Gluey Love Between Us
Chapter 1598

Adrienne turned around and returned to her room. She sat on the sofa with her slender legs crossed, picked up the phone on the tea table and dialed Victor's number without hesitation. Victor and Eden had come home. Eden was changing her clothes.

Victor glanced at the strange phone number and hesitated for a while before answering the phone.

"Mr. Alwynn, this is me, Adrienne."

The expression in Victor's eyes didn't change as he said in a low voice, "Mm."

Adrienne could tell that it was inconvenient for him to speak at the moment.

"Why don't I call you later?"

"Okay." Victor hung up the phone quickly.

He walked towards Eden and saw that she was about to put on the coat. Her wrist was revealed, but there were some bruises on it.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Victor pulled her wrist in a hurry and had a look. Seeing the pinch marks, he immediately understood what had happened.

D*mn Abigail! She couldn't bear to scratch Anson but tortured Eden.

Eden shook her head slightly, "It's okay. It has been healed."

"I don't believe you. Don't you feel painful?" Victor pulled her and sat down on the sofa aside.

"Victor..."

"Sit down. I'll get the medicine chest for you." Hearing Victor's firm tone, Eden smiled helplessly. She sat down obediently and waited for Victor to come back. Victor came back soon. He put the medicine chest on the ground, knelt in front of Eden on one knee and disinfected her wound with iodine and cotton buds.

Victor's eyes were gloomy and mad as he looked at the blue and purple pinch marks.

"Why didn't you say it at that time?" Victor said with a trace of fury in his tone.

Eden lowered her head and stared at him with her starry eyes, "Abby felt so painful at that time."

Victor felt as if his heart had been shot by an arrow. He only cared if she was painful or not.

After treating her wound carefully, Victor put away the medicine chest, "I'm going to the market. You rest at home."

Eden looked at him in surprise, "Do you know how to choose food ingredients?" In her memory, he had never gone to the market.

Victor's face looked a little unnatural. He blinked his black eyes and raised his voice, "Who said that I don't know how to choose food ingredients? I want to eat the dumplings made by you. I'll come back from the market soon."

Victor turned around and left without waiting for Eden to reply.

Eden did not think much. After putting on her clothes, she went to the kitchen to make preparations.

Victor drove far away and parked the car at the side of the road before he called Adrienne.

"Hello? Mr. Alwynn."

"Mm!" Victor replied indifferently.

Adrienne smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "It seems that you've known that I would call you."

In the past, she wanted to cooperate with Eden, but Victor doted on her so much and Delmont cared about her. If something bad happened to Eden, she would definitely be in trouble.

After thinking about it over and over again, she thought it was better to cooperate with Victor.

Victor did not expect Adrienne to call him, either.

According to the information he got, Adrienne and Morgan didn't get along well with the other children of Barrett.

Barrett did not care about them too much. More importantly, Adrienne's mother owned many shares of Simpson Company. Many people cast a greedy eye on her shares, and Adrienne and Morgan had many enemies in the Simpson family.

"I'm a bit surprised." Victor put his hand on the car window. A current of cold air blew in his face, but he didn't feel cold at all.

Adrienne was careful and meticulous, and she wouldn't call him for no reason.

"Mr. Alwynn, I think that even if I don't tell you, you know the situation of my family, right?"

"So?" Victor asked blandly. He had known what Adrienne wanted to do.

A person who didn't have a strong heart would not replace him so easily.

"Mr. Alwynn, you're a smart man. I want to cooperate with you. Let's meet and talk about it." Adrienne suggested.

Victor did not agree with her directly. Instead, he asked meaningfully, "Before I meet you, I want to make sure if you have the ability to cooperate with me."

Victor could be sharp-tongued before anyone except for Eden.

Adrienne was stunned. She knew that Victor was asking if she was smart and capable enough.

A few years ago, she was not ruthless and experienced enough. But at this time, she was ready to go for broke.

Obviously, Leilani and Chelsea couldn't wait any longer.

She immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Alwynn, I understand what you mean. If I don't even have such an ability, how would I dare to call you?"

"I know that it's not enough to have ambition and patience. To cooperate with you, I need dogged determination. You can rest assured that I have great mental endurance. If I'm not qualified to cooperate with you, I wouldn't call you."

Victor said, "Okay, meet me in Pavilion Clubhouse twenty minutes later. Tell the waiter that you're going to see me."

After Victor finished speaking, he hung up the phone and drove to Pavilion Clubhouse.

Talking to Adrienne on the phone didn't delay his time.

Passing by the supermarket, he stopped the car and bought some food ingredients to make dumplings. Seventeen minutes later, he arrived at Pavilion Clubhouse.

He sat in his exclusive private box for a while and then heard someone knocking on the door.

"Come in." Victor said in a deep voice.

Adrienne pushed the door open and walked in. It seemed that she left in a hurry without putting on make-up. She only painted her lips, but she still looked so pretty and elegant.

"Mr. Alwynn, you're in such a hurry to go home." Adrienne sat down across from Victor calmly.

Victor said honestly, "I don't want to starve my wife, so I only have a few minutes."

Adrienne was speechless. She didn't want to witness public display affection at all. "Mrs. Alwynn is very lucky." Adrienne was a little envious.

Delmont was a good man, and she would live a happy life in the future.

"Just get down to business." Victor raised his head slightly and looked at Adrienne.

Adrienne nodded. Her expression turned solemn as she said in a serious tone, "Mr. Alwynn, I know the grudge between the Alwynn family and the Simpson family, but we have the same purpose. I want the Simpson family."

"Oh!" Victor was a little surprised by Adrienne's ambition, "Miss Simpson, you're quite ambitious."

Adrienne smiled bitterly and said dejectedly, "I think you know the situation of my family very well. If I am not ambitious, Morgan and I will be homeless. We may even be killed."

It was not an exaggeration to say so. Leilani was a cruel woman who had killed someone before.

In front of her, the third wife and the fourth wife of Barrett didn't dare to say anything extra.

Moreover, his fourth wife was very afraid of Leilani.

Only when she became more powerful could she protect the people she loved.

More importantly, she wanted to spend the rest of her life happy with Delmont.

She wanted to live for herself and live the life she wanted.
