Chapter 567

Based on my understanding of Theo's character, I thought he would not attend, but surprisingly, he

nodded and said, "I'm going."

Xander looked meaningfully at Theo but did not say anything else.

Xander and Jerome needed to work in the afternoon, s o we drove off as we did not want to waste

their time.

After driving out of the residential area, I looked at Theo. "Are you really going to attend Petra's

banquet?"

Theo smirked. "Xander said he didn't want to have a meal with Petra at first, but he decided to go

today."

After a pause, he continued, "Also, haven’t you noticed how idle he is?"

I did not really think about it.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that Xander had been too idle lately, which was odd.

His identity as a celebrity aside, even the end of the year work in the Nietzsches’ industry was

enough to keep him on his toes.

I pursed my lips. "Although Petra is now in control of all the Nietzsches’ industries, Xander is still

their heir of the Nietzsches. He shouldn’t be this idle at the end o

f the year, especially at the Nietzsches' auditing firm. I t would usually remain busy until after New

Year's. Could something have happened?”

"Looks like you're not too dumb after all,” Theo mocked me.

Motherf*cker...

Would he only feel better after mocking me?

Theo lifted his hands to touch Munchkin’s face." Nominally, Petra is part of the Nietzsches. She’s in

charge of all of the Nietzsches' industries. Now that her reputation is damaged, the industries under

her name and all the industries under the Nietzsches' are equally affected. Fortunately, the

Nietzsches' family fortune is big enough to help them last until now, but I think it won't last much

longer."

This was something that I had never thought about. After hearing what Theo said, I felt worried for

Xander.

"The most important thing in a company is its reputation as well as the boss' reputation. All the

major companies that worked with the Nietzsches previously have canceled their partnership. The

Nietzsches are now in jeopardy."

I lowered my gaze. "So it’s useless for Xander to go to the company now. He might as well stay at

home and figure out a way to contact companies that can work with the Nietzsches."

Theo nodded. "The only way to help the Nietzsches now is to find several big companies to build

partnerships as soon as possible.”

Munchkin was probably grumpy about being left out, s o he grabbed my hair and swung it around. I

lowered my head and kissed his forehead, then looked at Theo. "Has Grant Corporation canceled

their partnership with Nietzsche Corporations?”

Theo pursed his lips. "Not really, but I hadn't moved the company to Whaldorf City yet when we first

signed the agreement back then. Now that I've moved the company to Whaldorf City, I can't provide

as many funds to Nietzsche Corporations as I used to. That amount is far from enough for the

Nietzsche Corporations now.”

My head hurt after hearing what he said.

I was the one who destroyed Petra’s reputation. I was one of the reasons behind Nietzsche

Corporations' current predicament.

Back then, I did not know that this would indirectly affect Xander...

When we returned to the villa, it was almost noon.

Theo carried Munchkin to our room and told me to keep an eye on him. He went downstairs to bring

Munchkin's things upstairs.

After taking the things upstairs, I walked over and tugged on his sleeve. "I'm hungry, Theo."

Theo kissed my forehead with a smile. "What would you like to eat?"

I pursed my lips. "I want to eat your homecooked food."

After a pause, I continued, "Munchkin wants to eat the food you cook too."

Theo burst out laughing. “Are you sure he can eat solid food right now?"
