Chapter 498:

Seething with rage, Theo dialed Freda’s number. Despite the incessant beeps for a whole minute, she never answered.

His expression darkened as he realized Freda was resolute in making things difficult for Elyse.

Determined, he called Zandra.

She almost answered immediately, but before she could greet him, Theo said, “I must end things with Freda Jimenez. If you insist on this marriage, perhaps you should marry her yourself.”

Concerned about the nascent collaboration with the Jimenez family’s company, Zandra hastily inquired, “Why the sudden change? Didn’t you pledge to back the collaboration?”

Theo despised how his mother constantly used the collaboration to manipulate him. Without it, he would have already ended things with Freda.

“I need to see Elyse. I can’t wait any longer,” Theo declared solemnly, his fingers tapping the keyboard as he scrolled through news and photos of Elyse’s championship on his laptop.

Hearing Elyse’s name again, Zandra fumed. She snapped, “Can you not endure a little longer? I’m thinking of your future. You will inherit the company. To marry Elyse, you need to become powerful.”

Pausing, she added, “Remember, Elyse has married Jayden Owen. If you lack power, how will you ever win her back?”
