Chapter 787

My heart sank. I walked up to the coffee table to pick u p the tea that Keith had just brought in. Iwalked over t o Theo. "A thorny situation?”

Theo took the tea from my hand and took a sip before consoling me. "Minor problems like this areeasy to deal with."

I nodded. I believed everything he said.

I could not be of much help in such situations, and being anxious would only put more pressure onTheo.

I sat on the sofa and looked down at the floor. My heart was far from calm as depicted on thesurface.

Problems that could make Theo frown were certainly not easy to deal with. If these rumors affectedme alone, then it would not matter that much. However, Theo's reputation was being affected now.

Theo’s reputation was representative of Grant Corporation's reputation. If he had a good reputation,then the stockholders would trust him; if he had a bad reputation, then the stockholders would losetheir sense of security. It would cause the stock market to drop, thus causing a great impact onGrant Corporation.

The shareholders and stockholders were definitely on tenterhooks at the moment, which would inreturn give Theo pressure.

During such a chaotic moment, he was still worried about me being alone at home and losingcontrol of m y emotions if I saw negative news like that. Hence, he brought me with him to the office.

Theo sat in the office chair. The secretary came in with documents and other materials.

Grant Corporation's declining stock price was recorded in the document. Although I did not knowmuch about stocks, I knew how serious the situation was when I saw the red line on the infographiccontinuing downward.

Theo's complexion grew darker and darker. Even Keith seemed a little uneasy as he stood besidehim.

Smack!

After a long time, he put down the documents in his hand.

Although they hardly weighed much, it sounded especially thunderous in the quiet office.

Sensing my gaze on him, a tender smile appeared on his lips. "Don’t worry."

I wanted to say something in response to his comfort but I did not know how to start.

I knew that my presence would affect his discussion with Keith, so I got up and went into the lounge.

Theo followed me in with unease, embracing me and comforting me. "If you're tired, then get a goodrest and don’t worry about anything. I'm here for you."

I pursed my lips, not saying a word.

When he left the lounge, I took out my phone and pulled up the finance and economy website.

The news had caused a huge impact on Grant Corporation. The headlines on the finance andeconomy website were all about Grant Corporation being hit by this crisis and what it meant forGrant Corporation.

Some experts said that there was too much negative news about Grant Corporation lately, causingserious distrust among stockholders, which could lead to the company's total collapse.

Other experts said that Grant Corporation's development had reached its peak. It was notimpossible for them to survive this crisis. It all depended on how they handled it.

I closed the finance and economy website and gave Matthew a call half an hour later.

The phone quickly connected. There was a lot of noise on his side. He was probably very busy now.

Before I could ask anything, he spoke first, "If I tell you that I have nothing to do with this, will youbelieve m e?" I nodded. "I will."

He had no reasons to lie. If he was the one who did this, he would have admitted to it readily thentell me his purpose of doing so and what he wanted.

What was more, this matter had impacted Grant Corporation greatly. The stocks were constantlyspiraling downward. He viewed Grant Corporation with great importance and would never seek avictory that could cost him greatly.

After being silent for a relatively long time, Matthew said, "I'll handle this and not let you get hurt."

I pursed my lips. "I don't care how you're going to handle this matter. I'm only calling you to tell youthat I don't owe you anymore."

There was a long silence on the other side of the phone. He had probably received the messageregarding the money transfer.
