Chapter 1826


    At the Simpson family house.


    The housekeeper hurriedly went upstairs.

    Barrett was going to rest, but before he could finish his tea, he saw Devin, the housekeeper,e


    in a hurry. He frowned and looked at him, "What''s wrong? You failed again?"


    Devin nodded and looked a little nervous. "Yes. She was so stupid. She did exactly what Edith did


    before, so she was caught straight away."


    "Useless! All of them are useless." Barrett''s rough voice sounded terrifying in the night.


    "They can''t even take Eden down, how can I expect them to deal with Victor? I nned everything


    two years ago. I took down the Craig family and helped the Williams family who has a good


    rtionship with Victor, however, Irving, that little b*stard, suddenly withdrew his funds. I was almost


    there, but everything just went wrong one after another. Now, my whole family is about to be


    destroyed by Victor!"


    Barrett felt mentally and physically exhausted.


    Was it because he was too old or because Victor was too powerful?


    He felt there was really no way out for him anymore.


    The housekeeper said, "Sir, Victor has a group of people investigating everything secretly. They are


    really good atputer technology as well. There is a person working in the dark and that''s why we


    failed everything. Our informers said that Victor relied everything on that person. No matter what


    happened, he will be able to solve it quickly with just a phone call."


    "Who is that person?" Barrett red at the housekeeper.


    Now, hispany had been taken away by Victor, his children had betrayed him, his reputation had


    been damaged, he had lost the support of the Woods family, and now even the Eliseo Group have


    joined Victor.


    Victor had almost cut off all his paths.


    "Sir, we haven''t found it out yet."


    "Useless!" Barrett got up and sat on the sofa angrily. He thought he hade up with a perfect n


    all these years, but everything seemed to be so wrong now.


    He just couldn''t break through Victor''s defense at all.


    "What''s so good about Eden? Irving, that little b*stard, even gave up his whole business because of


    her. What I regret most is cooperating with him." Barrett''s hands started trembling with anger.


    Devin thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I heard that the illegitimate daughter of the Parma family


    works in Alwynn Group, maybe we can break through from here. Her name is Aurora Parma. I


    heard that she is in the wedding dress designing department. She is doing a quite good job there.


    And it seems like theirpany really likes her."


    Barrett shook his head, then took a sip of tea and said, "You just came back from abroad, so there


    are some things you don''t understand. The Parma family doesn''t care about this daughter at all,


    and that''s why she is very grateful to Victor when he helped her. So how can she work for you?


    Besides, they will find out what we were doing. It would be better to cooperate with the Parma


    family directly anyway. No matter how powerful Victor is in River City, he still couldn''t do anything on


    his own.


    I heard that Mr. Parma is in River City recently, and I also heard that he likes thend in Locust


    Grove and is bidding now."


    "Oh!" The housekeeper narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. This project sounded very


    familiar to him.


    "By the way, sir, I remember now the biggest bid is probably Hayden Booth now. He had previously


    cooperated with Victor''s wife and had earned a lot of money. I heard that they will continue to


    cooperate this time on this project."


    "Haha..." Barrettughed coldly. "This woman is not simple. She is very ambitious. Speaking of real


    estate, we have to think about the Symantec Group. Zaiden, the president of Symantec Group, is a


    legend in real estate. His family is also as powerful as the Simpson family.


    However, Zaiden always keeps a low profile, so few people know him.


    I heard that he adopted a daughter a few years ago. Many people are trying to find out who this girl


    is, but still, no one knows who she is.


    He has long nned his assets. He will give one part of them to charity, and the rest will be passed


    down to his daughter."


    Devin''s face was full of envy. Some people might not be able to buy a house in their lifetime, but


    Zaiden''s adopted daughter was indeed lucky.


    "Sir, I''ve heard that Mr. Calder is doing business in River City and Gate City. Now..."


    "Don''t you know?" Barrett shook his head. "No one knows his whereabouts. As soon as I returned


    to River City, I sent people to look for him, but they didn''t find him.


    But it doesn''t matter whether he is, as long as we understand that we shouldn''t waste our time and


    effort to try to take him down."


    "I see. I will negotiate with the Parma family," Devin said.


    "And there is another thing. It''s alright if my daughter really wants to marry the son of the Clement


    family, but without my permission, they can''t do anything. Take her back." Barrett was full of rage.


    He had to make sure that he made full use of his daughters.


    "Sure." Then Devin turned and left.


    Barrett looked at Devin''s back and said, "Devin, remember not to rush anything. We have to be


    patient."


    Devin stopped instantly. After thinking about his words, he slightly nodded and then left.


    The next day, Victor didn''t have much to do in thepany, so after breakfast, he took Eden to


    Sean to get her hair done.


    It was going to take around six hours to finish the whole procedure, so Victor asked Sean to look


    after Eden, and then went to meet Eloise with Brian.


    After a whole night''s treatment, Eloise was much better and more energetic.


    Seeing Victore in, she was stunned for a moment, and then said sarcastically, "Mr. Alwynn, you


    really wouldn''t let me get away with it."


    Victor looked at her coldly, and Brian moved a stool for Victor to sit down.


    After Victor sat down gracefully, he looked at Eloise with his harsh gaze.


    "Miss Dawson, I heard that Devin Hopper, who is the housekeeper of Barrett Simpson, is your


    uncle?"


    Eloise was stunned. How did he find out?


    "So what?" She tried to be calm, as she did not know what Victor was up to.


    "Nothing. I heard that your father is a teacher in a school which is invested by Alwynn Group. So I


    guess it wouldn''t be a hard thing if I want your father to lose his job."


    "Victor, don''t do anything to my father. I''m the one who offended you, not my father." Eloise was


    getting worried. Her father and mother were innocent, and she couldn''t let them get hurt.
