SWNOVELS Chapter 89
Chapter: 89
The door closed again, and the room was silent.
The soup on Theodore’s trousers was still steaming as it slowly dripped to the floor. The colorful food
particles stood out against the black color of his trousers.
Ariana picked up a towel and dabbed at the soup. She could feel the heat through the towel. She
imagined how painful it would be if it had spilled onto her.
But Theodore acted as if nothing had happened.
“It’s okay. I can’t feel anything. You don’t have to be so nervous,” he said indifferently.
Ariana’s hand paused. For some reason, she felt a little sad when she heard that he couldn’t feel
anything.
She pursed her lips and continued to wipe his trousers. “Haven’t you got a fixation with cleanliness?
You’ll be uncomfortable if I don’t clean it up quickly.”
Theodore didn’t answer. He lowered his eyes and stared at her head, lost in thought.
Feeling the strong muscles underneath Theodore’s trousers, Ariana had a thought.
He had not reacted at all when the soup spilled on him. Not even a blink. Maybe he was actually
disabled. But why hadn’t his muscles atrophied at all?
Maybe she was overthinking it.
Distracted, she moved her hand randomly, but then a cold hand grabbed her wrist.
“Enough! Why are you wiping there?”
Hearing the anger in Theodore’s voice, she came back to her senses and realized what she had just
done. She blushed and looked up at him shyly. “I’m sorry…” she stammered. “I was just being absent-
minded. I didn’t mean to.”O “This is the second time.” Theodore looked at Ariana with a teasing look in
his eyes.
Embarrassed, she threw the towel at him. “Wipe it yourself!”
She turned away so he couldn’t see her and bit her lip remorsefully. Her eyes were full of shame.
Dammit! What was wrong with her? Once was bad enough, but now she had done it a second time.
How could she face him again after this? He was probably laughing at her internally.
“Aren’t you curious why Jasper was so arrogant today?” Theodore asked casually.
Ariana turned back to look at him. “Why?” She sounded confused.
He smiled. “It’s because Darian formed an alliance with the other Anderson Group shareholders to get
rid of me while I was away. Today, the last shareholder agreed. I will officially be dismissed from the
Anderson Group at the next shareholders’ meeting.”
As Theodore spoke, he looked down at his pants and began wiping the stains off of them. The tone of
his voice was calm, and so was his expression.
But Ariana could see the cruelty behind his composure.
From an outside look, the Anderson family was an affluent and prestigious family without many flaws.
But, in reality, the family was rotten to the core. Many of its members have attempted to undermine
Theodore and seize power for themselves no matter what it took.
To put it bluntly, when Theodore became a disabled man, the most delighted by the news were likely
Darian and Jasper.
