Chapter 787


    My heart sank. I walked up to the coffee table to pick u p the tea that Keith had just brought in. I


    walked over t o Theo. "A thorny situation?”


    Theo took the tea from my hand and took a sip before consoling me. "Minor problems like this are


    easy to deal with."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    I nodded. I believed everything he said.


    I could not be of much help in such situations, and being anxious would only put more pressure on


    Theo.


    I sat on the sofa and looked down at the floor. My heart was far from calm as depicted on the


    surface.


    Problems that could make Theo frown were certainly not easy to deal with. If these rumors affected


    me alone, then it would not matter that much. However, Theo''s reputation was being affected now.


    Theo’s reputation was representative of Grant Corporation''s reputation. If he had a good reputation,


    then the stockholders would trust him; if he had a bad reputation, then the stockholders would lose


    their sense of security. It would cause the stock market to drop, thus causing a great impact on


    Grant Corporation.


    The shareholders and stockholders were definitely on tenterhooks at the moment, which would in


    return give Theo pressure.


    During such a chaotic moment, he was still worried about me being alone at home and losing


    control of m y emotions if I saw negative news like that. Hence, he brought me with him to the office.


    Theo sat in the office chair. The secretary came in with documents and other materials.


    Grant Corporation''s declining stock price was recorded in the document. Although I did not know


    much about stocks, I knew how serious the situation was when I saw the red line on the infographic


    continuing downward.


    Theo''splexion grew darker and darker. Even Keith seemed a little uneasy as he stood beside


    him.


    Smack!


    After a long time, he put down the documents in his hand.


    Although they hardly weighed much, it sounded especially thunderous in the quiet office.


    Sensing my gaze on him, a tender smile appeared on his lips. "Don’t worry."


    I wanted to say something in response to hisfort but I did not know how to start.


    I knew that my presence would affect his discussion with Keith, so I got up and went into the lounge.


    Theo followed me in with unease, embracing me andforting me. "If you''re tired, then get a good


    rest and don’t worry about anything. I''m here for you."


    I pursed my lips, not saying a word.


    When he left the lounge, I took out my phone and pulled up the finance and economy website.


    The news had caused a huge impact on Grant Corporation. The headlines on the finance and


    economy website were all about Grant Corporation being hit by this crisis and what it meant for


    Grant Corporation.


    Some experts said that there was too much negative news about Grant Corporationtely, causing


    serious distrust among stockholders, which could lead to thepany''s total copse.


    Other experts said that Grant Corporation''s development had reached its peak. It was not


    impossible for them to survive this crisis. It all depended on how they handled it.


    I closed the finance and economy website and gave Matthew a call half an hourter.


    The phone quickly connected. There was a lot of noise on his side. He was probably very busy now.


    Before I could ask anything, he spoke first, "If I tell you that I have nothing to do with this, will you


    believe m e?" I nodded. "I will."


    He had no reasons to lie. If he was the one who did this, he would have admitted to it readily then


    tell me his purpose of doing so and what he wanted.


    What was more, this matter had impacted Grant Corporation greatly. The stocks were constantly


    spiraling downward. He viewed Grant Corporation with great importance and would never seek a


    victory that could cost him greatly.


    After being silent for a rtively long time, Matthew said, "I''ll handle this and not let you get hurt."


    I pursed my lips. "I don''t care how you''re going to handle this matter. I''m only calling you to tell you


    that I don''t owe you anymore."


    There was a long silence on the other side of the phone. He had probably received the message


    regarding the money transfer.
