I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 698

Chapter 698 No Catching Up?

Daphne was right. Theodore wouldn't tell the school about it, let alone the media. There was a market for the buying and selling of acceptance letters, and it had been there for a long time. Louis was not the first to do this, and he would not be the last. If Theodore made it public, the people involved in this trade would destroy him. The threat would only remain a threat.

Theodore sneered. "You're only challenging me because you think your company can back you up, but Aidan's no longer its president, and I'm going to be its partner soon. Do you really think Justin would pick you over me? And without Pearson Group's protection, your little boyfriend is nothing. I can kill him easily."

Daphne said calmly, "Then do it. But before anything happens to him, I will drag your reputation through the mud and destroy you."

Theodore's face fell. He wanted to take a step ahead, but then someone banged on the door. Theodore stopped, looking irritated. A while later, someone opened the door. Leanna showed up and hurried to Daphne's side, glaring at Theodore. "Are you alright?"

Daphne nodded her head. "I'm fine."

Sh*t. This is not what I had in mind. Theodore was about to leave, but two silhouettes blocked the entrance, staring at him coldly. For a moment, Theodore thought he was seeing doubles.

Aidan asked coolly, "And what brings you here, Mr. Frost?"

Theodore heaved a sigh and answered slowly, "Just here to catch up with Daphne. If you need to talk to her, I think I should leave."

"Oh, not so fast." Aidan said, "It's been a while since I saw you, Mr. Frost. Why don't we sit down and chat?" He stepped into the dressing room and plopped down on the couch. Charlotte could finally get in, but someone pulled her back.

She turned around angrily but shut up when she was met with Lachlan's gaze. He shot her a look and she left with him reluctantly.

Theodore looked absolutely upset. He wanted to leave, but he couldn't.

Aidan looked at him calmly. "Why? I thought you'd want to catch up with me."


Aidan had always been an obstacle Theodore wanted to overcome. Every time he tried to partner up with Pearson Group, he would say no, and what happened now annoyed him even more. Why does he get to be the superior? Does he really think he can still control everything? He's no longer the president of the company. Theodore said, "I'm here to talk business with the current company president. I have nothing to say to you."

Aidan said, "Aw, what a shame. You seem to have a lot to catch up with Daphne, so why not me? Sexism?"

"But I don't have anything to say to you."

"I see." Aidan said, "So you do understand that consent is required in contact, huh? Consent from both sides, I mean."

Theodore froze, and someone outside said, "What's going on, Aidan?"

Justin was pushed into the dressing room by his assistant, and he was surprised to see Theodore here. "Mr. Frost?"

Theodore eased up a beat. "Hello, Mr. Pearson."

Justin looked around. "Leanna? You look grim. What happened?"

Daphne said, "Theodore harassed me."

Theodore protested, "Don't listen to her, Mr. Pearson! I was just passing by, and I did nothing!"

Leanna said, "Then why was the door locked?"

"I had no idea who locked the door. I was…"

"The door was locked from the inside. You're telling me that Daphne was the one who locked it? I find that suspicious."

"It's possible, you know." Theodore mocked, "She seduced me three years ago, and now that I'm divorced, she was trying to pull the same trick to make me marry her, and now she's accusing me of harassment. Mr. Pearson, I don't think you should keep a morally corrupted artiste around."

Leanna laughed mirthlessly. "Oh my, the liar accusing the victim of lying. Classic."

Theodore looked at them. "You're her friend. You might not be working with her, but you might have been duped too. You have no idea of the truth, and you have no right to question my integrity."

Justin frowned. "Watch what you say, Mr. Frost."

Theodore straightened out his collar. "Sorry, Mr. Pearson. I was beside myself, but please forgive me."

Aidan leaned on the couch and tapped his knees. "Ah, you sure can twist a story, Mr. Frost. No wonder you managed to escape the events that happened three years ago unscathed."
