Chapter 1317

"Eden, is he your real brother?" Paula asked with a smile.

Eden nodded with a smile.

She took a piece of chicken and waited for Paula's next words.

"Eden, is your brother married?" After Paula finished asking, she looked at Eden nervously.

Eden looked up at her as if she knew that she would ask such a question.

She slowly swallowed the food in her mouth.

Then, Eden smiled and narrowed her big watery eyes. "Paula, I knew you would ask this question.

But I'll be the first one to disagree with you being my sister-in-law." Her brother was a bit silly and easily fooled. She remembered that she had fooled him when she was a child. But he was willingly tricked by his own sister.

However, she couldn't stand others cheating on her brother.

Paula’s face turned a little sour when she heard that. The Clement family was the second most powerful family in River City. She remembered that the Clement family's adopted daughter had been in trouble with the Clement family before, but she had been too busy working at the time to pay attention to that incident.

"Eden, do I really suck in your eyes?" Paula asked, a little disgruntled. She had only bullied her for a few years in high school, but she hadn't done anything mean to her either.

Eden nodded. "Don't we know each other? Don't you remember what you did in high school? I told you to stay away from my brother."

Eden warned with a serious face. Although her brother was stupid in other aspects, but he was very serious in relationships.

"I'm not really worried though, because my brother has high standards for girlfriend. He really wouldn't like a normal woman yet. My other brother married a woman he liked, so this brother is probably going to marry a lady with a prominent family." Eden said with a serious expression.

In fact, after what happened to Buddy, her mother's thoughts had already changed a lot. She was just saying that to get Paula to change her mind.

The Clement family was not short of money, and there was no need to obtain cooperation through marriage. As long as the children lived happily, her parents and grandmother would agree to their choice.

"A noble lady?" Paula's expression turned instantly disappointed. She was a girl from a poor town in the middle of nowhere and really didn't deserve to marry such a nobleman.

Eden nodded. She wanted Paula to give up the idea of marrying her brother. Because if Paula, who was mean, became part of the Clement family, there would be no peace in her family.

As soon as Paula heard this, she knew there was no hope of marrying Eden's brother. Then she lifted her pretty face proudly, "I'm just asking. Who wants to be your sister-in-law?"

Eden just smiled not breaking her lie, "I knew you didn't have that in mind. I was afraid you would."

Paula was a little angry. "Eden, don't you just despise me? Do you think I'm not good enough for your brother? But I'm pretty."

Paula was very dissatisfied with Eden's arrogant attitude. Many Cinderella could marry her Prince Charming. With her pretty appearance, she could win the favor of her Prince Charming.

Eden also said bluntly, "What's the use of being good-looking? A pretty face isn't the most important thing, a good character is."

Paula felt so wronged that she almost shed tears. "Eden, do you mean that I'm not a good person?"

Eden shook her head while eating. "I didn't say that." Did Paula not know what kind of person she was?

Eden had just seen the look on Paula's face when she was charmed by his brother. It was like a hungry wolf seeing a piece of meat.

Paula just had a flattering smile and seductive expression on her face. Unfortunately, her brother was really a naive man and didn't even look at her.

Paula continued disgruntled, "But that's what you think."

Eden said, "Are you a mind reader?"

Paula pouted and looked embarrassed as if her thoughts had been pierced. "Because I know you."

Eden looked gentle and easy to bully, but she was so fierce that she could make you go to hell without a word.

She remembered that when she was in high school, she was indeed jealous that Eden was good at studying. Eden was pretty but she pretended to be ugly and hid her beauty. Although she was the prettiest girl in the class, she still felt a little dissatisfied.

So she was always trying to make a fool of Eden, but it was always she who ended up making a fool of herself. It had happened many times before.

Eden looked at her with a smile, "Tell me. How much do you know about me?"

She didn't believe Paula knew her very well.

After all, in high school, she didn't give anyone a chance to get to know her. Myra didn't know her, let alone Paula.

Paula pursed her lips. She wanted to say something but was unable to.

How much did she know about Eden? She thought to herself. All she knew was that once Cyan, the adopted daughter of the Gienger family, had low self-esteem and was not a talker. And there were obvious things, like the fact that she was bullied every day, that she studied well and that boys handed her love letters every day.

Paula was a little jealous at the mention of the love letter. She was the prettiest girl of their class, but all those boys handed Eden the love letter.

Paula looked at Eden with some jealousy. "Cyan, do you still remember those boys who delivered love letters to you in high school?"

Victor, who had a dinner party here at lunchtime, had heard that his wife was here. He was just about to push his way in when he heard Paula's words and he froze. Had many boys written a love letter to his wife before?

Eden nodded as she ate, while Paula lost her appetite at all.

"Eden, I've always wondered why so many boys liked you when you were ugly and outdated, and you were nothing but a good student?" She had actually never been able to figure out this question.

Eden looked at her with a smug smile and said proudly, "Paula, ugly and outdated doesn't hide a person's true charm."

D*mn!

Paula was exasperated by her words, Eden, you're too much.

Do you have to be so smug?

If one was so self-conceited, he would be struck by lightning one day!

Eden couldn't help but smile at the way Paula gritted her teeth in anger before she continued to eat her lunch.

"Cyan, do you still remember Irving?" Paula asked again.

Eden looked at her in confusion and shook her head. Back then, she either studied or worked part-

time. She did not remember many of the 48 students in their class.

She only remembered Paula fondly as one of the few people who used to bully her.

"Cyan, I find you really heartless!" Paula's somewhat indignant tone made Eden even more confused.

She blinked her eyes as she looked at the exasperated look on Paula's face.
