"Amelia, are you speaking ill of me? Do I have impure motives?" Victor's bland voice came from behind.
Amelia was startled. She immediately turned around and looked at Victor with a smile, "No... Mr. Alwynn, how dare I speak ill of you? I was just chatting with Eden. I promise that I didn't speak disparagingly of you."
Victor looked at them with brooding eyes, "So, were you talking about me?"
Amelia smiled awkwardly and glanced sideways at Victor, feeling a little flustered.
Talk of the devil and he came. It seemed that she really couldn't say unkind words about others.
Moreover, Victor was her superior. Perhaps he would give her a lesson.
"Ha-ha..." Amelia smiled, and her forced smile had obviously betrayed her.
Victor looked at her and frowned.
"Mr. Alwynn, I only mentioned you, and we didn't talk much about you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Eden. How could I put you down in front of her?"
Eden was speechless. Amelia was quite cunning. She refused to admit what she had said in the blink of an eye.
However, Eden almost laughed out loud when she saw Amelia's embarrassed face.
It was really awkward to be caught on the spot.
"We didn't talk much about you. Victor, where did you go?"
He left in a hurry, and she thought he had something urgent to deal with.
Victor glanced at Amelia and did not intend to pursue the matter.
Amelia looked at Eden and then ran back to her office with an innocent smile.
Watching her leave in panic, Victor always felt that she had a guilty conscience.
"Eden, I went out to deal with something. Let's go into the office first." Victor took Eden's hand and walked inside.
Eden looked at him doubtfully, "You left in a hurry, so I thought something bad had happened."
Victor turned to glance at her. He knew that she would worry about Jasper, so he might as well go there to see him.
Jasper really made him very worried.
"You're worried about Jasper, aren't you? I went to see him. He's all right."
"You went to see Jasper!" Eden was quite surprised. In the past, Victor was so proud, and he would never do such a thing.
"Yep!" Victor poured her a glass of water, sat down beside her and poured out three pills from the bottle. Then he put the pills in her hand and let her eat them.
Eden looked at him with complaints, "Should I keep taking the pills?"
Victor rubbed her head with doting eyes, "Yeah, you can stop having the pills in a few days. Don't you want a child? You have to be in better health before you can get pregnant." Generally speaking, she would not doubt this reason.
When Eden heard the word "child", she didn't hesitate anymore and ate the pills obediently.
Eden handed him the glass and asked, "Is Jasper really all right?"
Victor smiled and said, "Yeah, you don't have to worry about him."
"He and Maureen..."
Victor interrupted her with a smile, "Eden, I didn't see Maureen, so I don't know if they get along well now."
However, he guessed that the relationship between them would not be good.
Since Jasper was so mournful, Maureen had to suffer.
"Oh!" Eden nodded, feeling a little sleepy.
"Victor, have I gotten used to taking a nap recently? Why am I so sleepy at this time everyday?"
Victor knew that she got sleepy because of the drug's effect. He smiled and said, "Of course. Once you form a habit, it becomes natural to you. Go to sleep. Lucian and I will deal with the rumours online."
"Okay!" Eden felt listless when she wanted to sleep.
Victor sent her to the room to rest.
He watched her lie down and left after she fell asleep.
He knew Lucian so well.
His heart was as solid as a rock. He would not be bound by anything and lived as he liked. His mood was the calmest and the stablest. He was unworldly and had lofty disdain for others, and he was not an enthusiastic man.
The expression on his handsome face didn't change much. Even if he had mixed feelings, he wouldn't show it.
In fact, Victor was surprised that Lucian would fall in love with Amelia.
Victor thought for a while and dialed Amelia's number.
Amelia fled back to the office. Before she could calm down, she was startled by the ringtone. Such a nervous feeling was really agonizing.
She grabbed the phone and forced a smile, "Hello? Mr. Alwynn."
Victor smiled and said, "Miss Amelia, I didn't expect you to be more capable than Lucian. But did you find out who did it?"
Victor asked about this matter, so Amelia's mood relaxed a little.
"No, Mr. Alwynn. Generally speaking, it is hard for us to find out who hired those paid Internet trolls, and it would be of no use even if we find it out. I deleted those comments and photos very quickly, and they won't attack Eden maliciously again in a short time. I'll pay attention to the news all the time. Once they take actions again, we'll be able to find out who they are."
"Okay! Thank you. I'll double your salary from today on." Victor hung up the phone with a smile.
Amelia was surprised. She gossiped about Victor, but Victor didn't punish her and doubled her salary.
Ah...
Had her life finally become so lucky?
She didn't know what luck was in the past.
Because she had never met with lucky things.
It seemed that her life was getting better and better.
Abigail was right. Eden was indeed her lucky star.
When Eden came out later, she wanted to talk to her more and become luckier.
