Chapter 1014

Eden nodded. "That's what I think as well. I saw the two of them together a few days ago. And I really don't think that Haven would vouch for Myra for her to get so much money from usury. I just want to make sure that nothing goes wrong."

Victor frowned and looked at her worried face. "She's been treating you so badly since you were young. Don't you hate her?" He could tell that she wanted to help Myra.

He really couldn't understand that.

Eden glanced at him with mixed feelings. "Let's see if it is true."

"Okay." Victor took out his phone and called Brian.

"Hello, Mr. Alwynn."

"Can you check for me if Myra Gienger has a 5 million debt from usury? And is Haven Clement involved in it?"

"Sure, Mr. Alwynn. I'll get back to you in half an hour."

"Okay!" After Victor hung up the phone, he looked at Eden with a smile. "Let's check it out first. We'll get the result in half an hour. Let's go home first."

Eden smiled and nodded. "Okay. You can drive back first. I will ask Kenny and Gia to push me back."

"Alright, I'll park the car first and then come to pick you up."

Eden smiled slightly even though she didn't think there was any point for him to do that.

But it seemed that she already got used to him being so thoughtful.

She sometimes felt that she actually enjoyed it even though she didn't like it.

Maybe it was because she felt secure when he is like this.

When he was not around, she couldn't help but wonder what he was doing.

And did he miss her?

Did he eat well?

She always thought about random things when she was alone, so it would be better for him to stay by her side.

"Okay, it's up to you." she looked at him and smiled gently.

She was quite happy that at least she knew what she wanted in her heart.

Victor also smiled gently, feeling very pleased.

"My wife is getting more and more beautiful now." After saying this, he bowed his head and kissed her on the forehead as if there was no one around before he pushed her out.

"Dad, are you taking mom back?" Gia asked.

Victor smiled and said, "I will drive the car back first and then come back to pick you up."

Giada was a little confused. It wasn't that far away anyway, was there really any need for him to come back?

Kenny said, "Dad, you can go back. We will take mom home."

"Alright. I will come back soon."

The three of them really had nothing to say. It would only take them around six minutes to get back anyway, did he really need to be like this?

Eden smiled. She did not expect that he also had such a childish side.

Victor got in the car and soon disappeared.

Kenny pushed Eden's wheelchair and started walking back as well. Eden couldn't stop thinking about what Victor said to her before that they needed to always treat each other like when they were dating.

Not long after they started walking back, they saw Victor striding toward them. He was still wearing a white shirt and dark trousers, but the simple clothes still made his perfect body stand out.

Giada rolled her eyes.

It seemed that her father spoiled her mother too much.

Eden was about to say something, but she suddenly heard some people arguing from not far away.

"Why do you always make things difficult for me? Why? You are adopted. What position do you have to fight with me? You never deserve the love from mom and dad."

Eden looked over and saw a teenage girl pushed another girl very hard to the ground.

This reminded her of what happened between Myra and her when they were young.

"Kenny, stop," she said in a low voice.

Kenny stopped immediately.

Eden just sat there and watched the two girls quietly.

The girl on the ground had tears in her eyes. She shook her head and explained, "It's not like that.

It's really not like that. I didn't mean it. I didn't know I could get such a good result in this final exam."

The other girl was standing straight like a princess, proudly looking at the girl crying on the ground.

"Liar! I've told you that you shouldn't get a better result than me in any exams. Now you got such a high mark, and my parents are so happy for you. They even asked me to learn from you. Who do you think you are? Why do I want to learn from you?

What is there for me to learn from you anyway? You are just an adopted girl! You'd better not even think about joining my family!"

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it." The girl on the ground kept apologizing, tears streaming down her cheek.

Eden felt it was exactly the same as what she experienced with Myra in the past.

This girl on the ground was just like her who only wanted to fit in the family and get what she dreamed of.

However, the more she was like this, the more miserable her life would be.

Eden looked away slightly, but tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.

She didn't even notice that Victor had already stood in front of her.

It wasn't until Victor wiped her tears that she came back to her senses. She shook her head slightly and said with a smile, "I... I just thought of something in the past. When I was young, I always had a better score than Myra in exams. Myra treated me exactly the same. The girl just reminded me of myself at that time..."

After saying this, she suddenly stopped talking because she suddenly remembered that Victor had been blaming himself for all this time.

She looked up at him and saw that his eyes were full of guilt, just as she expected.

So she suddenly smiled, "Victor, I'm fine. Let's go back."

"Alright." Victor nodded, turned around, and pushed her away.

Kenny and Gia followed them silently.

They both heard what their mother said earlier.

When they walked for a while, Giada looked back at the two girls, and it seemed that they were still arguing.

"Mom, you must feel very sad back then, right?" Giada couldn't help but ask.

Eden smiled, "Gia, it's the past anyway. You don't need to worry about it. I don't think about these things anymore."

It was only because of the argument earlier that triggered it and made her recall the most painful memories in her heart.

She had totally forgotten that Kenny and Gia were also there.

She never brought negative attitudes to the children and made them worry about her.

After that, none of them said anything until they walked home.

Eden just kept her head low all the way home. Her mother was already home, so she put away her emotion immediately and was ready to help her mother to cook.

Jaida knew that Abigail wasn't feeling well, so she called her and asked her and Anson to come for dinner.
