At Chao's residence.
Theodore looked at the phone number flashing on the screen at the same time, frowning slightly.
Theodore's father sat on the sofa. He threw down the TV remote, and shouted discontentedly, "Your stupid phone keeps ringing. Can't you just let me watch the news quietly?"
Theodore still didn't say anything. He just took the phone from the coffee table and turned off the phone.
"Who is calling you?" Theodore's mom came over with a plate of fruit in her hand. "Theodore, why don't you answer?"
Hearing this, Theodore's father snorted coldly. "Who else could it be? It must be someone from the Liang family."
"How old are you! Can't you talk nicely? Why are you so angry with your son?" Theodore's mom glared at Theodore's father with dissatisfaction, and handed a piece of apple to Theodore.
"How can I not be angry?" Theodore's father glared at her. "It's all because of you. What's wrong with Elizabeth? He even abandoned her to be together with Josephine."
"But I think that Josephine is much better than Elizabeth. She is beautiful and sweet. Sometimes, she could accompany me to go shopping or get a Before Theodore's mom finished her words, his father got even angrier. "That's all you can do!" He snorted and said, "She has no shame! How could she steal her cousin's fiance?"
In fact, he had heard about what happened to Liang Company. Although he always felt ashamed of the behavior of Liang family, for the sake of his son, he didn't say anything. Now Liang Company had lost their property, so he despised those guys from the Liang family even more. They had tried their best to get the company, but it didn't take long for them to ruin it all. What "geniuses"!
Theodore's mom was embarrassed, and then said, "I haven't finished what I just said, why are you so anxious? Just talking about Josephine herself, I am satisfied with her. But now the Liang family is in such a situation, and she can't take part in any plays now. For our family, I naturally hope that Theodore can find a better girl. After all, Theodore deserves. We still have many girls to choose."
With a snort, Theodore's father said in a softer tone again. "Theodore, I have made it clear to you today. Now even you couldn't change anything about Liang Company. Moreover, I heard that someone was targeting Liang Company behind the scenes. Otherwise, it is impossible for it to suddenly fall."
"As for Josephine," Theodore's father said firmly, "I did not agree to you being together with her before. Now I'm even less likely to agree!"
Theodore didn't say anything, but he frowned even more tightly. Theodore's mom patted Theodore's shoulder and said, "Theodore, I think your father's words are reasonable. Think about it carefully, okay? You are not young anymore. You should get rid of Josephine now. Then I will arrange a few good girls for you to meet. If there is a suitable one, you can marry early and have children as soon as possible..."
It wasn't clear which words upset him. Before Theodore's mom finished
speaking, Theodore picked up his mobile phone irritably and stood up. Then he went upstairs without looking back.
Behind him, his parents were still quarreling about him—
"Look at your son! You spoil him too much!"
"Theodore is just in a bad mood, isn't he? Forget it! I'll call my friends and ask them to keep an eye on those good girls for Theodore..."
Theodore lay down on the bed casually and looked at the ceiling. He was lost in thought.
Recently, he didn't know what had happened, and he was very annoyed. Josephine was still his fiancee, but he didn't even want to answer her phone. He didn't want to see her even more.
It actually wasn't because of the matter of Liang Company or the decline of her fame now. He simply didn't want to see her. When he saw her, he felt annoyed. Or maybe it was the previous two reasons that made him not want to see her. He didn't know either. He knew very well that at this moment, he should accompany her more, but he didn't want to.
