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

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

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

Today was the last day Sylvester had to consider his answer. If he had not given us an answer before the clock strikes twelve then our plan would have failed. Seeing Theo so calm, I could not help but be curious. "Are you not worried?"He put down his work and looked at me. His gaze was soft, just as his tone was as he said, "Even if Sylvester doesn't agree to a partnership, we still have other plans, no?" "Maybe so but still, working with him would be the most convenient."Once we cooperate, I would have countless possibilities to get close to Sylvester and that would give me the opportunity to get into Yard Mansion."Sit down, it'll happen sooner or later. Don't worry too much." Theo gestured for me to sit down.I pulled out the chair in front of him, put my phone on the table, and kept my eye on it, afraid that I would miss the message."Sylvester is a smart man. He'll respond," Theo said. He could probably tell I was still worried.Raising a brow, I looked at Theo and a

Sylvester swept a glance at Theo before standing up. "President Grant, likewise."They both shook hands very firmly as if they were secretly comparing strengths. I smiled. "Gentlemen, please have a seat. President Grant, why don't you tell President Yard about the plan?"Theo looked at Keith and he took out a folder of documents, placing them before Sylvester. "This is the plan." "It's just as President Lane had told you before. Grant Corporation's projects will include Yard Group moving forward from today in our partnership. When the time is ripe, the project will be transferred directly to Yard Group. This way, it won't take long for the Yard Group to spread throughout Whaldorf City again. It'll be more convenient for the Yards to win the people's hearts too.Sylvester's expression shifted. Perhaps because of how direct Theo had been. "What are you talking about, President Grant? There's no way you're so selfless as to want to help Yard Group return to their former glory."I
