Barrett knew that she failed to save those women.
"You good-for-nothings! Since you were young, I've been telling you that you can't show any mercy to the Alwynn family when you meet them. They took away what should belong to us, and you should try your best as long as you can get something back. But you gave so much property to them the first time you meet!"
"Go save Baylee. The other three women have nothing to do with us now."
Chelsea was stunned, and she didn't agree with him, "Dad, we can't do that. What if they slander our family after they come out?"
"Humph! If you want to save them, pay the money for them on your own. That woman was bullied Baylee, but it was horrible when she fought back. Although she'll get the money, I have ways to get it back." Barrett went off the deep end. Originally, he was happy to hold such a banquet, but he flew into a rage because he almost lost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Since Eden dared to challenge the Simpson family, he would not let her go easily.
"Dad, how can I have so much money?" Chelsea pursed her lips. Even if she had so much money, she would not spend three million dollars to save those women.
It was so hard to earn money, and she had to compete with her sisters and brothers. She should preserve her strength so that Barrett would put her in an important position and she could get what should belong to her.
"I don't care what you want to do. Save Baylee first, or your uncle will come back again and quarrel with me!" Barrett roared angrily.
They did a seemingly clever thing which turned out to be a foolish one instead.
"Dad, I know what to do." Chelsea glanced at Stephen who was silent, and walked out dejectedly.
Stephen looked at Barrett, "Dad, what should we do now?"
Barrett looked at him with cold and gloomy eyes. He was as mad as a wild beast.
"What do you think we should do? No matter what, Victor is indeed powerful in this city. I shouldn't have been in a hurry to aim at him. Explain it to Misael. What happened tonight might ruin your friendship."
"He is not stupid. He knows that he has been used by you. Meet him tomorrow and pay for that piece of land. He is a wise man, and you two won't reach deadlock."
"I see, dad." Stephen with a serious face.
"By the way, your Uncle Woods came with his daughter, Karlee Woods. Go out and greet them. As for the other guests, ask your eldest brother to greet them."
"Is Karlee here?" Stephen frowned in a dilemma. Thinking of what Karlee had told him on the phone, he didn't want to meet her.
Every time after he had sex with Karlee, he let her take contraceptive pills. How could she be pregnant with his child?
"Why are you still sitting here? Hurry up and go out! Your Uncle Woods always supports our family. This time, he came here to see you. After all, you and Karlee have been getting along well since childhood. We hope that you can be with her. The woods family is the second richest in A Country. This is your best choice." Barrett had been angry. Seeing that Stephen looked dejected, he became more furious.
"Dad." Stephen looked depressed. He had just suffered a lot from Victor, and he had to face a woman who forced him to get married. He was really mentally and physically exhausted.
"Get the hell out of here!" Barrett went ballistic and roared like a mad lion.
Seeing him like this, Stephen did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly got up and left.
Barrett looked out of the window. Along the coast, the lights of the city had come on, looking dazzling and brilliant.
More haste, less speed.
When Victor and Eden went back and saw the dark house, both of them felt disappointed.
Home was always the warmest.
Everyone in their family longed for a happy home in the past, and they were very sad to part with each other.
Victor took her hand and went in, turning on the lights and the heat.
The house suddenly became warm.
