"Mommy..." She spoke like a spoiled baby again.

"Stop it. I won't tell you about this matter. You don't know how serious it is. I will only get into trouble if I tell you. You should cherish your peaceful life right now because it did not come by easily!"

She was poor and full of debts previously. It was not easy to live a wealthy life like today. She didn't want it to be ruined.

She glanced at her daughter coldly.

She hated Cyan because that additional child in the family made her life harder those years!

However, Cyan was very sensible. She knew how to cook and wash clothes even at a young age. Therefore, Bethany raised Cyan like a servant.

Cyan had been trying hard to blend into her family, but Bethany never gave her a chance.

"Hmph!" Myra let go of Bethany's hand angrily and sat back on her chair.

She glared at her mother angrily and said in a sharp voice, "Mom, do you think you can keep this a secret for the rest of your life?"

Bethany narrowed her eyes and looked at her daughter's angry face. Suddenly, she sneered and said sarcastically, "Myra, your glory and wealth come from the Gienger family. If the Gienger family is doomed, you are doomed as well. As for Cyan's identity, your father and I have no clue at all.

In order to shun debts, we brought your brother and Cyan to hide in your grandfather's hometown. It was deep in the forest. We only returned to River City a few years later. We didn't know whether Cyan's parents had tried to look for her or not."

"Ah! What a pity!" Myra looked disappointed. She thought her mother knew Cyan's identity.

"What a pity?" Bethany looked as if she was about to tear her daughter apart.

"Did you feel that it's a pity I wasn't sent to prison?" Bethany's tone was harsh and cold, and her gaze was indifferent.

"Mom! I'm your daughter. How can you think of me like that?" Myra looked at her reproachfully.

Bethany suddenly roared, "Don't talk nonsense then. Don't mention Cyan's name in front of me next time."

"Got it, mom!" Myra answered in a low voice, showing some grievance.

The dishes that they had ordered were served to them, one after another

Myra felt better instantly when she saw all the delicious food. She stopped thinking about Cyan and quickly enjoyed the food.

Bethany looked at her with her narrowed eyes and exhaled deeply.

She only picked up her fork and ate slowly after she had calmed down.

Meanwhile, no one disturbed Victor and Eden. They were having dinner happily.

To Eden, Victor was her boss. For the past six years, Eden had learned how to deal with all kinds of people. She was good at communicating with people and polite to everyone in the company. She could also get along well with her colleagues.

Her attitude was the same towards Victor.

After dinner, Eden and Victor walked along the streets from the Fashion Square to Eden's apartment. The cool evening breeze made them feel very comfortable.

Victor didn't intend to leave.

It would be rude if Eden were to drive Victor away. Therefore, she let him accompany her.

No matter how long the road was, they would reach their destination eventually. When they reached Eden's apartment, Eden stopped and smiled at the handsome Victor. She said in a low voice, "Mr. Alwynn, I had reached my place."

Victor looked at her deeply. He raised his eyebrows, smiled at her suddenly, and said, "Thank you, Miss Bleu, for inviting me to dinner. To return your hospitality, let me schedule another dinner with you when you are free."

Deep down, he actually didn't want to leave.
