The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2692

"President Zus, we've been working together for so long. Why do you suddenly want to terminate the contract?"

Theo signaled me to hand the phone over to him. I did as he requested, thinking that he must have a way to stop President Zus from wanting to terminate the contract. Instead, what he actually said was, "Okay, President Zus. Let's replace a time to sign the termination agreement."

I snatched the phone back from him after the call ended. "Why did you agree with him so quickly?"

"There's no need to ask for his reason. We all know it." Theo smiled.

I was crestfallen. "I didn't expect Keith to be so heartless as to actually take the project away."

"If anyone else calls to terminate the contract, just say yes," Theo informed me as if having anticipated what was to come.

No longer having the mind to eat, I close the lid. "These projects are with clients who we've been working with for a long time. It's a pity to lose them. It'll also impact Grant Corporation. What will people out there think?

"Forget those out there. What about the company employees? They'll definitely think that Grant Corporation has been struck a serious blow and will go out of business." I held my cheeks with my hands. The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I felt.

Theo suddenly approached me, his handsome face looking large and coming to a stop in front of my eyes. "Even you're worried. It seems that it's only a matter of time before people panic."

"I think it's already begun," I said softly while glancing at him.

I let out another sigh, not knowing what to do.

Theo was still wearing a relaxed smile on his face when he saw me smile. He could even comfort me. "No matter what happens, I'll be relieved as long as you're still here with me."

I could not bring myself to be moved by his romantic words at the moment. "How can you be assured? Don't lie to me. If you're sad, I'll lend you my shoulder." I patted myself on the shoulder. This amused Theo. "I can't do that."

That was true.

I nodded, my expression serious once again. "Seriously, what are you going to do next?"

"Wolfe Group has always been at odds with Grant Corporation. They snagged an opportunity this time. Of course, they'll seize it to belittle us and elevate themselves. What Nibel is considering now is to take away Grant Corporation's projects one by one and throw the company into a crisis. He'll then use Keith, to do something to me." Theo seemed to already have a strong grasp on what they were planning next.

I did not worry much about Wolfe Group. I was most worried about Nibel. Keith was too familiar with Grant Corporation and knew Theo very well. Now, he was at Nibel's side, and that upset me.

"Keith has too much information on Grant Corporation. If Nibel uses any of it, then the consequences..." I did not dare think about it.

Theo also looked a little nervous. He stood up and paced to the window. I followed him and caught a glimpse of his calm profile. "What are you thinking?"

He turned his gaze to me, his gaze wandering, "Do you think Keith is likely to be a turncoat?"

"Since Nibet was able to

successfully poach him, it means he won't be coming back." Just thinking about the look on Keith's face when he stood next to Nibel made me feel uncomfortable. en Narugi

Hearing my answer, the corners of Theo's mouth curled. "Since that's the case, he's now the enemy."

I saw a fire burning in his eyes at this moment. It looked as if he were about to burn someone.

"You have a countermeasure?"

Theo shook his head. "No, but they'll execute whatever trick they have, and we'll follow."

He did not look like he did not have any countermeasures in mind. "Theo, do you still have an ace up your sleeve?"

He looked at me and smiled. That smile was the best answer.
