Chapter 1449

Seeing that he looked serious, Victor asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"

Brian sighed, "This is a tragedy."

Victor frowned again, "Stop kidding and get down to the business."

Brian snickered, "I'm not kidding."

However, Dean cocked his ears to listen. He was sure that Brian would tell them a piece of shocking news.

He liked the shocking news in rich and powerful families.

Brian smiled and then his face became solemn. He didn't mean to joke at all, "Victor, Barrett bears grudges against your father, and they hated each other when they were young. Barrett wants to live out his life in retirement in River City, but he also wants to ruin the Alwynn family. You have to be careful."

Victor said casually, "How did you get these news?"

Brian said with a smug face, "Your son told me."

Victor frowned. How did Kenny know about it?

"Then why do you look so proud? My son found it out." Victor's tone was much prouder than Brian's.

Brian suddenly looked at him jealously, "I wanted to convince Kenny to join my company, but he looked down on my company. He even said that my company was outdated and it didn't compare with his company. It is so annoying, isn't it?"

Victor raised his eyebrows and said in smug satisfaction, "Kenny is smart and amazing. He doesn't even want to work in Alwynn Group, let alone your company. He is much more outstanding than us."

When Victor thought of Kenny's disdainful eyes, he was speechless as well.

"Ha-ha..." Brian laughed teasingly, "Victor, everyone in River City follow your lead, but I didn't expect you to be looked down upon by your son. It serves you right."

Victor glanced at him, "Don't talk nonsense and get to the point."

He really didn't know what had happened between Barrett and the Alwynn family.

He knew about the Simpson family, but he didn't know that Barrett hated his father.

Although Phillip had retired, he had to clean up the mess for him.

The only thing that made him relieved was that Phillip didn't disturb Jaida's life.

Speaking of this, Brian stopped joking, "As far as I know, Barrett and your father were college classmates. Both of them were top-notch in the business world, and they were matched rivals. They were decisive and exceptionally vigorous in work. However, your father played a trick and the Simpson family suffered losses because of a very important project. Only your father knows the details."

"The Simpson family was dealt a blow, so they left River City and moved abroad. Since then, the Alwynn family has been the most powerful."

"Later, the Alwynn family fell into a crisis, but your father married your mother and survived the crisis with her help. You know what happened after that."

Victor squinted at him, "Have you got to the point?"

Brian nodded, "These are all I know. You'd better go back and ask your father. After all, he definitely played some dirty tricks back then. Otherwise, why should Barrett hate him for so many years?

There must be a reason."

Victor asked expressionlessly, "When will Barrett come back?"

Brian shook his head, "I don't know his specific schedule."

Victor said with a gloomy smile, "His daughter has come back, and Eden happened to save her.

She told Eden that we have been aimed at by head-hunting companies."

Brian nodded, "That's right! I investigated a few head-hunting companies, and I've been paying attention to them. Don't worry."

"What's more, you have an omnipotent son who will help you all the time. This is your greatest advantage."

Brian looked at him enviously.

Victor was as proud as ever.

He sorted out all the things in his mind and then ordered Brian to find out the truth. He could only resolve his doubts by figuring out the truth step by step.

Since Barrett was well-prepared, he might not stand up to his varied tactics.

Moreover, Barrett would use some people around him.

Those who dared to plot against him were all in prison. In this civilized world, he could only use such means to deal with Barrett.

However, he wouldn't be so open and aboveboard in the future.

Eden did not return to the company. When she came out, she had almost finished her work.

She went to the hospital to see Candace again. Candace had no friend here. She was introverted and lived a lonely life every day. The only thing that made her feel happy was that she could accompany Adonis.

However, Eden still worried about her. Candace was sad everyday, and it was better to accompany her more.

She got off the taxi at the hospital gate. As soon as she took a few steps, she saw a familiar figure.

It was Delmont.

He handed several lunch boxes to a nurse, and then the nurse nodded and left with a smile.

Delmont turned around and walked out with a smile.

Eden hid behind a car. After a while, she saw Delmont get in the car and start to eat his meal.

Eden was confused. Was Delmont's friend in the hospital?

She followed the nurse.

The nurse went to the eighth floor. Another elevator happened to arrive, and Eden immediately followed her up.

There were not many people in this high-end hospital owned by Alwynn Group. When Eden walked out of the elevator, she saw the nurse at a glance.

The nurse walked to a ward and knocked on the door gently. Eden was stunned. This was Adrienne's ward.

Oh god!

Delmont actually bought lunch for Adrienne.

Eden could not help but think of the conversation she had with Delmont that night.

"Her family background is much better than ours, and she was my junior in college. We fell in love with each other when we were in college. Later, something happened, so we had to break up."

Was Adrienne Delmont's beloved woman?

Adrienne was Barrett's daughter, and her family was indeed richer than the Clement family.

She walked over quietly and listened to the conversation inside, "Miss Simpson, this is the lunch Mrs. Alwynn prepared for you."

Eden widened her eyes when she heard that. Was the lunch prepared by her?

She was totally shocked. Delmont actually bought meals for Adrienne in the name of her!

"Thank you! Please ask Mrs. Alwynn why she knows what I like to eat." Adrienne gritted her teeth and said.

She even emphasized the words "Mrs. Alwynn".

Eden shivered. She felt that Adrienne was angry.

The nurse said, "Miss Simpson, Mrs. Alwynn is a very considerate person. Eat while it's hot. You can leave the hospital in three days."

After that, she didn't say anything else and left.

Eden immediately entered the ward next door.

She opened her mouth slightly in surprise. She thought that Delmont liked fashionable and pure girls, but his beloved woman was actually Adrienne who was elegant , noble and easy-going.

This matter came as a complete shock for her.

Adrienne looked gentle when she was quiet. When she spoke, she was mature and self-confident.

She could be either tender or commanding.

Eden composed her emotions before walking out of the ward slowly.

She looked back and saw that there were no patient in the ward. Then she walked out with ease.
