Chapter 1157
Chloe smiled and looked at the shrimps on her te, "It seems that you really like shrimps. It''s right
to eat shrimps here at this season. The shrimps here are meaty, sweet and fresh."
Eden nodded with a smile. She wore disposable gloves and ate a few shrimps quickly. When she
stayed with the people she knew, she would not eat in a graceful way. If she had to be restricted
while eating, she wouldn''t be able to stand such a life.
In front of Victor, she could do everything as she pleased. She was very happy because he
humoured her a lot.
Although Eden was Victor''s wife, she didn''t put on airs, and she was gentle and easy-going, which
made Chloe rxed a lot.
Amelia ate the dessert with joy and kept smiling.
"Eden, you eat so much, but why do you never put on weight?"
Eden ate much, and she would have midnight snacks everyday, but she kept a good shape.
Moreover, she had given birth to three children. In ordinary times, Amelia didn''t eat much because
she was afraid that she would grow fatter. Sometimes, she was very upset when she put on weight.
Other people wouldn''t put on weight by eating three meals everyday, but she would. During the
Spring Festival, she had nothing to do and studied recipes at home, so she became fatter. These
days, she had a diet and had lost some weight.
Eden looked up at the dessert on her te and smiled, "Amelia, I don''t like sweet food, and I prefer
white corn. In fact, it''s easy for me to get fat, but I used to run and exercise every day. I train
regrly on weekends, so I can be well-shaped all the time."
When she lived in Gate City with Jasper and Abby, she was fatter.
No matter howte Jasper got off work, he would buy delicious food for her. She couldn''t help
eating so much and put on weight.
Thinking of this, Eden suddenly remembered that Jasper was also here.
She stopped eating the shrimp.
ncing at Amelia and Chloe, she said, "Have your meals here. I''ll make a phone call."
Eden got up, walked aside and called Jasper.
It was rtively quiet in a luxurious hall.
The light music made people feel at ease.
Only the pungent smells of cigarettes, wine and perfume were unpleasant.
There were a few tables. Victor, Carney, Brian and a businessman were ying mahjong on one
table.
The four of them sat round the table.
Every man had a femalepanion except for Lucian and Brian.
Sometimes, the waiters came here to to pour tea for them.
Melissa sat very close to Victor. Victor sat there with no expression on his face, and his eyes were
full of impatience. As soon as Melissa approached him, he moved away a little.
"Victor, drink some wine. The cocktail mixed by the bartender here is nice." Melissa handed a ss
of cocktail to Victor.
Brian squinted at Melissa''s movements and cursed Carney in heart. The reason why he sent Eden
away was that he wanted to create a chance for Melissa.
Had the wine been drugged?
Victor couldn''t have an ident again. If anything bad happened to him, Eden would die.
In the past few months, they had been worried about Eden. They were afraid that she wouldmit
suicide in deep sorrow.
Victor acted as if he didn''t hear Melissa''s words. He held a tile in his hand and yed with it.
He pursed his thin lips slightly and stared at the tile Carney had discarded. Then he discarded a
bamboo tile and pushed all the tiles, "Mr. Craig, I win."
"Oh!" Carney smiled, narrowed his eyes and looked at Victor, "Mr. Alwynn, you''re quite lucky. I
haven''t imed a tile to win, but you have won for three times."
Carney paid the money. The winner could get ten of thousands of dors, and Victor had won
hundreds of thousands of dors.
Brian sneered. Victor was lucky, and he was so good at ying mahjong. He could guess what tile
the others would discard so correctly.
In this era, few young people liked to yed mahjong.
They liked to y other games.
Only these old men liked ying mahjong.
Victor didn''t say anything. With an indifferent expression, he leaned back elegantly.
The automatic mahjong machine began to shuffle the tiles, and Melissa put the wine back in front of
herself. She was very embarrassed and looked unhappy.
Victor didn''t even look at her.
He acted as if she didn''t exist.
After the tiles were shuffled, Victor had a look of his tiles. He was about to win again.
He exhaled with depression, nced at the watch on his wrist and felt a little worried. He didn''t
know if Eden had been bullied.
When she was not by his side, he was always worried about her.
The more Victor thought about it, the more irritated he became. Then he moved his ufortable
body.

However, at this moment, Melissa approached him with the wine again.
When she called him by the name, Victor reached out to take a tile and the wine in her hand was
knocked over. The wine was sshed on Victor''s body.
The wine spattered on Victor''s face and lips.
"Oh! Victor, I''m sorry. Are you okay?" Melissa took out a tissue and was about to wipe his clothes.
Victor immediately got up as if he had seen something dirty.
Melissa was stunned. She felt heartbroken as she looked at Victor.
"Miss Craig, except for my wife, I don''t like any woman to touch me."
He said in a warning and ruthless tone.
Looking at the wine on Victor''s face, Brian was somewhat worried. The skin on his face that had
been spattered by wine was a little red.
"Bang!" Brian hit the table with a tile impulsively.
His movement attracted everyone''s attention.
Victor nced at him.
Carney''s face was a bit gloomy. In this city, everyone had to show him respect. Brian was too
arrogant.
"Melissa, what did you put in the wine?" Brian questioned her angrily.
Victor felt a burning sensation on his face. He felt that the wine was strange, but he didn''t doubt
Melissa.
The expression in Melissa''s eyes changed a little. Looking at the empty wine ss, she was in a
very bad mood.
"Nothing. It''s just a ss of wine." Her tone was very harsh. Since the wine had been sshed,
they would have no evidence to prove what she had done.
Victor nced at her with no emotions in his brooding eyes.
He felt abnormally hot on face, and his eyes turned apathetic all of a sudden. The atmosphere in
the hall became oppressive and tense, and everyone felt suffocated.
Melissa''s heart skipped a beat. Victor looked so cold-blooded that she felt frightened in heart. She
suddenly turned to look at Victor''s furious face and couldn''t help but take a step back.
Carney and the businessman were experienced, and they knew there was something wrong with
the wine indeed.
Carney nced at Melissa with disappointment. She was really out of head. She actually did such a
thing and disgraced him a lot.
Lucian got up from another table and walked to Victor, "I''ll send you back to change your clothes."
When they came here, they booked a room in case there would be an ident.
Brian said, "I''m going to find Chloe, Amelia and Eden."
Brian took a cold look at Carney, turned around and left without saying anything.
