Eden slightly raised her eyebrow with a cold expression on her face. “Is the Hunt family that powerful?”Melinda was dumbfounded and couldn’t speak for some time.How dare she look down on the Hunt family? Who did she think she was?The Hunt family was ranked second in Estburg.“Well...” Horace smiled. “Not really.”Even discounting Alain, the Brooks family surpassed the Hunt family by a great deal.The Hunt family...They really weren’t that powerful.Not to mention that the Hunt family didn’t even qualify to apply for a Midas Card that Eden was using.Looking at the Hunt family’s financial situation, the entire family probably didn’t even have one billion in cash.And they looked down on Eden?Melinda’s expression froze; she felt very uncomfortable.In Estburg, she was always someone standing at the top of the pyramid. But when facing the Ward and Brooks family, she was less than an ant.When faced with behemoths like them, the Hunt family was really nothing.Eden walke

“Go on, fix her shoulder. Just don’t see her ever again,” Sofia said as she patted Eden’s shoulder and consoled her.Eden sighed and stood up. She pulled Melinda up and popped the dislocated arm back into her shoulder.Eden then pushed Melinda away and said, “Scram as far away as possible.”Melinda was so scared that she swallowed all the curses that she wanted to spout at Eden. She couldn’t even spout a word before quickly escaping.However, when she had just reached the door, Horace suddenly walked over and stopped her. “Mrs. Hunt, don’t you think you should apologize for yelling at her?”Then, Horace took out a small knife from his pocket and slowly tapped it on his palm with a snicker on his face.Just because Eden was going to let her go didn’t mean he was going to do the same.Even though he had his own reason for coming to the hospital with Eden to visit Sofia, Eden was Alain’s fiancée.And since she was Alain’s fiancée, she was one of them.How could he let Melinda lea

It was the first time Alain and the others met Sofia, and they weren't that familiar with each other. Sofia felt a bit uneasy, so they didn't linger in the ward. They gave Eden and Sofia some space.Once Alain and the others had left, only then did Sofia reach out and hold Eden's hand. With a loving tone, she asked, "How do you find it there? Are you settling in?""It's okay," Eden replied softly as she picked up an apple and slowly peeled its skin away.Her expression remained impassive as she focused on the task.Sofia gently patted her hand and sighed. "I know you don't like talking about your mother. Neither do I. But she's still your biological mother. There are some things we have to let go."Eden said nothing and continued peeling the apple in silence.Seeing Eden's reluctance to discuss the topic, Sofia changed the subject. "Is your schooling all set?""Yeah," Eden nodded. "I'll be at Riverside Senior High.""That's a good school. Focus on your studies there," Sofia enc

Eden had tried to ask Sofia about her father several times, but Sofia refused to speak about it.That was why when Melinda came looking for her, Eden didn't hesitate to agree to come to Estburg.Once in Estburg, she used her hacking skills to access a certain agency's records of all incoming and outgoing persons from the past 20 years. Strangely, there was no record of her father's arrival at all.It was as if her father had never existed in this world.She refused to believe that a living, breathing person could simply disappear without a trace.Even if her grandmother tried to stop her, Eden was determined to continue her investigation.After standing silently for a long time, Eden turned around, tucked Sofia in, and left the ward.Meanwhile, Alain went to the doctor's office.Dr. Smith, Sofia's attending physician, had just finished surgery. Upon hearing that Alain was looking for him, he immediately hurried over."Mr. Ward," Dr. Smith said nervously, standing beside Alain,

"Don't worry about it," Dr. Smith reassured Eden with a smile.When the young woman stood next to Alain and spoke about her grandmother, Dr. Smith instantly understood the situation.She was likely Alain's lover.If that was the case, he naturally needed to show her more respect.By the time they left the hospital, the sky had almost darkened.Horace mentioned a new restaurant in the city center that was creating a buzz, suggesting they give it a try. Alain thought it was a good idea since he hadn't taken Eden out for a meal since her arrival.Once Eden got into the car, she rested against the window with a subdued posture, showing little excitement.Alain glanced at her. Since leaving the hospital, her brow had been furrowed. He wasn't sure if she was worried about Sofia's illness, but her usually assertive demeanor had softened, revealing a hint of vulnerability.He gently patted Eden's shoulder with a reassuring expression. "Don't worry. The specialty drugs won't run out as

The new restaurant was Kentran.When they arrived, Alain asked Horace to take Eden upstairs while he stayed behind to speak with Caelus about something. Afterward, Caelus left.Eden wasn't particularly hungry, so she stopped eating after a few bites. She asked the waiter for a few bottles of beer and expertly opened one with her teeth, like a seasoned pro.She enjoyed drinking beer; it helped soothe her irritation. Other types of alcohol like wine and imports weren't her thing.Horace was amazed at her skill. "You're only 19, yet you're drinking like that?"Eden glanced at him with a hint of attitude. "Got a problem with that?""Uh, no, none," Horace stammered nervously, feeling insecure under her disdainful gaze. He would be glad if she would stop looking at him like he was an idiot.Eden ignored him and focused on her phone, sipping her beer.Watching her down bottle after bottle, Horace couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is the beer that good?"Accustomed to expensive red wi

She didn't reply and immediately pocketed her phone.As they got out of the car, Alain naturally took Eden's hand, and she didn't resist. It was unclear whether she had grown accustomed to it or found comfort in his warmth.Caelus pressed the doorbell, and Mrs. Johnson opened the door. She was momentarily taken aback, seeing so many people outside, including Jasmine and Eden. "Jasmine, why have you returned?"Spotting Horace behind Jasmine, Mrs. Johnson added hastily, "And Mr. Brooks as well."Having never seen Alain before, she didn't acknowledge him. As for Eden, Catherine had been coming home every day recently to discuss how to persuade Eden to return.Eden paid no heed to Mrs. Johnson's indifference."Where are my parents, Mrs. Johnson?" Jasmine asked with a serious expression. "Are they home? Is Madam Catherine and Mr. Edison home as well?"Before Mrs. Johnson could speak, Melinda appeared. "Who is it, Mrs. Johnson?"Upon seeing who was at the door, she was instantly shoc

Melinda shot Eden a piercing glare.She had never expressed a desire to disown Eden; it was Eden who had declared she wanted nothing to do with the Hunt family.Yet, Alain not only took her statement seriously but had now brought Jasmine and Eden back home.No matter how furious she felt, pleasing Alain was now her priority.Melinda was acutely aware that if Alain decided to break off the engagement, her future days in the Hunt family would be fraught with difficulty."I didn’t say I want to break the engagement," Alain stated emotionlessly as he gazed at Catherine.The elderly woman was taken aback, sighing heavily. "Looks like I’ve had a misunderstanding.""You did misunderstand," Alain affirmed as he rose to his feet, casting a long shadow in the room's light.With an icy demeanor, he declared, "The consequence of severing ties with Eden is this: I will withdraw all my investment with the Hunt family."What?Catherine gasped, nearly falling back into her seat.Withdraw hi
