Chapter 19
Lucian walked in and saw Victor wallowing in loneliness. A meaningful look flashed past Lucian's eyes.
Anson told Lucian that Victor was thinking about Eden last night.
Lucian vaguely remembered that young girl. She was very beautiful. It was as if she could convey her emotions with her bright big eyes.
The Clement family and the Alwynn family were neighbors. Most of the time, Eden tried her best to cheer Victor up when he was unhappy.
Victor liked her very much, but Eden had gone missing because of him. Over the years, Victor had been living in guilt.
Lucian walked over gracefully and said slowly in a clear voice, "Victor, Miss Clement called again. She asked what time will you arrive tonight. She said that the two families are going to discuss the marriage between you and her tonight."
Victor shifted his gaze away from the window. He glanced at Lucian with a hint of coldness in his eyes. He said indifferently, "She's just the adopted daughter, but she's trying to replace Eden and marry me. Don't you think that the Clement family is very ridiculous for doing that?"
Lucian did not answer the question. Instead, he said in a calm tone, "Since you don't want to go, I'll call to turn her down later."
"Good." Victor had a cold expression. Her stepmother, Rebecca Alwynn, wanted him to go. He would not let this woman have her way easily.
She had ruined his biological mother’s life. His mother was missing because of Rebecca. One day, he would take revenge on Rebecca.
The car accident that injured him the day before was definitely not a random incident. Anson Skye had already started to investigate. Victor had lost a lot because of Rebecca.
Lucian had no intention of leaving.
Victor raised his eyebrow and looked at him with slight annoyance. He said in an indifferent tone, "If you have something to say, just say it!"
Lucian said calmly, "Marianne said that she wanted to marry that man. She’s not coming back because she’ll relocate abroad. She told us to find someone to take over her job."
Victor smiled slightly and his eyes twinkled happily. "It seems that Marianne is serious this time. She even chases after that man and wants to marry him.
"But I’m unsure if that man is worthy of Marianne's effort. I've seen that man before, and I feel like he's nothing special. But I still hope Marianne will be happy.
"When’s her wedding date? She has worked in Alwynn Group for three years, and she has brought profits to our company. Let's send her a wedding gift when the time comes."
Lucian nodded with a smile and said in a gentle and pleasant voice, "This is absolutely necessary. I’ve told her about Eden Bleu. She said she knows about Eden and likes Eden's design concept very much. Eden is very suitable for this position!"
Victor nodded. He always had a strange feeling in his heart when he thought of that woman.
He was especially fascinated with her eyes.
He narrowed his black eyes slightly and said with a devilish smile, "Tell Eden to meet me. I will talk to her personally."
To be honest, her lively and impressive presentation during the morning meeting had convinced him.
Eden was the first person to win Victor’s approval on her first try.
Lucian nodded and said nothing. He saw at Victor's devilish smile and smiled playfully as well when he turned around. He had a feeling that things would get slightly more interesting in the future.
Lucian walked out gracefully.
Victor frowned and looked at Lucian as he left. He quickly picked up a folder on the desk. He wanted to throw it at Lucian, but he did not do that in the end.
Lucian always like to put on a cocky front before him.
He was even less talkative than Victor sometimes.
