"Anyone outside the Hartley family, the Wilson family, and the Reese family, I don't need to investigate at all." Eden laughed smugly.
Cornelia sneered and splashed her drink at Eden, "Eden, if you dare to hurt me again, I can guarantee that someone will make your life worse than death." Having worked with Eden for a while, Cornelia had a fair understanding of this disgusting man.
He was the kind of guy who bullied the weak and feared the strong. If she could make him believe she had powerful backing, he would send someone to investigate, and she could buy herself more time.
But what Cornelia didn't expect was that Eden had tried to kill her more than once.
Eden wiped the water off his face and had someone bring him another mysterious drink, "Little bitch, if your husband is as powerful as you said, why didn't he find out that I was behind the car accident last time?"
"What did you say?" Cornelia's calm face showed a trace of panic.
Having known Cornelia for so long, it's the first time Eden had seen her look so terrified. He felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.
He said, "Not long ago, when you were going home after a meal with friends, a car suddenly rushed towards you. That was no accident. I planned it all. Too bad you're lucky enough to have escaped."
After a short period of panic, Cornelia quickly regained her composure, "You've done a lot of bad things, I'll remember them all and pay you back double someday."
"Another day ? You think you'll have a someday?" Eden approached her with his cup, "Drink it yourself, or have my men feed you, your choice."
With every step he took towards her, Cornelia took a step back.
The people in the room were extremely excited, some even doing disgusting things in public. Cornelia couldn't help but suspect the drink might be laced with drugs.
