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.”
“Because what I said was the truth. I have nothing to be afraid of.”
Daphne said, “You want the truth? I can get my assistant back, and she can tell us the truth.”
Theodore stood calmly. Justin looked at his assistant, and his assistant left. Justin then pushed himself
ahead in the wheelchair. “We can’t reach a conclusion just yet, so everyone, sit.”
Leanna and Daphne sat beside Aidan, while Justin sat beside them. Theodore, on the other hand, sat
across from the four of them.
Aidan said, “Finally decided to catch up with me, Mr. Frost?”
Since Justin was around, Theodore held back his arrogance and asked, “What do you want to talk
about?”
Aidan said, “As I recall, your company invested in the construction of a resort in Newfoundtown four
years ago, but halfway through the project, the site caved in and killed a lot of people. In the end, the
company that took over the project lost everything and filed for bankruptcy, while Frost Corporation
took over and continued the work. Is that right?”
Theodore had a dark look on his face. “And why are you bringing this up?”
“Nothing. Just want to do some catching up. So is the resort built?”
“Yes. A few months ago.”
Aidan continued, “Want to talk about the reason for your divorce/”
“That’s private, so no.”
“I see.” Aidan slowly said, “But I heard some rumors a couple of months ago. The reason for your
divorce was because of that accident at the resort construction site four years ago. Someone had dirt
on you, and your ex-wife knew you might be dragged into… an unsavory circumstance, so she cut all
ties with you to get out of any trouble.”
Theodore shot up. “That’s nonsense!”
