Chapter 192
Lance was quite surprised by how easy it was for his big brother to give up. He thought that Theodore would put up a more aggressive fight against him.
So he got confused and asked, "Wait, that’s it? You’re not going to demand anything?"
Theodore chuckled, and to Lance’s surprise, it sounded like a genuine chuckle with no hidden intention behind it.
"Why would I demand anything? You hold seventy percent of this company’s stock now. Even Mom and Dad have no right in Empress Entertainment anymore. It’s all yours," Theodore said with a smile. "Besides, I must admit, I’m quite pleased you can fool me like this. You and that woman are truly a partner in crime."
Lance and Madeline looked at each other, confused by Theodore’s reaction because they expected him to go nuclear at them.
But Theodore’s reaction was quite amicable. He looked more like a family figure who gave his blessing with pride.
Angel was also utterly shocked because of how easily Theodore gave up this company. She pinched his arm and raised her voice. "Theodore! What are you thinking about!? Are you going to give this company to these two scoundrels? They are nothing but parasites who would ruin our family!"
Theodore’s smile disappeared instantly. He gave Angel a side eye and said, "They’ve proven themselves capable. They fooled me, the heir of the Grant family fortune. I see no problem giving them this company. I’m more than willing to see what kind of work my little brother will do to save the company from bankruptcy."
"You’re making a huge mistake! These people are going to eat us from the inside out!" Angel started to get hysterical once she knew Theo didn’t budge. She got scared when everyone’s eyes were on her.
"Why do you keep accusing my brother? I know him better than you ever will, Angel," Theodore said coldly. "Lance is reckless and cunning, but he’s not cruel, especially to his family. So stop speaking nonsense before I get tired of you."
