When Georgia asked this, Vanessa was immediately reminded of something.
“Alfred had already arranged the other things long ago. I don’t know how he explained the matter that I became the bride. I don’t care about it much, the only thing I care about is one thing. Gigi, you know that I have loved wedding dresses since childhood. It’s too late now to customize a unique wedding dress. However, Alfred has agreed to let me go to a private high-end custom wedding dress store to choose a wedding dress. When will you be free? Can you come and choose one with me? I hope we both can choose a beautiful wedding dress together. You will be my bridesmaid.”
This was once an agreement between them, no matter who got married, even if they were married and had children, only they could be each other’s bridesmaids.
Rules were rigid but the people were always flexible. They were never going to find someone else to be their bridesmaids.
Georgia nodded immediately and agreed.
“I have to go to work during the day. Vanessa, when your appointment to choose the wedding dress is fixed, I can come to choose with you in the afternoon. Don’t choose the morning section, I feel guilty to ask for leave from work now.”
Vanessa laughed.
“I am also working during the day. Don’t worry, it will definitely be after you get off work.”
They talked about their wedding dress preferences for a bit and then hung up.
Georgia was in a good mood but the Lane family had become increasingly chaotic.
Eden was sent to the emergency room.
He had withdrawal syndrome and injured many medical staffs when he was in madness.
After they sedating him and operating on him, the doctor came out from the operation room and told the Lane family about his condition.
“Many of Eden’s ribs were bruised heavily and all of his internal organs have suffered minor injuries of varying degrees. He must have been beaten up very badly. Also, Eden was also violated by a man.”
When the doctor uttered this sentence, Owen’s whole face became so desolate that he could not speak at all.
His expressions were twisted. If he hadn’t known that this was done on the Holland family’s orders, he even would like to call a bunch of people to kill the one who harmed his son.
Flora burst into tears besides him.
She had been wondering that how come Eden had not even spoken a word after seeing her, looking so gloomy. How could there be such a sinister method of doing something?
Her son was violated by a man. Who could bear this kind of shame and humiliation?
After the doctor left, Owen suddenly slapped Flora on her face.
Flora staggered and then fell to the ground.
“Dad, why are you hitting mom?”
Emma yelled anxiously before kneeling down and helping her mother to get up.
Flora clutched her cheek which was still hurt painfully as tears streamed down her face.
“Owen, what is the matter with you? Eden is still lying in the ward, why are you taking out your anger on me?”
Flora had always been so powerless in front of her husband that she trembled as she said this one sentence in rebuttal.
Owen pointed to the woman in front of him, looking like he was about to explode.
“It’s you who spoiled Eden. Such a good boy unexpectedly addicted to drugs. Previously when he lost millions in gambling and you still said that he lost control of himself for a bit. Now he has taken drugs. Do you know what it means to take drugs? Who is going to save him? Who can save him?”
Owen roared loudly. Eden was his only son. Originally he had considered him as an heir, now he turned out to be like an useless coward. And furthermore, he was addicted to drugs now, completely hopeless.
Owen valued his heir a lot. It was not that he had not been with other women outside all these years, but none of the women was able to conceive and gave birth. Even if someone got pregnant, the child she gave birth to wasn’t his.
Therefore, he always cherished Eden as a treasure.
Who knew that he had unexpectedly spoiled Eden into being a drug addict. Looking at Eden who was going to ruin the Lane family, Owen felt like his whole heart was bleeding now.
He felt that it was Flora who had spoiled Eden. His questioning made Flora cry in an instant.
“Owen, someone must have done something bad to Eden. Eden has never gotten into these things before. He was just capricious, mostly got involved in fights and caused troubles only. You can’t give up on Eden. We must save Eden and help him to get rid of his drug addiction…”
Owen just looked at his wife exhaustedly.
At that time, he had also liked Flora’s ability to give birth to his children. All these years, he had been busy with his business but this made Flora have completely ruined his son.
Taking a deep breath, Owen looked at Emma.
“Emma, come home with me. I have something to discuss with you.”
After saying this, Owen looked at Flora again.
“You stay here and take care of our son. If something happens to him, then you will have to leave the Lane family!”
After speaking coldly, he turned around and left.
Emma looked at her mother worriedly and held her hand.
“Mom, don’t worry. Dad is angry right now. Eden has suffered such a big grievance this time, and now he has been exposed of taking drugs. Dad’s anger is completely justified. We have to find a way to make Eden quit drugs, otherwise his life would really be ruined…”
