Chapter 385
Adonis could smell the stench of alcohol on Lucian. He glanced at him and asked, with a frown "Lucian, why didn't you invite me to drink with you?
Why is now not the right time to do that? Isn't Gia alright? She is such a great daughter. It is natural that everybody wants to bring her home and keep her!"
Lucian looked at him deeply when he heard that. He wanted to save Adonis but Adonis was looking for trouble.
Didn't he see the terrifying look on Victor's face?
He said softly, "Adonis, you should pay attention to the occasion when you speak!"
Adonis scrutinized Lucian. He tugged at the corner of his lips lightly and fixed his gaze on Giada. He asked with a smile, "Gia, are you willing to go back with me? There are many ragdolls in my house!" Adonis spoke temptingly.
He simply wanted to bring Gia back to be his daughter.
Victor glared at him coldly.
Adonis lowered his head when he saw that. He believed that Victor wouldn't do anything to him because he was his best friend after all. He continued to smile at Giada.
Eden felt that Adonis would never stop.
Giada smiled and said, "Uncle, even though you like me very much, I still have no reason to go home with you. I'm afraid that you'll be beaten by your mother if I follow you home!"
Victor who had a grim look on his face wanted to laugh when he heard that.
"Er..." Adonis looked at Giada who had a sly smile on her face and suddenly felt that a thunderbolt struck him.
Would he be beaten by his mother if she took a daughter back home?
His mother had been looking forward to having grandchildren for a long time!
"Hehe..." He looked at Gia and smiled. He was about to speak when a clear voice sounded behind him.
"It seems that someone is trying to snatch my granddaughter away from me?" Zaiden's elegant figure slowly appeared in front of everyone. He was dressed in a well-tailored and expensive suit and he stood out from the crowd. He had an elegant smile on his face and his every move was noble and classy!
Zaiden was indeed a sophisticated man.
Everyone's attention was fixed on him the moment he showed up.
Eden smiled and asked, "Dad, why are you here?"
Zaiden looked at her with a doting smile. "Eden, didn't I tell you to wait at home? Why are you also here?" Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Eden said, "Dad, I'm worried!"
Zaiden said, "I know that you are worried! You have let me worry about you! I will deal with the police later. You don't have to bother about that. As long as I am here, no one can bully you!"
Zaiden's words were doting and protective at the same time.
Eden smiled gratefully, showing her bright eyes and white teeth when she looked at the elegant and kind Zaiden.
A noble person could be easily distinguished by his outstanding qualities.
Zaiden had always been an outstanding person ever since Eden had known him.
"Okay!" She nodded gently. For the first time, she felt happy to have a father.
Victor and Jasper were the only ones who had remained calm at the scene.
Lucian had always been calm and polished but when he heard Eden calling Zaiden as her father, there was a look of disbelief on his refined and handsome face.
The newspaper had mentioned that Zaiden was married and had a daughter.
When Lucian looked at the back of Zaiden's daughter, he felt that it was a little familiar but he didn't expect she would turn out to be Eden.
Adonis was in charge of the real estate business so he was no stranger to Zaiden's fame.
He was tongue-tied. He stammered, "Mr. Calder, I... I didn't mishear it, did I? Director... Director Bleu called you... Dad!"
Zaiden said with a playful smile, "Why? You're younger than me but are you more deaf than me?"
"Er..." Adonis felt that he was struck by a hundred thunderbolts. The news was simply too shocking.
Anson had seen the news that Zaiden, the real estate tycoon, had gotten married and had a daughter one evening. He and his mother studied the news for a long time. They wondered who Zaiden's daughter was and how could such a lucky person exist.
Zaiden had family assets worth hundred millions of dollars but he lived a very low-key life. He was a mysterious man in the business world.
Adonis suddenly felt that his mother would not be able to sleep for three days if he went back and told her the news tonight.
After all, Zaiden was the man of his mother's dream when she was young!
Lucian looked at Eden deeply without saying a word.
Zaiden glanced at Victor, who was carrying Gia and his handsome eyes darkened.
He asked with a smile, "Gia, are you okay?"
Giada smiled sweetly. "Grandpa, I'm fine. Wasn't it just kidnapping? I was careless this time. I will be very careful in the future so that you and Grandma don't have to worry about me."
Giada's words were truly pleasing to the ears!
She really liked her grandfather, Zaiden.
"Haha..." Zaiden's hearty and joyful laugh echoed in everyone's ears.
Everyone was infected and had a faint smile on their faces.
Zaiden gently rubbed his messy hair and said in a kind and soft tone, "Gia, you are indeed my granddaughter. It's good that you are alright. Go back with your mother first. I will go back after I deal with the matter!"
Giada smiled and said, "Grandpa, you must come back soon. I will wait for you to have supper together."
"Okay!" Zaiden nodded with a smile. He turned to look at Jasper and said, "Jasper, follow me to the police station."
"I..." Jasper pointed at himself. "Uncle Calder, I want to send Eden and Gia back."
What was Zaiden up to?
Zaiden could have solved the problem alone but why did he want to bring him along?
Zaiden laughed and said, "Yes, you. My assistant is dealing with some things at the moment. You have to drive me there."
Jasper looked at Zaiden’s smile and felt that Zaiden was acting odd and had ulterior motives.
Jasper glanced at Eden and asked, "Uncle Calder, what about Eden?"
Zaiden still had a smile on his face as he spoke, "Eden can drive your car back with Gia. If you are still worried, I can let Eden drive my car back and you can send me to the police station with your car!"
He wanted to prevent Jasper from sending Eden back. After all, he was aware that Victor was Jaida's son.
Victor looked at Zaiden deeply. He somehow felt that Zaiden was helping him!
However, he got rid of the thought quickly!
Why would Zaiden want to help him?
Was it because of Jaida?
Victor said, "You guys go ahead. I'll bring Eden back. Gia's body is full of bruises. I'll bring them to the hospital first."
Victor looked at Lucian and Adonis and said, "Both of you should go to the police station as well."
Adonis retorted quickly, "Why do we have to go there?"
Lucian did not speak. He pulled Adonis and headed the other way.
Adonis had never been able to judge a situation. He had never learned his lesson even though he had suffered many times at the hands of Victor.
