“No. I was the one who invited the BRD Group to join the Anderson Group’s board.
We managed to reach some reasonable agreements,” Theodore shared indifferently.
He leaned back, looking all relaxed and without a care in the world.
However, Ariana felt the opposite. She was born with a knack for overthinking about something before
it actually happened. She often had countless possibilities and results running through her mind.
She advised in a worried tone, “Just don’t set yourself up for failure in the end.”
“Don’t worry. I traded my shares for something more valuable. Everything is under control.” Theodore
opened his eyes as he smiled at her.
Ariana felt awkward before declaring in her stubborn tone, “I’m not worried about you. But I’m afraid

over.”
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered that Theodore didn’t have any shares under his name. He
became a minister without portfolio which made him no different from an ordinary worker. Out of
curiosity, she asked, “So this means that Darian and Jasper don’t need to worry about killing you to get
those shares? And in the future, Adrian will be their primary enemy?”
Theodore nodded, “Theoretically.”
Ariana’s heart raced upon hearing this. She couldn’t help but feel nervous. Licking her lips, she asked
as carefully as she could, “In that case, it wouldn’t matter whether or not you had a child, right?”
At the mention of the child, Theodore’s face darkened out of instinct. He stared at Ariana and asked,
“What do you mean by saying this?”
Ariana avoided his sharp gaze guiltily. She clasped her hands nervously together and replied, “I was
just wondering.”
“Wondering?” Theodore echoed as he squinted suspiciously, thinking about her intentions.
Ariana hastily came up with an explanation. “You once said that if you had a baby, Darian would try to
kill you and take your shares after your child inherited them. It wouldn’t be worth it for Darian to take the
risk now that you don’t have any shares left.”
“So what?” Theodore asked coldly as he put his hand on the armrest.
Hot sweat was dripping down Ariana’s temples. It was really difficult to fool this man! She shouldn’t

“So you have nothing to worry about now, like your own safety,” she stammered nervously, her tone
growing weaker by the second. However, she had to convey her thoughts. “There’s also no need to
worry about the problem of having a baby. After all, you will have your own child in the future.”
She raised her head slowly and peeked at Theodore’s expression. He looked emotionless and said
indifferently, “I will never have my own child.”
“What?” Ariana gasped in shock.
This was beyond Ariana’s expectations. She thought Darian and Jasper were the reason why
Theodore didn’t want a child. However, there appeared to be other reasons.
“What if you meet someone you like in the future?” Ariana asked curtly.
She felt heartbroken at the thought of Theodore falling in love with another woman in the future.
