Chapter 1888
"Ha-ha..." Lucian stood up and looked at him. At this time, he was like an impatient child who could not get candy to eat. But it was understandable. None of them had held a wedding. That day, after he and Amelia went back from Sean's wedding, Amelia told him that she wanted a romantic wedding. In fact, he would give her a romantic wedding even if she didn't say it. It was just a matter of time. He had lots of things to do this year.
But he could hold a wedding ceremony this year. He could find time as long as he wanted.
"It's the end of the year. Are you interested in choosing a lucky day together with me?" Lucian pursed his lips and asked with a smile. His smile was bland, but Victor seldom saw him so gentle. He thought for a moment, nodded and said in a relaxed tone, "How about this weekend?"
"Okay, ask Anson and Adonis to go with us. If we can hold a wedding this year, we should hurry up. I don't want my children to be laughed at." Lucian knew that some people would gossip about him if he didn't hold a wedding. After all, they were all from respectable families. If they were not careful, someone with evil intentions would get something on them.
Their wives and children were the easiest to get hurt.
Victor said slowly, "No one wants to be laughed at."
Lucian said, "That's a deal. We'll go there this weekend."
"Alright!" Victor nodded.
Under the sun, the quiet and elegant yard looked warm. Barrett was reading financial reports.
The tea on the table in front of him was fragrant.
Devin straightened his back and walked in. He stood behind Barrett and said respectfully, "Chairman, I checked it out. The new company is called L. Y Company. It's a stock trading company, and it's similar to ours. The company is imitating our style, but it's small."
After hearing that, Barrett smiled cunningly, "We don't have to be afraid of a small company. As long as it's not owned by Victor, it can't be our opponent."
Barrett put down the financial newspaper in his hand.
He asked in a deep voice, "How about the Parma family?"
Devin said, "They have been competing with Hayden. Victory hangs in the balance."
"Oh!" Barrett frowned and stood up with his hands behind his back. He looked up at Devin and said, "Why? It has been so long. Is it so hard to get a piece of land?"
Devin thought for a moment and said cautiously, "I heard that the piece of land is owned by the government. It depends on whose plan is more reliable. The plan must be absolutely environmentally friendly, and it can't affect the ecological environment of the city. There are many companies bidding on this project. Mr. Parma is not an expert in this field, but Hayden has been engaged in real estate for many years, and he knows how to make a better plan. With the support of Alwynn Group, it's very possible for him to get this project."
No one can get the project just by money. The businessman must have a good reputation.
Barrett pondered for a while and said in a somewhat displeased tone, "Tell me. Is this an unlucky place for me? Everything is not going on well."
Hearing that he was discouraged, Devin was a little anxious.
No matter what, Barrett couldn't give up unless Alwynn Group was ruined.
"Chairman, don't say that. You've just come back here, and all you need is time."
Barrett looked a little better, "You're right. I just need time. Make an appointment with Mr. Parma for me. I need to have dinner with him so that I can remind him of something. Otherwise, he wouldn't get this project."
Devin was happy. He smiled, and a hint of shrewdness flashed through his eyes, "I see. I'll call him right now."
Devin took a few steps, but Barrett stopped him, "By the way, ask Dahlia to come here tonight. I won't go back."
After Leilani beat Dahlia, he gave her thirty million dollars as compensation. Dahlia was smart. She did not argue with him.
Since she did not mention it, he would pretend that nothing had happened.
"Okay, Chairman." Devin left with a smile.
Even he was surprised by how prosperous River City was. It developed too fast.
He did not believe that Barrett would not be tempted.
This was a treasure land. Barrett had money, and he had a smart brain.
Barrett was proud. Paulina was young, so he had a sense of superiority and accomplishment before her. He thought that everything was under his control, so he naturally did not know what Paulina would do next.
After receiving the phone call from Devin, Dahlia did not hesitate at all. She immediately drove to the small courtyard.
Accompanying Barrett to meet Mr. Parma was a good chance for her. She could broaden her range of contacts.
Moreover, she could carry out her plan in a better way.
The seed of evil was buried in her heart, and it would grow crazily at the right time.
As soon as Victor returned home, he smelled the aroma of food.
Every time when he returned home, Eden was waiting for him after cooking delicious meal. This kind of happiness made him delighted.
"Honey, I'm back." Victor went to the kitchen, and Eden was cooking.
She looked back with a smile in her eyes and said affectionately, "Go change your clothes and wash your hands. The meal will be ready soon."
"Okay!" Victor smiled tenderly and turned to go upstairs to change his clothes.
After dinner, Eden received a phone call from Hayden.
After hanging up, she looked at Victor who was peeling an apple aside.
"Victor, Hayden said that the Parma family participated in the bidding as well. Besides, Mr. Parma is very close to Barrett. They had dinner together tonight." Victor glanced at her and continued to peel the apple. He cut the apple into small pieces before handing them to her, "Eat first!" His voice was a little hoarse. "Thank you, honey!" Eden said in a joyful tone.
Victor smiled. Seeing her sweet smile and bright eyes, he couldn't help hugging her, "Tell Hayden to try his best to bid. Money is not a problem. Just like what you said, it's a piece of land for old people to live, but the project is really good and we can make money by it."
It seemed that the Parma family had been persuaded by Barrett.
Thinking of Aurora, he narrowed his eyes slightly. Aurora wanted to escape from the Parma family, but she might be used by them.
"Okay, I'll send a message to Hayden." Eden picked up the phone and sent a message.
Victor sent a message to Brian to tell him about this matter.
After all, Brian loved Aurora wholeheartedly. She was a good person, and the wedding dresses she designed were popular.
"By the way, Eden, what about your wedding dress? Do you want to design it yourself? Or do you want to ask another designer to design it?"
Eden looked up at him in a daze and opened her beautiful eyes wide. In Victor's eyes, she was cute and attractive.
"I don't have time to design it myself. Is Aurora busy this year? If she's not busy, we can let her design it. Her design is very fashionable and I like it very much."
