Chapter 2044
"Hello?" Eden said while walking to the kitchen.
She poured a cup of boiled water and took a few sips.
"Eden, you were just scalded. Why do you have to ruin my life?" A miserable and excited voice came from the phone, and the tone was full of hatred.
Eden felt that the voice was a little familiar. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Are you Maisy?"
"It's me, Eden. I lost a hundred million dollars because of you!" Maisy roared at Eden.
Eden instantly understood that it was Maisy who ordered the waitress yesterday.
"Go and ask Barrett for the money. You've hurt my hands successfully. Barrett will give you a handsome reward." Eden said mockingly. Maisy was very arrogant yesterday, wasn't she? Why did she cry at this time?
"You b*tch! You and Victor are too heartless! I just admire Victor, don't I? But he treats me so viciously. Eden, you don't know how cruel your husband is behind your back, right? You should never know how terrible he is, right?"
Eden's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She said angrily, "It's because of you ungrateful people that he has become so hardhearted!"
"Eden, I won't give up. Victor made me lose everything, and I will drag you into the mire!"
Maisy hung up the phone.
Eden glanced upstairs. Victor had not gotten up yet.
Her good mood was ruined by Maisy in the early morning.
Therefore, Victor had known that it was Maisy who hurt her, but he didn't tell her. Instead, he taught her a lesson behind her back.
If she didn't know it, she would feel at ease.
Victor was not an unreasonable person. He was cold-blooded because those people were too greedy.
She wouldn't be angry with him, and she would treat him well.
He was the greatest man in the world, and there was nothing unforgivable.
He loved her so much. As long as someone hurt her, he would remove all the barriers for her.
He always knew how aggrieved and sad she was.
Eden adjusted her mood and went upstairs with a glass of hot water.
Victor woke up. His heart was empty was Eden was not by his side.
As soon as he got dressed, Eden pushed the door open and came in. He walked over, took the hot water from her hand and took a sip, "Dear, why did you get up so early?" "Because I slept early last night." Eden took the empty cup from his hand.
Victor hugged her and acted like a spoiled child, "Honey, it's snowing. I'm not going anywhere today. I'll stay at home with you."
Eden looked at him with a smile. Didn't she know what he was thinking?
This was the excuse he made. He wanted to stay at home to take care of her.
"Do you dislike going to work so much?"
Eden walked aside and sat down. Wisps of steam puffed from her lips. It was really cold.
"Yep, I want to stay with you." Victor sat down beside her again.
His words touched her.
"Alright, don't go work today. I'll go to the company with you tomorrow, okay?" Eden compromised and leaned against his shoulder.
Victor liked it when she replied on him. He turned to look at her, "Honey, do you have something on your mind?"
"No, I'm just very touched." Eden looked up and smiled sweetly at him, "It has been snowing, and it's beautiful outside, but the weather is so cold. Why don't we have hotpot today?" "Okay, I'll go to the supermarket later."
Eden shook her head, "Why do we have to go out on such a cold day? We can cook the soup ourselves and order takeout. Now we can buy all kinds of food online, and we only have to pay the deliver fee." Victor smiled and said in a doting tone, "Okay, it's all up to you."
Eden glanced at herself and said worriedly, "It seems that I will gain some weight this winter."
Victor chuckled, "Whether you've gained weight or not, I'll know it after hugging you. Come on, let me hold you."
Eden was speechless.
"You're thinner, and you're not fat at all." Victor rubbed her waist fearlessly.
"You're a liar, and I don't believe you. The weight scale won't fool me."
Victor looked at her seriously and said with a smile, "Of course it will. Didn't you see the news? Many street vendors tampered with their scales to give short measure. It's unreliable."
Eden couldn't outargue him, but she got her wish and ate hot pot. Although it was a soup pot, she was very satisfied.
After lunch, Eden climbed the stairs to help with her digestion. After a while, she went to the study to see Victor. She had to talk to him.
She did not knock on the door and went straight in. As soon as she entered the study, Victor hang up the phone immediately.
Eden was stunned. He really tried to hide it from her.
"Eden, you're here." Victor walked to her with a smile.
Seeing that she suddenly broke in, he was not angry. Eden was very satisfied with his attitude.
She stared at him with intense eyes, "Who were you talking to? Couldn't I listen to you?"
"It was something about work. I had finished my words when you came in, and I was in a hurry to greet you."
"I'm not a guest. Do you have to greet me? What's more, the worst thing is that you don't want to communicate with me. If you don't let me know your heart, we'll quarrel sooner or later." Hearing this, Victor knew that she was serious.
He immediately comforted her, "Eden, you think too much, and you've misunderstood me."
Eden was a little relieved. At least, Victor was willing to explain. He didn't say anything rude or impatient to her. Many men would say something hurtful when they were annoyed by their wives. "Alright, I don't mind this. Let's talk about another thing now."
Victor's heart tightened when he saw her serious expression.
Seeing that he was nervous, Eden was amused for no reason. He really did something behind her back.
"Maisy called me this morning. What did you do to her?"
Victor had known about this matter. Lucian had installed a bug in Maisy's phone, because they wanted to keep an eye on her at any time. They were about to carry out their plan.
Devin and Paulina were transferring Barrett's property.
Barrett was obsessed with Paulina's gentleness, which offered Paulina a chance to transfer most of his property.
He smiled unconcernedly, "Nothing. I did unto her what she had done to you. If I didn't teach her a lesson, she would do something bad to you again."
"But wouldn't she take revenge on me more maliciously since you've taught her a lesson?" Eden took his hand. He held her hand gently and caressed it lightly.
"No, she can't." Victor promised her.
Eden didn't want to be unreasonable, and she didn't want to argue with him because of Maisy, "Victor, in the future, don't do such things in person. They'll be punished by law. You know what I mean, right?" "I know." Victor smiled brightly and pulled her up, "Let's go, dear. I'll take you somewhere."
