Sylvester cast Theo an appreciative look again. "I didn't expect you to be able to be so calm at the moment of life and death, President Grant. You truly are Theo Grant. You’re right. Roo discovered my plan. She didn’t want Wanda to get hurt, and she also didn't want me to become a murderer. So, I lied to her. I told her that I would give up the plan and that I would let Wanda go. I locked her in the house. I also wanted to prevent her from looking for you and letting you know of my plan, but I didn't expect her to actually manage to send out multiple messages before I placed a shield. All of you found out except for Wanda.”"Why would she have the numbers of those close to me?""Roo found them from Silas' number book. Silas had looked for the contact information of everyone around you. Roo knew I bugged your phone and knew that I would know that she sent you a message the moment she did. Even if she told you not to come to the funeral, I’d still have the opportunity to bring you to
Rooney's gaze on Sylvester was filled with disappointment. "I thought you were a hero when you saved me. How could you hurt someone else now?" Sylvester pressed his hands on Rooney's shoulder. "Roo, listen to me. I'm doing all this for you, not for me. If Silas lived, there would've been a chance that you'd find out about it. I can't guarantee that the beastly old fox won't covet you again. He can only die. Yard Group can’t fall into Wanda's hands. If it does, I’ll have nothing. We will have nothing."I'm willing to be with you even if you have nothing," Rooney choked up.This sentence silenced Sylvester. He lowered his head and looked like he was in thought. I looked at Theo. What Sylvester did was wrong, but even the most hateful person had their pitiful side. No one could empathize with the suffering he had gone through. "Sylvester, what you did is wrong. I recorded it all just now. You won't be able to escape." Marius appeared at the door while waving his phone in his han
Marius was unconscious the entire journey as we rushed to the hospital.I was devastated as I looked at the knife in his chest. I could not say anything. I only knew that tears were streaming down my face non-stop.Theo was at the side comforting me, but I could also see the deep pain on his face. The road to the hospital had never felt so long even when the ambulance was able to shuffle through traffic simply.Why were we not there yet? Why? Marius had to hold on!I looked down at Marius who was unconscious.I always thought he was too noisy, but now that he was quiet, I hoped he would just keep the racket up.We finally arrived at the hospital.Marius was sent to the operating room. My heart felt like it was on needles as I looked at the light at the top.Unable to sit still, I paced back and forth in the hallway."Heaven helps the worthy. He'll be fine," Theo comforted me softly with an arm wrapped around my shoulders.I raised my head to look at him, my tears still flow
"Fortunately, the knife didn't penetrate too deep and he was brought to the hospital in time," the doctor said. "We’ve successfully removed the knife, but the patient lost a lot of blood, so he has to rest and will only wake up later. You can and go see him in the ICU.""Okay, thank you," Theo thanked the doctor.I covered my face. "Thank goodness, he's fine. Thank goodness, he's fine."Immediately after that, Marius was pushed out.He looked pale and weak and had an oxygen bottle attached to him. The doctors pushed him away from us.I looked in the direction he was leaving, crying uncontrollably. The ward. Marius still had not woken up. I stared at his haggard face sadly."Mmmph…" I hurried forward when I heard him groan. "Marius?"Marius opened his eyes slowly. When he saw us, he forced himself to smile before looking at me. "Don't worry, I won't die. Those below said I was too noisy and let me live for a few more years before I can go down again."His voice was weak, a
After saying that, Marius let me go.A smile graced the corners of his lips. He looked just like the sunny boy he was when we first met. "Goodbye, Sis Wan!"Marius then shouted in Theo's direction, "President Grant, take good care of my Sis Wan. Be careful, I'll be coming back again.""Don't worry, I won't give you the chance." Theo came over and grabbed my hand.Marius looked at us and smiled knowingly. He then turned around coolly and waved to us.Watching his gradually receding figure, scenes of the past flashed through my mind."Theo, has everything come to an end?" "Yes, it's all over," he replied. We left the airport and returned to Grant Corporation. Neil, now a Grant, had also joined the company sometime now. He was a capable person to begin with and was able to adapt quickly.In the office, I could hear Theo say that he wanted to leave Grant Corporation under his management. Neil refused at first and waved his hands. "What are you joking about? I definitely can't.
“You are seven weeks pregnant.” When the obstetrician handed over the pregnancy report to me, I had zero sense of joy within me. How did it happen so easily?If Theo Grant knew, would he not be willing to divorce anymore? No, he would hate me even more for trying to use a child to tie him down. “The first three months are crucial. Watch your diet, avoid having intercourse…” The doctor’s words brought me back to reality. I put away the report into my bag and left the hospital. I was in no mood to work anymore, so I decided to just go back to the villa. The villa was huge, but it was quiet all year long. Theo left early and came back late. Even if he was at home, he would stay in his study or his bedroom. I had no permission to enter either of these rooms. But, Theo was at home today. He sat on the sofa in the living room. He had a cold gaze, high nose bridge, and perfectly thin lips. Even his side view was always so handsome and perfect. God really blesse
I let out a shriek and backed away instinctively. “It’s me.” I was shocked for a moment, hearing Theo's cold voice. Did he not head off to accompany Cindy? Why did he return so quickly? He did not say anything, and he leaned down to kiss me. I could not avoid him. A sharp stench of alcohol filled my mouth. Theo was drunk! I was afraid. The last time he entered my room, it was three years ago. He was drunk the last time as well. I could still remember his condescending look and his mocking tone of voice vividly. I panicked and gazed at him with a pleading look. “Please don’t...” “Huh?” He raised his head and looked at me. His dreamy eyes looked darkened. The baby in me was only seven weeks old. Remembering what the doctor said, I was afraid that I would be in danger. I forced myself to look up at him and pleaded. “I am not feeling too well.” He did not say anything, but I could sense the fire burning in his eyes.His expression showed me that he w
Theo frowned, and his handsome face showed signs of displeasure. "Who are you to try to control me?"His voice was thirty percent sarcastic and seventy percent disdainful.I knew very well that it was impossible to make him stay, but sometimes I just had to try. I looked into his eyes and said softly, “I will agree to the divorce. The condition is that you stay tonight and accompany me to Grandmother's funeral tomorrow afternoon. I will sign the papers after the funeral.”He narrowed his eyes and grabbed my chin. His deep eyes were filled with disdain and mockery as he slowly said, “Do you even know how to make a man stay?”His voice was low and husky with a hint of seduction.I understood what he meant, but I did not know much about making love.After a long time, I unbuckled my belt. Theo pushed me away and said in disgust, “You are disgusting!”With that, he turned around and left without looking back.Haha, is there anything more humiliating than this? I did not care about
