Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2033

That remark drove my thoughts wild, and I failed to get a good night's rest in the second half of the night.

When I woke up the next day, it was already mid-morning.

After opening my eyes, I looked at the time on my phone. It was noon. I yawned and turned over, still feeling very sleepy. Just as I was about to go back to sleep, someone called me on WhatsApp.

It was Shannon.

I casually answered the call, my voice still hoarse. "What's up?"

Shannon was obviously surprised when she heard how off my voice sounded. "No way, are you still sleeping? Don't you know that something has happened?"

"Does it have anything to do with me?" I asked in a daze.

"Of course. Theo lost another big project. I heard the shareholders will be holding a board meeting next week to replace him!"

"Oh, is that it? Ah? What? They want to replace Theo?"

I had not registered it at first, but then I bounced off the bed. My mind was instantly awake.

Shannon noticed the change in my mood, and her tone took on a serious edge. "Let's see now if you still can sleep!"

"You said he lost a big project. What kind of project is it for it to have such a big impact?"

"See for yourself."

She threw me a media report, and I read it out loud as I went through it. "Northern Road Real Estate?"

"Yes, Grant Corporation won this project in a previous bid. I didn't expect it to be snatched away so easily. What a pity." Shannon's tone was full of regret. She sounded like she felt sorry for Theo.

I had some understanding of this project. In order to win it before, Theo followed its development for several days and stayed up for several nights before he was fully prepared to win it. Successful development of the land from Northern Road was sure to be lucrative.

"They already signed the contract. How can it still be taken away?"
