Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1147

Theo's expression darkened, and he frowned. "Grandpa, it's not that I don't want to listen to you, but this situation is already affecting the company. I need to give the shareholders an explanation. Several of them confronted me today."

Just thinking about the scowls on those shareholders' faces irritated him. He knew full well that they didn't take him seriously. Some even had the nerve to compare him unfavorably to Jane.

Pedro stared at him coldly. "A few complaints from shareholders, and you're already falling apart? What will you do if the company faces a real crisis?"

"Grandpa, if you keep stirring things up like this, we might not need to wait for a real crisis—the company could collapse any day now," Theo countered.

"Say that again?" Pedro growled.

Facing his grandfather's icy glare, Theo instinctively shrank back, muttering under his breath, "I'm just stating the facts..."

"Get out!" Pedro hurled a file at his feet, his face livid with anger.

Theo sighed helplessly. "Grandpa, getting mad won't fix anything. You insisted on breaking off the partnership with Prospectus Technology, and now I'm stuck cleaning up the mess."

"If you say one more word, you won't need to show up at the company tomorrow!" Pedro threatened.

Theo fell silent. So much for speaking the truth...

He turned and left the study.

His phone rang the moment he stepped out of the house. It was his secretary.

"Mr. Wilkie, since we terminated the partnership with Prospectus Technology, our production line has ground to a halt. Inventory is piling up, and if this continues, the company's cash flow could dry up at any moment," his secretary reported.
