NovelEnglish| gritted my teeth. "I know that. You don't have to remind me."
"Then shouldn't you be shedding a few tears or expressing skind of sorrow?" Tory asked mockingly.
Just as | was about to lose my temper, something clicked inside my head.
That was right. If someone intentionally found a corpse that looked like Theo, did it not mean that someone
wanted us to think that Theo was dead?
Then why did | not let them think that their plan worked so they would put down their guard?
When he saw that | had realized something, Tory sneered. "You're not too
dumb, after all.
This man did not know how to speak nicely.
"What are you planning to do?"

"What can | do?" Tory shrugged. "I have no plans at all. There's nothing | can do. All | can do is wait anxiously."
| squinted at him. "Are you serious?"
"Of course."
After observing him for a moment, | realized that he was being serious. My expression fell. "What's the meaning
of this?"
"It's exactly what it sounds like. Miss Lane, did you not complete your formal education? Don't tellyou can't
understand something so simple?" Tory retorted sarcastically.
| took a deep breath, forcing myself to remain calm. "Mr. Zimmerson, you and Theo have decided to form a
partnership Why is it that when you need his help, he'll gladly help you, but when he needs your help you can't
do the sfor him?"
"You're too naive, Miss Lane."
Tory walked up to me. "We're all businessmen. The premise of cooperation is that the other party can help me.
For example, before | help him, I'll have to make sure that he can helpin the future. Theo was kidnapped
after he was seriously injured. If | spend tand resources to rescue him but it turns out that he's already dead,
wouldn't that be a waste? Moreover, I'd be getting into a lot of unnecessary trouble because of a dead man. If
you were me, would you still rescue
him?"
He meant every word he said.
| had no way of refuting him. There was no friendship between him and Theo. They were nothing but business
partners. As a businessman, he would not perform a transaction that would put him at a loss. Moreover, if
something had happened to Theo, he could still turn around and work with Milan.
If I wanted him to save Theo, | must make sure that he had nothing to lose. | had to let him know that he had
more to gain from rescuing Theo.
If you could not impress someone into doing something for you, it just meant that what you were giving was not
enough.

| took a deep breath, looked at Tory, and said, "Tory Zimmerson, you must know that you don't have anyone else
to rely on. It's you against the entire Zimmerson family. | can already predict that they'll devour you one day,
right down to your very bones. Milan can't help you as much as Theo can. You should know that by now. Now, I'm
giving you two choices. One, you can choose Milan. If you do that, Grant Corporation, the Louis family, and the
Schuman family will help everyone else in the Zimmerson family. Two, you choose Theo and you'll receive
unconditional support from the Louis and Schuman families." "Are you threatening me?"
"If you choose the second option, I'd say I'm offering you a good deal."
Tory leaned over to look at me, and asked in a serious tone, "Which Schumans are you talking about?"
"Is there another Schuman family in Whaldorf City?"
Unless it was the last resort, | would never have mentioned the Schumans.
After all, the Schumans were capable of intervening in many things, but it might have considerable
consequences.
Tory's expression changed slightly. "What connection do you have with the Schumans?" "You don't have to worry «
about that. | can assure you that if | speak up, the Schumans will help you."
