Chapter 1341


    Theo smiled softly. "Why would I reprimand you? I haven''t even had the chance to praise you yet. My wife is so kind. Not only that, she can be


    pleased with money and doesn’t make me upset. Of course, I''d have no problem giving you another 300,000 dors.”


    The way he pampered me made me so happy.


    I leaned into his embrace, wrapped my arms around him, and said, "Thank you, Theo."


    Sometimes, I truly felt incredibly lucky to be married to Theo.


    When I recalled the incident at the casino, I asked him, "Why did Mne to Limbia? What were you guys talking about in the private room? Were


    you guys making some kind of deal?"


    Theo looked down at me and smiled. "Why is my wife so smart?"


    I pursed my lips and was silent, waiting for him to give me an answer.


    Theo sighed softly. "Mn can no longer do anything overseas, and his hands are tied. Hence, he could onlye to Limbia to find another way out.


    Mr. Zimmerson and Mn''s father were old acquaintances as well. As for the cooperation with the Zimmersons’ businesses, Madam Mathilda was still


    unsure whether to hand it to me or Mn. She might prefer me, but Mn is currently in a tight spot, which was why she was hesitant to decide. In the


    end, she requested that Mn and I discuss this face -to-face. Only then would she make her decision.”


    I suddenly understood why Tory had trouble making up his mind.


    Being unsure of who Madam Mathilda preferred, Tory chose not to pick sides. Instead, he chose to protect his own interests. If I had not revealed my


    identity, perhaps he never would have chosen to help Theo.


    If he chose to help Theo, all he had to do was say a few words in front of Madam Mathilda and she would pick Theo.


    Under the circumstance that bath Tory and Madam Mathilda picked Theo, Theo would be the one who could ultimately help Tory once Madam


    Mathilda passed away.


    If it were only Theo, Tory might have hesitated. However, once the Louis family was added to the equation, he no longer had a reason to hesitate.


    Grayson''s power and his frightening methods were enough to tip the bnce in Thec''s favor.


    Theo looked down at me with a solemn expression. "Are you mad that I used your father as a bargaining chip?


    I shook my head. "I''l be happy to have any resources that can be useful to you, even more so if they can help you in any way. It''ll make me feel more


    worthy of such an excellent man like you."


    Theo sighed. "You''re so silly. You''re already an excellent woman on your own. It has nothing to do with your identity. In my eyes, there''s no other


    woman who can everpare to you. You''re worthy of my love, and I''ll love you with all my life."


    No matter how many times I heard those romantic words, I still enjoyed listening to them. They still lit up my heart with joy.


    I hoped that he would never be stingy with his sweet words because each one of them wove into beautiful memories between us. When we turned


    old, we would have an endless supply of sweet memories.


    Limbia was not cold at all during this season. However, the environment was not great, and the sky was always thick with fog.


    Theo left early in the morning. Tory had just taken over the Zimmerson family and would face many difficulties. Since Theo had formed some sort of


    cooperation with him, he had to lend him a hand.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    Iy in bed aimlessly, then decided to leave the hotel on my own


    Since I was already here, I might as well go and check out the sights.


    The city was not big, but it was densely popted. Even though it was working hours, the streets were packed. Everyone seemed to be in a rush, and


    it made my leisurely pace seem out of ce.


    Just then, I noticed a disheveled-locking man sitting on the side of the road. I stopped in my tracks.


    It was not that I was trying to help him out of the kindness of my heart, but this man looked very familiar.


    The man seemed to notice that someone was staring at him and looked up.


    He recognized me, and a smile spread across his initially expressionless face.


    It was a sly smile that made me instantly recall his identity. That day when Theo and I were leaving the casino, he was the man who got beaten up by


    a group of strang


    men


    Why did he still look so disheveled?


    I furrowed my brows. I had no sympathy for such a self-destructive person. After a nce, I looked away and left


    I continued strolling, but when I felt someone following behind me, I stopped and turned around.


    That man was following me. I stayed silent and fished out my purse from my bag, handing him a few notes.


    He did not reach out to take the money and just kept locking at me with a smile.


    I furrowed my brows. "I don''t have a lot of cash on me. Please just take this and leave. Don''t follow me.”


    The man still did not take the notes and just kept smiling at me like an idiot


    I realized that perhaps he might have a few screws loose, so I turned to leave.


    "I know you, Miss Lane,” he said suddenly.


    Of course, he knew me. We had just


    seen eachother two days ago. I


    looked at him with furrowed brows.


    "You can fill your stomach with this


    mopey. Don''t gamble anymare. Just


    find a job and live a good life."


    When faced with someone so reckless, 1 knew it was pointless to advise him, but I still did it anyway.


    The man adjusted his shirt to make.


    himself look more presentable, not


    that it Relped much. "I don''t want


    yourmoney. My mom asked me to


    thank you. You''re a good pérson.”


    I was perplexed. "Who''s your mom?


    He thought about it for a moment, then said, "My mom is my mom. Who else can she be?"


    I was at a loss for words. It was difficult tomunicate with this man.


    "I meant, how does your mom know me?"


    The man smiled darkly. It was a smile that sent shivers up my spine. "Amelia is my younger sister.”


    The name Amelia was all too familiar. The moment I heard that name, something clicked in my brain. "You''re Amelia''s brother?”


    He was the elder brother who did not have limits nor a shred of humanity in him due te his gambling habits?


    The man just kept smiling. "That''s right, I''m Amelia''s brother. My sister fell to her


    death at Grant Corporation, and you guys only reimbursed such a small amount of cash for human life. My mother is a fool, but I''m not.”


    I furrowed my brows, putting my guard up." What are you trying to do?"


    He nced around and said maliciously," Theo cares about you deeply. If I were to kidnap you, he''ll surely give me a lot of money."


    I was not surprised that he would say something like that.


    If he could steal his nephew''s treatment funds, he could surely do much worse.


    I looked at him with a serious


    expression and''said calmly, "Your


    sistermitted suicide. It had N


    nothing todo with Grant Corporation


    at all. Fit were not for us ~


    sympathizing with your family and if


    it weren''t for Amelia''s son suffering


    fram leukemia, we wou dnt have


    given your mother that sdm of


    money."
