Eden looked at the photo on the screen, her eyes narrowing as a cold aura surrounded her.Everyone from Class 3-18 was furious, their faces turning red.Ewan was the first to mutter angrily, "Damn it! Who sent this out? The chief would never do something like that!"Joy frowned and said, "Someone’s definitely framing Eden. What should we do? So many people have seen this; her reputation is ruined."Morris agreed. "Whoever did this has no sense of morality. Why post it now? Just to make everyone misunderstand the chief?"The murmurs around them reached Eden’s ears.She stood there, coldly, swirling the wine in her glass with slender fingers, her dark eyes flashing with cold determination.Eden placed the wine glass on the table and turned to Ewan. "Get me a laptop.""Now?" Ewan asked, puzzled. Why wasn’t she rushing to handle this herself?Eden removed her heels and nodded. "Yes."She had never worn high heels before; she felt uncomfortable after standing for so long.Seeing
Jasmine forced a smile. "What are you talking about? There’s nothing to understand. Mr. Alain has been so good to you, but you’ve done this behind his back. How can you face him now? Even if you’re my sister, I can’t support you."As Jasmine spoke, murmurs of condemnation started up again around them."Exactly. Alain treats her so well, yet she does this? It’s despicable.""Alain can have any woman he wants. Why did he choose her? Besides being pretty, she doesn’t seem to have much else to offer.""But she knows how to seduce men, whether they’re young or old."Alain, with his hands in his pockets, glared at the murmurers, and the conversations died down.Sinead looked at Eden and Jasmine, quickly understanding what was happening. Her expression darkened."Really now?" Eden narrowed her eyes. "I have something I’d like to show you as well. Interested in seeing it?""If you’ve got something to share, of course I’d like to see it," Jasmine replied with a feigned smile.Eden look
Jasmine's face was pale, her hair falling around her shoulders as she knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her cheeks.In the past, Edmund would have believed her without question, but this time, he stared at her coldly. "Not you?"He looked up with a sneer. "Are you saying that the person in the video isn’t you but someone who looks exactly like you?""I..." Jasmine was at a loss for words, biting her lip.It was her in the video, and it did happen. She never imagined that someone would record it, let alone that Eden would have gotten hold of it.But with so many eyes on her, she couldn’t find the words to explain.Catherine quickly slapped Jasmine. "How could you do something like this? He's your brother! He loved you since you were little and gave you everything! But you killed him... Why? Why would you do that?"Catherine was beside herself with grief. Jerred had been her favorite grandchild.When she heard about Jerred's death, she fainted on the spot and spent half a
Jasmine downed her glass of wine and smashed it on the ground. "You won't! You'll never recognize me because my mom is from the countryside and a second wife! We’ll never get your recognition!"Catherine and Edmund looked at her coldly.After a moment, Edmund said icily, "I've never treated you differently from Jerred. You have everything Jerred had. The Hunt family has never mistreated you.""Yes, you’ve never mistreated me, but what you’ve done is even worse than mistreating me!" Jasmine's face twisted with anger. "Every time we finished school, you only talked to Jerred. After every exam, you only asked about his results. Even if I was the top student, all you told me was to keep working hard."Tears streamed down Jasmine's cheeks. "I'm your child too. Why do you only see my older brother? Why can’t you ever see me?"Edmund looked at her in disappointment. "The only reason I didn’t praise you was because I already knew your results. I didn’t want you to become prideful. In a la
Everyone in the elite social circle knew that outside of official business, Sinead was the one handling all other matters for the Ward family.Eden’s standing within the Ward family became clear when Geoffrey stepped up to speak on her behalf.The guests silently kept their thoughts to themselves.Jasmine's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Geoffrey. "Eden’s involved with another man, meaning that she’s been unfaithful to Mr. Alain. Can you really accept that?"Geoffrey cast her a faint glance, his tone cold. "Ms. Jasmine, I won’t hold your words against you because you’re Eden’s younger sister. However, if you continue making such wild accusations and harming Eden, my family will take legal action against you."Jasmine’s eyes narrowed before she turned to Eden with a sneer. "Not bad, Eden. Not only did you manage to deal with Mr. Alain, but you’ve also got his parents wrapped around your finger. I’m really impressed. But what’s the point? If one of your scandals can be e
Although Eden appeared to be just an ordinary girl from the countryside, she was always full of surprises.Her appearance, academic achievements, social circle, and dancing skills—just any one of these was enough to astonish others.Before Jasmine even realized it, Eden had already become the center of everyone's attention.Jasmine bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.Eden gave Jasmine a brief glance before looking away. "Now that you know the truth about the man in the photo, you should also know the truth about Facebook and the photo."Eden glanced at Ewan, who nodded and pressed a button on the keyboard. The information on the screen changed, revealing the sender's ID and the content from Jasmine's mobile.Jasmine was instantly stunned. "How... How did you..."Eden’s lips curled into a smile. "I have quite a few things that would surprise you. Would you like to see them?""No!" Jasmine screamed without hesitation.She didn’t know what
The Hunt family left.The party was completely ruined thanks to them. Sinead felt there was no need to continue with the party. It was getting late, so she announced the end of the event.Sinead and Geoffrey saw the guests off.Meanwhile, Eden made sure the students from Class 3-18 were ready to go home.Sinead had arranged transport for them. Some of the students returned to the dorm, while others went home.After Eden was done seeing the students off, Sinead had also finished bidding farewell to the guests.Seeing Eden standing alone by the roadside, Sinead walked over to her.Everything that had happened tonight was unexpected. She was worried that Eden might be upset.Suddenly, a black car made a sharp turn and sped toward Eden on the road, crashing into several cars along the way.Eden’s eyes turned cold. But when she realized the car was heading straight for Sinead, she was horrified. She ran toward Sinead, shouting, "Move!"Alain and Horace, who had just stepped out of
Sulien and the paramedic moved Sinead into the ambulance. Horace, recalling Eden's instructions, grabbed Sulien and said, "Eden said not to move the needles on Aunt Sinead. She told you to proceed with the surgery first."Sulien looked at him with a stern expression. "Ms. Eden's needles might have prevented her condition from worsening, but... it doesn't look good.""I don't care what you have to do—just save her," Horace demanded, his voice almost a growl.Sulien bit his lip and said nothing.Meanwhile, Alain was in hot pursuit of the car that had rammed into his mother. Though he knew Estburg's roads well, the car managed to escape him several times.He pressed harder on the gas, but despite his speed, the black car disappeared again.Alain's eyes narrowed as his mobile rang. It was Eden. He quickly answered, "How's my mom, Ed?"He assumed Eden was with Sinead, saving her."I left her with Sulien. I'm tracking the car now. Link up with me and follow my marker." Eden's mobile
