"You mention my father all day long and bring me pressure! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Are you reminding me indirectly how failed my life is?" Irving roared at Aidan with annoyance.
Hearing his tone, Aidan felt that he was very strange. Irving was so angry that he spoke without thinking. In the past, he was mature and steady, and he did everything after careful consideration.
These days, he always couldn't calm down when he did things. He did things moodily and had been trapped by Victor.
"Mr. Matthews, calm down. Being angry hurts your health." Aidan advised him sincerely.
"Shut up! What else can you say except this?" Irving wanted to kick him out of the office.
However, Aidan was the only one he could talk to.
"Aidan, tell me. How can I get Eden? You know this is my obsession." Irving sat on the leather rotating chair, raised his head and looked at the crystal lamp on the ceiling. He had mixed feeling in heart.
Could he never be with Eden?
Thinking about such a result, he felt very sad.
Seeing that Irving finally faced up to this question, Aiden suddenly looked up at him in high spirits.
He said boldly, "Mr. Matthews, do you want to hear the truth or lie?"
Irving glanced at Aidan who was looking at him with eager eyes. He actually let him choose at such a critical moment.
However...
Irving's face looked extremely disappointed. He probably knew what Aidan was going to say.
"Tell me the lie first." Irving lowered his head, and he couldn't hide the loneliness and sadness on his face.
After taking a deep breath, Aidan said, "Mr. Matthews, as long as you work hard, Eden will one day belong to you."
Irving nodded with satisfaction, "What about the truth?" He felt upset at the bottom of his heart, and he was very sombre and downcast, like an abandoned cat.
Aidan's body trembled. In fact, he did not dare to speak out the truth.
But he had no choice at this moment.
However, for the sake of Irving's future, he must tell him the truth, "Mr. Matthews... The truth is that being with Miss Bleu is just your wishful thinking."
"So, Mr. Matthews, don't dream about it anymore. It's impossible."
Irving didn't know what to say.
He felt a burning sensation in his heart and touched his chest. Then he glared at Aidan, but he knew very well that he had been cheating himself. He thought that as long as he tried his best, he could get what he wanted.
He understood everything, but he had been pretending.
Victor was such an overbearing man, and he would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. How could he let him get Eden?
Victor was iron-willed and powerful. Although they suddenly came to River City, he wouldn't be afraid of him and the Simpson family.
The Craig family was the best example, and Melissa had reaped what she sowed.
But, why was he so unwilling to accept the fact?
There seemed to be something trying to get out of his chest.
"Mr. Matthews, love is like a gust of wind. You will get nothing after the wind blows past you. Mr. Matthews, you should really give up." Aidan persuaded him earnestly.
Irving's eyes were sharp and threatening as he said, "I asked you to come here because I need you to solve this matter, but to persuade me."
Aidan was aggrieved, "Mr. Matthews, I think I'm here to be a punching bag."
Irving was speechless.
"Eden, I will let you experience the feeling of being utterly discredited." Back then, her reputation was ruined, and she was so desperate as if she had been sentenced to death.
She couldn't come back to this city until she had a plastic surgery and changed her identity.
Dahlia took a deep breath. In this period of time, that day was her happiest day.
In the Simpson family.
Chelsea looked at the news with great satisfaction.
Barrett and Leilani were very satisfied as well.
Barrett looked at Chelsea. His eyes were shrewd and his tone sounded very energetic, "Chelsea, you did a good job. As long as the Alwynn family is in trouble, we'll be delighted."
A sinister smile appeared on Chelsea's coquettish face, "Dad, Victor and Eden are too arrogant. I'd like to see how long they can hold on. I can let the reporters spread some new rumours at any time. In this way, they will lose all standing and reputation."
In order to save Baylee, she had asked for many powerful people's help, but she failed.
Since Victor took advantage of his power to bully them, she would make Victor and Eden die a terrible death.
She had to improve that she was the most powerful here. No one could be richer than the Simpson family.
How dared the Alwynn family be so arrogant? She would definitely let them suffer and pay the price.
Barrett nodded in agreement and said with his sharp eyes full of malice, "It's time to let them know how powerful we are."
Being suppressed by Victor again and again, he was very angry.
Ruining Victor's reputation was equivalent to destroying half of the Alwynn family.
At the corner on the second floor, Adrienne looked at the three of them who colluded in doing evil. She sneered and then turned to go upstairs.
