Gluey Love Between Us

Chapter 39

Victor, who usually disliked women, suddenly felt sympathy when he heard Eden's quivering voice.

He looked at the two women who walked in with his deep-set eyes. It was Bethany and her daughter, Myra.

Eden could not hold back her trembles as the footstep sound of the mother-daughter pair got closer.

Victor frowned slightly. He could not help but wrap his arms around her waist and pressed his head against her shoulder.

It was as if he was trying to make her feel more secure.

It could also prevent Bethany and Myra from recognizing him. He knew how gossip these two women could be.

He smelled an inexplicably familiar body scent radiating from Eden's body.

Myra and her mother walked in and saw two people were locked in an embrace. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

The mother-daughter pair's eyes were filled with disdain and contempt at the same time.

It was until their footstep sound faded into the distance when Eden quickly freed herself from Victor's arms.

Her face was pale when she looked at him. She forced a smile. "Mr. Alwynn, thank you for what you did just now!"

Victor's heart became empty when Eden left his embrace. His face suddenly darkened when he heard Eden thanked him.

He smiled evilly and said, "Miss Bleu, do you think a mere 'thank you' is enough after you took advantage of me?"

"What do you want then?" Eden, who was still wallowing in her grief, said with a trembling voice.

Eden suddenly felt breathless after she heard Victor's evil words. The pain was constantly engulfing her heart.

The pain was as intense as that night from seven years ago. She felt so horrible that she wanted to die.

But she could not do that now. She still had three children and her mother to take care of.

Moreover, she still had not found her birth parents.

Victor suddenly felt sympathy when he looked at Eden, who appeared so vulnerable.

A hint of panic flashed past Eden's eyes when she heard a set of familiar footsteps approaching. "I'll make a move, Mr. Alwynn."

After she said that, Eden turned around and left as if she was running for her life.

Victor looked at her fragile frame and was lost in thought.

Why was she so afraid of Bethany and her daughter?

Victor turned around and left.

When he reached the hall, he quickly took out his phone and called Anson.

The call was connected very quickly.

'Anson, check if Eden knows anyone from the Gienger family."

On the other end of the phone, Anson was buying plane tickets back to River City.

Upon hearing Victor's words, Anson frowned and said, "Victor, the Gienger family has a son and two daughters. One of the daughters, Cyan Gienger, was adopted from an orphanage. Cyan disappeared after that night at the Grand Banquet Hotel."

"Let me tell you this. One of my friends is quite close to the Gienger family, so he knows the inside story. Didn't someone drug you that night? The woman your family had arranged to go into your room went into Mr. King's room instead. As for the Gienger family, they were setting Cyan up with Mr. King. Cyan was drugged by the Gienger family."

"They wanted to exchange Cyan for a business deal. I always suspected that Cyan was the woman you had a one-night stand with, because she went missing after that night."

"Some people said that Cyan ran away and committed suicide after she learned the truth. In short, no one really knew the truth. Well, these are all I have. I'm heading to the airport now so I can return on time." Anson was about to hang up the phone after he said that.

But something suddenly popped up in his mind.

He confirmed with Victor again. "Victor, who did you ask me to investigate just now?"
