Chapter 30
“Wanda!” Heidi shouted out behind me in an urgent tone. I knew that it was going to be hard for her, but I
had no choice. I had to look for Theo and get him to come up with a solution to this problem.
The company headquarters was located in the busiest street in the city center. The Grant Corporation
owned the thirty -floor high-riseskyscraper. The first to the fifth flours were made into a shopping mall.
The seventh to the twelfth floors were full of food and beverage enterprises, a cinema, a gym, and
entertainment facilities. The building had a diverse range of businesses.
The offices were located on the thirteenth floor and above. Theo’s office was on the highest floor.
Theo’s office space was similar to other office spaces. It was developed in a simple professional all-black
design. I felt a sense of seriousness as soon as I entered the room.
Although it was a summer day, I could feel a cold sense of unwelcomeness,
Theo liked the silence. The few people i n the secretary’s office were the only ones in the spacious office
space. I walked toward the room labeled as the President’s office
Keith was seated outside the door. He greeted me in a polite but cold tone when he saw me. “Madam,
the President is having a meeting. Please wait outside in the hall.”
I nodded after hearing what he said. I returned to the hall and sat down on the sofa.
Keith continued to keep himself busy

with his work. After a few thoughts, I got up and walked toward him. “Theo had been getting drunk a lot
lately. Do you know what happened?”
Theo rarely got so drunk. Was it because of the child or Cindy Reed?
Slightly stunned, he raised his head and replied to me with a blank expression o n his face, “I do not
know.
Such a tight-lipped man! I walked back to the sofa, and I sat down again.
I was easily lethargic recently. After sitting down for a while, I dozed off.
In my groggy state, I heard the sound of the room door opening. I quickly tidied my hair and sat up
straight.
Three people came out of the room. Zedd, Mason, and Theo appeared in front of me. They were all
looking handsome and had exuded a charming aura. If they debuted together as a
band, they would definitely be famous worldwide.
While I was lost in my thoughts, Zedd, who stood in front of both of them, spoke up. “Oh wow, you surely
are heartless. The company is about to go bankrupt, yet you’re still in the mood to sleep here.”
His words were unnecessarily harsh.
I looked over at Theo, who was standing behind them. There was a dark and emotionless expression on
his face. I rolled my eyes at Zedd and said, ” President Lang, are you a nosy person? You somehow
seemed to meddle in someone else’s affairs.”
Hah!” Mason, who was between both o f them, chuckled lightly. He looked amused. He had no intention
to say anything and was simply in for the drama.
“Wanda Lane, do not be so arrogant.
What right do you have to speak to me that way?” Zedd shouted at me. His face was flushed red with
anger.
I did not want to bother with Zedd. He would definitely mock me on behalf of Cindy every single time we
met.
I retorted immediately in a low voice. “I t is so early in the morning. Why is there a crow in here? How
inauspicious!”

Zedd was infuriated when he understood the meaning of my words.” Wanda Lane, you’re such a
shameless woman. Since when was Grant Corporation your home? You are such a cruel woman. You
murdered the Grant family’s offspring and have blood on your hands. How dare you treat this place like
your home!”

Theo’s.
Mason grabbed hold of him and said, ” Zedd, they have things to discuss by themselves. Let’s go out
first!” After speaking, he dragged Zedd out of the room.
Theo and I were the only ones left in the large reception hall. I turned to look at him. “Theo Grant, why
did you not tell me that you terminated Sherry Young’s contract?” I asked him.
You were given a chance to fix this, but you did not take it,” he said coldly.
‘Is that even a chance? It was an order. You knew that the compensation would be massive. I am still in
charge of Nectarine Entertainment right now. Now that her contract is terminated, this project might be
stuck. I would have to compensate the investors and commercial sponsors then. How can I afford to pay
such a huge compensation?”
That is your problem to handle,” Theo huffed coldly. His face remained emotionless. I could not tell what
was going through his mind right now.
“It is my fault for not handling this problem in time, but the shareholders and investors are all waiting for
me in m y office. I do not have any choice but to ask you to come and negotiate with them to settle this
problem.”
I decided to be straightforward with him since he behaved as if the incident had nothing to do with him.
After a while, Theo finally spoke up, “I can resolve this, but I have a condition.”
