However, Victor stood still and lowered his head to look at her with keen eyes.
"Honey." His magnetic voice touched Eden's heart.
Eden lowered her head slightly but smiled helplessly. Then she raised her eyes and looked at him with a lovely smile.
"You... Why didn't you wake me up?" Eden held his waist with her unharmed arm. Feeling his familiar aura, she had a sense of security and felt very relaxed.
Victor held his breath. His eyes turned more and more brooding as he looked down at her and whispered, "I couldn't bear to wake you up." Eden felt more distressed for him when she heard his concerned tone.
Eden raised her head and glared at him with a coy face, "But I don't want you to suffer."
Victor's heart tightened and he couldn't restrain himself any longer. He lowered his head and kissed her lips...
......
The next day, the news that Melissa was indiscreet about her private life was spread online.
She had just become the design director in TS Company, and the employees in the company couldn't be convinced by her.
Darlene and Carney saw the news early in the morning.
Darlene had left the company. These days, she had been resting at home, but she would pay attention to news in the design circle.
Carney came to see her last night and did not leave.
When they ate breakfast together, they saw the news online.
When Carney learned what Melissa had done, his face turned pale with anger.
Seeing how disappointed he was, Darlene felt quite helpless, "Carney, Victor has started to fight back. Eden is in poor health and has been resting at home. When Victor went missing, she really had a hard time. However, her health has worsened since Victor came back. I'm afraid that the news the day before yesterday dealt her a severe blow."
"Humph! Melissa doesn't even show me respect! She's getting bolder and bolder! After quarreling with me, she actually went to the bar last night." Carney flew into a rage. Melissa was his only daughter, and he had spent a lot of time educating her, but she rebelled and always went against him. They could never communicate with each other.
Darlene looked at Carney. When she first met him, he was very handsome. At that time, he was mature and steady. Her first impression of him was favourable, and he did things in a resolute manner. Ten years had passed, but he was still so charming.
Perhaps, they had really missed each other for too long.
She watched him make Craig Group more and more successful. He had put in a lot of hard work to own his business kingdom in C Country.
"Carney, what she has done will affect the image of the company. I'm afraid that it will have a destabilizing effect on the stock market. I know that you worked hard to establish Craig Group, and we can't let the company be ruined. Victor is mad with Melissa because Eden has suffered a lot. As long as Melissa won't hurt Eden anymore, he won't go too far."
"I see. Darlene, have breakfast first. I'll go to the company later."
Carney knew that it was all Melissa's fault.
She didn't love Victor. She was just unwilling to give up because she couldn't get him.
"Okay!" Darlene would not interfere in their affairs. After all, she had no right to do so.
Melissa looked down on her.
Victor didn't go to work and took care of Eden at home. He started to work at home again.
"Humph! D*mned Victor! He really treats me so cruelly." Melissa's furious and malicious tone made Paula's heart tremble.
Paula didn't dare to answer her words. It was Melissa's own fault. No one could be as despicable as her and hide someone else's husband, but she did it.
It was not easy for Craig Group to expand a market in River City, and they had put in a lot of hard work to have a firm footing in the marketplace. However, such a thing would cause years of painstaking efforts to go down the drain. In the end, everyone's hard work and efforts would be in vain.
However, Paula was very calm. After all, it was not his own company. If Craig Group went bankrupt, he could work somewhere else.
Looking at Melissa's depressed face, he persuaded her, "Miss Craig, why don't you apologize to Eden? Only when she forgives you can Alwynn Group stop attacking our company."
Melissa suddenly glanced at him coldly. She sneered, "She's not qualified to let me apologize to her! Is it wrong for me to love Victor? I had tried my best to take care of him for a few months, but this b*stard is so ungrateful and even wants to take over Craig Group! I won't let him succeed."
She didn't believe that she couldn't defeat Victor.
She narrowed her eyes and pursed her red lips slightly. After thinking for a while, she looked at Paula and said, "Paula, go ask the Technology Department to whitewash my reputation. Let them release the news that someone framed me deliberately in order to take over Craig Group. We have a chance to win."
Hearing her words, Paula wondered if it would work.
They didn't have enough evidence and the netizens wouldn't believe them.
Moreover, Melissa, who had never lost before, had lost to Eden. She was acting impulsively.
But he was just her assistant, and she wouldn't listen to him no matter what he said.
"Okay!" Paula nodded and turned to leave the office.
