Gluey Love Between Us
Chapter 2009

Victor was talking with Eden and laughing. When they looked up and saw Barrett and Devin, their smiles gradually faded.

"Yo! Mr. Alwynn, Mrs. Alwynn, nice to meet you." Barrett was in a good mood, so he took the initiative to greet them with a smile.

Victor held Eden in his arms and looked at him coldly.

"Oh! Mrs. Alwynn, you're getting more and more beautiful." Barrett never hated to appreciate beautiful ladies. He looked Eden up and down.

His eyes were keen, which made Eden feel that she had been greatly humiliated.

Eden replied with a smile, "Mr. Simpson, you look younger and younger, but your character really surprises us."

"Mrs. Alwynn, you're quite sharp-tongued. No wonder Mr. Alwynn loves you so much!" Barrett looked at Victor meaningfully, and his tone was sarcastic. Victor gave him a warning look.

Barrett didn't care, "By the way, Mr. Alwynn, I have to congratulate you. Your cooperation with Eliseo Technologies actually didn't receive coverage in the press. But I've known about it, so I have to congratulate you."

"Thank you, Mr. Simpson. But I'm not lucky enough to accept your congratulation. Besides, if you dare to look at my wife like this again, don't blame me for being rude." Compared with Barrett who was polite, Victor seemed to be colder. He wished that he could gouge out Barrett's eyes.

Barrett was more and more shameless.

"Mr. Alwynn, you're really young and aggressive. Look at how blunt you are. As the saying goes, there is no real enemy in the business world." Barrett narrowed his eyes and looked at Victor with a smile. Victor really made him afraid.

He had thought that he was wiser than Victor. However, each new generation excelled the last one. He had to admit that Victor was more capable than his father.

Victor sneered, and he stared at Barrett with indifferent and intense eyes, "When I talk to someone like you, it may be easier for you to understand my words if I speak bluntly." After saying this proudly, he took Eden inside.

Barrett looked at their backs and laughed with disdain, "Devin, if I were twenty years younger, I would be more overweening than him."

Devin smiled and echoed, "You were much more capable than Victor when you were young."

"Well, back then, the society was not so advanced. Victor was born in a good era, and his family is rich. He has a nice background. That's why he is so snooty and proud." "Let's go. I'm in a good mood tonight. Let Dahlia come and accompany me."

Smiling, Barrett walked out in high spirits.

"Okay." Devin smiled and immediately sent a message to Dahlia.

"I've prepared the document. Come and accompany him tonight. Let him sign it when he is extremely excited."

"I see. Get the drug ready."

"I will arrange everything."

Then he said again, "Victor and Eden are having dinner in River City Restaurant."

"Is that so? Do as you see fit. The Alwynn family owes you too much."

Devin looked at the message and did not reply to her anymore. He switched to his alt account and sent another message. "I've sent you the location and address. If you fail again, don't think about getting a penny."

"Got it."

Jasper saw Eden's message after having a sound sleep. It was seven o'clock in the evening when he woke up.

"Jasper, Lyric's father had a car accident, but he's all right now. I sent her home just now."

"A car accident." Jasper got out of bed quickly. He seemed to have thought of something and grabbed his phone again. He did not go to Lyric's house, but she didn't send him a message to ask him. He didn't go to Lyric's house because he was annoyed.

This was his character. When he wanted to get someone or something, he would be possessive about it.

Once she did something that he couldn't accep, he would become very angry.

"I go crazy for you, but you talk with another man and laugh so rationally. You know how much I love you, but you smile so sweetly at him." He once saw these words in a book, and he had the same feeling. He was really mad when he saw Lyric stay with Jadiel.

He was too flustered to face Lyric. He arrived in River City at nine o'clock in the morning. After going home to take a bath, he was impulsive and wanted to go to see her, but he walked back at the door.

He sat quietly on the balcony for the whole morning. At noon, he ate some instant noodles. He hadn't rested for a day and a night, so he went to bed and slept until this time.

He wanted to write something and share his feelings online.

However, he saw the photo posted by Jadiel.

"It's so happy to go out for a walk with my beloved girl and chat with her!" In the photo, there was a smile on Lyric's side face.

Jasper's hands trembled. He glanced at the time. Jadiel sent it two minutes ago.

So, was Lyric with Jadiel at this time?

Jasper laughed self-mockingly, not wanting to see Lyric anymore.

Sometimes, he really couldn't understand Lyric. She liked him, but she went out with a man who wanted to be her boyfriend.

In fact, he regretted knowing the truth!

If he hadn't known that she liked him, he would have been able to face her with a clear conscience, and he wouldn't have been so upset. Words couldn't describe how depressed he was. Jasper lay on the bed dejectedly, covered himself with the quilt and wanted to sleep again.

Perhaps he was too tired. He actually fell asleep in sadness.

When he woke up, it was past nine o'clock at night.

He turned on the bedside lamp with sleepy eyes. The soft light cast a glow over the grey and simple sheet.

However, the grey and white stripes looked conspicuous and stylish.

After lying lazily for a while, Jasper took the phone on the bedside table and clicked on it. At the same time, he received a message.

It was sent by Color Egg.

Jasper's heart tightened. He didn't want to read her message anymore.

He stared at the screen for a while blankly. The screen went dark, and the world seemed to have quieted down.

It was so quiet that he could only hear the sound of the wind and the sound of his heart beating violently.

He swallowed. In the end, he didn't read the message out of curiosity. Instead, he got up and went to the bathroom. After washing up casually, he went to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles for himself. After Victor and Eden finished dinner, Victor didn't want to go back, but he received a message from Brian.

"They have taken actions, and they're near River City Restaurant. Be careful!"
