"Don't worry about the invitation. The Agency will handle it," Liam reassured."Alright, thanks," Eden replied, massaging her forehead. She wondered if her account had enough funds.A starting bid of 10 billion Kentran Dollars. She probably couldn't win the bid even with 100 billion Kentran Dollars.Not to mention the old money families were alerted. It wouldn't be easy to get her hands on it.Liam sighed, "You don't have to be so distant with me, K. You're part of the Agency, a member of our family. No matter what happens, the entire Agency will be there to support you."After a pause, Liam added, "You don't have to worry about the money either. We'll gather the necessary funds for you.""It's fine," Eden said with a frown. "Just give me all the jobs."Looks like she had to earn some more money.When Liam heard this, he laughed. "I never thought I'd hear you taking jobs just for money. Everyone knows you don't care about money. If Black Panther and the others found out, they'd
Jasmine glanced at her, wondering why the girl looked like she had seen a ghost.She still nodded anyhow."You didn't know? In the afternoon, your older sister broke Simon Navarro's leg in the cafeteria. Carina Duran's wrist was also broken. I heard that the doctor at the hospital can't mend his broken leg."Jasmine was taken aback. She really didn't know about it at all.However, she couldn't help but quietly smile when she heard that. She hid it very well, of course. No one had seen it.She lowered her head and sighed. "She was brought up in the countryside, so it's commonplace for her to fight or play truant. She's difficult to get along with. With that temper of hers, I wonder what kind of trouble she'll start next."Eden was going to pay for messing with Simon.So what if she had Alain's support?Simon's family, the Navarros, were also quite influential. Would Alain risk an altercation with the Navarros for his fiancée, whom he had just gotten to know?Her opportunity wou
"You're right," Eden said lazily as she put away her mobile.Ewan was overjoyed. "You're okay with it, then?"Eden stopped and looked at him. "I disagree."As they spoke, they reached the school entrance.Eden originally wanted to get a cab, but Alain had offered to pick her up.However, there was traffic on the road, so he asked her to wait for a few minutes.Eden was still buzzing in her ears. "Please, don't. Can you think about it… Eden, behind you."Eden turned around, and about thirty men in black started to surround her and Ewan.One of the men stepped forward and looked at Eden without any expression. "You're the one who broke Master Simon's leg?"Eden smiled coldly, her hands in her pockets, speaking back to them like she was a mafia boss herself. "Are we doing this solo or all at once?"Ewan had never seen so many enemies before, but he still gathered his courage and stood in front of Eden despite his fear. "You have to take me down first."Eden raised an eyebrow an
Alain took Eden's bag, held her hand, and asked softly, "You hungry?"He didn't mention anything about the fight."A little," Eden said lazily, as if the fight hadn't happened at all."Let's go get a bite."Eden nodded, saying nothing, and followed Alain into his car.Ewan, trailing behind them, still hadn't recovered his composure.Once they were all in the car, Horace wanted to ask Eden many questions but wasn't sure if he should. He'd had enough of being looked at like a fool by Eden. Another question, and he feared he'd forever be known as the fool to her.The drive was silent, with no one saying a word.Alain didn't ask Eden about the recent events either.After they'd been driving for a while, Eden suddenly looked up and asked Alain seriously, "Do you know anyone who has untreatable diseases or is on their deathbed?"Alain raised an eyebrow. "Yes."Horace, curious, asked, "Why are you asking?"Eden leaned against the car window and said sluggishly, "I need money.""M
Alain wasn't short on cash. If Eden needed money, he could give it to her. However, he noticed that she was quite prideful. She would never take anything from anyone for free. If he were to really give her the whole 700 billion, she wouldn't take it either. Introducing her to new business opportunities was much better.Eden's eyes lit up with interest as she stood up straight. "That works."The fire in her eyes didn't escape Alain's gaze as he said with a smile, "The other one is from Rielton. He probably can't afford to pay you so much, but I'll try to get him to pay you 50 billion."After a moment of pause, Alain continued, "He has been paralyzed for about ten years, so get ready for that."When Eden heard that there was work, she instantly popped back to life. She massaged her chin and gave it some thought. "If I can fully heal him, can I ask for extra?"Alain raised an eyebrow. "He'll pay extra with me around."He realized he had underestimated Eden when he saw her being so c
Eden picked up the call outside."What is it?"Her tone was still icy."I've done everything as ordered," a stern voice came from the other side.Eden's hand was in her pocket as she looked down at the floor. "Alright. Do what you have to.""When will you be coming? There are a lot of things that await your decision."Eden frowned slightly. "If I need to do everything myself, what's the point of having you around?"The person stayed silent for a while and then said, "I've overstepped my boundary.""I'll look for you once I'm done on my end."Eden could see the streets outside from the window by the stairs. The sky was slowly darkening, and the lights from the lampposts were shining in from the window. The light on her face made her look even more cold-hearted.Eden hung up, her eyes frosting over. She needed to find out more about Jerred's heart quickly.Horace had drunk about ten bottles of beer, and he was starting to get a little drunk.Eden also had no appetite to eat m
When Jerred passed away, Eden hadn't moved to Estburg.Not to mention, Eden had grown up in her grandmother's home and had never interacted with anyone else from the Hunt family. How did she know Jerred?Eden's face twisted with anger as her fingers tightened around Alain's collar. The crimson light in her eyes revealed her murderous intent. "You caused the accident and took his heart… You think you can hide the truth with a fake donation agreement?"She sneered, lusting for blood. "I'll rip your heart out so that you can die along with him!"Eden raised her other hand, but Alain, sensing something was wrong, instantly moved away. Needles buried themselves in the wall behind him.She abandoned launching more needles and started to fight Alain hand-to-hand.She fought with complete disregard for her own safety.Alain initially tried to evade her attacks, but when he realized he could no longer dodge, he quickly went on the offensive and overpowered Eden after a few exchanges. He
Eden looked away and asked in a dry voice, "Why isn't the recipient's name written here?"Alain snuffed out his cigarette. "He didn't donate his heart, it's still in him. For certain reasons, I had to tell everyone else that he died because he donated his heart."Eden stood there wearing all black, her lonesomeness apparent as the light shone on her.At that moment, Alain could feel sorrow in his heart.Eden frowned for a long time before raising her head and looking at him like a savage beast. "I'll verify this, you know? If you’ve lied to me, I'll make sure that you die with him."Alain pursed his lips. "So, the only reason you saved me is because you think Jerred's heart is inside me?"He didn't understand why Eden was willing to save him but refused to treat him completely. Everything made sense now.She did it for Jerred.It seemed like Eden and Jerred had a deep connection.Interesting.The two of them had supposedly never met, but Eden was willing to make so much effor
