"No." Neil shook his head, a self-deprecating expression flashing across his face. "I was earnestly trying to be Theo's brother then." I let out a sigh of relief when I heard that. At least he had been good. I looked at him. His eyes seemed to be carrying so many complications. What did he go through during this time to have made him change his mind? What Neil said next shocked me."But they did run the news through me before exposing it." "You chose to release it at this time. Could you have anything to do with Nibel?" My eyes narrowed as they fixed themselves on Neil.He hid nothing and immediately confessed, "You're right. Mr. Nibel and I reached a partnership. Since I can't be on good terms with Theo, then I'll be his enemy. You've seen how much he insulted me. I think you should understand me, no?""That's not it. Theo just hasn't accepted that your mother—""It's been 20’s years. Is it not enough?" Neil cut me off, his eyes filled with hostility.Nibel might have sai

I fell asleep while thinking of my flight at night but found it hard to sleep and ended up tossing and turning. I only managed to catch a few winks before the sky turned dark. When I woke up, my alarm rang. I brought my luggage that I had packed the night before down. Petra and Grayson were already waiting for me. "Wanda, why don't you go up and look at the children one more time?" Petra pulled up my hand and patted it. She looked sorry.Although Grayson said nothing while standing at the side, I could tell he was worried about me from his face. I turned back around and looked toward the children's room but shook my head in the end. "It's okay. I’d better not. I'm afraid I'll be even more unwilling to leave if I do that. I'm sorry to trouble you guys for the rest after this.""Silly child, we'd take care of them even if you said nothing. Come back as soon as you can.""I know. The taxi I called for is here. You don't need to send me." Dragging my luggage, I went out and d

Sure enough, the newspapers had caught the moment Arthur spoke to me while Cindy was standing farther away in a photo. Hence, only he and I were in it.The title was: [Fresh New Artiste in a Confirmed Relationship!]How was that confirmed?The media was really becoming more and more presumptuous. They fabricated the news without even having evidence.Although the location was not revealed in the newspaper, if someone were to look into it, they would definitely be able to find out easily.I could only pray now that Nibel and his gang were busy dealing with Theo and had no time to worry about other things. Otherwise, everything would fall apart.I spent the next few days in fear.Fortunately, I heard nothing from Nibel. I figured he probably did not have the time to pay attention to me.There were only three days left before the month was up.Three days… before everything would come to fruition.I had spent every day counting down the time and finally survived until the last da

I focused my gaze on Theo and noted that his once calm expression had abruptly shifted. His brows were furrowed tight.It seemed that Nibel was still caught onto a lifeline.I then looked at everyone else. They were all surprised. Some of the shareholders also did not look very good."President Grant, you ought to explain this properly.”"Yes. We trusted you for so many years. How could you do such a thing?”There was a smug smile on Nibel’s face. He walked toward Theo with the document, pointed to the content inside, and smiled. "An embezzlement of 100 million of Grant Corporation's funds. What is the meaning of this, President Grant? Why don’t you explain it?” Even when faced with such a question, Theo's expression only shifted for a moment before he once again regained his calm.Nibel patted Theo's shoulder like someone who had a card up his sleeve.A wisp of a smile tugged the corner of his lips. Theo moved Nibel's hand and looked at Keith who was at the side. "Tell Mr. Ni

Surprise was written all over Nibel's face. As intelligent as he was, he still did not manage to avoid Theo’s trap.Sat in the chair in a daze, it was only after a moment did he slowly come back to his senses. He looked at Sylvester and then abruptly stood from where he was seated. Hands, trembling, he pointed at Theo and shouted, "You saw through it all from the beginning, didn’t you?!”The corners of Theo's mouth turned up into a smile. “It’s more accurate to say that I’ve been on guard ever since the first day you stepped into Hatton,” Theo said lightly.Head lowered, Nibel looked despaired as he grabbed his hair. "I planned this for so long. I started investigating you and understanding you even before I came to Hatton. I didn’t expect to lose in the end.”"I know you’ve been investigating me. I just didn’t do anything about it because I wanted to know what you were planning. I finally understood your ambitions and intentions when you came to Hatton." Theo glanced at Marius.T
