Eden felt that they looked familiar. Og, they were Lyric's stepmother and younger sister.
Ansley looked at Eden with a smile. They had waited for her for a whole morning. She said in an aggressive tone, "Mrs. Alwynn, please lead the way for us. We want to go to the Lyric's house, because we have something to talk to her."
Eden looked at her with sharp eyes. She couldn't go to Lyric's house with good intentions, could she?
"Sorry, I am in a hurry to leave, and I have no time to take you there." Eden refused her coldly.
She stepped aside and wanted to leave, but Ansley took a step forward and blocked her way.
She watched as Eden entered the neighbourhood, but the guard didn't allow them to go in. All they could do was to stand outside and wait for Eden to come out.
Jasper wasn't here, so she was not afraid.
Eden was a woman. Although she was powerful and rich, she couldn't do anything alone.
What qualification did Lyric have to live in such a good house?
She had to go to Lyric's house to have a look. Her father didn't want to come, but it didn't mean that she and her mother had the same idea.
She asked the middleman just now. The houses here were very valuable and expensive. If she couldn't marry a rich man, she would never live here in the rest of her life.
"Mrs. Alwynn, you're of noble status. You will do me such a small favor, won't you?" Ansley looked at her and smiled jealously and viciously.
She was as good-looking as Eden and Lyric, but why was she not as lucky as them?
"No, I can't help you." Eden looked at her coldly.
She knew that Ansley wanted to see Lyric because Lyric lived in a good house. As far as she knew, the houses here were quite expensive.
Having met Ansley for a few times, she knew that she was really shameless.
Lyric once told her that Ansley would cast a bone between her and her friends.
A smart person would not have poor personal relationships.
Other people always provided Lyric timely help, but her sister wanted to make her life worse.
"Mrs. Alwynn, what if I force you to help me?" Ansley refused to let her go.
But her mother pulled her clothes at this time.
"Ansley, how can you talk to Mrs. Alwynn like this? She's your sister's friend. We should be polite."
"Mom, you're right. Mrs. Alwynn, you are my sister's friend, so you're our friend as well. Please take me to my sister's house, okay?" Ansley tried to claim ties of kinship with Eden. No matter what, she had to go to Lyric's house. Lyric was ill, and she could take the chance to bully her!
Eden stood still and said with indifferent eyes, "Sorry, I never make friends so casually."
Although Eden said so, she didn't look apologetic at all. Even if she had to share her interest, she wouldn't share it with someone she disliked.
Ansley's face darkened much more.
"It seems that you look down on us poor people." Ansley's tone was mocking. In fact, she looked down on Eden.
If she had a chance, she could seduce Victor as well.
"I don't care what you think, but I have something to do now. Please get out of my way." She was in a bad mood and didn't want to argue with them.
The reason why she didn't hail a taxi was that she wanted to walk alone.
"I'm sorry, but you have to sacrifice your time so that we can go to Lyric's house together." Ansley didn't let her go. Instead, she pestered Eden.
She immediately pinched Eden's wrist with her sweaty hand.
The wet and hot feeling made Eden feel disgusted. Moreover, she was very uncomfortable because of the gust of strong perfume.
Eden's voice suddenly turned apathetic, "Let go of me!"
