Shannon’s interest was suddenly piqued when she heard this. She pulled out the chair opposite me and sat down. “How did you find out about it then?”"When I was chatting with Theo in the office, he actually said, intentionally or not, that he trusted Keith. It was probably a reminder to me but I thought it was a little strange. I didn’t think too much about it at the time. I only probably truly found out the day Keith looked for me alone.”"He came to you alone? Was he not afraid of being discovered?"I looked at Shannon and smiled slightly. "I bumped into him when I went to the best that time. He told me a lot of things at the time but he said something at the end before he left.”"What was it?"His words were still so exceptionally clear in my mind."He said he wouldn't participate. I couldn’t figure out what he meant at first but then I considered how calm Theo had been and all the clues that had been scattered about and guessed their plan."Shannon looked like she understood

The room was not cleaner than the living room. It was like a pig’s den.My eyes had gone wide, I had never seen such a messy room in all the years I was alive."Are you… raising pigs in here?”Marius hurriedly came in front of me to block my view before pushing me out. "I already told you not to go in. Now my image is completely ruined."He looked frustrated.As it turned out, he was nervous because of this.I cleared my throat and replied, "How about I help you tidy up?""No. if President Grant finds out, he’ll have my head." Marius waved his hand repeatedly as he closed the door behind him with the other hand.After confirming that Marius was okay, I could finally relax. "Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow."Marius likely caught the change in my expression and smiled treacherously. "Judging from your range of expressions, did you think I was going to move away?"Admittedly, I did."Yes. Your living room made it look like you were going to leave. I was shocked. I’m telling yo

My heart was heavy as I stepped through the gates of Yard Mansion again. Every step I took felt like my feet had been chained like it took a lot from me just to move them.Sylvester was standing at the door to greet me. When he saw me, his face broke into a smile."I knew you would come.""You'd better not play any tricks."I was not deceived by his smile. It looked to me like nothing more than a disguise.Sylvester shrugged, the expression on his face seemed harmless. "Don't worry. We don’t have that many tricks to play. You can leave immediately after you understand what happened. Come with me."I followed Sylvester to the study.The place looked the same as it did before.Pushing open the door and entering, I caught the scent of sandalwood.Silas was in his chair. He looked in our direction when he heard us and he pointed to the seat opposite him, motioning for me to sit down.I made my way over and sat down. "Let’s hear it.""What do you want to know?""Didn’t you say t

I found Sylvester’s words ridiculous.My gaze lowered, the corners of my mouth unconsciously hooked upwards. "If you had no plans on saying anything, why pick this crucial time to tell me? Rather than letting me know this late, you should have kept me in the dark for the rest of my life!"I spoke rather agitatedly. I did not know how to face Theo now.I did not use to feel anything about my mother but after going to where my mother had been and after staying where she had stayed, even watching her video, it would be a lie if I said I still felt nothing.Silas coughed a few times. He did not seem to be doing well recently.I heard him sigh heavily before a hoarse voice left his throat. "I thought about that but I don't want you to live so happily.”I looked up at him, Silas's smile was so ugly.My heart froze over.What a frightful and hateful man!"I finally know why Mom hates you so much," I watched him as I bit out every word.Silas did not feel anything of it. He leaned ba

My head was a mess when I walked out of the gates of Yard Mansion.The moment I was outside, Keith led some people over and surrounded me. "President Lane, are you okay?"I looked at Keith. For a moment I was speechless but then I just shook my head.Seeing me like this, Keith could tell that something had happened. He did not pry, however, and just led me into the car.The car moved slowly. Gradually, the trees outside the window became office buildings. Had we arrived at the city so soon?I did not feel like I was ready to see Theo.When I thought of this, I quickly spoke up, "Uhm, I... won’t go back yet.”"Where would you like to go then, President Lane?”"To… Susan’s apartment.”This was the only place I could think of that would allow me to calm down.“Alright.”After a moment’s hesitation, Keith then agreed and sent me to Susan’s apartment.I had wanted to return the key to Susan before but she told me to keep it, stating that I could use it as my little cove.When

He waited for me to continue and I did not dare meet his eyes. "I don't know what to say, I..."I grabbed my hair as my heart seized.Theo lifted his hand and grabbed my wrist. Gripping my wrist in the palm of his hand, he patted it as if to comfort me. "I'll give you time, you can go wherever you want. I'll wait for you to come back.I broke completely at his reply as tears streamed down my face bitterly.Through blurry vision, I could only see Theo's distressed gaze as he wiped my tears for me."I believe my father. I’ll find out the truth as soon as possible."He took me into his arms, I did not push him away."What if that's the truth?" While I did not expect it to be, what should I do in case it was real?I felt Theo’s body freeze at that. Then, he responded carefully, "If that is the truth, then I respect all your decisions."All of my… decisions…I gulped. I understood what he meant by that.“We’ll talk about it when the time comes. I don’t know yet.”“Then, now…” Th

"In that case, I'll check it out myself." I thought of a plan after I understood Theo's train of thought.Theo nodded and agreed. "It’ll be more appropriate for you to follow up with this since Sylvester would be less wary of you than me regardless. But with how you treated the Yards before…”"It's okay. If he’s really dissatisfied with Silas, then everything will be easy." I already had an idea.Theo smiled when he heard this. "Good."Looking at him, Theo seemed to trust his father very much.I was worried that Theo would be devastated if we found out that the truth was as Silas said.Theo noticed my sudden laps in concentration and grabbed my hand. "What's wrong? You look off all of a sudden.”I shook my head, not telling Theo what I had been thinking. "It's nothing. if we want to start with the Yards, we’ll still need to rely on your power.""I’ll be happy to help with whatever I can.”Theo replied without hesitation and that moved me. "Thank you, Theo.""We’re husband and

Even if Sylvester did not answer, his expression at the moment had already given me the answer. Still, I wanted to hear his response.Sylvester's brows furrowed slightly. He seemed worried that I would find out and immediately recomposed his expression before replying nonchalantly, "Even if I did have some plan, what does it have to do with you? Are you implying I can't handle it? Let me tell you something, Wanda. I can return the Yards to their former glory on my own."I had not known Sylvester's true face to be this arrogant back then when Silas was still here.I did not react much when I heard what he said but it felt like Sylvester had been holding himself back for a long time."Even if you've got incredible power, I'm afraid it's not as easy to revitalize the Yards as you would think. In fact, there's no need for you to conceal anything in front of me. I've managed a company, after all. I've seen everything that goes on behind the scenes." I smiled at him.Sylvester obviously
