Chapter 784
“Really? Then tell me, what exactly did you do right? If you can’t explain, don’t bother going to the company!” Pedro threatened.
Quincy and Hudson were appalled.
Theo, however, remained calm, unaffected by Pedro’s words. “Jane sent Pauline to push Nyla today, but Nyla wasn’t injured, so there’s still room to fix this. Since Jane didn’t get what she wanted, she would probably go after Nyla again.
“If I didn’t expose her earlier and she caused something worse later, the Wilkies might not be able to cover it up.” Theo continued. “Today, our family’s reputation suffered a little in front of Damon and Nyla, and we lost two villas. But next time, it might be far worse.”
As he finished speaking, silence settled over the living room.
After a few moments of reflection, Pedro had to admit that Theo made some valid points.
Still, he shot Theo a cold look and asked, “And you’re saying there’s no self–interest in this for you?”
“Of course there is. I want to start learning how to manage the company,” Theo admitted openly.
Theo’s candid response drew mixed reactions. Aside from Quincy and Hudson, the rest looked on with disdain. After all, Theo was known for his squandering habits, and it would be a miracle to see him work effectively in the company.
Pedro took him seriously, however.
After a moment, he said, “Report to the sales manager tomorrow. If you can close a deal on your own within three months, I’ll let you officially join the company.”
Theo’s face lit up, and he patted his chest. “Grandpa, I promise I’ll do it!”
Meanwhile, Jane’s face paled, and her body nearly buckled. Pedro was actually letting Theo join the company!
Gabriel quickly steadied her, whispering in her ear, “Jane, calm down.”
His steady, reassuring voice pulled her from her shock, allowing her to regain her composure. She took a deep breath, softly pushed Gabriel away, and appeared collected.
She thought about how hard it had been for her to land her first deal, even after three grueling months. She didn’t believe Theo, of all people, would have any more luck. With this, she felt a bit reassured.
Pedro looked back at Theo, warning, “You’d better not disappoint me.”

Then, with the help of the house staff, he got up and left.
With Pedro gone, the rest of the family quickly dispersed.
Jane strode over to Theo, her eyes cold. “Don’t think you’ll get away with pulling stunts to try and get the company. I won’t let someone like you ruin it!”
Theo chuckled, his smile anything but warm. “The company isn’t yours yet. Who Grandpa leaves it to is up to him, not you!”
“You-” Jane retorted, but she was interrupted

More chapters please why stop updating...
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
