idea for Old Master Swan to let her settle the issue.
The more Jeanne thought about it, the more she found Old Master Swan an old and cunning fox.
âActually, you donât have to please him.â After reading the text message, Edward said calmly.
âHehe.â Jeanne laughed evilly.
In that case, she could say goodbye to living with the Swans!
Old Master Swan had the final say in the family. If she did not show him respect, would she not be courting death?
Moreover, after removing Eden from his position and dealing him such a heavy blow, Eden would not be able to stir trouble for quite some time. Even if he wanted to, he did not have the ability.
After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to show Old Master Swan some respect.
âSpeaking of which, Edward, do you want me to send Eden to prison?â Jeanne suddenly asked him.
Even though Edward was on her side during the meeting, she still wanted to know what was on his mind.
Edward remained silent for two seconds.
Jeanne furrowed her brows. âYou donât want to?â
After all, Eden was also part of the Swans, and a Swan would always stand with a Swan.
It was just like seven years ago when she asked Edward for help, but he did not in the end.
Actually, when it came to matters involving familyâ¦
She understood.
âIf Eden doesnât take the wrong path, heâs not bad,â said Edward.
Jeanne smiled.
She knew that, deep down, Edward did not want to send Eden to prison. In that case, why did he tell her that she did not have to please Old Master Swan?
What a hypocritical man.
He was just as cunning as his father.
âThe Swansâ business is huge, and I alone canât manage it. Besides, I may not have time to manage it in the future, so someone has to inherit it. Although my eldest brother, sister, and even my third brother want to, theyâre not young anymore. Even if I give it to them, how long can they manage it? In the end, it has to be given to the next generation.â
âSo, you think Eden can do it?â
âEden isnât the best, but he can manage the company reluctantly. Moreover, itâs not too difficult to manage a company well,â Edward said casually.
She thought he was a little arrogant!
To say that managing a company with a market value of 100 billion was not difficult? Who was he kidding?
âDo you think Eden can do it now?â Jeanne asked.
She was worried that the fellow would reuse Eden soon.
After all, Eden was a Swan, and Edward had made it clear that he would be the next successor by having groomed him.
In fact, she was also a little puzzled.
No matter what, Edward was only four years older than Eden. Why did he want to groom Eden as the successor?
With their age gap, who knows if Eden might also be dead when Edward died?
âNo,â Edward said bluntly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jeanneâs eyes moved.
âEden has already gone astray, so itâs very difficult to pull himself back on the right path.â Edward said, âI didnât stop you from sending Eden to prison today because Iâm very clear Eden canât turn back now. So, itâs not a shame to teach him a lesson and destroy him completely. But, of course, you didnât send him to prison. From an emotional standpoint, I think I can accept it.â
âDonât you have any other personal feelings for Eden?â Jeanne suddenly asked.
There was a hidden meaning behind her words.
Edward furrowed his brows.
âIâve dated Eden before. Arenât you jealous?â Jeanne looked at him.
She felt that Edward treated Eden very normally. It was the same as how the elders treated the younger generation.
He was even so sensible to nurture Eden.
Did he not have any selfish motives? Did he not hate Eden?
âIâve gotten my share,â Edward said.
âHuh?â Jeanne looked at him.
Edward smiled.
The man seemed to have become fond of smiling.
âIâve gotten my share, so I donât need it anymore,â Edward said. âNow, my mind is at peace.â
âWhen did you get your share?â Jeanne was suddenly very curious.
Edward looked at her. âDo you want to know?â
âYes.â Jeanne nodded.
She really felt that Edward did not seem to care that she had dated Eden before.
If Edenâs matter had not been exposed, Edward would have treated Eden the same way.
What should be given to Eden would still be given to him.
She looked straight at the man in front of her.
After a long while, she heard him say, âIt has been too long. I forgot.â
D*mn!
She really wanted to swear!
