Chapter 399


    Anson admired Eden because she was meticulous in her work.


    He did not want Eden to be affected privately and publicly. After all, it was a critical time at the


    moment!


    The autumn clothes wereing soon and they could not afford to have something bad to happen


    at this time!


    Lucian and Adonis had left.


    Anson closed the office door and left with Buddy.


    Anson was very gloomy the past few days. Abigail was the woman of his dreams but he was not


    necessarily the man of her dreams. They did not share the same interest. The only thought he had


    in his mind now was that love was not always mutual!


    Therefore, he wanted to drink to numb himself!


    Although Victor was the first to leave, he did not start the car after he got in. He had a lollipop in his


    mouth and was enjoying the sweet taste. He looked happily at the video of Eden making dumplings


    for him on his mobile phone.


    In a room with only one table and two stools.


    Eden sat quietly under the dim light.


    About five minutester, someone opened the iron door. The sound of the door being pushed


    seemed cold and ear-splitting in the empty room.


    Eden raised her eyes slowly and looked at Bethany who walked in wearing a blue prison uniform.


    Bethany was slightly surprised when she saw Eden. She didn''t expect Eden was the person who


    wanted to see her.


    She walked towards Eden slowly.


    Eden looked at Bethany. Bethany''s face was pale and she looked haggard and dishevelled. She no


    longer looked graceful and arrogant, and was no different from an ordinary woman.


    Eden called out softly, "Mom, it''s been a while since west met!"


    When Bethany heard Eden calling her mom, she stared at her and sneered, "Why? Are you willing


    to admit that you''re Cyan now?"


    Eden''s gaze and tone was calm. "Because I am Cyan and it doesn''t matter if I admit my identity or


    not. I hate what you did to me back then!"


    She looked at Bethany calmly. She would not ask her why she treated her that way today.


    That was because the answers would often be heartbreaking!


    Bethany was right. She had raised her.


    Bethany had treated Eden badly but Eden had returned the favor to her.


    Bethany sat on the cold stool slowly and looked at Eden in vain.


    She said, "Eden, you should hate me because I have never been kind to you. I did not hesitate to


    send you away for my own benefits.


    You have never experienced the life I have experienced. I am not a person who lives by the rules.


    Do you still remember myst phone call to you? This is your fate and you should ept it!"


    Eden smiled bitterly. She had different feelings when she heard Bethany''s words at the moment!


    She looked at Bethany and chuckled, "I am not you, thus I would not give in to fate. My experience


    might not be as bitter as yours but I will not yield to fate. The more bitter my experience is, the more


    eager I want to rise. Even if it is a bottomless abyss, I would also climb out and see the sun!"


    Bethany looked at her and smiled gently. She was looking at Eden with the present mentality.


    Eden had really grown up. Her every move was confident and generous, and she looked


    morous.


    Bethany was slightly touched. She was not a


    heartless person but was just overwhelmed by reality.


    In order to expand her business, she had lived a hard life all these years.


    However, she was willing to do that for the sake of her family.


    But in the end, reality had stabbed her heart hard like a sharp knife.


    Bethany shook her head slightly and said in a bitter tone, "Eden, I''m scared of bing poor again


    and I''m not as brave as you! I will admit that.


    Everything that I have done was for my family.


    But you have also seen how tragic the result was. Brody betrayed me, Myra is spoiled and Antony


    is inexperienced and indecisive even though he is calm."


    I''m the only one who has been supporting the family. I felt so exhausted over the years. I actually


    feel relieved to end up like this."


    Eden was very surprised to hear that. She didn''t expect that Bethany would repent one day.


    Who could Bethany me for Myra’s spoiled behavior?


    Who could she me for Myra''s selfishness?


    She could only me herself for doting on her ever since she was young.


    She would go along with Myra and help her with everything.


    Bethany had always wanted to mold Myra to look like rich youngdies from wealthy families.


    Hence, the way she presented Myra was by dressing her in the most popr clothes of the season


    and giving her limited-edition bags and others limited items.


    Eden said, "Mom, do you know what I envy the most at home?"


    Bethany looked at her quietly and said nothing.


    After a while, Eden said enviously, "I actually envy how well you treated Kara. Every time after


    school, you would wait at the door for Kara and kiss her forehead with a loving smile on your face.


    You would inquire if she was happy that day.


    I stood behind Kara at that time but you never even look at me."


    Eden stopped talking suddenly and tears flowed down her face.


    Her heart still ached when she thought of the past!


    She bit her lower lip hard and took a deep breath. However, she still felt a tightness in her chest and


    an unbearable pain in her throat.


    She swallowed heavily and continued, "Back then, I hoped to see you smile at me every time I saw


    your loving smile. Therefore, I worked very hard in everything!


    You cut off all my living expenses when I went to college.


    Myra often made me allergic and felt ufortable!


    But I never hated you at that time. That was because I knew I wasn''t your biological daughter. I can


    understand your behavior from your point of view!


    I didn''t want to leave the Gienger family because I felt that it was my home. I wanted to work hard to


    do everything right and I longed to be acknowledged by you.


    I also longed to be a part of your family!


    But I was plotted by you in return. I was really heartbroken by that!"


    Tears flowed down from Eden''s face. She could not get through this hurdle in her heart and had


    been tortured by it for seven years.

    Bethany had mixed emotions in her heart after she heard Eden''s words. She smiled softly and said,


    "Eden, how can there be someone so dumb like you in this world?


    You have obviously sensed my hostility towards you.


    Why did you onlye back to your senses after you were injured badly in a car ident?"


    Eden looked at her and smiled bitterly, "That''s true. I didn''t know what I was thinking at that time.


    Thus, I also felt that I was dumb when I left the Gienger family.


    In order to get your approval, I was not being myself and in order to be a good daughter, I had


    hidden my true self!


    I felt that I was really dumb back then when I think about it now!"


    Eden wiped away the tears on her face when she had finished speaking. She would never shed a


    tear again for the past when she got out of here today.
