Chapter 452
Buddy turned
to look back repeatedly at every step, but Zofia's back could not be seen anymore.
Victor looked at him silently, and his eyes were cold.
After he got off work, he headed here to see Eden.
Seeing Buddy at the moment, he also felt weak. At least, facing the matter of Eden, he was really confused.
Rebecca had been able to drive his mother away, and she could also deal with Eden in the same way.
For the sake of the Jotham Alwynn Group, She would do anything.
The information Adonis had overheard that day had all been recorded. Victor only needed to wait for an opportunity to sweep Rebecca out.
After investigation, he found the Jotham Alwynn Group had another mysterious major shareholder. As long as this person was not Rebecca's man, things would be easy to handle.
But if the man was on Rebecca's side, it meant Rebecca had already secretly arranged her family members to take shares, in order to occupy the Jotham Alwynn Group.
The reason why she would have done this was that she had noticed Victor was going to fight back.
Now that he was sure that his mother was fine, it was time for him to deal a vigorous counterblow.
looking at the bustling night and street, Victor felt lonely in his heart.
And he was feared of loneliness at night. He didn't like being in the house by himself, but he had no one at home.
When Anson was out of town, Lucian came to keep him company once in a while.
But Victor felt that only nightmares would always accompany him, and dawn lights would never fell on him.
Buddy looked at Victor and said slowly, "Victor, I'm sorry!"
Hearing his words, Victor looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Why did you say sorry?"
Buddy said with a look of shame, "When you were at your most difficult time, I didn't help you."
Victor hadn't expected him to talk about this.
He smiled, "Those are all matters of the past. You should forget about it. There's no reason for the Clement family to help me."
"But you and Eden..."
"I love Eden because of her sincerity. When you were all secretly reproaching me for stubbornness and bad temper, only Eden had never blamed me. When she looked at me, she always had a sweet smile on her little face.
She was different from you. When you were persuading me to accept reality and the woman who had forced my mother to leave, she only cared about whether I was happy."
Here Victor stopped speaking.
Every time he had quarreled with his father, there would be no food to eat at home, and Eden would always bring him a meal box.
She had been so young but very sensible and considerate. Every time he thought about her, he would feel distressed, but he also felt very happy. Buddy smiled bitterly, "Victor, this is what our life is like. We grew up under the arrangement of our parents. We're spoiled.
So, at that time, we were not sensible and could not understand your feelings at all.
Ever since we were young, our parents have been talking about the rise and decline of other influential families. We were nurtured under such environments at home.
And then we went to exclusive schools, where kids from rich families were still living their luxury lives."
Buddy thought he had been quite immature back then.
Victor sneered, "That's you, not me!"
Although his father hadn't treated him shabbily with money, in order to get better used to the world, he had been doing part-time jobs during the holidays.
He had worked as a courier and donated all his income to the children in poverty.
At that time, he had been wondering if Eden could be found among those children.
If so, Eden might have benefited from the money he had donated.
He had insisted on doing charity till now. And he firmly believed was that the more love he gave out, the more he would get in return.
Time proved everything. He had got a lot of things now.
He had brushed plates for a month and given his salary to beggars as well as the old woman selling vegetables on the roadside.
At that time, he had kept doing such things, hoping God could hear his prayers.
He had prayed that Eden could live well and wait for him to take her home.
He had been busy running about in the streets and alleys since high school. He had seen a lot of things that he couldn't see before. He had known that life was not easy, but he hadn't expected that many people were struggling in the abyss of suffering.
He had hoped he could come across the little girl he had lost someday.
When night came, he would look behind in spite of himself to see whether a little girl with a sweet smile was standing behind him, holding a strawberry lollipop in her hand.
"Victor, do you want to eat lollipops?"
Every night, he had been looking forward to seeing her. At that time, he had been very lonely when walking alone in the darkness.
He had missed that sweet smile on her little face.
"Victor, what do you think I should do? I can't live without Zofia." Buddy suddenly said.
Victor slowly retracted his thoughts and looked at him. He was also distressed during this period.
After a long while, he said, "Wait."
Upon hearing this, Buddy had no other choice but to say, "Okay, we'll wait!"
Victor took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back. My car is in front."
"Alright. Mine is over there."
The two men took a look at each other and went home respectively.
Eden, who had been used to the nine-to-five jobs, had quickly adapted to the life in River City.
Time passed in the blink of an eye. Eden had been living comfortably over the past half month. No one had been making trouble with her. No rumors were scolding her on the Internet either. Her work was also proceeding very fast.
And in this half a month, something had happened.
Vincent and Haven had been engaged, and the engagement banquet had been very grand.
Many people in the circle had attended it.
Her father had also gone there, but he hadn't anything about it.
On the next day of the engagement, Haven came to work with a diamond ring as big as a pigeon egg, shocking everyone in the company.
When Eden arrived at the office, Amelia ran to her and began to gossip.
She said with a smile, "Director Bleu, have you heard what happened to Haven?"
Eden looked at her and smiled. Her bright eyes looked like bright stars, twinkling, which perfectly set off her sweetness. "Yes. All the people in the company are talking about her, aren't they?" Amelia said enviously, "I saw Haven's diamond ring when I came up just now. It is rather giant."
