Eden had tried to ask Sofia about her father several times, but Sofia refused to speak about it.That was why when Melinda came looking for her, Eden didn't hesitate to agree to come to Estburg.Once in Estburg, she used her hacking skills to access a certain agency's records of all incoming and outgoing persons from the past 20 years. Strangely, there was no record of her father's arrival at all.It was as if her father had never existed in this world.She refused to believe that a living, breathing person could simply disappear without a trace.Even if her grandmother tried to stop her, Eden was determined to continue her investigation.After standing silently for a long time, Eden turned around, tucked Sofia in, and left the ward.Meanwhile, Alain went to the doctor's office.Dr. Smith, Sofia's attending physician, had just finished surgery. Upon hearing that Alain was looking for him, he immediately hurried over."Mr. Ward," Dr. Smith said nervously, standing beside Alain,

The new restaurant was Kentran.When they arrived, Alain asked Horace to take Eden upstairs while he stayed behind to speak with Caelus about something. Afterward, Caelus left.Eden wasn't particularly hungry, so she stopped eating after a few bites. She asked the waiter for a few bottles of beer and expertly opened one with her teeth, like a seasoned pro.She enjoyed drinking beer; it helped soothe her irritation. Other types of alcohol like wine and imports weren't her thing.Horace was amazed at her skill. "You're only 19, yet you're drinking like that?"Eden glanced at him with a hint of attitude. "Got a problem with that?""Uh, no, none," Horace stammered nervously, feeling insecure under her disdainful gaze. He would be glad if she would stop looking at him like he was an idiot.Eden ignored him and focused on her phone, sipping her beer.Watching her down bottle after bottle, Horace couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is the beer that good?"Accustomed to expensive red wi

Melinda shot Eden a piercing glare.She had never expressed a desire to disown Eden; it was Eden who had declared she wanted nothing to do with the Hunt family.Yet, Alain not only took her statement seriously but had now brought Jasmine and Eden back home.No matter how furious she felt, pleasing Alain was now her priority.Melinda was acutely aware that if Alain decided to break off the engagement, her future days in the Hunt family would be fraught with difficulty."I didn’t say I want to break the engagement," Alain stated emotionlessly as he gazed at Catherine.The elderly woman was taken aback, sighing heavily. "Looks like I’ve had a misunderstanding.""You did misunderstand," Alain affirmed as he rose to his feet, casting a long shadow in the room's light.With an icy demeanor, he declared, "The consequence of severing ties with Eden is this: I will withdraw all my investment with the Hunt family."What?Catherine gasped, nearly falling back into her seat.Withdraw hi

On their way back to Skygarden, the more Horace dwelled on Melinda's behavior, the more enraged he became. Unable to contain himself, he turned to Eden and asked bluntly, "Is she really your biological mother?"Eden tilted her head slightly and gave him a mischievous smile. "She really is.""Why do I get the feeling you were picked up from somewhere else?" Horace mused, narrowing his eyes. Then a thought struck him, and he ventured, "Maybe you should go for a maternity test?"He couldn't shake the feeling that Melinda and Eden weren't genuinely mother and daughter. No mother, he thought, would treat their own child in such a callous manner."Sheesh, tell me about it," Eden chuckled, her laughter light but tinged with melancholy.Even Horace couldn't help but feel sorry for her.The truth was, Eden had indeed undergone a maternity test. On the day Melinda found her, Eden had discreetly obtained Melinda's DNA for analysis. The result was disappointing—Melinda was indeed her biologi

Class 3-18 and Class 3-17 ranked lowest academically among the year group.Not only were students in these classes struggling academically, but they were also notoriously difficult to manage, with frequent conflicts erupting.Most teachers were reluctant to take on these classes.Firstly, managing them was a challenge in itself.Secondly, Riverside Senior High had built a reputation as an elite school, attracting more children from wealthy and influential families in recent years. This increased competition for limited spots, often squeezing out students from less affluent backgrounds unless they excelled academically.The intensive classes mainly comprised students from ordinary families, with only a few from affluent backgrounds. Teachers preferred these classes due to higher postsecondary enrollment rates and less trouble.The worst classes were on the verge of having no homeroom teachers at all.Following Grant, Eden entered Class 3-18 with her head slightly lowered.The cl
