Chapter 356
Amelia did not speak when Lucian was not speaking.
Amelia was overwhelmed by the strange atmosphere and she had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead while she was in the elevator.
She hurried out of the elevator when it reached the first floor. She instantly felt that her breathing was smoother.
"Goodbye, Secretary Ronen!" She rushed forward after speaking in an urgent tone.
"Bang!" She had her head lowered and didn't see Haven, who was not far away.
The documents in Haven's hand fell all over the ground!
Haven looked at Amelia and shouted angrily, "What are you doing? Can't you see where you are going? Are you blind?"
"Miss Clement, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" Amelia quickly squatted down to help Haven pick up the documents.
Haven knew that Amelia had attended the interview together with her but she didn't expect her to become the director's assistant.
She could only get close to Victor if she worked on the twenty-fifth floor.
She could not go to the twenty-fifth floor if she did not have important matters.
People really shouldn't compare with one another.
Haven became angrier the more she thought about it. She shouted in a mean voice, "Hurry up! My boyfriend is coming to pick me up soon. His time is precious and you can't afford to waste it!"
Lucian, who was walking out of the elevator, heard Haven words and his irritability turned into rage.
He strode over and pulled Amelia up.
"Thud..." The documents that Amelia had picked up fell to the ground again. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Haven frowned when Lucian suddenly showed up. She would bump into him whenever she went.
"Secretary Ronen?" Amelia looked at Lucian in confusion.
Lucian frowned and said coldly, "You've already apologized to her. Why don't you defend yourself? Why don't you return the favor when she mocked you in a snarky way?
She can look down on you for no reason but you can also retort with contempt and indifference to the person who bragged in front of you."
"Secretary Ronen, I..." Amelia glanced at him. She was very grateful that he had come to her aid but she didn't have the ability to fight with Haven. After all, she was the daughter of the Clement family.
On the contrary, Amelia was just an ordinary person. She laughed at herself.
She looked at Lucian and shook her head slightly. "Secretary Ronen, thank you. It's fine. I'll pick up the documents for Miss Clement first."
She broke free of Lucian's grip as she spoke. She continued to squat down and picked up the documents.
Haven sneered and said, "Secretary Ronen, you want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress but she may not appreciate your help." Her tone was arrogant. She had never been on good terms with Lucian.
She didn’t understand how she had offended Lucian. Lucian had been treating her coldly and he hated her very much!
A touch of disdain flashed across Lucian's eyes. He curled the corner of his lips playfully and didn't bother to talk to Haven.
Amelia who was busy picking up the documents suddenly saw a paternity test report among the scattered documents. She glanced at it quickly and was surprised to see Eden and Aisling's names on it.
She picked up all the documents silently and handed them to Haven.
"Hmph!" Haven took the documents and glared at Amelia before she walked out haughtily.
Lucian also walked out without looking at Amelia.
Amelia looked at their backs. She had complicated emotions in her eyes when she thought about the paternity test report that she just saw.
She knew that Aisling was Haven's mother and also the madam of the Clement family in River city.
But why did Haven do a paternity test on Eden and Aisling?
Amelia thought about it and recalled the scene when she came for the interview. A few women who sat beside her said that Haven was not the Clement family's biological daughter, but was adopted from an orphanage.
If that was the case...
Amelia bit her lower lip slightly and walked out with her head down.
At Eden's home!
Kenny felt slightly relieved when he saw that the situation had been reversed.
He picked up the phone and dialed Victor's number.
Victor had fun with Eden for a day.
Victor and Eden found a restaurant by the sea. They were about to dine when Victor received a phone call from Kenny.
Victor glanced at Eden, who was having fun. He smiled and said, "Eden, sit down for a while. I'll take a call."
Eden nodded slightly. "Go ahead!"
"Okay!" Victor turned around and walked outside.
Eden took out her mobile phone from her bag and glanced at the news that had popped up on the screen.
She had seen the news in the morning. She didn't expect that the paparazzi would follow them here!
However, it did not affect her mood. Fralstin had always been the place she wanted to visit and she had a very good time today.
Her phone rang suddenly. It was from Jasper.
She pursed her lips slightly and answered the call. "Hello! Jasper!"
Jasper was silent for a while on the other end of the phone before he asked, "Eden, are you in Fralstin with Victor?"
"Yes!" Eden did not deny it.
"Eden, have you forgotten what I told you? You will be involved in their family's feud if you get close to
Victor. You have seen today's news. Eden, what do you think I should do with you?" Jasper's voice was filled with pain.
He wanted to fly over and tear Victor apart so badly when he saw the photos of Eden and him holding hands.
There were so many women in the world. Why did Victor have to mess with Eden?
Eden lowered her head. She understood Jasper's concerns. She smiled faintly and said, "Jasper, I know you are very worried about me but Jasper, your perception of Victor is different from mine."
"What's the difference? Eden, have you fallen for him? Eden, I have loved and waited for you for seven years. Why can't it be me? Why?
Am I worse than Victor? Am I not as rich as Victor?
Eden, tell me what I should do to make you love me?"
Jasper's sorrowful voice was filled with helplessness.
Eden who was holding her phone, almost collapsed to the ground when she heard Jasper's words.
That was the first time Jasper had spoken to her like that. It was also the first time she heard Jasper's voice which was filled with pain.
"Jasper, I'm sorry." Eden choked up. She didn't know what else to say except that.
Jasper closed his eyes in pain. He had been provoked by the news today, causing him to lose control.
He couldn't resist the urge to call Eden at night when she didn't call and explain the situation to him. He hoped to hear from her that everything was a misunderstanding.
However, Eden apologized to him instead!
Jasper could feel an excruciating pain in his heart.
After some time, he suppressed the emotions in his heart and exhaled deeply before saying, "Eden, let's continue our conversation after you come back tomorrow night."
Jasper hung up the phone after that.
