Gluey Love Between Us
Chapter 1537

Phillip looked at him and felt very guilty. In those years, Rebecca kept defaming Victor in front of him, so he seldom treated Victor kindly.

He either cursed him or spoke to him coldly.

"Victor, so many years have happened. As your father, I know that you have disentangled yourself from the past. Otherwise, you wouldn't sit opposite me and have lunch with me today."

Victor didn't say anything, and they finished the meal silently.

Phillip made two cups of tea and they went to the living room.

Thinking of the past, Phillip did not want to mention it.

"I didn't expect Barrett to come back." After saying that, Phillip took a sip of of the nice tea.

"What on earth happened in the past?" This was the reason why he came here.

Phillip sighed, "You know that the business world is like a battlefield. Back then, I was younger than you. All I thought about was wealth, opportunities and status, and I made full preparation all the time. As long as there was a chance, I would not let it go."

"At that time, I had had some savings, striving for further improvement."

"Finally, there was an opportunity, and I seized it."

"At that time, Alwynn Group had developed along the right lines, but when I got the investment from Amand Real Estate, a person suddenly appeared. It was Barrett."

"Back then, the Simpson family was rich and powerful. He got interested in Amand Real Estate with me at the same time. That's how the story began."

"I could almost sign the contract, but he terminated the contract by all kinds of means secretly."

"I didn't know what he had done until I went to sign the contract happily. He used despicable means to send his favorite woman to the president of Amand Real Estate's bed and won the project which was worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Then he became the chairman of Amand Group and got great power."

"For a moment, his reputation, contacts and status all became top-notch."

"At that time, I was young and vigorous. I had prepared for the project for more than one year, and I didn't want my hard work to be ruined."

"In this world, no one can succeed easily. People have to pay a heavy price for every progress they make."

"The project was worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Did the Simpson family have so much money at that time?" Victor asked in confusion. Even the Alwynn family didn't have such great power back then. Phillip nodded, "The Simpson family was indeed not that powerful, but he had a wide range of contacts, so the banks were willing to loan him money."

"I played some tricks behind his back just because of this. The woman he loved most came to me and wanted to take revenge on him. After Barrett took advantage of her, he abandoned her."

"Barrett married the eldest daughter of the Howard family. That is his first wife."

Hearing this, Victor could almost guess the ending.

"What happened later?" Victor wanted to know the ending of the woman. He had a hunch that she was the key to defeat Barrett.

"Later, I cooperated with that woman. I used my connections to let the newspaper report the relationship between her and Barrett."

"The Press had got a sniff that Barrett played a sinister trick before taking over Amand Real Estate. As soon as the news was reported, it caused a great disturbance in River City. The government investigated him and the evidence was conclusive, and Barrett's reputation was ruined."

"All the bank refused to cooperate with him. That woman was loyal to him. At that time, most of people were feudal-minded. After this matter was reported, she was too ashamed to live in this world." "After their relationship was exposed, Barrett went to her, and she jumped off the building in front of him."

"Did she commit suicide?" Victor didn't expect the result to be like this.

"Yes, she committed suicide." A trace of guilt flashed through Phillip's eyes. In that era, it was shameful to have sex with men before getting married. When she went to Phillip, she had made up her mind to die. "She committed suicide, which surprised me a lot, too. But no matter how cruel, aggressive and ambitious Barrett was, as a man, his heart was always soft to someone."

"I didn't expect that he loved the woman the most, and her identity was not simple. She was the daughter of the president of a bank in River City, and her family was rich. She hid her identity in front of Barrett." "She wanted true love, but Barrett betrayed her heartlessly."

"Her mother was a famous strong woman. After her daughter committed suicide, she attacked the Simpson family crazily."

"Barrett knew that it was me who arranged everything behind the scenes. The death of his beloved woman gave him a severe blow. After knowing the identity of the woman, he was even more regretful. The Simpson family went bankrupt overnight. Barrett escaped with his wife, and the Simpson family declined."

"Many years later, I learned that his daughter came back here to study, but he didn't come back. A girl couldn't do anything to hurt me, so I didn't pay attention to it."

"Later, only the Alwynn family had the ability to take over Amand Real Estate in River City. I took over Amand Real Estate successfully. The street where your company locates used to belong to Amand Real Estate. You know this."

"Barrett hates me, because he thinks that it is me who killed his beloved woman. That is why he came back to take revenge on our family."

Victor said, "That's it?"

Phillip smiled and asked in reply, "Then what do you want? Am I not wronged enough?"

"That woman was afraid of being laughed at by people, so she chose to commit suicide. What did it have to do with you? Did you do anything else to Barrett?"

Victor couldn't understand. Since Barrett loved the woman so much, but did he send her to another man's bed?

Such a terrible betrayal made the woman desperate indeed.

Phillip nodded, "That girl is named Lilyana Osborn. She's very beautiful. Any man who saw her would be tempted by her."

"Barrett naturally took her as a treasure, but he loved money more."

"It was me who told Lilyana where Barrett stayed. That was why she had the opportunity to commit suicide before him. It was an unforgettable pain in Barrett's life." "How could I know the reason why Lilyana wanted to know Barrett's address was that she wanted to commit suicide before him?"

"Moreover, I got Amand Real Estate, which was something he couldn't accept the most."

Victor finally understood.

"I see. This kind of thing can't be solved by other ways. The only way to solve it is to go against him openly." Victor got up. After knowing the whole story, he should leave.
