Chapter 699 - Bad News (1/2)

'This guy is indeed scary.' Boris thought as he remembered when Theo told him that he needed to resist him with everything he got. 'He must know that Agata would decipher this message.

'Basically, he made Agata tell this instruction to everyone while I need to keep mine a secret even though it's the same as what he said. This way, everyone still thinks I have a trump card when I actually don't…

'If everything is according to his plan, I don't know what to call him. A genius, a freak, a monster? Nah, those titles are bad. I will just call him son-in-law.' Boris was laughing inside, wondering what he should do to slightly push the two together. He needed to make sure Agata could get him before any girls stole his heart.

Luckily, Theo wasn't someone who judged women by their looks. Agata would win nonetheless, but he might have a weird preference.

So, since he preferred to build a relationship instead of falling in love, Agata had the biggest progress out of other competitors.

This thought alone made him smile as he became more and more shameless to acknowledge Theo as his son-in-law, even if it meant only he knew about it.

After calming his heart down and making sure he didn't give away any information, Boris asked, ”So, what's the last thing you want to say?”

Agata stopped for a moment and clutched her heart. ”I trust Theo. Back in the goblin camp mission, trusting him was the best choice of my life because it literally changed my life, allowing me to get all this.

”After being with him for months, I know that he won't harm me. He's the best guy that I can hope for… So, I believe that no matter how dark our situation is, he will save us.” Agata showed them a genuine expression.

With just a single glance, they knew Agata truly meant those words.

”…” Boris fell silent and nodded. ”Okay. I, too, shall trust him completely this time.”

”Thanks.” Agata scratched the back of her head and looked down. Even though it was such a warm word, she truly couldn't bring herself to be happy.

”What happened? Why do you have such a long face?”

”Actually, because I trust him that I know he's going to hit the company hard and that he will fulfill the contract.” Agata made a troubled expression, not knowing what to say to her family that the man she loved indeed planned to bring them down.

”Well, he must not mean to destroy our company completely. That's why Sir Leonardo said that we need to resist him with all we got.” Stefano nodded. ”Hence, I will follow the instructions of the family head for our glory.”

”Okay. I will leave my investors to you three and this family to you, Rina.” Boris nodded. ”I will take care of the company.”

”Understood.” Efrem, Ghita, and Stefano nodded in unison while Rina said, ”It's been a while since I wielded my weapon…”

”Ahaha…” Boris gently rubbed his cheek with his finger before his Skylink vibrated.

The call took everyone's attention as they stayed for a bit longer to hear the content.

Boris also knew about it and accepted the call, putting it on the speaker. ”Yeah, what is it?”
