Bethany shouted angrily, "What else could we do besides this? In this world that is filled with deceptions, even if you do not plot against others, others will also scheme against you. We have been set up by this time.
However, we cannot lose our company no matter what. Your father and I have worked very hard to build the company and we have strong feelings for it. We need to have the power to manage the company no matter what."
Antony's face darkened and his tone was firm. "Mom, I know what you mean. If we lose the company, we will have nothing left. Thus, we must find a way to confirm whether that woman is Cyan."
Antony glanced at Lucian's seat. When he saw that the employees were having a video conference, he whispered, "Mom, are you sure that Eden is Cyan?"
He was not familiar with Cyan even though he had lived under the same roof with her. Cyan would often lower her head and he would get irritated by that.
Bethany glared at him and said in a low voice, "I wasn't sure before but she's allergic to mangoes. Her skin has been very sensitive since she was a child. Besides, her skin is fairer than that of ordinary people and her allergies come and go quickly. The doctors said she has a very unique physique. Thus, I am able to conclude that she is Cyan."
Antony glanced at Victor's office strangely when he heard that. He was in a meeting at the moment. Antony had a way to see Victor when his meeting was over.
Antony said, "Mom, you and Dad can rest at the side first. I will meet Victor today. Our company can't be bought by him."Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Bethany still had a worried expression on her face. She said worriedly, "Antony, I am a little anxious. The shareholders could no longer stay calm when they heard that Victor wants to buy our company.
I'm worried that they'll turn against us and that we can't control the situation at that time."
Victor was the ruler of River City. Everyone wanted to get benefits from him. Moreover, the people who work with him would undoubtedly make profits and not lose money.
"Humph!" Antony snorted coldly and said, "Mom, don't worry! We are able to blackmail the shareholders. They can't cause any trouble."
Antony said that to comfort himself and Bethany. After all, many things were unpredictable when money was involved.
Brody sat silently at the side and said nothing.
Bethany glanced at him and said nothing as well.
She knew that her company had been losing money the past few years. She had been trying to improve the situation of the company all along.
At present, what she feared the most was the shareholders awareness of the situation. She would not be able to save the company if they knew about it.
However, what she feared the most was happening at the moment.
Time passed by slowly. Eden saw that the Gienger family was still there when she came back with Amelia after the meeting.
Eden treated them as though they were not there and headed directly to her office.
She was about to enter the office when Antony's voice sounded behind her, "Eden, why do you have to be so ruthless?"
Eden stopped in her tracks. Amelia who was behind her stopped quickly too.
Eden turned around slowly and let Amelia enter the office first.
She fixed her gaze on Antony's terrifyingly grim and handsome face.
It seemed like the Gienger family had already confirmed that she was Cyan. However, she could not admit it now.
After all, the family did not feel guilty about what had happened back then and even treated her badly.
People were greedy. The Gienger family was under a serious threat at the moment and they would not let go of the slightest opportunity.
Eden looked at Antony and her glistening red lips curled into a sarcastic and cold smile. "What evidence do you have to prove that I am Cyan?"
The Gienger family hated her so much that they didn't even have a photo of her when she was a child.
They didn't care about her at all. Eden was confident that the family didn't even know what kind of body characteristics she had.
The only thing they knew was that she was allergic to mangoes and pineapples, especially towards mangoes!
They wanted to confirm that she was Cyan based on just that?
Eden laughed coldly in her heart. They were a little too naive.
Antony was slightly stunned by her question. He looked at Eden's firm gaze and lost the confidence he had a while ago.
He had thought of many ways to deal with Eden if she denied her identity. However, he was tongue- tied when he looked at her confident gaze.
When Bethany saw Eden’s behavior, the anger that she had tried to suppress suddenly burst out.
She got up from the lounge chair and directed her sharp gaze towards Eden. How she hoped that she could tear Eden into pieces.
"Cyan, stop pretending. I can recognize you even if others don't. It’s really ridiculous that you want evidence. You're just an ungrateful person I adopted. You're an ungrateful and heartless person!
"You little scumbag. I will drag you down with me if you let my family go bankrupt."
Bethany was extremely angry when she said that and she stared at Eden sharply.
To her disappointment, Eden remained calm and unhurried and there were no other visible emotions on her face.
It was as though Eden had nothing to do with what Bethany had said just now.
"Hehe..." Eden suddenly smiled coldly. "Madam, I'm sorry. I don't think that you can drag me down with you. My life has just started and I am not as
pessimistic as you."
As a matter of fact, the ending of many incidents could be predicted in the beginning. Everything that happened in between was just to prolong the ending.
Eden felt the same with her and the Gienger family. She had felt guilty a few times in the past but all her guilt had vanished now.
Bethany's face looked terrible when she heard that. Her palms were sweaty and her heart was filled with fear. She started to panic when she confronted Eden who was fearless.
She sneered and said, "Cyan Gienger, it seems that you are well-prepared!"
Eden said coldly, "Bethany, please watch your mouth. My last name is Bleu not Gienger. Besides, you can look at your household register and see if there is a person named Eden Bleu."
"You..." Bethany was about to scold Eden when she suddenly saw Victor and Anson coming out from their office.
Eden looked up and glanced at Victor lightly.
Victor's gaze was fixed on her at the moment and the corners of his lips curled into an almost indiscernible gentle smile.
Eden glanced at him and looked away silently.
