I listened to Marius and did not go to the funeral. I still saw photos from Silas’ funeral over the news.Through the photos, I saw Sylvester's expression to be as calm as water like the kind that came after a deep pain. However, I did not see Rooney."Strictly speaking, Rooney is not a member of the Yard family, so there’s no issue with her being absent," Theo saw my doubts and said."I know. It's just a little weird." I put down my phone and leaned back on the sofa with Theo. "I wonder if it’s true that Sylvester wants to harm me.”Theo wrapped an arm around my shoulder and patted it a few times. "What Marius said also makes sense. It's better that you don’t go.”Suddenly, the phone rang.I glanced at the screen and saw Sylvester's name floating on it. I glanced at Theo and he nodded, signaling me to answer."You didn't come for the funeral. Silas left a few things for you. Come if you want." I could not decipher any other emotion from Syvlvester’s tone. It was indifferent, co

My mind was still a fog. "Just what is going on?”I heard a laugh again. It was from Sylvester.His smiling gaze was directed at me, and the smile on his lips seemed to be mocking me. "Seeing that neither of you will be leaving the gates of Yard Mansion today, I’ll let you leave with a clear understanding of this world.”"What do you mean?!" My complexion suddenly changed."The gates closed the moment we stepped into Yard Mansion. Even if we can escape this room, we can't escape the mansion," Theo said to me after coming to a realization.“Did you just think about it now? It's too late, President Grant," Sylvester snorted coldly. He then clapped his hands and several men in black immediately poured in from behind us to surround us.Theo looked calm as he stood in front of me, shielding me. "You think too highly of us, President Yard. You prepared so many people just for the two of us.”Hearing Theo's words, Sylvester replied, “When my opponent is President Grant, I can’t be too

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

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

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.
