It was said that people were particularly annoyed when they met their enemies. Paulina felt so bad when she saw Eden.
Eden also looked at Paulina. Paulina didn’t look well, and she was not as energetic and bossy as she was last time.
Her face was very haggard, and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight in a short time.
When Paulina returned home that night, she was beaten by her father as soon as she entered her house, and her cheeks were swollen.
She had known that she would be beaten before she came back.
She was too embarrassed to go to work the next day, and she didn't dare to go out until that day. The swelling on her face had been reduced, but she was listless after being locked up for a few days.
That day, she was in a low spirit. During the meeting, she had been absent- minded and was severely warned by her leader.
Her father asked her to return ten million dollars to him in a year. How could she make so much money? dad?"
It was all Eden's fault. She regretted it so much, and she would rather not have met Eden in the mall that day. In that case, she would not have lost ten million dollars and would not have been beaten so badly by her father.
Her father was famous for caring very much about money, and he doted on her in ordinary times, so he gave her that card.
As for Darlene, when she saw Tillie, her eyes were not filled with resentment like before. This time, her eyes were very calm, as if Tillie was an unimportant person who would not cause her to suffer mood swings.
"Eden, let's go." Darlene said in a low voice.
"Mm!" Eden took a look at Paulina and didn't greet her.
None of them spoke. Just as Eden was about to walk past Paulina, Paulina glanced at her coldly with her eyes full of malice, and then she reached out her foot and tripped Eden.
"Ah..." Eden leaned forward.
She staggered and was about to fall to the ground.
"Eden!" Darlene cried out in surprise. Seeing that Eden was about to fall down, she slapped the table with great strength and frowned slightly in pain.
Suddenly, someone held Eden who was about to fall down with his strong arms.
Eden looked up, only to see Victor's brooding eyes.
She was slightly shocked and didn't expect Victor to be here. Wasn't he reading books at home? Moreover, when she came out, he followed her pitifully like a abandoned child, asking her to go back earlier.
"Eden, are you all right?" Victor asked in a deep voice. It was obvious that he cared about her very much.
Eden pursed her lips slightly and smiled, "If you hadn't appeared here, something bad would have happened to me."
Eden looked at the corner of the table and had a lingering fear in her heart.
Victor glanced at Paulina, and a hint of cruelty flashed through his eyes. When he looked at Eden, his eyes turned gentle again, "It seems that I came at the right time." He seemed to be joking, but his face darkened to the extreme.
Eden stood firm and looked back at Paulina who had tripped her. However, Paulina acted as if nothing had happened. She ignored her and looked at Victor with infatuation.
"Victor, why are you here?" Haven asked with a gentle smile.
Who was the man behind Victor? Haven saw a man in suit and pretended to be very familiar with Victor.
Victor glanced at her blandly and did not speak. Instead, he looked at Eden and said tenderly, "Have you eaten yet?"
Eden said, "Yeah, I ate with auntie."
