Tried 596

    <b>Chapter </b><b>596 </b>


    Bryan was willing to listen now.


    Alvin sat down and spoke slowly, “It’s simple. I have only one goal. I want Aubree to leave Uncle Bowen and Rithol City And hopefully, che neveres back.”


    Hearing Alvin’s request, Bryan raised an eyebrow in surprise. ‘Huh, that’s a new angle for me to work with, he thought. ‘Maybe this could be <b>a </b>way to settle things.”


    He’d been torn up about thistely. Now that Aubree was working against the Wilson family, Bryan found it hard to believe that <b>it </b>would be difficult for the Wilson family to handle Aubree after all these years of their hard work.


    Back when Aubree still had the Turner family backing her up, it did seem like she’d never end up bankrupt no matter what. But now, <b>with </b>Alvin turning his back on her, things were different.


    ‘If we manage to take Aubree down and shees back to the Wilson family willingly, there’s no way she won’t end uppeting with me, Bryan mused, a hint of guilt in his heart. ‘If she wants to be a good little sister, I’d be happy to be a good big brother to her.


    ‘But what really worries me is, if Bree Technology goes under and Aubreees back to the Wilson family to fight for her ce, then it’ll be hard to predict who might lose and win,’ Bryan reasoned to himself.


    Bryan could not help thinking that things might be different if Aubree were to leave Rithol City.


    Without Aubree here, she wouldn’t be able topete with him. He’d finally have all the time in the world to make things right between them. But if Aubree stayed, it was likely that no amount of effort would amend their rtionship with Aubree since her heart was as hard <b>as </b>


    stone.


    “Alright. I’m in,” Bryan said. This was a deal he could ept.


    “Do you have a n?” Bryan asked.


    Alvin gave a slight smile. “Of course. I’ve got something on Uncle Bowen. If I y my cards right, it could be the vital puzzle piece to cause a huge rift between them. But for that to work, there needs to be some friction between them first.”


    “I’ve already nted someone close to Uncle Bowen,” Alvin continued. “What I need from you, Mr. Wilson, is to make things a bit more difficult for Aubree. It’ll be good to keep her busy and tie up her free time to make sure she doesn’t get too many chances to see Uncle


    Bowen.”


    As Alvin wasying out his ns, Oliver, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly raised his hand with a little wave, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.


    “I think I can lend a hand too,” Oliver said.


    “In some ways, we’re after the same thing,” Oliver added, his gaze deep and steady as he looked at Alvin.


    Alvin’s eyes flickered.


    “I’m actually pretty interested in Aubree,” Oliver went on. “If you don’t mind, I’d like to try and steal her away from your uncle.”


    “If Aubree really falls out with your Uncle Bowen, and I swoop in and win her over, that would fit your n perfectly,<b>” </b>Oliver said <b>with </b><b>a </b><b>sly </b>grin. “She’d leave your uncle and leave Rithol City. I’m only in Rithol City because of a work transfer anyway. I’ll <b>be </b><b>heading </b><b>back </b><b>home </b>sooner orter.”


    “Of course I don’t mind. In fact, that’s even better,” Alvin replied, a pleased look shing across <i>his </i>face.


    Just getting Aubree to misunderstand Uncle Bowen wasn’t easy<b>, </b>but if both sides ended <b>up </b>misunderstanding each <b>other </b><b>the </b>rest be way better.


    Alvin was practically over the moon at Oliver’s suggestion.


    “Actually, I just got some news,” Alvin said, a sly glint in his eye. “Since Aubreended the Ridgehaven Town project, the school has invited


    ing that project as a case study. That’s your chance to make a move. her to give a lecture to the finance students, using


    “I’ll keep Uncle Bowen upied,” Alvin added. “The rest will depend on your skills,” Alvin said with a smirk.


    Oliverughed, his eyes full of determination. “If I can’t get something out of this, I’d be wasting the tip and opportunity you <b>gave </b>me<b>, </b><b>Alvin </b>


    The four of them had dinner together at the restaurant.


    Alvin and Oliver had things to take care of and left first, while Bryan gave Elizabeth a ride home.
