Gluey Love Between Us
Chapter 2008

She raised her head and saw Victor, "What's wrong?"

Victor looked down at her and said, "It's not safe to look at your phone while walking."

Eden sent the edited words to Jasper and then put her phone in bag.

"I feel a little strange. Did something happen between Lyric and Jasper?"

Victor held her in his arms and walked back, saying with a smile, "Don't worry. It means that they really like each other. They'll be in deeper love if they weather the storm together. If their love is smooth, we won't feel at ease."

"What are you talking about?" Eden glared at him.

"Ha-ha..." Victor smiled and did not dare to continue.

"Let's go home. I'm hungry."

"Okay, if you are hungry, we can eat outside. These days, we don't have time to go to the supermarket. I guess there is no food in the refrigerator."

"Alright, it's up to you." Victor smiled gently, lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

Eden glared at him with a smile and said vaguely, "Don't do this!"

Under the sunset, the scene of them hugging each other was warm.

Daniel made an appointment to have dinner with Barrett in River City Restaurant. Halfway through the meal, Barrett was waiting to sign a contract with Daniel. However, Daniel was very cautious. Before figuring out the whole story, he would not sign the contract.

It was not easy for him to own such wealth at this age, so he was careful.

Barrett knew that Daniel was worried. He was fooling Daniel, so he was somewhat uneasy.

After investigation, he found that Eliseo Technologies was owned by Lucian.

This shocked him greatly. He wanted to sign the contract before Daniel found it out.

But Daniel didn't seem to buy it.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Cooper, haven't you made up your mind? I have a lot of money. If you cooperate with my company, you'll never suffer losses."

Daniel smiled apologetically and said, "I know you're the richest man in the country, so money is definitely not a problem, but I have to know whether Eliseo Technologies is cooperating with Victor. If they are partners, the cooperation between us will be meaningless."

"How can it be meaningless? Do you mean that we can't cooperate without Victor's permission?" Barrett said unhappily. He never thought that Victor was qualified to be compared with him.

Daniel shook his head and laughed, "Chairman, you don't know Victor at all. He's the most powerful in River City."

Before Barrett could speak, Daniel received a call from his assistant.

"Mr. Cooper, bad news! We have been deceived by Mr. Simpson! Now the legal representative of Eliseo Technologies is Lucian, while he is Victor's secretary. What Dean said is true." Daniel hung up the phone in an instant. He stood up and smiled apologetically at Barrett, "I'm very sorry, Chairman. I'll take my leave first."

After that, he strode out without waiting for Barrett's answer.

Devin's face darkened to the extreme. Daniel had known the truth.

Barrett's face couldn't be gloomier. He looked at Devin with a sneer, "Go and teach Mr. Cooper a lesson."

Devin nodded excitedly.

"Mr. Cooper, please wait!"

Daniel was about to step out of the door, and he stopped.

Barrett narrowed his eyes and looked at Daniel with a faint smile, "Mr. Cooper, don't be in a hurry to leave. I have something to show you."

Daniel had a bad feeling.

The faint smile in Barrett's eyes made him feel that he had been aimed at by a hungry wolf. He slowly walked back and stood at the table, not sitting down.

Devin took out the prepared documents and put them on the table with a smile.

Barrett glanced at the file bag on the table and then looked at Daniel, "Mr. Cooper, sit down!"

After that, he lit a cigar for himself, took a deep draw on it and narrowed his eyes comfortably. His sitting position was arrogant.

Daniel knew that things were not simple. Looking at the documents, he suddenly felt a little flustered.

Barrett smiled and said, "Mr. Cooper, this is the evidence of your despicable means. In order to be the president, you did a lot of dirty things. You'd better take a look first, or you'll regret it once you leave." "Mr. Simpson, you..."

"You must be wondering why I have the evidence, right?" Barrett said with a smile.

Looking at Daniel's angry and nervous face, he finally regained some superiority.

He straightened up slightly and looked at him with sharp eyes, "Mr. Cooper, since you did it, it's no secret. Open it and have a look first. Then you can decide whether to sign the contract or not. My purpose is very simple. I just want you to sign it. With the cooperation, more people will buy my shares. As long as you sign it, I will never let you suffer losses."

Daniel took the document with his hand trembling. His face darkened to the extreme as he read it carefully.

He sat there and looked at Barrett quietly.

Barrett laughed and said, "Devin, give the contract to Mr. Cooper. He won't refuse again."

"Barrett, what's the point of doing this?" Daniel was irritated, but he didn't dare to leave.

He was wrong. He should have cooperated with Victor.

Barrett laughed arrogantly. His eyes were playful and proud as he squinted at Daniel. Threatening Daniel gave him a sense of superiority.

"Of course it makes sense."

"Isn't the ending very interesting?" Barrett pointed to the documents on the table.

"Mr. Simpson, what you are doing will only make our relationship more awkward. You know what you have done, but now you're threatening me. Aren't you afraid that you will burn your own fingers one day?" After signing the contract, Daniel said to Barrett furiously.

He was too careless, and he really regretted it.

It must be his previous opponents who gave Barrett the evidence.

But there was no point in pursuing the matter.

"Mr. Cooper, don't speak so harshly. In the business world, isn't it normal to get something on our partners? Since you've signed the contract, we're allies. Just forget it."

Daniel looked at him and remained silent for a long time. Then he got up and left.

"Ha-ha..." Barrett laughed triumphantly.

He looked at Devin and said, "Devin, look. He wouldn't listen to me unless he was taught a lesson. Did you see how timid he was just now? I'm really relieved to see his dejected face." Devin smiled, "Mr. Simpson, you're really wise."

"In the business word, we can ask someone to work for us as long as we get something on him. Alright, let's go back. I can have a good sleep tonight."

He couldn't get the money back from Leilani and Adrienne, so he had been very upset during this period of time. He finally felt happy this night! However, as soon as they arrived at the door, they met Eden and Victor who came for dinner.
