Based on my understanding of Theo's character, I thought he would not attend, but surprisingly, he nodded and said, "I'm going."
Xander looked meaningfully at Theo but did not say anything else.
Xander and Jerome needed to work in the afternoon, s o we drove off as we did not want to waste their time.
After driving out of the residential area, I looked at Theo. "Are you really going to attend Petra's banquet?"
Theo smirked. "Xander said he didn't want to have a meal with Petra at first, but he decided to go today."
After a pause, he continued, "Also, haven’t you noticed how idle he is?"
I did not really think about it.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that Xander had been too idle lately, which was odd.
His identity as a celebrity aside, even the end of the year work in the Nietzsches’ industry was enough to keep him on his toes.
I pursed my lips. "Although Petra is now in control of all the Nietzsches’ industries, Xander is still their heir of the Nietzsches. He shouldn’t be this idle at the end o
f the year, especially at the Nietzsches' auditing firm. I t would usually remain busy until after New Year's. Could something have happened?”
"Looks like you're not too dumb after all,” Theo mocked me.
Motherf*cker...
Would he only feel better after mocking me?
Theo lifted his hands to touch Munchkin’s face." Nominally, Petra is part of the Nietzsches. She’s in charge of all of the Nietzsches' industries. Now that her reputation is damaged, the industries under her name and all the industries under the Nietzsches' are equally affected. Fortunately, the Nietzsches' family fortune is big enough to help them last until now, but I think it won't last much longer."
This was something that I had never thought about. After hearing what Theo said, I felt worried for Xander.
