NovelEnglishChapter 787 My heart sank. I walked up to the coffee table to pick up the tea that Keith had just brought in. I walked over t o Theo. "A thorny situation?" Theo took the tea from my hand and took a sip before consoling me. "Minor problems like this are easy to deal with." I nodded. I believed everything he said.
I could not be of much help in such situations, and being anxious would only put more pressure on Theo.
I sat on the sofa and looked down at the floor. My heart was far from calm as depicted on the surface.
Problems that could make Theo frown were certainly not easy to deal with. If these rumors affectedalone, then it would not matter that much. However, Theo's reputation was being affected now.

During such a chaotic moment, he was still worried aboutbeing alone at hand losing control of my emotions if I saw negative news like that. Hence, he broughtwith him to the office.
Theo sat in the office chair. The secretary cin with documents and other materials.
Grant Corporation's declining stock price was recorded in the document. Although I did not know much about stocks, I knew how serious the situation was when I saw the red line on the infographic continuing downward. Theo's complexion grew darker and darker. Even Keith seemed a little uneasy as he stood beside him.
Smack! After a long time, he put down the documents in his hand.
Although they hardly weighed much, it sounded especially thunderous in the quiet office.
Sensing my gaze on him, a tender smile appeared on his lips. "Don't worry." I wanted to say something in response to his comfort but I did not know how to start.
I knew that my presence would affect his discussion with Keith, so I got up and went into the lounge.
Theo followedin with unease, embracingand comforting me. "If you're tired, then get a good rest and don't worry about anything. I'm here for you." I pursed my lips, not saying a word.
When he left the lounge, I took out my phone and pulled up the finance and economy website.
The news had caused a huge impact on Grant Corporation. The headlines on the finance and economy website were all about Grant Corporation being hit by this crisis and what it meant for Grant Corporation.

I closed the finance and economy website and gave Matthew a call half an hour later.
The phone quickly connected. There was a lot of noise on his side. He was probably very busy now.
Before I could ask anything, he spoke first, "If I tell you that I have nothing I to do with this, will you believe me?" I nodded. "I will."
He had no reasons to lie. If he was the one who did this, he would have admitted to it readily then tellhis purpose of doing so and what he wanted.
What was more, this matter had impacted Grant Corporation greatly. The stocks were constantly spiraling downward. He viewed Grant Corporation with great importance and would never seek a victory that could cost him greatly. After being silent for a relatively long time, Matthew said, "I'll handle this and not let you get hurt." I pursed my lips. "I don't care how you're going to handle this matter. I'm only calling you to tell you that I don't owe you anymore." There was a long silence on the other side of the phone. He had probably received the message regarding the money transfer.
