Chapter 46


    He looked like he was in pain. “But they did not get a chance to run out of the house. All of a sudden,


    the whole house copsed, and they were buried alive in the rumble.”


    I was stunned. I did not expect this at all. I could not help but wrap my arms around Theo‘s shoulders


    and gently pat his back


    It is okay. The hardest part is over.” He did not seem used to being treated with suchpassion. He


    pulled me back into his armis.


    He continued in a deep voice, “They were rescued after that. Grandmother hired the best doctor, but


    with their serious injuries, they still did not make it. They passed away one after another. Before they


    left, they entrusted Cindy to me.”


    I had always known how important Cindy was to him, but I never expected it to be like this.


    Why didn‘t Grandmother let Cindy marry you?” Cindy grew up with Theo and had even saved his life.


    Grandmother could have helped them get together.


    Your focus is always so strange.” He smiled. It was a smile so clear and bright. It was never there


    before


    This is important.” I look at him stubbornly, waiting for an answer.


    “Enough of stories for today. You should go to bed.” He still had not answered my question and just


    carried me upstairs.


    After a night of fussing, I was indeed exhausted. I let him carry me into the room


    When I came out of the shower, I was startled to find him lying there with only a towel wrapped around

    him, looking at his phone. Are you not going back to bed


    He did not answer. Instead, he pulled me into his arms and whispered in my ear, Some debts would


    need to be settled eventually.”


    It waste at night by the time we were done showering. After washing up, he hugged me satisfyingly


    and fell asleep. 1


    As for me, I could not sleep at all. My mind wandered all night until dawni.


    When I woke up again, it was nine in the morning. Theo was nowhere to be seen.


    Thinking back at what happenedst night, my face turned hot. Luckily, he was not around. Otherwise,


    I would not know how to face him.


    I had to go to the office today. Despite myck of energy, I forced myself out of bed.


    Heidi was sitting on the sofa downstairs.


    Why are you here? I was surprised.


    The President asked me to bring you to the headquarters.” Heidi ced the nearly–empty ss of


    water on the table. It seemed like she had been waiting for a long time.


    Why did he want me to go to the headquarters so early in the morning? I d o not have time to think


    about it. I took a few bites of the breakfast that Heidi brought and got up to leave.


    Because Heidi drove, I was dropped off at the entrance of thepany.


    Coincidentally, I bumped into Zedd, who was holding a document in his hand. He was probably here for


    a meeting


    For many years, the Grant family owned department stores, restaurants, and entertainment


    businesses. The Nichols family developed real estate, whereas the Lynch family built their business


    around hospitals and medicine,


    Although the three families had developed their respective businesses well, each business was


    considered small. After the heirs, Theo, Mason, and Zedd took over their family businesses a few years


    ago, they merged theirpanies.


    The merger was very sessful. The development of Salt City was currently controlled by the three


    families. All essential amenities covering food, health, shelter, and transportation were under them.


    However, it was not enough for them. In the past few years, they already had ns to go to a bigger


    city to develop their


    “Oh, Mrs. Grant, showing off so quickly already? Let me tell you, Second Brother does not have you in


    his heart. It is useless even if you stay here 24/7.” Zedd looked at me disdainfully. His eyes were full of


    mockery.


    I froze momentarily, unsure what he meant


    When I was in university, I majored in media. After I entered the Grant family, I was arranged by


    Grandmother to work in the corporate nning department. Three years ago, after I married Theo, I


    was transferred to manage Nectarine Entertainment.


    Since then, I rarely visited headquarters unless necessary.


    Seeing that I did not say anything, Zedd continued to mock me. “Don‘t think that just because you are


    Mrs. Grant that the Grant Corporation would be yours. Just


    because you‘re married to the boss, it doesn‘t make you the boss.“
