How did things turn out like this?
She should have been the winner.
"Who?" Jasper asked again.
Eloise didn't say anything more. She lay there with her eyes closed, and all hope was in vain.
No matter what Jasper said, she never spoke again.
So Jasper could only leave.
When Eden received Jasper's call, she and Victor had already arrived home.
"Jasper, haven't you gone home yet?" Eden took her clothes and was ready to take a bath.
"I am on my way home now. Eloise said they have a team trying to take you down. As long as they did it, they can get 100 million."
"What?" Eden was so angry that she threw the clothes in her hands on the ground.
"Listen to me, Eden. Don't be angry. It's not worth it. You must be more careful when you go out in the future. Such things may happen again."
"No, no, no, Jasper, I'm really angry right. Tell me, is my life only worth 100 million?" Eden paced back and forth in anger.
She kicked the clothes she threw on the floor and walked back and forth in her bare feet.
Victor came in and saw this, then he frowned, picked her up, and put her on the bed.
"Okay, okay. Don't be angry. It's really not worth it to be angry with this kind of a*sholes." Jasper said with a smile, trying to comfort her.
"Isn't it, Jasper? Those a*sholes are really annoying. I want to show them that I would not be defeated so easily!" Eden puffed her cheeks in anger.
"Jasper, don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Trust me."
"Got it. I know you are the best!"
Victor pinched her cheek gently. He had been listening to her patiently. A few minutes later, she finally hung up the phone with joy.
"What happened?" He put her mobile phone aside and asked.
Eden looked at him and was still very angry. "The person behind Eloise must be from the Simpson family. Only their family could afford to pay 100 million for my life."
A hint of coldness flashed in Victor's eyes. "Who said that?"
"Eloise."
Victor nodded and said nothing.
"Don't be angry. Go take a bath first. I'll help you dry your hair when you come out." He said softly.
Eden nodded and got up to take a clean nightgown and went to take a bath.
When Victor heard the sound of water, he picked up his phone and called Brian, and told everything Eden just said to him.
Brian said, "I still think that everything would be sorted once we find the person who is familiar with Eden's daily schedule."
Victor narrowed his eyes. "I'm looking for the person too. Do you have any ideas?"
Brian said, "It must be someone who is close to you. I'm thinking that it's more likely to be someone in your company."
Victor said, "I will pay attention to it. I will ask Eden and find out if she had told anyone else that we were going to that restaurant."
"Okay. By the way, I've found the news about Barrett's new housekeeper. Guess who it is?"
Hearing this, Victor asked, "Is it someone I know?"
