Chapter 1537


    Phillip looked at him and felt very guilty. In those years, Reba kept defaming Victor in front of


    him, so he seldom treated Victor kindly.


    He either cursed him or spoke to him coldly.


    "Victor, so many years have happened. As your father, I know that you have disentangled yourself


    from the past. Otherwise, you wouldn''t sit opposite me and have lunch with me today."


    Victor didn''t say anything, and they finished the meal silently.


    Phillip made two cups of tea and they went to the living room.


    Thinking of the past, Phillip did not want to mention it.


    "I didn''t expect Barrett toe back." After saying that, Phillip took a sip of of the nice tea.


    "What on earth happened in the past?" This was the reason why he came here.


    Phillip sighed, "You know that the business world is like a battlefield. Back then, I was younger than


    you. All I thought about was wealth, opportunities and status, and I made full preparation all the


    time. As long as there was a chance, I would not let it go."


    "At that time, I had had some savings, striving for further improvement."


    "Finally, there was an opportunity, and I seized it."


    "At that time, Alwynn Group had developed along the right lines, but when I got the investment from


    Amand Real Estate, a person suddenly appeared. It was Barrett."


    "Back then, the Simpson family was rich and powerful. He got interested in Amand Real Estate with


    me at the same time. That''s how the story began."


    "I could almost sign the contract, but he terminated the contract by all kinds of means secretly."


    "I didn''t know what he had done until I went to sign the contract happily. He used despicable means


    to send his favorite woman to the president of Amand Real Estate''s bed and won the project which


    was worth hundreds of billions of dors. Then he became the chairman of Amand Group and got


    great power."


    "For a moment, his reputation, contacts and status all became top-notch."


    "At that time, I was young and vigorous. I had prepared for the project for more than one year, and I


    didn''t want my hard work to be ruined."


    "In this world, no one can seed easily. People have to pay a heavy price for every progress they


    make."


    "The project was worth hundreds of billions of dors. Did the Simpson family have so much money


    at that time?" Victor asked in confusion. Even the Alwynn family didn''t have such great power back


    then.


    Phillip nodded, "The Simpson family was indeed not that powerful, but he had a wide range of


    contacts, so the banks were willing to loan him money."


    "I yed some tricks behind his back just because of this. The woman he loved most came to me


    and wanted to take revenge on him. After Barrett took advantage of her, he abandoned her."


    "Barrett married the eldest daughter of the Howard family. That is his first wife."


    Hearing this, Victor could almost guess the ending.


    "What happenedter?" Victor wanted to know the ending of the woman. He had a hunch that she


    was the key to defeat Barrett.


    "Later, I cooperated with that woman. I used my connections to let the newspaper report the


    rtionship between her and Barrett."


    "The Press had got a sniff that Barrett yed a sinister trick before taking over Amand Real Estate.


    As soon as the news was reported, it caused a great disturbance in River City. The government


    investigated him and the evidence was conclusive, and Barrett''s reputation was ruined."


    "All the bank refused to cooperate with him. That woman was loyal to him. At that time, most of


    people were feudal-minded. After this matter was reported, she was too ashamed to live in this


    world."


    "After their rtionship was exposed, Barrett went to her, and she jumped off the building in front of


    him."


    "Did shemit suicide?" Victor didn''t expect the result to be like this.


    "Yes, shemitted suicide." A trace of guilt shed through Phillip''s eyes. In that era, it was


    shameful to have sex with men before getting married. When she went to Phillip, she had made up


    her mind to die.


    "Shemitted suicide, which surprised me a lot, too. But no matter how cruel, aggressive and


    ambitious Barrett was, as a man, his heart was always soft to someone."


    "I didn''t expect that he loved the woman the most, and her identity was not simple. She was the


    daughter of the president of a bank in River City, and her family was rich. She hid her identity in


    front of Barrett."


    "She wanted true love, but Barrett betrayed her heartlessly."


    "Her mother was a famous strong woman. After her daughtermitted suicide, she attacked the


    Simpson family crazily."


    "Barrett knew that it was me who arranged everything behind the scenes. The death of his beloved


    woman gave him a severe blow. After knowing the identity of the woman, he was even more


    regretful. The Simpson family went bankrupt overnight. Barrett escaped with his wife, and the


    Simpson family declined."


    "Many yearster, I learned that his daughter came back here to study, but he didn''te back. A


    girl couldn''t do anything to hurt me, so I didn''t pay attention to it."


    "Later, only the Alwynn family had the ability to take over Amand Real Estate in River City. I took


    over Amand Real Estate sessfully. The street where yourpany locates used to belong to


    Amand Real Estate. You know this."


    "Barrett hates me, because he thinks that it is me who killed his beloved woman. That is why he


    came back to take revenge on our family."


    Victor said, "That''s it?"


    Phillip smiled and asked in reply, "Then what do you want? Am I not wronged enough?"


    "That woman was afraid of beingughed at by people, so she chose tomit suicide. What did it


    have to do with you? Did you do anything else to Barrett?"


    Victor couldn''t understand. Since Barrett loved the woman so much, but did he send her to another


    man''s bed?


    Such a terrible betrayal made the woman desperate indeed.


    Phillip nodded, "That girl is named Lilyana Osborn. She''s very beautiful. Any man who saw her


    would be tempted by her."

    "Barrett naturally took her as a treasure, but he loved money more."


    "It was me who told Lilyana where Barrett stayed. That was why she had the opportunity tomit


    suicide before him. It was an unforgettable pain in Barrett''s life."


    "How could I know the reason why Lilyana wanted to know Barrett''s address was that she wanted


    tomit suicide before him?"


    "Moreover, I got Amand Real Estate, which was something he couldn''t ept the most."


    Victor finally understood.


    "I see. This kind of thing can''t be solved by other ways. The only way to solve it is to go against him


    openly." Victor got up. After knowing the whole story, he should leave.
