I found Jordan's phone number and was just about to call him when something dawned on him. He snatched my phone away in a hurry, saying with a disgusted expression, "I just praised you for not being so stupid and now you’re going to act like a fool in front of me?"
I froze. "W-What’s wrong?"
"Why are you giving him a call when you don’t even know if he’s an enemy or a friend? If it weren't for your family background, it would be really strange for Theo to have fallen in love with a stupid woman like you."
Why was this man so sharp-tongued?
I sighed, asking, "You suspect him?" "Of course." Tory stuffed the phone into my arms. "Do you think only Theo and Milan are eager to have business cooperations in Limbia? Do you not know that the Fredericks want a slice of the cake too? If cooperation can be reached, the benefits brought will be unimaginable.
Businessmen will do anything for the sake of profit. Why else do you think Jordan came to Limbia? You think he’s here on a vacation? Wake up. Stop being so naive.”
His words awoke me, and my thoughts became clear.
I looked at him and said seriously, "So, 1 can't only suspect Milan right now but all the people who want a piece of that cake."
"Stop with your reasoning. No amount of reasoning can save your husband," Tory mercilessly said.
I lowered my head. Tory was right. Everyone was the enemy in the face of interest. There was no kinship or friendship. A person could use any means in the face of huge interest.
When Harold gave Theo such a huge piece of cake, it was bound to make a lot of people envious. They would try to snatch this piece of cake away from him, doing anything just to do it.
I pursed my lips and looked up at Tory. "Do you have any good suggestions?"
