Chapter 1654


    Karlee said hello to Buddy and Zofia then came inside with Eden.


    It was so busy here at night, and the lights were shining on the street as if it were daytime.


    Not far from them, Leni and a man in a suit were standing in the crowd.


    "Madam, Miss Woods and Mrs. Alwynn are having food here right now." The man in the suit


    whispered.


    Leni smiled coldly. This would be a good gift for Victor. Her gaze was contemptuous as she


    sneered. "No wonder she didn''t want Stephen anymore. It turns out that she is friends with the


    Alwynn family now." After saying this, she suddenly realized that she said something stupid. The


    Woods family was more wealthy than the Alwynn family.


    Karlee got rid of her grandson, which made her very angry.


    If Stephen had a son, she would not need to worry about inheriting the whole Simpson family


    anymore.


    However, she didn''t expect that Karlee would be so heartless and got rid of the baby. She would not


    let any of them get away with it.


    "Keep an eye on them. I want to know Eden''s whereabouts at any time." She turned around and


    disappeared into the crowd after saying this.


    ......


    The yard in the back of the shop was much quieter. The shop was located in the city center, so it


    always got really busy at night. The Upper East night market was the only food market that


    remained in River City, so there were more and more young people starteding here more


    regrly.


    "Eden, this is such a good ce to do business. The owner here must be very rich." Karlee looked


    at the kapok flower in the yard with an envious face.


    The backyard was covered with ss ceilings, so it was not cold at all, but at the same time, they


    still could see the beautiful stars in the sky.


    Karlee looked Eden up and down carefully at this time.


    The more she looked at Eden, the more pretty she felt Eden was. She felt Eden''s features were so


    delicate, and her skin was so fair as well.


    "I saw your scratches on your forehead two days ago, but they arepletely gone now. You


    recovered so quick." Karlee said enviously.


    Eden smiled and said, "They are just some scratches, so it didn''t take long for them to heal." As


    long as the wounds were not too deep, they would always be gone very quickly on her skin.


    The medicine Victor gave her was very expensive. There would not be any scars on her body. She


    actually had a lot of scars from before, but all the tough times had already gone.


    "You have such nice skin! I''m so jealous. I wish my skin was like yours." Karlee really wished that


    her skin would not be so easy to have pimples.


    "I know a very good beautician. I can introduce her to you one day." She had to thank Sean for that.


    Sometimes she thought it was a pity for Sean to be a man.


    "Sounds good! I have spent a lot of money on my skin. It seems that I just need a better beautician."


    Everyone wanted to be pretty, especially when she was rich enough, she would like to pay anything


    to make her skin better.


    "I''ll take you there on weekend then. He''s very busy, but we don''t need to make an appointment if


    you go with me."


    She always felt guilty towards Karlee. Nothing would have happened if Karlee didn''t let her parents


    found out that she was pregnant, and Eden felt she had some responsibility for this.


    "Eden, Miss Woods, here are the shrimp and fried rice noodles, as well as the seafood congee.


    Zofia is doing the barbeque for you," Buddy said and put the dishes on the table.


    Buddy knew Eden couldn''t eat much, so he prepared very small portions for different dishes so that


    they could try more food.


    "Thank you, Buddy. Do youe here to help every night?"


    "Yes. I don''t work on weekends anyway, and now mom is taking care of Glenn, so I cane here


    more often."


    Eden joked, "You just miss Zofia too much, don''t you?"


    Buddy''s face instantly turned red. He bowed his head and smiled, tacitly agreeing.


    Hearing this, Karlee said enviously, "Zofia is so lucky to have you, someone who loves her so


    much."


    "Miss Woods, you will definitely meet a man who loves you very much as well." Buddy looked at her


    and said. He couldn''t tell Karlee was not an ordinary girl, and he also wanted Eden to have more


    nice friends.


    "Thank you," Karlee smiled brightly. She was still young anyway, so she would meet someone who


    loved her very much.


    "You should eat now. Let me know if there is anything else that you want." Buddy smiled and went


    to serve other guests.


    "Karlee, let''s start now. Zofia is very good at cooking. This seafood congee is very nutritious, so you


    should eat more." Eden filled a bowl of the congee and handed it to Karlee.


    Karlee started at Eden for a few seconds, then her eyes turned slightly red. She remembered that


    even Stephen had never treated her like this when she was sick.


    But Eden was so good to her even though they hadn''t met each other for long.


    "Thank you, Eden!" She felt warm in her heart. She believe that there were always people in the


    world who cared about her, and she deserved a much better man than Stephen.


    She took a few sips of the congee, and her whole body instantly warmed up.


    They had food and chatted for a while, then both went home at nine o''clock.


    There was still no one home when Eden was back. She was surprised. She took out her phone but


    there was no missed call or any messages.


    She looked at her phone and felt a little anxious. Was Victor angry at her as she went out tonight?


    She pressed Victor''s name in her contact list, but no one answered the phone. She called him two


    more times, still, no one answered.


    She frowned in confusion, getting a little irritated in her heart. She didn''t understand why he had to


    be so narrow-minded. She only went out to see a friend.


    She then called Lucian.


    "Eden," Lucian answered the call quickly.


    "Lucian, is Victor with you?" Eden asked.


    "Yes. Something happened in thepany. Victor is on the rooftop, so he might not have the time


    to answer the phone."


    Eden held her phone tightly. On the rooftop? Did anything happen?


    "Lucian, what happened?"


    "Eden, you don''t have toe over here. Victor and I will get this sorted," Lucian said.


    "What the hell is going on?" Eden sounded anxious. There had never been any ident happened


    in thepany.


    "There was an employee who jumped off a building."

    "What?" Eden was socked, "Then..."


    "He''s dead," Lucian said before she finished her sentence.


    "So, Victor didn''t answer my phone, but was taken away for investigation?"


    "No, we are still in thepany."


    "I''ll be right there." Eden immediately hung up the phone and was ready to drive back to the


    company.
