The next morning, the screeching doorbell woke Eden up.She kicked her blanket away in displeasure, her expression of someone not to be trifled with. She was extremely irritated, to the point of wanting to punch someone.When Eden got downstairs, Alain was already up.When Eden saw who it was, she was stunned.It was a woman!And she was beautiful!She was very well-presented with a perfect figure and full of grace.The woman instantly saw Eden, who was standing behind Alain. She quickly stepped into the house and held Eden’s hand, her beautiful face revealing a brilliant smile. “My, my, you must be that daughter-in-law of mine? You’re even prettier in person. This is great!”“Hello,” After being stunned for a moment, Eden greeted her politely and stopped being so thuggish.The woman in front of her was Alain’s mother, Sinead Ward. When Eden was investigating Alain, she had seen Sinead’s picture before.“Hello to you too,” Sinead said, obviously very happy with Eden. She pu
Sinead lifted her gaze, looking at Jasmine somewhat confused. “You must be Jasmine.”When the Ward family decided to go ahead with the marriage with the Hunt family, Sinead had already studied the Hunt family.Of course, she had seen everyone’s photo as well. That was why she was able to make out Jasmine in one glance.“Yes, I am,” Jasmine smiled sweetly and meekly.“Why are you here?”Someone with the status of Sinead had already seen many kinds of people in her life. The moment Jasmine spoke, she could already tell that she didn’t come with pure intentions. She immediately frowned, and her expression darkened.Jasmine looked down, seemingly embarrassed. “My sister has just moved to Estburg. I’m just going to accompany her for a while. Once she’s used to life here, I’ll leave.”As Jasmine continued to keep up with the girl-next-door act, Sinead was getting annoyed with her instead.“That’s inappropriate, isn’t it?”Sinead said as she let go of Eden’s hand and sat with her bac
As soon as Eden said that, Alain nearly chortled.One could see he was enjoying it through his eyes.Sinead was stunned for a while too before regaining her composure, and she said with a smile. “That’s true... You may stay, then.”Jasmine glared at Eden, almost unable to stop herself from cursing her.Jasmine looked down, viciousness in her eyes. However, she was still smiling on the surface. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Ward. I’ll take good care of my sis and Master Alain as well.”Sinead decided to ignore her and only then did she remember Alain who was sitting by the side. She turned around and looked at him, and she instantly let out an astonished cry. “Alain... You... You’ve recovered?”Sinead wanted to mention the tumors, but seeing that Eden and Jasmine were still around, she used different words.Alain was speechless.He held his arm up and looked at the watch.It had been half an hour since Sinead walked through the door. Only now did she remember that she had a son?“Yeah,”
Eden had never been soft-hearted. No one who had humiliated her could still live.She only tolerated the Hunt family because they were Jerred’s family.That didn’t mean she would tolerate them forever. There was a limit to her tolerance.Her grandma was her bottom line. If anyone dared to touch her, she would make sure that the person would regret he was ever born!No matter who they were!Upstairs, Sinead forced Alain to take off his clothes and checked his body.When she saw that all of his tumors were gone, she was so shocked that she couldn’t say a word.“What... What happened?” Sinead looked at him with wide eyes and in astonishment. “Who cured you?”Alain slowly put his clothes back on and glanced at Sinead before saying, “Your future daughter-in-law.”“Eden?!” Sinead was surprised. “How’s that possible?”Eden was only nineteen-years-old, and she hadn’t even graduated high school! How could she have treated Alain’s sickness?Not to mention that Alain wasn’t actually si
Sinead and Alain chatted for a little longer before going downstairs.Jasmine got up from the ground and saw Sinead and Alain heading her way.A plot quickly hatched in her head, and she suddenly raised her hand and slapped her own face before sobbing, “I know you don’t like me, Eden. If you don’t want me to stay, I’ll leave. Why do you have to hit me?”Eden was standing there with both hands in her pockets. She raised her eyebrow, smiling as she looked at Jasmine put on a show.Sinead walked over and glanced at Jasmine. “What is it?”Jasmine held her face, acting as if she was in a very miserable state. “Mrs. Ward, Eden said that she doesn’t want me to stay here. The only reason she agreed with me staying is so that you have a good impression of her. I said that I only wanted to take care of her, but she hit me instead.”Jasmine sobbed. She had the face of someone weak and gentle. The moment she cried, she would attract pity from others.Unfortunately, the few people in front o
Eden paused for a few seconds before leaving with Alain.The two ignored Jasmine completely.However, they had only reached the door when Jasmine caught up with them. “I’ll go visit Grandma too, Eden. I’ve not visited her since she came to Estburg.”Of course, Jasmine wasn’t there to visit Eden’s grandmother. She simply wanted to be with Alain at all times.“Scram,” Eden said icily as she frowned.She was willing to play along with Jasmine earlier because she was in a good mood.Not to mention that Jasmine had a death wish, so of course she was willing to fool around with her.But Jasmine wanting to visit her grandma?What the hell?Who was she to make that request?“Eden?” Jasmine was stunned and was about to cry.Eden didn’t even give her an ounce of respect by yelling at her in front of Alain.Eden pulled her cap further down so that she couldn’t even see Jasmine before leaving.Alain glanced frostily at Jasmine and said in an indifferent tone. “If there’s nothing else,
The moment Eden said that, the car instantly fell into dead silence.Alain looked at Eden before turning away, biting his lips. No one could tell what he was feeling from his expression.Horace frowned before finally regaining his composure. “Poisoned? Are you serious?”Eden stared at him before rolling her eyes, as if she was looking at an idiot.Horace was speechless.He had disappointed the young woman again.“Who would lie about their grandmother?” Caelus glanced at Horace as if he was looking at a fool as well.They had spent very little time with Eden, and they had never heard her say anything about the Hunt family and her grandma.But all of them knew that Eden cared about her grandmother the most.And yet Horace asked if she was joking... Of course she would look at him like he was an idiot.Caelus sighed again. Ever since Eden came, Horace’s intelligence had dropped off the cliff.“I...” Horace felt attacked.It really wasn’t because he was stupid, alright?He sim
“You’re asking me what’s wrong? Ever since she came to the Hunt family, she has been acting out. You’re a country bumpkin yourself, so I don’t expect you to teach her much about etiquette, but how can she treat Jas like a maid? Who does she think she is? How can she order my daughter around?” Melinda said angrily, completely without the grace of a proper lady.Sofia’s face turned pale as she said, “Eden’s your daughter too.”“Ha!” Melinda snorted. “She’s just a daughter that I’ve abandoned.”“How... How can you say that... You had her in your womb for nine months, didn't you? How can you be so cruel?”“So what if I am? She has had nothing to do with me ever since I decided to discard her. If it wasn’t because I need someone to get married in Jas’ place, do you think I’d ever seek her out?” Melinda sneered. “If she was half as good as Jas, maybe I’d find a way to get her back. But look at her.“She gets zero for all her subjects, and she starts fights and plays truant all year long
