The Woman From Hell

"Why did you suddenly want to hold a banquet?" Shannon asked after hearing my thoughts.

I laid down my work and met her eyes. "I call it a banquet but it's actually a thank-you party to thank those who have helped us."

Shannon leaned back into her chair, lost in thought while frowning slightly. "There have indeed been many people who've helped us ever since we started Green Orange. But if that's the case, don't you have to invite Theo?" When it came to gratitude, he would be the first person Green Orange should thank.

My expression changed slightly when he was mentioned, but I quickly recovered myself and nodded slowly. "Yes, we have to invite him."

"Are you planning something again?" Shannon narrowed her big eyes as she looked at me in suspense.

I nodded and admitted it, saying, "I've discussed this with someone. If I want Nibel to believe me, I must first deal a blow to Grant Corporation. This plan is to convince Theo to work with Silas."

"It's not that you can't do that, but even if you do manage to convince Theo, can you be so sure that Silas will agree to work with him?"

"He definitely will." My gaze was determined. "Silas has no other choice."

"This weekend."
