Chapter 227
Aisling looked at the eloquent Eden with a frown.
Eden's clear and bright eyes seemed like they could see through people's thoughts.
Haven's long eyelashes trembled slightly when he saw that Eden was different from other people.
On the other hand, Aisling felt as though there was a burning sensation on her cheeks.
She felt like she had been slapped by Eden even though her words were not vulgar.
Haven saw Aisling's darkened face and advised her, "Mom, don't bother arguing with this type of person. People like her who live at the bottom of the hierarchy could only get what they want by dirty means apart from having a sharp tongue."
Eden did not wait for Aisling to speak. She asked coldly, "Haven, what do you mean by this type of person? Does it refer to people like you who take advantage of your power to bully others? Or does it refer to women like you who would take revenge on others when you can't get what you want? Is this what you mean by this type of person?
The Clement family is indeed rich but I will not be envious or jealous, nor would I rely on the Clement family to earn a living. If you want to show off, you can go to the TV station and do so in front of the citizens in the country. They would be envious and jealous."
Eden didn't leave when she finished speaking. She felt a sense of laziness envelope her body instead.
She stood at the same spot and watched the interesting and complex expressions on Haven's and Aisling's faces.
Her eyes were crystal clear, as if there was nothing in the world that could pollute them. Her cherry lips were delicate.
She exuded a pure and clean aura.
"Clap clap..."
Suddenly, a clapping sound came from the door of the elevator.
Eden, Aisling and Haven turned to look at the direction of the sound.
It was Lucian. His tall figure was dressed in a slim, casual, and well-cut suit that outlined the curves of his body perfectly. He exuded a noble and dazzling aura.
He looked at Eden with a gentle smile. It was the first time he saw Eden like that. It was really eyecatching.
"Secretary Ronen..." Haven's face suddenly turned pale.
Lucian did not look at Haven or Aisling. He walked straight towards Eden instead.
"What a coincidence. Eden, are you also here to shop?" His tone was gentle and affectionate.
He stared into her beautiful eyes that deeply reflected his figure. Her eyes were sparkling, as if they were embedded with obsidian.
Eden smiled and nodded. "Yes! Secretary Ronen, I have nothing to do during the weekend, so I came out for a stroll and also to familiarize myself with River City." "Eden, you can call me Lucian when you are not at work!"
He never forgot about her bright eyes and faint smile when he first met her.
"Well, I don't think it's appropriate!" Eden tried to imply that they were not familiar with each other.
Eden and Lucian chatted and they seemed to have forgotten about Haven and Aisling who were standing at the side.
Haven was very jealous when she saw that Eden had a good relationship with the men.
She had initially thought that Eden would be insulted by Aisling's words but they were slapped hard by her clap back. The most embarrassing part was Lucian had witnessed the incident.
In the eyes of outsiders, she was gentle and lovely.
However, her actions today made her feel that her many years of disguise were in vain.
Victor, Anson, Adonis, and Lucian were all good buddies. Today's incident would definitely reach Victor and Anson's ears.
