"Eden, is he your real brother?" Paula asked with a smile.
Eden nodded with a smile.
She took a piece of chicken and waited for Paula's next words.
"Eden, is your brother married?" After Paula finished asking, she looked at Eden nervously.
Eden looked up at her as if she knew that she would ask such a question.
She slowly swallowed the food in her mouth.
Then, Eden smiled and narrowed her big watery eyes. "Paula, I knew you would ask this question. But I'll be the first one to disagree with you being my sister-in-law." Her brother was a bit silly and easily fooled. She remembered that she had fooled him when she was a child. But he was willingly tricked by his own sister.
However, she couldn't stand others cheating on her brother.
Paula’s face turned a little sour when she heard that. The Clement family was the second most powerful family in River City. She remembered that the Clement family's adopted daughter had been in trouble with the Clement family before, but she had been too busy working at the time to pay attention to that incident.
"Eden, do I really suck in your eyes?" Paula asked, a little disgruntled. She had only bullied her for a few years in high school, but she hadn't done anything mean to her either.
Eden nodded. "Don't we know each other? Don't you remember what you did in high school? I told you to stay away from my brother."
Eden warned with a serious face. Although her brother was stupid in other aspects, but he was very serious in relationships.
"I'm not really worried though, because my brother has high standards for girlfriend. He really wouldn't like a normal woman yet. My other brother married a woman he liked, so this brother is probably going to marry a lady with a prominent family." Eden said with a serious expression.
In fact, after what happened to Buddy, her mother's thoughts had already changed a lot. She was just saying that to get Paula to change her mind.
The Clement family was not short of money, and there was no need to obtain cooperation through marriage. As long as the children lived happily, her parents and grandmother would agree to their choice.
"A noble lady?" Paula's expression turned instantly disappointed. She was a girl from a poor town in the middle of nowhere and really didn't deserve to marry such a nobleman.
Eden nodded. She wanted Paula to give up the idea of marrying her brother. Because if Paula, who was mean, became part of the Clement family, there would be no peace in her family.
As soon as Paula heard this, she knew there was no hope of marrying Eden's brother. Then she lifted her pretty face proudly, "I'm just asking. Who wants to be your sister-in-law?"
Eden just smiled not breaking her lie, "I knew you didn't have that in mind. I was afraid you would."
Paula was a little angry. "Eden, don't you just despise me? Do you think I'm not good enough for your brother? But I'm pretty."
Paula was very dissatisfied with Eden's arrogant attitude. Many Cinderella could marry her Prince Charming. With her pretty appearance, she could win the favor of her Prince Charming.
Eden also said bluntly, "What's the use of being good-looking? A pretty face isn't the most important thing, a good character is."
Paula felt so wronged that she almost shed tears. "Eden, do you mean that I'm not a good person?"
Eden shook her head while eating. "I didn't say that." Did Paula not know what kind of person she was?
Eden had just seen the look on Paula's face when she was charmed by his brother. It was like a hungry wolf seeing a piece of meat.
Paula just had a flattering smile and seductive expression on her face. Unfortunately, her brother was really a naive man and didn't even look at her.
