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

"You're not going to say any nonsense to the outside world, are you? I warn you, don't do it." Sylvester's expression abruptly turned cold as he warned me seriously.Did he think I was him? I scoffed and replied lightly, "Sylvester, I would never do something so unrefined." I could tell there were ripples behind Sylvester's calm visage now. One of his long arms was pressed against the hem of his suit trousers. His slightly hooked fingers proved the conflict that he was feeling at the moment."If nothing else, then I'll leave first now.""You said you wanted to bring Silas down with me. What's your plan?" Sylvester finally said.It was Sylvester's dream to use Grant Corporation to elevate himself. Considering I had personally come knocking on his door with the opportunity, he really had no reason to not agree.The corners of my mouth curled slightly. "It's actually very simple. As long as you do your best to lead the Yard Group, I believe the people will side with you soone

I did not go back to Green Orange but went to Grant Corporation directly. Theo shut the door tight when he saw me. There were only the two of us in the office. "How did it go?" he asked. I sighed and shook my head. "He didn't give me an answer right away. I said I'll give him two days. If I don't hear from him in two days, I'll take it as he's given up." "Well done." Theo patted me on the shoulder. "That's the way. The initiative is in my hands." Theo looked steady but I was inexplicably agitated. "Do you think he'll see through us?""Sylvester's mind should now wholly be on how to revitalize the Yards. He won't think too much about anything else, let alone what you are going to do." His words made sense and I gradually calmed down. "I hope we'll hear good news." Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and Theo and I stopped talking."Theowy, I brought someone over."Cindy had brought Arthur over. When she noticed I was here, her expression obviously changed. Then she lo
