    Chapter 570 What About Bryxton?


    "You treat me with insincere feelings like you''re trying to appease me, afraid I might do something


    wrong again. You always say I have you, but you consider me an outsider. You''re just... Ree, I don''t like


    you."


    Robert''s face darkened as he turned and walked back to the vi.


    I stood there stunned, not quite sure what he was ranting about. However, upon closer inspection, he


    wasn''t entirely wrong. Despite my efforts to change myself and wholeheartedly ept him, it took time,


    and I still had reservations. However, I had been treating him with the utmost kindness, even though


    my feelings for him were not as deep as they should be. He was just a responsibility on my shoulders,


    and I only cared about his well-being, nothing more.


    Moreover, I had some feelings for him, but they were more pity and sympathy than anything else.


    I was sure Robert had realized this too.


    He even thought that I was closer to Kevin than him.


    But Kevin and I had known each other for a long time, and he was like a brother to me.


    He genuinely cared for me.


    On the other hand, Robert was not bad, but he had some mental illness.


    I had suffered a lot because of him.


    Feeling restless, I closed my eyes, not knowing how tofort Robert. I went into the vi to keep the


    two childrenpany. After a while, Robert went downstairs, and my mother asked him, "Are you


    going out, Rob?"


    Robert nodded.


    Then, he left the vi.


    He never came back to Felix''s Vi. That night, Jennifer called him, but he didn''t answer. Instead, he


    texted, ''I want to go home. My mother is waiting for me. I''ll go back and spend some time with her.''


    Robert didn''t want to stay here anymore. I guessed it was because of me.


    I sighed inwardly, and Jennifer asked me in confusion, "Rob said his mom treated him poorly. Will he


    suffer when he goes back?"


    Robert was going back to see his birth mother.


    That birth mother of his...


    Robert wouldn''t benefit from going back.


    "No, he''s not that foolish. At most..."


    At most, he would be heartbroken again and again.


    My mother asked with concern, "At most what?"


    "Nothing. After all, she is still his mother."


    Hearing this, my mother didn''t ask about Robert''s situation anymore, but I was uneasy. I knew I had


    made a mistake, but it wasn''t intentional; it happened unconsciously.


    From my perspective, there was no major issue with my rtionship with Robert. After all, I had never


    done anything wrong to him. I just didn''t give him what he wanted, which made him sad.


    In the end, I was still the one who made him unhappy.


    I sighed deeply, and Jennifer asked, "What are you thinking? Where is Shawn?"


    "Shawn is on a business trip. What about Dad?"

    "Your dad is in the backyard taking care of the garden."


    I gently rubbed the cheeks of my two children and went to the backyard to find Otto, my father. He was


    trimming tree branches, and I stood beside him and asked, "Dad, how is Felix Corporation doing


    recently?"


    While his back was facing me, Otto said, "I haven''t been involved in the business. ir handles


    everything. However, I heard him talking about itst night. Thepany''s development is stable, and


    many things are on track. Oh, by the way, Gary has returned to work at thepany."


    "Right, Gary is familiar with Felix Corporation," I said.


    Otto cut off a branch and continued, "ir wants to do business with Nichs. I can tell that he has a


    good impression of Nichs. I see that they have been getting along well."


    Since ir and Nichs joined forces two years ago to trade with Quinn, their rtionship had been


    good. Later, ir even spoke for Nichs to me.


    ir epted Nichs.


    He believed that Nichs was worth dealing with.


    "Nichs'' character is not a problem, and he has much power in Bryxton. ir must cooperate with


    Nichs if he wants to establish a foothold in Bryxton. After all, Nichs is the local powerhouse."


    In Bryxton, the most powerful family was the former Felix Corporation. After thepany''s bankruptcy,


    only Forger Corporation was left. Alfred and Ezekiel were neers to Bryxton, and they did not


    understand Bryxton as well as Nichs did, including the current Xenos Solutions.


    The Xenos Solutions'' influence in Bryxton was rtively small, so my direct measure of controlling


    Bryxton was to transfer people from Eldham and allocate more resources here.


    However, some things could not be aplished overnight.


    While dominating Bryxton, Xenos Solutions needed time to develop slowly. Nichs was very


    important. As long as he did not obstruct anything, there would not be any big trouble in Bryxton in the


    next year or two. Even in the worst-case scenario, Bryxton would be calm until the end of the year.


    I hope everything will be peaceful.


    "That''s true. However, Nichs annexed Felix Corporation before. I hope ir will pay attention to


    everything." Otto turned around and continued to ask, "What about the marriage between you and that


    bloke?"


    It took me a while to realize he was referring to Shawn.


    "Didn''t we already get married?" I asked.


    Otto shook his head. "I''m talking about the wedding."


    Shawn and I did not have a wedding ceremony


    He never talked about it to me.


    "We already got the certificate. We can have the wedding anytime. Besides, it''s just a formality.


    Whether we have a wedding or not doesn''t matter to me."


    Otto disapproved and said, "I didn''t have the chance to attend your wedding with Nichs, but for your


    wedding with Shawn... Ree, even though you''re not my birth daughter, I''ve treated you as my own


    since you were young. I was selfish enough to leave you all of the Felix Corporation but nothing for


    Leon and ir! You should know how much I love you. My biggest dream is to walk down the aisle with


    you."


    At his words, tears welled up in my eyes.


    As I thought carefully about my past, I realized my parents had doted on me since I was young, and I


    had never considered myself an adoptee.


    "I promise," I replied. "Wait for my good news."


    Upon hearing my promise, Otto smiled from ear to ear. "Take some time to discuss it with Shawn. Don''t


    make us wait too long."


    "Okay, I''ll gonna go to Skyler and River now."


    Returning to the living room, I didn''t see the children. I guessed that Jennifer and the nanny had taken


    them out for a walk, so I took the car keys and went to Xenos Solutions'' branch. Gary wasn''t there, so I


    dealt with some of the umted documents and then went to the Felix Corporation.


    The Felix Corporation was now located in the same building as before. It was alreadyte when I


    arrived, but the receptionist recognized me and didn''t stop me. I took the familiar elevator to the top


    floor.


    Walking down the hallway in my ts, I heard Nichs'' voice as soon as I arrived at the office door.


    "Sundew is under your control. Whether youe back or not is not a problem, but staying in


    Bryxton..."


    ir''s low, puzzled voice interrupted him. "What about Bryxton?"
