Chapter 1231

Jasper looked at Victor and said with a smile, "Victor, I want to chat with Eden alone. Make yourself scarce. It won't take too long."

Hearing this, Victor was naturally unhappy. Eden was his wife. Why should he leave?

However, Jasper had not seen Eden for a long time, and Eden didn't meet him because of Maureen. Since they had met, of course they would talk to each other.

He glanced at Eden and raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, "Eden, I will come to pick you up half an hour later."

"Okay!" Eden nodded with a smile and walked towards Jasper.

Jasper's eyes were gentle as he watched her walk towards him.

He took a glass of juice from the waiter. He had been depressed these days, and he really wanted to drink, but he was afraid that she might worry about him. He hadn't recovered and came to the party weakly.

He just wanted to see her. If he met her at the party, he could pretend that he met her coincidentally.

Eden found that he was much thinner than before and looked him up and down, "Jasper, don't you eat your meals on time recently? Why have you lost so much weight?"

Jasper lowered his head and glanced at himself. Indeed, he did not eat much these days. He looked at her and said with a smile, "I think I look quite good now. I was too strong before. After losing weight, I look much younger, don't I? Don't you think so?" Saying this, Jasper even raised his handsome face proudly so that she could see him more clearly.

"Ha-ha... That's right. Look at you. You look like an eighteen-year-old boy now." Eden looked at him with a smile. She could finally rest assured when she saw him standing in front of her and smiling at her.

"Jasper, have you eaten yet? If you haven't, we can eat together. I haven't had anything."

Jasper took her aside, "Not yet. Let's eat together."

Victor felt a bit uncomfortable in heart as he watched them leave while talking and laughing.

He turned around. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a beautiful woman stand in front of him and look at him with a charming smile.

Victor's eyes suddenly turned cold. When he was about to walk past Dorothy, she said gently, "Mr.

Alwynn, could we speak privately? My father is the president of Monroe Group, and my name is Dorothy. I always want to talk to you about our cooperation. You will definitely be interested in our conditions."

"I'm not interested." Victor said indifferently and wanted to leave.

Dorothy looked at Victor in a daze. Just now, she had tried her best to smile attractively, but Victor was unmoved.

She smiled and moved a step, blocking Victor's way.

Victor caught a whiff of strong perfume and immediately took a few steps back. A trace of disgust flashed through his eyes. He always hated such smell of perfume.

Seeing how disgusted he was, Dorothy frowned slightly. But she remained an elegant smile for the sake of her company, "Mr. Alwynn, you refused without even listening to me. Please give me a few minutes. I'll finish my words quickly."

Victor glanced at her, "Monroe Group runs real estate. The price of your shares dropped by this morning. If the shares continue to depreciate on the stock markets, Monroe Group will go bankrupt.

What benefits will I get by cooperating with you?" Victor's tone was quite sarcastic. He did not have the interest to clean up the mess for others.

Dorothy was rendered speechless. At this moment, all her confidence had been ruined by Victor's heartless and cold words.

What she did not expect was that Victor actually knew about the current situation of Monroe Group.

She smiled delectably and walked to Victor cautiously, "Mr. Alwynn, give me ten minutes and let's talk in a quite place. We sincerely want to cooperate with Alwynn Group. Although the shares continue to depreciate, we haven't gone bankrupt yet. As long as you're willing to cooperate with us, we can give you the greatest profits. Mr. Alwynn, what do you think?"

Dorothy was a little anxious. Every man would be obsessed by her when they saw her beautiful face, but there was no emotion in Victor's eyes. He not only didn't admire her, but also looked at her with disgust.

If the company went bankrupt, she would lose everything. At this moment, she did not dare to act recklessly. If she could seduce Victor, this matter would be solved easily. If she could not, it would be too late for her to look for another investor.

"Mr. Alwynn, please give me ten minutes." Her tone was a bit flirty.

Ordinary men's hearts would melt when they heard her speak like this. However, Victor had been cold-blooded, and he didn't like any woman except for Eden. He only felt disgusted when he heard her coquettish voice.

Victor said indifferently, "Can you change my mind if I give you ten minutes?"

Hearing this, Dorothy felt that she still had a chance. Moreover, Eden was not here, so this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. "Mr. Alwynn, we will give the biggest profits to Alwynn Group. The Alwynn Group will definitely make a profit and won't suffer any loss." Dorothy mentioned the profits all the time. Victor was a businessman, and what he cared about the most was how much money he could earn.

Moreover, Victor cared about money the most. Over the years, he had been doing his best to make money and constantly expanded his business. He was the most powerful man in River City.

As long as she could have something to do with him, she would be very rich.

"Humph!" Victor snorted, "Won't I suffer any loss? You're quite confident. Just tell me why I can make money by cooperating with you. You don't even have money to finish those unfinished buildings. If Alwynn Group want to invest, I have to spend endless money on the buildings. Is this your so-called profit?"

Victor said mockingly. After that, he ignored Dorothy and strode forward.

Seeing this, Dorothy panicked and ran to chase after him.

"Mr. Alwynn, please give me some time. The land that we own has a nice location." Dorothy once again ran to Victor's front and blocked his way.

Victor frowned, and he had lost his patience, "Get lost!"

Dorothy felt that she was greatly humiliated.

No one had ever asked her to get lost.

"Mr. Alwynn." Dorothy looked at Victor with a dejected face.

At this moment, a man came in a hurry with a glass of wine in his hand and elbowed Dorothy with great strength. It seemed that he did it on purpose.

"Ah..." Dorothy screamed and sprang at Victor.

She fell into Victor's arms.

"I'm sorry." The man apologized and left in a hurry.

Not far away, someone took pictures of this scene.

Victor immediately pushed away Dorothy. Dorothy was caught off guard. She staggered backward before managing to steady herself.

"Get the hell out of my way!" Victor was full of hostility, and even the atmosphere had turned much colder.
