Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 764

Theodore purposefully leaked the news for two reasons: first, to remind everyone that Emilia was his fiancée and that he stood fiercely by her side; second, to naturally flush out any internal opposition threatening their future marriage.

Whether these board members opposed him or not meant absolutely nothing. Factions were inevitable in any massive corporation; if he crushed the old ones, new ones would just sprout in their place.

His only real concern was shielding Emilia from their toxic gossip.

A few moments later, Secretary Vance knocked on the door again.

"Director Paisley is here," Secretary Vance announced.

Theodore nodded and had him shown in.

He led the man to the sofa. Director Paisley had always been a staunch ally of Theodore's faction.

"Theodore, what exactly is going on with you and Emilia?" Director Paisley asked.

Like Ella and George, he viewed this as a simple low-risk investment, but he still wanted absolute clarity.

Theodore calmly walked him through the strategic advantages of the project.

"As for the rumors about their core tech talent leaving," Theodore added, "there is always a solution."

He had no intention of revealing the full truth right now. Emilia needed the space to execute her own plans.

"Rest assured, Director Paisley, I love Emilia. My intention to marry her has absolutely nothing to do with her professional capabilities," Theodore said with a warm smile. "Believe me, she is brilliant."

Director Paisley finally nodded, reaching out to pat Theodore's shoulder. "As long as you know what you're doing. You're not getting any younger, it's about time you settled down."

Theodore smiled and nodded.

Shortly after Director Paisley left, Caleb arrived.

Theodore and Caleb sat down to talk.

Caleb looked incredibly stressed.

"I can't really talk about Elias's situation right now. He's still over in Solmaris focusing on his mother's illness. Any leaked information could easily backfire on us."

Elias was Caleb's close friend and the core tech visionary behind the company.

Theodore expressed his complete understanding.
