Eden looked at the stage. Jasper was standing on the stage and making an acceptance speech. She always knew how capable he was.
Under the brilliant light, Jasper was dressed in a white suit. His back was straight and elegant.
After the applause, she heard some of Jasper's words.
"Dreams never choose people. It's a magical pen that God gives to everyone to build a future map. As long as you have dreams in your hearts and try your best, the whole universe will unite to help you realize your dreams..."
Eden smiled. At this moment, she felt very relaxed.
"Victor, I hope that our life in the future will be simple and pure, and we can spend the rest of our lives in the way we like."
There was no need to prove anything to the world. Living a better life was to love themselves.
Victor hugged her from behind gently, and his voice was hoarse and magnetic, "Okay!"
Victor took Eden to another place. They had to meet someone.
As soon as Barrett was taken out, he saw his trusted follower standing beside him.
The man was his subordinate in his new company, and he had always been obedient to him.
"How did you get here?" Barrett looked at him.
Royce Moore said, "Chairman, bad news! We found evidence that Miss Grant and Devin have transferred away half of your property."
Paulina was stunned. How could he know this?
Barrett knew that Royce would not say something like this without any evidence.
He looked at Paulina with sharp eyes, "Is what Royce said true?"
Paulina's eyebrows twitched. Things were completely out of her control. She thought that she could get Barrett's new company in a month after defeating Victor. Then she would immediately go abroad to live the life she wanted. She didn't have to live in River City. However, she failed.
At this time, Barrett had known about this. What should she do?
"Chairman, don't listen to his nonsense. I didn't do that." They were just cooperating with the investigation. When she came out of the police station, she would leave immediately. Barrett couldn't do anything to her.
Royce said, "Chairman, it's true. But what's strange is that the property that has been transferred away was signed by you in person."
Barrett narrowed his cunning eyes and looked at Paulina sharply and gloomily, "Well, I've been wondering why you stayed with me in the courtyard for so long. Every night when you were with me, you asked me to sign something. You drugged me, right? Otherwise, how could I listen to you obediently?" Barrett was so angry that his face turned livid. Being tricked by a woman made him feel extremely humiliated.
"How scheming you are! You colluded with Devin and swindled me of most of my property. However, do you think you can take it away? I'm afraid you've forgotten something. I'm much wiser than you."
Barrett looked at Royce, "Bring back all the property that I signed. Her ID card is in my yard. What's more, Devin may have run away. You know what to do when you find him, don't you?"
"As for this vicious woman, let her stay in prison for the rest of her life."
Paulina was taken aback. She didn't expect him to do this.
"Victor, you little b*stard..." Barrett was so excited that he wanted to beat Victor, but the policeman stopped him quickly.
Paulina looked at Eden's cheerful face and smiled bitterly, "Eden, you win."
She had lost, but she was unwilling to accept the fact!
Obviously, she was the one who controlled the overall situation, but she was the one who sustained the worst losses in the end.
"Paulina, people will change, but they will never go back to the past. I remember that when I saw you for the first time, you were very beautiful and confident. After knowing your identity, I respected you. I thought that your work was amazing, and I believed that you would have a brighter future. However, I didn't expect that the end would be so sad." Eden looked at her quietly. People couldn't be with the ones they liked, which was a normal thing, but pestering those they liked was crazy.
Eden laughed self-mockingly. The past could never be changed, could it?
Paulina was too obsessed with Victor and could not let it go. In the end, it became a tragedy.
Since Victor didn't like her, why did she have to try desperately to get him?
Paulina was stunned. Over the years, in order to get money, she had long forgotten her original intention.
Being exposed by Eden, she had more and more complicated feelings.
"Eden, Victor, if we have a life hereafter, I don't want to meet you again. You are simply devils." Paulina seemed to have realized the reality. She would stay in jail until she died. She knew clearly what she had done.
Victor said, "You are wrong. You are the devil in the whole story."
