Chapter 1396

Looking at Dahlia who was packing things, Irving hesitated for a while and said, "There is a dinner party tonight. Attend it with me."

Although Irving's tone was bland, Dahlia was like over the moon. Finally, he was willing to take her to socialize.

"Okay!" She smiled brightly and nodded, "Then let's go there after moving things to the apartment."

"Alright!" Irving sat back on the sofa quietly and closed his eyes to rest.

Dahlia smiled happily and asked, "Where are we going?"

Irving answered her with his eyes closed, "River City Restaurant."

"I see!" A hint of joy appeared in Dahlia's eyes, and she smiled faintly.

Coincidentally, Eden and Victor went to River City Restaurant for a dinner party, too.

After Eden told Mary to take care of the children, she and Victor went to River City Restaurant.

River City Restaurant was owned by Victor, but no one knew this except for Victor's several friends.

Rich and powerful people all met their clients here. The environment was so luxurious, and the main reason was that the dishes here were really delicious. Eden would never get tired of eating them.

That day, they had an appointment with a couple who were deep in love with each other. They chatted happily and reached an agreement easily.

Halfway through, Eden said, "I'm sorry." Then she got up and went to the bathroom.

When she came out of the bathroom, she bumped into Dahlia.

They came face to face with each other. Eden was a little surprised to see her here.

Dahlia looked at Eden. No matter how much time had passed, Eden still looked so young and beautiful. Her pretty and clear eyes were the most attractive. Dahlia hid the jealousy in her eyes and greeted Eden with a smile, "Director Bleu, what a coincidence."

Eden looked at her and smiled politely, "Nice to meet you, Miss Grant."

Dong smiled slightly. She had a plastic surgery and came back with another identity. Did Eden really fail to recognize her?

Or was she just pretending not to recognize her?

In fact, no matter Eden had recognized her or not, it seemed that they could never be on good terms.

The two men she loved both had something to do with Eden.

Haven and Rebecca had been sent to prison, so she wouldn't deal with Eden openly.

She could use Melissa as a scapegoat.

She smiled and said, "Director Bleu, you were injured two days ago. Why don't you rest at home?"

Eden listened to her insincere words and maintained a generous smile, "Thanks for your concern, Miss Grant. It's not a big deal."

"It's good that you're fine. I saw the news today. What Miss Craig has done is really annoying, and my company has suffer a great loss. Fortunately, the news clarified the misunderstanding between you and Mr. Alwynn."

With the video played in public that day and Eden's answer to the media, even the stupidest person could know that Melissa had played some dirty tricks.

People deceived and blackmailed each other in the business world, and this was something normal.

However, in netizens's eyes, this was a shameless behavior.

Melissa's words turned all her previous efforts into nothing.

Eden sneered in heart. Dahlia's attitude made her feel strange.

She didn't expose that she was Paulina, but they all knew this fact.

"The reporters like to make groundless accusations, and it's impossible to guard against them. But the wise man knows he knows nothing, and the fool thinks he knows all. I firmly believe that those who frame others will reap what they sow. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After finishing her words, Eden didn't want to talk to her anymore and walked out.

Dahlia turned around and looked at her slim back with a vicious smile.

If Irving knew that Eden was here, what would he do?

After returning to the private box, Dahlia looked at the clients with an apologetic smile and then whispered in Irving's ear, "Irving, I met Director Bleu on this floor just now."

When Irving heard this, a touch of tenderness flashed through his eyes. The smile on his face exposed his mood. Even his dark eyes lit up in an instant.

Seeing the change of his expression, Dahlia was overwhelmed by jealousy. Irving indeed loved Eden so much. She only mentioned Eden, but he showed such a gentle expression.

Love was just like this. A man's mood could be affected when he heard the name of his beloved woman.

When she met Irving in the past, he was steady and wise, and she soon fell in love with him. She wanted to be loved and spoiled by him.

Because only when he doted on her could she have the qualification to live a rich life.

But Irving was just perfunctory to his father. He agreed to be her fiance just to make his father rest assured.

She was a woman, and she wanted a man who loved her very much. She hoped that her man could be only tender to her.

But true love was hard to get in such a big world.

Irving looked at her, "Dahlia, accompany them. I'm going out to smoke."

After Irving finished speaking, he bowed to the two women opposite him politely and went out.

Staring at his back, Dahlia smiled weirdly.

The road to happiness was strewn with setbacks, and she was not in a hurry.

She turned around and looked at the two female clients, smiling and chatting with them.

Irving went out of the private box. He did walk to the smoking area.

He had thoroughly understood Victor's background. Victor was like a giant standing at the peak of the pyramid. It was really for him difficult to succeed in a short time.

Even if he wanted to attack Victor, it seemed to be of no use.

"Phew..." He blew a puff of smoke and lowered his head with annoyance. The expression on his face was solemn.

However, he was unwilling to give up. "Eden, what should I do?" He said in heart.

In the past, he lived in confusion.

If he hadn't fallen in love with Eden, he wouldn't have felt confused in life, and he wouldn't have become silly in life.

He really didn't know why he had been so persistent these years. He couldn't figure out the reason, and his heart was in a mess.

Irving walked forward dejectedly.

When he reached the end of the corridor, he saw Eden talking with a woman at the corner.

Eden met Maureen on the way back to the private box.

It seemed that Maureen came here to socialize. She was drunk and ran past her in a hurry.

She was worried and followed Maureen to have a look.

Maureen vomited in the bathroom for a long time before coming out. Seeing that her face was pale and she was about to fall down, Eden helped her sit down in the resting area at the corner.

"Maureen, you haven't recovered. You're hurting yourself now." Eden was very angry because Maureen didn't care good care of herself.

Maureen looked at her weakly and said with a smile, "Eden, thanks for your concern. I don't work in Jasper's company now. I started my own business, so I have to attend such a party and drink." She said very calmly.
