Quinn was from the Grant family. She was Theo's cousin. I could understand that it would be difficult to see things from my point of view, but she was standing on Theo's side and giving me unsolicited advice. It was wrong of her to do so.
"Alright, let’s stop talking about this." Quinn was holding back the displeasure in her heart. "Let’s talk about the matter of putting Nectarine Entertainment a s the stakes for this bet. Theo needs a huge sum of funding to develop his career in Whaldorf City. If you lose the bet and give Nectarine Entertainment to Zimmer Corporations for free, have you ever thought how much damage you'll cause Theo?"
"Quinn, you might not know this but Nectarine Entertainment was a small company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. Theo purchased it just to please Cindy. I was the one who developed it to become one o f the strongest subsidiaries that Grant Corporation owns. He didn't even pay a penny to help me. I have full ownership of the company," I said coldly.
"You!" Quinn could no longer suppress the displeasure in her heart.
I did not want to continue the conversation with her." I'm sorry, Quinn. I still have work to do. Please excuse
- 99 me.
After all, Quinn was another selfish person. It would b e a waste of time to talk to such a person. She could never understand my feelings and thoughts.
Back in the office, I saw Matthew sitting on the sofa, leisurely sipping on his cup of tea. I sat opposite him and spoke in a dissatisfied manner, "You seem like you’re in a good mood."
"Why are you upset?" Matthew lifted the corner of his lips and smiled as he poured a cup of tea for me. He asked again, "What did my stepmother talk to you about?"
I picked up the cup of tea and took a sip of it. "She advised me not to divorce Theo and not to touch the Grant family’s things."
"I figured." Matthew gave a light snort and asked meaningfully, "Will you listen to her?"
I curled my lips. "How would that be possible?"
"It's hard to tell." There was a gleam of coldness in Matthew's eyes. "After all, you’re so deeply in love with Theo Grant.”
I widened my eyes and refuted. "I don’t love him!"
