Chapter 357: Chapter 359

He picked up the phone and heard a voice boom, “What the hell have you done?

Why did the BRD Group withdraw their investment from our company?”

Francis was shocked and confused.

He replied while feeling aggrieved, “Dad, I didn’t do anything.

I’ve been working on the set all this time.

Where would I find the time to offend someone from the BRD Group?”

“You did nothing? Don’t lie to me.

I want the truth!” Francis’ father shouted through the phone.

Although his father was old, he was still full of energy.

“I’m telling the truth! I didn’t do anything!” Francis replied cowardly.

Although he was arrogant in front of others, he was still afraid of his father.

His father was trained to be a ruthless man in the army during his early years.

Even though Francis was now a middle-aged man, he would still cry every time he got beaten.

“Bullshit! How dare you continue lying! Let me tell you the truth.

I called Mr.

Perkins once I heard about the BRD Group’s withdrawal of its investment.

He said that I should be asking you.

You’d better think about what you have done in the past two days,” Francis’ father scolded furiously.

Suddenly, Francis thought of Ariana and Theodore.

He tumed pale.

From his silence, the older man guessed something must have happened and asked anxiously, “Tell me what happened.

How can I help if you don’t tell me anything?”

Francis swallowed hard and told the truth while deliberately leaving out some details.

He didn’t admit to harassing Ariana tonight.

Instead, he only said that he bumped into Theodore and Ariana.

Francis’ father sighed and said, “Do you think I don’t know what you’re plotting?

You’re planning to do something to that agent.

You’ve always been playing around.

I guess you’ve finally met your match.

“I doubt that.

Didn’t the Anderson Group abandon Theodore after his accident? He even lost all his shares,” Francis said, feeling unreconciled.

He didn’t believe that Theodore could be so capable of influencing the BRD Group to withdraw its investments.

He thought Theodore was about to lose his status, so he agreed to help Donna make things difficult for Ariana and Tyler, in order to butter up to Jasper.

After all, if Theodore was defeated, Jasper would likely inherit the Anderson Group.

His father was so angry at Francis’ ignorance that he scolded, “Why are you such an idiot? Isn’t it clear that the BRD Group is aiding Theodore? The situation in the Anderson Group is complicated.

If we don’t remain neutral, we will be easily implicated.

”

Francis realized he had screwed up.

He panicked and said nervously, “I didn’t know about the complications.

What should I do? I already offended them.

”

His father remained calm and replied, “The BRD Group only withdrew its investment temporarily.

Since they were willing to tell me that you are the reason, it shows there is still a way to resolve this.

Now we need to figure out how to ease the tension between Theodore and you.

We need to clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible.

And don’t tell others about the relationship between that agent and Theodore.

”

“Okay.

”

Ariana and Theodore were lying on their beds after washing up.

Initially, Theodore planned on sharing a bed with Ariana, but he got pushed away.
