Chapter 262


    Anson felt as though he had heard a heavenly voice.


    He greeted Laden and said, "Caden, let''s talk after we finish eating. Victor has also been busy all


    day.


    He must be hungry too."


    Anson was actually the one who was hungry. He had to eat first.


    When it came to the matters concerning Eden, Victor''s fiery temper would drive people crazy.


    "Okay!" Caden smiled and looked up at Victor, who was sitting opposite him. He saw that Victor had


    a sullen expression on his face and he exuded a cold aura.


    Victor matched his reputation. He looked even more handsome than his photos on the magazine


    cover.


    Caden picked up the ss of red wine and said, "Mr. Alwynn, this is the first time we meet. I’d like to


    propose a toast to you." He raised his ss at Victor.


    Victor nodded and slightly sobered up. He picked up his ss, clinked sses with Caden and


    drank the red wine in one gulp.


    He put down the ss and ate his food gracefully


    without saying a word.


    The atmosphere would be oppressive whenever Victor was present.


    Laden seemed a little restrained as he ate silently. The dishes were authentic cuisine in River City.


    They were delicately cooked and they tasted extremely good.


    Anson was already used to Victor''s temper. He would always be full if he pretended that Victor was


    not there when he was eating.


    He would not be at peace most of the time if he cared about Victor''s mood.


    "Laden, the fish here is very delicious. It''s tender, smooth, hot and spicy. I could eat two bowls of


    rice whenever Ie here for dinner. Please eat more." He greeted Laden and did not look at


    Victor throughout the entire process.


    Laden was really handsome. He smiled elegantly and picked up a piece of fish to eat.


    Victor ate silently. In fact, he was not very hungry. He just wanted to wait for Anson and Laden to


    finish their food.


    Victor put down his chopsticks after he finished a small bowl of rice. He gestured for Anson and


    Laden to continue eating.


    He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea elegantly, and leaned against the chair. The light shone


    on his handsome face. His nose was sharp and his lips that were tightly pursed showed a hint of


    perseverance and stubbornness. His facial features were well-defined, as though they were


    sculptured.


    Laden lost his appetite when he sat facing Victor like that.


    He looked at Victor and saw the coldness and arrogance on Victor''s delicate face.


    He smiled. "Mr. Alwynn, what do you want to know about Cyan?"


    He asked bluntly.


    Seeing that Laden finally got to the point, Victor asked in a serious tone, "I would like to know about


    Cyan''s life in the Gienger family. Did she live a good life? The Gienger family adopted her at the


    orphanage."


    Laden looked at Victor with slight confusion when he heard his words. Even though he didn''t know


    why Victor wanted to know about Cyan, he would tell the truth because he had a good rtionship


    with Anson.


    As far as he could remember, Cyan was a pitiful girl.


    Laden thought for a moment and started to talk about the time he first met Cyan. "The Kline and


    Gienger families know each other. Cyan and I were in the same grade in high school but we were


    not in the same ss. As for her life..."


    Her life was not very good. I would see her walking to school asionally. She was very timid and


    was obsequious towards her family.


    However, she was different in front of outsiders.


    I seldom saw her because she would be working during the holidays when she was still in high


    school.


    We would meet each other asionally when the Kline and Gienger families had dinner together at


    the Gienger''s ce.


    Cyan had a younger sister called Myra. I did not like that girl very much because she was not kind-


    hearted. She often yed pranks on Cyan and humiliated Eden in front of so many people. I had


    encountered such situations many times.


    In order to gain approval from the Gienger family, Cyan had always worked hard to be an obedient


    girl. However, for some unknown reason, none of the members of the Gienger family liked Cyan. I


    felt that their adoption of Cyan seemed unnecessary since they treated her like a servant.


    Cyan was good at cooking. The most remarkable thing was that she was still kind even though she


    grew up in such a family.


    The incident that left the deepest impression on me was when Myra didn''t do well in her studies but


    Cyan got first ce in ss. After Myra was scolded by her mother, she sshed a cup of mango


    juice on Cyan, causing her to be drenched in mango juice.


    Cyan seemed to be allergic to mango juice. She fainted when she was pushed down the stairs by


    Myra.


    The Gienger family did not pay for Cyan''s college tuition fees. Instead, Cyan used the money she


    earned from working and the schrship she obtained to finish college. She was very outstanding


    in her design major.


    However, Cyan disappeared after she graduated from college. I have never seen her again since


    then..."


    Caden told Victor everything he knew in detail under his pressure.


    Victor had a terrifyingly sullen expression on his well-defined face. His eyes were dark and deep


    and he exuded a cold aura.


    He knew that Eden would not have a good time but he didn''t expect it to be so bad.


    If she lived in the Clement family, she would be the most favored little princess. To Victor, Eden who


    was innocent, was the source of their happiness.


    Eden...


    Victor''s heart seemed to have been clutched by someone, making it difficult for him to breathe. His


    face was filled with pain.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    D*mn the Gienger family. Eden''s disappearance in the past was extremely strange.


    He hadn''t been away for a long time but Eden was gone when he came back. To this day, he still


    remembered the blinding light and the deafening braking sound.


    Did Eden lose her memory because of a car ident?


    Victor''s heart trembled and he stood up suddenly. An elusive feeling shed across his mind.


    Anson couldn''t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when he saw Victor''s behavior. He had a


    feeling that the Gienger family would be destroyed tonight.


    His heart ached for Eden. He didn''t expect her to live such a difficult life.


    "Caden, thank you. I have one condition. Nobody should know that I meet up with you tonight other


    than the three of us. The Kline family had some coborations with the Alwynn Group because of


    Anson.


    We will continue to coborate with the Kline family."


    Victor spoke suddenly. His deep and powerful voice was filled with dominance and arrogance.


    He strode away after that.


    "Victor..." Anson''s tone was filled with pity.


    Anson felt bitter and sad as he looked at Victor''s lonely and miserable back. How would Victor get


    through tonight?


    Anson was aware of how painful it was for Victor to live through all these years.


    He didn''t want him to know about this initially but Victor insisted. It was better to let Victor know


    because he wouldn''t have to investigate the matter again in the future.
