Chapter 441
The planning meeting had lasted for more than an hour. Eden sat taking notes of every proposal put forward. After returning to her office, she started to work again. Among her most memorable moments in the past few years was the time when she had gained success. Every time she looked back on it, she felt quite lucky.
Later, she found Anson was not in the office. Hadn't he come back yet?
Eden took a look at her cell phone. It was almost lunchtime for Ricky.
Today, he was shooting on location, and he would do stunts in the air with wire ropes. She was quite worried about him.
So, she called him.
Eden hadn't expected the call to be answered immediately.
"Hi Mom, how are you doing? Have you eaten yet?" Ricky asked happily.
Eden smiled, "I am well, and I will go to have lunch soon. You told me that you were shooting on location today. Have you finished?"
"There is one more fight scene in the afternoon. And we will shoot in a studio tomorrow. Please don't worry. Abigail is taking good care of me!"
"Ricky, I know she is. Is Abigail in a better mood recently?"
"Uncle Anson has been accompanying her these past few days. He and Abigail dined out and went shopping every day. Sometimes, they went to the movies, and I hung out with them several times. But this morning, he has already returned home. I bought a gift for you, and Uncle Anson will pass it on to you. I'm sure you will like it."
"Wow, you're so sweet!" Eden smiled happily.
"Baby, promise me you will take good care of yourself during the shooting."
"Mom, I promise you. Please go to have your lunch now. I need to recite the lines first. I have a lot of lines."
"OK! My son is working hard."
Eden hung up the phone, feeling somewhat sorry for Ricky.
She then smiled slightly and recalled the hard days. Luckily, she had three children with her. They had made her full of positive energy and fearless to any difficulties. Her face was full of an irresistible pride
now.
There was nothing to be afraid of when you encountered difficulties. Every cloud had a silver lining. As long as you didn't give up on yourself, you would have another opportunity in your life.
When Eden got to her feet, tidying up her desk, Amelia got back from the bathroom.
She stood at the door and said, "Director Bleu, let's go to lunch."
"OK!" Eden nodded.
She turned off the computer and walked to Amelia.
They would go to the company's canteen.
As soon as she got out of the office, she met Victor and Lucian.
Victor looked at her. She was still wearing flat shoes, so he assumed that her feet were not recovered yet.
When Victor suddenly came into her sight, Eden thought of Amelia's words. She couldn't help but look at him.
He was wearing an expensive hand-made shirt and black trousers as usual. He had well-defined facial features and flawless skin. His thin lips looked ruthless but extremely attractive.
Victor looked at her quietly and slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
Lucian took a small step forward. There was not much emotion on his handsome face. He glanced at the two women and said with a lukewarm attitude, "Hello, Director Bleu and Miss Amelia. Lunch together?" Eden nodded slightly,"Sure!"
Anyway, they were going to the same place for lunch. How could she reject him?
They then took the elevator to the canteen.
Haven didn't walk out of the company until she saw the four of them had all gone to the cafeteria.
She was so cautious. She would not be caught by Victor this time, would she?
She walked to the road behind the company building and quickly took out her cell phone to make a phone call.
"Where are you now?"
"Haven, look ahead. My car is parked on the side of the road. Keep walking forward."
Haven hung up the phone. She looked straight and saw a white car ahead. She sneered and strode towards it.
Everything she had now was a gift from Heaven, and no one was allowed to take it away.
Even the Clement family's biological daughter was not allowed.
Haven Clement must be the only daughter in the Clement family.
She quickly walked to the car, handed the two sealed bags to the man through the window. In the bags were Eden's and her mom's hairs. She had gotten some hairs from her mom last time, and now they could be of use.
She looked at him and said, "Don't go to any large hospital for the paternity testing. Spend more money and find someone you are familiar with. I want to know the results as soon as possible. I will transfer the money to you later." Her tone was low. Vincent was busy these days and couldn't pick her up from work. In order to compensate her, he gave her a sum of money, which came in very handy.
Sure enough, every problem could be solved as long as you had money.
"Got it. I'll give you the results at this time tomorrow." After saying that, the man drove away.
Not far away, Buddy was getting out of his car.
Suddenly, he saw Haven talking to a strange man and handing over something. He stood in the distance and didn't see what it was.
When the car passed him, he glanced at the license plate and secretly remembered it.
Haven, however, stood rooted to the spot, staring blankly.
Buddy walked to her and said in a toneless voice, "Haven, why are you here?"
As soon as Haven heard his voice, she quickly came to her senses, staring at him frightenedly.
"Bu... Buddy, when did you come here?" There was a hint of nervousness in her tone.
Buddy frowned slightly. Everytime Haven did something wrong, she would have that expression on her face.
He remained relaxed as usual, slightly raising the corner of his mouth. "I just parked my car over there. I came to visit Victor and happened to meet you. Come on, let's go to your company." Haven smiled warmly, "Okay. Mr. Alwynn has gone to have lunch. He should be back when we get to his office."
Buddy looked at her deeply and asked, "Haven, I have always wanted to ask you a question. Since you were a kid, you have been into Victor. Why did you have to marry Vincent? Vincent is not a person worthy of committing a lifetime."
Upon hearing this, Haven felt bitter in her heart.
She said sadly, "Buddy, you know that Victor has someone else in his heart. There is no possibility between him and me. Moreover, Vincent and I... we're already together now. I can only marry him.
I know he is not perfect, but I believe he will be better when he has a family in the future."
Haven was deceiving herself. How could a person like Vincent care about his family?
Ricky, she believed that the darkness would be lit up as she endured it. One day, she would live a better life than anyone else.
