Chapter 1218

Graciella had been betrayed by Benedict, so she really hated such a thing. As soon as she saw the news, she picked up her phone and called Victor.

Victor had to explain patiently, "Graciella, I am your younger brother. How could I betray Eden?

Someone released the photo on purpose and wanted to ruin the relationship between Eden and me. I will deal with it. Let mom rest assured. I am taking care of Eden at home now."

Hearing Victor's explanation, Graciella calmed down a bit. She asked seriously, "Really?"

"Graciella, I'm a man of my word. How can I make a joke of this?"

"Humph! You'd better deal with this matter as soon as possible. Don't let people spread the gossip again. Even we're sad to see that, let alone Eden. She must be brokenhearted when she saw the news."

Victor looked down at Eden in his arms. Graciella was right. Eden was so angry that she passed out.

"Okay!"

"Alright, take good care of Eden. I'll hang up."

Victor hung up the phone. Looking at the happy smile on Eden's face, he said helplessly, "They misunderstood me, so did you. I am so sad."

Eden rubbed her head against his arms lightly, "There had never been such rumours about you in the past. When I saw the news, my heart suddenly ached and I even had an illusion. I had never been so painful. Then I couldn't see anything clearly and lost consciousness."

Hearing this, Victor felt distressed, "Fool, I should have told you about it last night. It's my fault."

Victor hugged her tightly and knew that she was not at ease.

He waited for Eden to finish the intravenous drip, and he didn't let go of her until she fell asleep.

Then he got up to order takeout for Gia.

When the takeout was delivered, Victor asked Giada to come down and eat with him. He came back in a hurry without having lunch.

After they had lunch, Giada returned to her room to study.

Lucian called Victor.

Victor's eyes suddenly turned gloomy, "Have you found out anything?"

Lucian said, "Yes. Melissa found the manager and said that she had lost something in the restaurant. Then she asked the manager to take her to the monitoring room. After the manager left, she bribed the security guard and took screenshots of the video. She posted the photos online today."

Victor's eyes were full of hostility, which made the atmosphere in the living room turn depressing.

However, he said with a wicked and evil smile, "Fire the security guard, and then post the whole video on the Internet. You know how to write the title."

"Yes! I know. I will fight back mercilessly. Eden was so angry that she fainted. This matter dealt her a severe blow." After finishing his words, Lucian hung up the phone.

After Victor hung up the phone, he called Dean.

"Hello? Mr. Alwynn."

Victor said, "Find out where Melissa is."

"Okay, Mr. Alwynn."

Victor smiled evilly, "Melissa, how dare you play such a trick on me? You'll reap what you sow."

On the top floor, in the Director's office in TS Company.

The office was spacious, bright and luxurious.

Melissa wore a fashionable dress with heavy makeup. Sitting on a leather office chair, she looked at the photo with a smile.

The scene of her and Victor hugging each other was really pleasing to the eye.

How could Eden, the weak woman, deserve to be with Victor?

"Ha-ha..." She chuckled. "Eden, let's see if you're capable enough to go against me."

"Bang..." The door was knocked open by someone fiercely.

Carney walks in in an imposing manner.

Melissa's became nervous as soon as she saw Carney.

"Dad, what are you doing?" She said with a straight face.

Carney glanced at her meaningfully and said exasperatedly, "Aren't you ashamed to ask me? What did you do? Let me ask you. Was it you who posted the photo online?"

Melissa turned to look at the big French window, "Dad, that is my own business."

Carney roared, "Do you think you're very powerful now? Then why do you have to meddle in my business? You can pursue the man you want, so I can pursue the woman I love as well, but you have to stop me..."

"Dad!" Melissa interrupted him immediately.

Looking at Carney who was very aggressive, she sneered and said in a sarcastic tone, "Dad, you're really senile now. Darlene is with you because she wants your money. Since she is no longer young, of course she has to be with a rich man so that she can enjoy the rest of her life. I'm a woman, so I know her well."

Carney was so angry that he wanted to slap her in the face. He had been pursuing Darlene for many years. It was because of Melissa that Darlene refused him all the time, and they had missed each other for many years.

He came to River City to win Darlene's heart, but he didn't expect that Melissa would object to their relationship so much. If he married Darlene, Melissa's life wouldn't be affected at all.

Darlene even gave Melissa the position of design director, but Melissa was still not satisfied.

"Shut up! I have given you my everything. Darlene and I just want to be with each other. As long as we can accompany each other in the future, we will be happy." Carney was extremely angry.

Sometimes, he really thought that he didn't understand Melissa.

He thought that Melissa suffered from schizophrenia again, so he took her to the hospital for a check-up, but there was nothing wrong with her.

"Ha-ha..." Melissa leaned against the chair with her arms crossed and looked up at Carney proudly, "Dad, I will look after you when you're old. Aren't you satisfied with that?"

"Shut up! I'm not here to talk about this with you!" Darlene no longer worked in the company, so he could date her at any time.

But Victor would not let them go after he knew what had happened that day.

"Let me ask you. Why did you do that? Victor was not saved by you, but you hid him. Now you even want to ruin his marriage. What the hell do you want? Do you want to ruin our family?"

Carney knew Victor very well, and Darlene had reminded him once.

Moreover, Victor had been purchasing the shares of his company.

It could be seen that Victor was exceptionally vigorous in work. Alwynn Group and Evans Group had a cooperation, and the Evans family would surpass their family soon.

He was a businessman, so he knew very well how powerful Victor was.

"Ha-ha..." Melissa laughed disdainfully, "Dad, it's not that serious. I did it for fun. How could I ruin our family?"

"Ha-ha..." Carney was so mad but he laughed. Seeing that Melissa showed no sign of repentance, he was worried and angry, "Melissa, you are really childish. Your happiness is built on the sorrow of others. You slander Victor and make his wife be in pain. Is this what you want?"
