Chapter 199
Theo just had an ident and several of Grant Corporation''s businesses got into trouble at the
same time. Even a fool could tell that this was no coincidence.
However, I had thought of countless possibilities of who could have been behind it but refused to
believe that Theo would set me up.
He looked at me with a sullen expression and said with a cold voice, "You think I''m using you,
pushing you out to be Grant Corporation''s scapegoat?"
"Weren’t you?" Although I could not believe in Zedd''s wordspletely, they made some sense.
Although I refused to believe it, I had no choice but to admit the truth.
I looked at him with anger in my heart. "The new product release is obviously a very simple matter,
but from the day you handed it to me, there have been obstacles along the way. Also, you put me in
charge of the factory acquisition, which has worn me outpletely because I needed to read a lot
of information every day."
I paused and looked at him. There was not a single expression on his face. He hinted at me to
continue.
I shrugged and continued, "Actually, you were only doing those things so I would sign several Mid-
Nutri documents because Grant Corporation needed apany''s liquidity to make ounts. You
picked Mid -Nutri and me so that even if something happens, it''ll not drag Grant Corporation down.
The things that happened after that are just as you predicted. I became the scapegoat as you
nned."
He narrowed his eyes and gave me a sideways nce. "Your reasoning is correct but a little far-
fetched. Why would I still need to make such a big detour if I wanted you to sign something?"
I could not figure out this point but I firmly believed in my own judgment.
I then said, "You were the one who nned this all along. That''s why you allowed it to happen until
the point of closure before letting Zedde back to handle it. Your goal is simple. You want to buy
loose shares at a low price and then sell them at a high priceter. One way or another, the
company''s market value will grow at an incalcble rate and it’ll pave the way for your development
in Whaldorf City."
He looked at me with a profound look in his eyes. After a very long time, he said, "You’re my wife.
It''ll not be beneficial for me if anything happens to you."
I looked at him and could not help butugh. "But I''m the best candidate, no?"
Not many owned decision-making power in thepany. Mason and Zedd were his best buddies
and they nned to build a career together in the future. H e would not let anything happen to them.
What he had left was me, the indispensable one. I was about to give birth and would eventually
leave thepany anyway.
It was sad to think that I had worked so hard in thepany only to be treated as an outcast since
a long time ago. How I would end had long been decided.
"It isn''t just ck and white in this world, Wanda. Many things are not what you think. I told you, no
matter what happens, you’ll always be my wife. Thepany’s shares will always be yours. This
will never change.”
He said this really slowly. His hands were massaging his temples hard. I could tell that he was really
helpless too.
In fact, I understood that as a decision-maker, he would have to learn how to makepromises in
order to expand. He did not make the wrong choice. M y departure would be able to elerate the
pace of the development of thepany in Whaldorf City. It was considered a form of contribution
to thepany.
I said no more and stood up to wear my clothes. I said t o him, "I''m going downstairs to take a walk.
You keep doing what you were doing."

Things had happened and dwelling on them would not help.
Downstairs, Miss Woods was bustling about in the kitchen. She brought out a bowl of chicken soup
when she saw me. "Your fever has gone down, right? Drink some to fill your belly. I''m already
making lunch."
"Okay." I took the chicken soup and began drinking. I asked casually, "What are we having for
lunch, Miss Woods?"
"I made stew. What else would you like to eat? Let me know so I can prepare it for you," Miss
Woods replied.
"Why don''t we makesagna? I’ll do it." After my feverst night, my appetite had improved and I
suddenly wanted to eat thesagna that Mom used to make.
That was my favorite childhood food. Mom would always make a lot of it and store it in the freezer.
She was always busy working, so I would take some and warm it up myself after school. That was
the best memory of Mom and the best food of my childhood.
Later on, Mom fell sick, so I learned how to makesagna myself and often cooked it for her. Much
later, she passed away and I never atesagna again.
Today, I suddenly had the urge to makesagna just like how Mom made it so Theo could try it.
