Anson felt as though he had heard a heavenly voice.
He greeted Laden and said, "Caden, let's talk after we finish eating. Victor has also been busy all day.
He must be hungry too."
Anson was actually the one who was hungry. He had to eat first.
When it came to the matters concerning Eden, Victor's fiery temper would drive people crazy.
"Okay!" Caden smiled and looked up at Victor, who was sitting opposite him. He saw that Victor had a sullen expression on his face and he exuded a cold aura.
Victor matched his reputation. He looked even more handsome than his photos on the magazine cover.
Caden picked up the glass of red wine and said, "Mr. Alwynn, this is the first time we meet. I’d like to propose a toast to you." He raised his glass at Victor.
Victor nodded and slightly sobered up. He picked up his glass, clinked glasses with Caden and drank the red wine in one gulp.
He put down the glass and ate his food gracefully
without saying a word.
The atmosphere would become oppressive whenever Victor was present.
Laden seemed a little restrained as he ate silently. The dishes were authentic cuisine in River City. They were delicately cooked and they tasted extremely good.
Anson was already used to Victor's temper. He would always be full if he pretended that Victor was not there when he was eating.
He would not be at peace most of the time if he cared about Victor's mood.
"Laden, the fish here is very delicious. It's tender, smooth, hot and spicy. I could eat two bowls of rice whenever I come here for dinner. Please eat more." He greeted Laden and did not look at Victor throughout the entire process.
Laden was really handsome. He smiled elegantly and picked up a piece of fish to eat.
Victor ate silently. In fact, he was not very hungry. He just wanted to wait for Anson and Laden to finish their food.
Victor put down his chopsticks after he finished a small bowl of rice. He gestured for Anson and Laden to continue eating.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea elegantly, and leaned against the chair. The light shone on his handsome face. His nose was sharp and his lips that were tightly pursed showed a hint of perseverance and stubbornness. His facial features were well-defined, as though they were sculptured.
Laden lost his appetite when he sat facing Victor like that.
He looked at Victor and saw the coldness and arrogance on Victor's delicate face.
He smiled. "Mr. Alwynn, what do you want to know about Cyan?"
He asked bluntly.
Seeing that Laden finally got to the point, Victor asked in a serious tone, "I would like to know about Cyan's life in the Gienger family. Did she live a good life? The Gienger family adopted her at the orphanage."
Laden looked at Victor with slight confusion when he heard his words. Even though he didn't know why Victor wanted to know about Cyan, he would tell the truth because he had a good relationship with Anson.
As far as he could remember, Cyan was a pitiful girl.
Laden thought for a moment and started to talk about the time he first met Cyan. "The Kline and Gienger families know each other. Cyan and I were in the same grade in high school but we were not in the same class. As for her life..."
Her life was not very good. I would see her walking to school occasionally. She was very timid and was obsequious towards her family.
