Moses paused for the slightest moment and said cautiously, "If you do that, then the Bailey family..."
"This is the price that they have to pay. Isn’t Josephine a good actor? She shouldn’t have let me find out that she was acting this whole time," Theodore said as his expression turned livid and the smile he had disappeared.
Then, Moses immediately took action, and he quickly left the room. He was worried that he would see Theodore even more agitated if he stayed any longer.
The office fell back into silence after the door was shut. The sun rays shone on Theodore’s body, but it could not sweep away his depressed feeling.
Perhaps to him, he might never experience warmth in his life ever again.
He had pushed the love of his life away with his own hands, and she would never come back.
At the same time, Josephine was getting her treatment done at a salon, and she had no idea about the storm that was coming.
After she got home, she immediately sensed that the atmosphere at home was different from usual. Her father couldn't help sighing as she walked past, so she asked him, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"What happened between you and Theodore? Why did he remove all the funds?" Her father, Jefferson, was furious when he heard her voice.
When he first knew that Josephine had become a couple with Theodore, he was elated. He felt that the Bailey family could seize the opportunity to finally achieve new heights in their business. For the past seven years, he had gained a lot of advantages from it, which made him even believe very firmly that Josephine would one day marry Theodore.
However, with the current situation, all the deals were called off, and they refused to negotiate even if Jefferson paid them to.
Josephine couldn’t take the news. "How is this possible?" Previously, Theodore had already told her that he would work with her family.
Why was he acting this way?
"See for yourself!" Jefferson threw all the documents at her. She looked at the papers in disbelief. She didn't know much about the business side of things, but the losses were very severe.
"No way, he promised to help me. I'll go talk to him." She couldn' t believe what was happening, and she left the place immediately.
Truth be told, she had been walking on edge all these years in order to better her family, so that one day, they could be proud of their achievements. If the Bailey family was to fall now, she would be left with nothing,
Then, Josephine sped all the way to the Godfrey Group. The receptionist didn't stop her as she had been there before, and she arrived at Theodore's office quickly.
"Theodore, why did you do this?" Josephine couldn't suppress her anger and lashed out at him at once, showing her dissatisfaction.
He was facing the window until he heard her voice. Then, he turned back to face her with a sharp glare.
She was alarmed by his gaze and she stammered, "Theodore, why are..." He was acting very strangely at that moment.
However, she could not finish her sentence no matter how hard she tried. He was like a ferocious tiger and she was just a meek lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"What about me? Hmm?" His cold, hard voice echoed throughout the office, and the atmosphere was very cold.
Hence, she could feel the fear from the bottom of her heart.
"No... Nothing... Can I please know why you backed out of all the deals with the Bailey family?"
"Because I said so. Do you have any other opinions?" Theodore said with a snicker, and his eyes flashed dangerously.
