Chapter 1424

Eden looked at her wrinkled clothes and smiled, "I'm fine. I just met a few hooligans and then beat them away."

Eden told him what had happened in the restaurant.

The more Victor listened, the more frightened he felt. As soon as she left his sight, something bad would happen.

"Did you get hurt?" Victor pulled her over and had a check-up for her. Seeing that there was no bloodstain on her body and she breathed normally and looked fine, he was finally relieved.

Eden felt warm when she saw how worried he was, "Don't worry. I'm all right. Those gangsters were hurt. I beat them fiercely."

She looked up at the door of the operating room and asked uneasily, "Hasn't Adonis come out yet?"

Victor shook his head with a concerned face. He did not tell Lucian that Adonis was in danger, for fear that he would blame himself even more.

"Candace is inside now, but I don't know what's going on. Aunt Church looks exhausted, so I let her go back to the room to rest for a while."

"That's good. Let's wait here."

"Okay!" Victor took her hand and sat down on a stool aside.

While waiting, Eden told Victor the news she had heard from Adrienne.

Victor's eyes turned slightly cold after he heard that. Adrienne was from the Simpson family.

Since she knew the news, her identity couldn't be simple.

These years, Alwynn Group had been developing rapidly indeed, but Victor had good relationships with the police and the gang. Even if those head-hunting companies wanted to aim at Alwynn Group, they had to think about the consequences.

If they wanted to head for their doom, he could only fulfill their wish.

Speaking of the head-hunting companies, Victor thought of Irving immediately.

That day, Kenny told him that Irving had done many evil things.

Irving ruined many companies like those head-hunting companies, and this was why he could become so rich.

Once a small company rose up and was targeted by him, he would use unscrupulous means to ruin the company and buy it at below market value.

He scoffed at Irving's character.

Irving's company developed in this way. Besides, he did a lot recently just because he wanted to ruin some small companies to make a profit.

However, if Irving dared to aim at Alwynn Group, he did not mind competing with him.

"Eden, I will ask Brian to pay attention to this matter. You don't have to worry. As for the identity of Adrienne, I think I know who she is."

"Who is she?" Eden asked curiously. Adrienne was straightforward, and it seemed that she was a nice person.

"She is the daughter of Barrett Simpson, the richest man in A Country. I heard that Barrett has four daughters and five sons. According to the information I have, his hometown is River City, and he intends to go back to River City to live out his life in retirement. I am on the list of the five richest people. He is the first and I am the fourth. Full credit must go to you." Victor took the opportunity to hold her in his arms. Eden was always his lucky star.

Eden smiled and said, "Our future life may not be peaceful."

Victor said with gloomy eyes, "If he really wants to aim at us, something will happen inevitably.

Moreover, his children are fighting for his property, and there are conflicts in his family. I'm afraid that Barrett is mentally and physically exhausted, so he wants to come back to River City."

Moreover, once anything bad happened in Alwynn Group, there would be a public outcry.

Someone would use people's opinions to attack them.

Barrett was a wily old fox, and he had played a lot of dirty tricks.

He was capable enough to make troubles for them.

Victor glanced at the gloomy sky outside the window, "It seems that there will be a great change in River City."

Eden smiled, "With you by my side, I'm not afraid."

Her unconditional trust made Victor very pleasant.

"Don't worry. I'll protect you."

Eden leaned against his arms. No matter what kind of difficulty they would encounter, they would face it together.

Both of them looked at the door of the operating room. Two hours had passed, but the door of the operating room was still not opened, and they were worried.

In the operating room, Candace had been holding Adonis's hand with tears, telling him bits and pieces of their past, hoping that he would not give up. He was a lucky man because so many people cared about him.

The operation lasted for four hours, and the doctors were exhausted.

When the door of the operating room was opened, Dr. Conley looked at Victor with at ease.

"Mr. Alwynn, Mr. Church has been saved. Although the operation lasted for a long time, it was very successful. A part of the congested blood in his brain was successfully taken out. Now he is in a better condition."

"Thank you so much, Dr. Conley." Victor thanked him sincerely.

Dr. Conley smiled and said, "Thanks to your research fund, we will set up a scientific research institution and try our best to find a way to let Mr. Church wake up."

"Okay! Thank you. As long as Adonis can wake up, you don't have to worry about the funds." Victor looked at the door of the operating room. It seemed that they couldn't see Adonis that day.

Dr. Conley knew what he was thinking, "Mr. Alwynn, Miss Aiken has been talking to Mr. Church. As long as she speaks, Mr. Church has a reaction. Miss Aiken is very important to him. Let her accompany him for a day. Tomorrow, when he is transferred to the general ward, you can visit him."

"Okay!" Victor nodded.

After the doctor left, Victor brought Eden home.

Eden had been in a bad mood these days, because she had been worried about the relationship between Delmont and Paula.

Paula felt that the way Eden looked at her was strange, but so what? Delmont had chosen her, and it had nothing to do with Eden.

She did her own work as usual.

After getting off work, Victor needed to attend a dinner party and left with Dean in advance. Eden worked overtime for an hour and planned go back by taxi.

As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Paula walk to her front. Paula's clothes were taken from her spare cloakroom, and it was different from the clothes she wore at work.

Paula was good at turning material resources to good account.

Eden prepared the cloakroom for herself. She once let Paula wear the clothes inside several times, but Paula used it as her own cloakroom.

She wore Eden's clothes when she met clients and attended parties. Eden had a lot of clothes, and the clothes in the wardrobe were all prepared by her. Victor bought a lot for her in case of unexpected needs.

However, Paula wore her clothes without her permission, which annoyed her.

Paula dressed up so beautifully. Who was she going to meet?

Delmont?

Eden pursed her lips slightly and intended to follow her.

"Oh, what are you doing? Are you blind? Do you know how expensive my dress is? I'm in a hurry to meet my sweetheart. What should I do now?"
