Chapter 261
When Haven heard that, she frowned and looked sideways at Vincent. His words of warning echoed in her ears.
She understood clearly that the daughter-in-law of a well-known family like the Alwynn family, could not make any mistakes, let alone bring shame to the family.
The wife had to dress in fine clothes in front of outsiders. On the other hand, she must be virtuous and behaved well at home in front of her husband and in-laws.
Haven had been enthusiastically waiting to marry Victor. She didn't expect to end up this way.
Deep down, she always knew about Victor’s thoughts. He would never marry her regardless of whether he wanted to build a family in the future.
Haven was just an orphan. She would not get everything she wanted because of her vulnerability, stoicism and pandering.
Nobody would care about her thoughts and hard work.
Others would only care if a person was capable or successful. They would not be affected by the
person's unhappy emotions.
Haven said calmly, "I know. You don't have to worry. I'll behave myself and I'll wait to marry you."
Without love, money was the best comfort for her. After living so many years in a wealthy family, she was aware that dignity could be defended by money in many situations.
A faint smile appeared on Victor's handsome face. "Haven, the Alywnn and Clement families are neighbors. I know that you are a sweet and sensible person. I will take responsibility for taking your
virginity because both of us come from aristocratic families. I know that you are not happy. I am not pleased either.
However, we can't be ignorant under the pressure from our parents. You will always have the position of the wife of the Jotham Alywnn Group's president as long as you help us."
Vincent suddenly figured everything out on the way to pick up Haven today. Even if he did not marry Haven, he would also marry another girl from other aristocratic families. Instead of finding a girl he didn' t know, it was better for him to find a partner he was familiar with to live together.
After all, he could control Haven. He would be fine even if he had fun with other women outside.
He was not someone who would give up the whole
forest for a tree.
He definitely would not be like Victor, who would foolishly wait for a person who would never come back.
Haven looked at him and said with a smile, "Vincent, remember your promise to me today. I am the only one who can be the wife of the Jotham Alwynn Group's president."
Haven held the phone in her hand and smiled oddly.
All the while, she could not get rid of the temptation of money. She had worked hard and did everything for love but she did not get any response.
One would end up hurting himself if he overestimated his capabilities to achieve his goals.
Vincent suddenly said, "Your parents and your two brothers will go to our house for dinner later. Let's get engaged first. As for the wedding date, I'll ask my mother to set an auspicious day for it
after we are free."
"Okay!" Haven nodded. She could not change the forgone situation no matter how much she tried.
However, she would always be tempted to get things that were unattainable. She had nothing to fear because she had someone to back her up. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Haven slowly closed her eyes. As long as Eden did not come back, the Clement family would always
have her back.
Eden saw Kenny reading a book when she returned home.
She put her laptop on the table, turned it on and went to change her shoes.
Kenny glanced at Eden's laptop and asked, "Mom, do you have work to do?"
"Yes! Kenny, someone tampered with my laptop. I am afraid that something would happen, so I have to come back and work overtime to deal with what might happen." Eden looked at Kenny's slightly puzzled face and smiled. She felt comfortable telling that to Kenny.
Someone had tampered her laptop?
Kenny narrowed his eyes slightly. Eden's design had always been recognized by others. She had suffered a lot for those designs. She would even dream about the designs at night.
He got up and said, "Mom, I'm going to my room to change. Uncle Jasper is coming."
"Okay!" Eden, who was removing her makeup from the restroom replied.
When Kenny returned to his room, he immediately searched for his private phone and dialed a number.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hello! Seven, why aren't you sleeping at this hour? Why are you calling me?" The voice on the other end of the phone was hoarse and filled with drowsiness.
It was already late at night on the other side due to the time difference.
Kenny said seriously, "Master, could you do me a favor..." Kenny hung up the phone after he explained his doubts to the master.
After that, he changed into a casual outfit. At the same time, Jasper called and told him that he was already waiting for him downstairs.
Kenny bade goodbye to Eden and went downstairs.
Victor drove to the location where he agreed to meet with Anson. He could not stay calm on his way there. He wanted to know about Eden's past but he was afraid that he would feel bad if Eden didn’t lead a good life.
However, he had to find out. He would only feel at ease after he knew about Eden’s past.
The place he and Anson agreed to meet was at a high-end restaurant in Fashion Square.
Victor walked elegantly and entered a private room under the guidance of the waiter.
Anson and a handsome man in a suit were in the private room. They had already ordered the dishes.
The man had black and shiny hair. His hair was trimmed short at the temples, making him look clean and sharp.
He was Anson's friend, Laden.
"Victor, you're here." Anson smiled and introduced, "He's Laden, my high school classmate. His home is actually very close to the Gienger family."
Laden stood up with a smile and said, "Mr. Alwynn, I've heard a lot about you!"
Victor looked at him and nodded indifferently. "Let's sit down!"
Victor, Anson and Laden sat around the round glass table that was full of unique dishes that emitted tantalizing scents.
Anson looked at Victor and smiled, "Victor, Laden is a trustworthy person. You don't have to worry."
"That's great!" Victor nodded indifferently. It was best to have trustworthy people!
Laden smiled confidently. He did not understand why Victor wanted to know about Cyan. However, he would help as much as he could because it was not difficult.
Anson smiled and said, "Victor, let's talk while we eat! Or we can talk about it after we finish eating."
Who knew what this madman would do when he heard about Eden's past?
Eden was his life!
Anson would be hungry again tonight if Victor got furious. It was better to eat first for the sake of his body.
"Okay!" Victor nodded. He had a restrained expression on his face and he didn't say anything else.
The wind that blew in from the window was gentle and the hair on his forehead flew lightly. Behind his hair, his black eyes were sparkling and dreary.
