Chapter 1156


    Carney smiled, "Mrs. Alwynn, I''ve heard a lot about you. In the past one year, I often heard about


    your design. Your design is the most popr and fashionable nowadays."


    Eden smiled faintly. Her smile was elegant, and her expression was calm and her every move was


    so steady, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Craig. I heard my aunt mention you before."


    "Who is your aunt?" Carney looked at her doubtfully.


    Eden smiled, "You know her, too."


    Eden didn''t make it clear, but she knew that Carney would not get to the bottom of it.


    Melissa didn''t like her aunt. Mentioning her name would only make Melissa hate her more.


    As expected, Eden did not finish her words, and Carney did not ask further.


    Eden''s beauty was unique. Her appearance attracted the attention of all the guests.


    She dressed up in a simple way. Her dress was not the most eye-catching, but she was the most


    appealing.


    Her faint smile was very pleasant to the eye.


    The surrounding guests whispered to each other, "Mrs. Alwynn is even prettier than in the photos


    online. Melissa has lost to her."


    "Of course. She keeps a low profile, but Melissa has been arrogant and wilful. I thought she would


    marry Caleb and hold a grand wedding, but she betrayed him and fell in love with a married man.


    Now she can''t even marry into the Arogon family."


    "Ha-ha... It''s her own fault. She asked for it."


    "Yeah, look at her. She has been looking at Victor with infatuation. Victor deserves to be the most


    handsome man in River City. If I can have something to do with him, I will be as crazy as Melissa."


    "Tut-tut, you are a realdy in ordinary times, but you be a man crazy when you see a


    handsome man. It seemed that I''ve underestimated you."


    "Humph, I just said it casually."


    Their voices were neither loud nor low, and Melissa could hear them clearly. With fierce and vicious


    eyes, she nced at those women who were speaking ill of her.


    They immediately shut up, but they didn''t leave. Instead, they looked at Melissa and smiled


    maliciously.


    Melissa naturally knew how thick-skinned they were. Most of them were brought here by men as


    their temporary femalepanions. Some of them were here to hunt for rich men. Once they left


    here, no one would remember who they were.


    Carney''s face darkened a little. He nced at Eden, "Mrs. Alwynn, why don''t you chat with your


    friends here? I''m going to y cards with Mr. Alwynn. You may feel bored if you go with us."


    When Eden heard this, she knew that Carney wanted to send her away deliberately.


    She gave Victor a reassuring look.


    Victor was worried about her. He looked up and wanted to refuse Carney.


    However, Eden spoke first, "Victor, go ahead. Amelia and Chloe are here with me. You don''t have to


    worry."


    Looking at her with brooding eyes, Victor bit back what he would like to have said.


    He reached out, stroked her red lips with slender finger and whispered to her in a gentle tone,


    "Enjoy yourself and be careful."


    "Okay!" Eden smiled lightly. Victor''s eyes grew darker and he let her go reluctantly.


    Victor''s actions were extremely ambiguous. He seemed to be using his actions to tell everyone that


    Eden only belonged to him.


    Everyone was envious and admired their love.


    Seeing this, Melissa was so mad that her face turned livid.


    She had been prepared, and Victor wouldn''t be able to escaped from here. She not only wanted to


    get Victor, but also wanted to ruin Eden.


    Victor, Lucian and Brian left with Carney after reminding Eden, Amelia and Chloe.


    Even Melissa left with them.

    Before leaving, she nced at Eden provocatively.


    Eden did not care. She believed that Victor would be more vignt and would not fall into their trap


    easily.


    Moreover, people gathered here were all famous and noble in the upper ss. How could the Craig


    family disgrace themselves?


    "Let''s go over there. I''ve been here before. There is a garden, a swimming pool and delicacies


    there, and there are not so many people. We''ll feel morefortable."


    Chloe looked at Eden and Amelia and said.


    Amelia couldn''t help asking, "Miss Craig, your surname is Craig. Do you have anything to do with


    the Craig family?" She would rather be more careful than be framed.


    Chloe crossed her arms slightly, looking more charismatic. She smiled and said, "Miss Macdonald,


    my surname is Craig, but I have nothing to do with the Craig family in this city. I''m from River City,


    and I just work here. We''re from the same city."


    Hearing her words, Amelia rxed her vignce, "Since we''re all from River City, you don''t have to


    be polite. Just call me by my name."


    "Just call me Eden." Eden said with a smile.


    Chloe said, "Then I won''t stand on ceremony. You can treat me as your friend and call me by the


    name."


    They became good friends after brief contact, and then walked toward the ce that Chloe had


    mentioned.


    Along the way, the waiters were busy. There was wine and snacks on the tables on both sides of


    the road, including many special food in this city. The guests could choose whatever they wanted to


    eat.


    No matter which industry one worked in, as long as he could seed and make great achievement,


    the door to his house would be crowded with visitors.


    In this city, the Craig family was in the highest status.


    There were so many guests, which was beyond Eden''s imagination.


    However, Eden suddenly felt that her father kept a low profile all the time. In fact, Zaiden''s property


    was no less than that of the Craig family.


    Zaiden started his real estate business in the early years, and he had owned countless houses and


    shops at this time.


    However, he was not arrogant or impetuous, and he didn''t spend extravagantly nor show off his


    wealth. He just lived the same life as ordinary people.


    She preferred Zaiden''s character and conduct.


    The core of moral standing was integrity and magnanimity.


    Zaiden and Wyatt were such people.


    She was not in a close rtionship with Ashton. Since Bethany had an ident, she had never


    seen him.


    "Eden, do you want some snacks?" Amelia held a te and took sushi and a strawberry cupcake.


    Eden shook her head slightly, "No, Amelia, I want to eat shrimps."


    Chloe said, "The shrimps are in the front. Those are imported Mediterranean red shrimps. They are


    very fresh."


    "Oh!" Eden was interested when she heard that.


    She liked shrimps.


    They went forward happily.


    Four or five women followed them secretly with malicious smiles on their faces.


    The three of them took the food they liked and ate next to the swimming pool.


    Just as Chloe had said, this ce was a bit remote, and there were very few people here.


    asionally, a few people would pass by, but they would not stop. It was not noisy and very quiet.


    "Wow! This red shrimp is really fresh and sweet." Eden ate one and praised it.
