At the Simpson family house.
The housekeeper hurriedly went upstairs.
Barrett was going to rest, but before he could finish his tea, he saw Devin, the housekeeper, come in a hurry. He frowned and looked at him, "What's wrong? You failed again?"
Devin nodded and looked a little nervous. "Yes. She was so stupid. She did exactly what Edith did before, so she was caught straight away."
"Useless! All of them are useless." Barrett's rough voice sounded terrifying in the night.
"They can't even take Eden down, how can I expect them to deal with Victor? I planned everything two years ago. I took down the Craig family and helped the Williams family who has a good relationship with Victor, however, Irving, that little b*stard, suddenly withdrew his funds. I was almost there, but everything just went wrong one after another. Now, my whole family is about to be destroyed by Victor!"
Barrett felt mentally and physically exhausted.
Was it because he was too old or because Victor was too powerful?
He felt there was really no way out for him anymore.
The housekeeper said, "Sir, Victor has a group of people investigating everything secretly. They are really good at computer technology as well. There is a person working in the dark and that's why we failed everything. Our informers said that Victor relied everything on that person. No matter what happened, he will be able to solve it quickly with just a phone call."
"Who is that person?" Barrett glared at the housekeeper.
Now, his company had been taken away by Victor, his children had betrayed him, his reputation had been damaged, he had lost the support of the Woods family, and now even the Eliseo Group have joined Victor.
Victor had almost cut off all his paths.
"Sir, we haven't found it out yet."
"Useless!" Barrett got up and sat on the sofa angrily. He thought he had come up with a perfect plan all these years, but everything seemed to be so wrong now.
He just couldn't break through Victor's defense at all.
"What's so good about Eden? Irving, that little b*stard, even gave up his whole business because of her. What I regret most is cooperating with him." Barrett's hands started trembling with anger.
Devin thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I heard that the illegitimate daughter of the Parma family works in Alwynn Group, maybe we can break through from here. Her name is Aurora Parma. I heard that she is in the wedding dress designing department. She is doing a quite good job there.
And it seems like their company really likes her."
Barrett shook his head, then took a sip of tea and said, "You just came back from abroad, so there are some things you don't understand. The Parma family doesn't care about this daughter at all, and that's why she is very grateful to Victor when he helped her. So how can she work for you?
Besides, they will find out what we were doing. It would be better to cooperate with the Parma family directly anyway. No matter how powerful Victor is in River City, he still couldn't do anything on his own.
I heard that Mr. Parma is in River City recently, and I also heard that he likes the land in Locust Grove and is bidding now."
"Oh!" The housekeeper narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. This project sounded very familiar to him.
"By the way, sir, I remember now the biggest bid is probably Hayden Booth now. He had previously cooperated with Victor's wife and had earned a lot of money. I heard that they will continue to cooperate this time on this project."
