Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Theodore signed the documents without even reading through them and then put them aside. Seeing this, Maverick could not help but ask, “You’re doing well now. You have the most shares. Will you go back to Godfrey Group?”

“Xavier is managing the company well so I don’t need to go back. Besides, although my company is not that big in size, it’s doing well. I have plenty of time to spend with my wife and children.”

Maverick was thinking about teasing him. How old was Theodore? Why was he acting like an old, retired man?

If it went on like this, his fighting spirit would fade away.

“Don’t you plan on striving for more since you’re still young?”

“I’ve already enjoyed what I should enjoy and done the things I wanted to do. I don’t have many regrets in life. The life I’m living now is actually nice.” Theodore truly had no intention of pushing himself in his career. He had to return to Godfrey Group in the past because he had no other choice. It no longer was his ambition to do so.

Maverick picked up the glass on the table and took a sip. He did not say anything else.

When they left the place, they happened to meet Revainge and his business partners.

“Mr. Godfrey, long time no see.”

“Mr. Folks, same goes to you. It’s only been a few days since we last met, but you’ve gained quite a bit of weight.” Theodore looked at Revainge, who looked chubbier than before, and could not help but say so with a hint of sarcasm.

Revainge smiled but did not reply.

On the other hand, Maverick felt that he looked familiar. However, he could not recall where he had seen him before.

“Theodore, I’ll be leaving.” Maverick patted him on the shoulder and left.

Theodore looked at Revainge from the corner of his eyes. He noticed a hint of shock in his eyes and could not help but feel suspicious.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Are you here for contract discussions?”

“Mr. Godfrey, you don’t need to know this.”

“There’s no need for me to know, but isn’t it a little inappropriate for you to be staring at my friend like that?” Theodore’s voice was cold as he spoke.

Revainge realized that his actions were not right, but did not explain himself. He just turned around and talked to his business partners.

Before entering, he sent a message to his secretary asking them to investigate the relationship between Theodore and Maverick.

Previously, when he sold the shares of Godfrey Group, Theodore should not have known Maverick, but now…

When he thought of this, he realized something. The anger within him rose in an instant.

“Mr. Folks, are you alright?”

“I’m fine. I just thought of something. Sorry, where were we?” Revainge almost forgot that his business partners were around.

When Theodore left, he called Moses to ask who the people with Revainge were.

They did not look like they were from around the area.

The next morning, Revainge saw the report on the table. It clearly stated the relationship between Theodore and Maverick.

He was truly furious. He finally figured out why Maverick had come looking for him. It turned out that Theodore had planned all this out. That d*mned Theodore; why was he always messing up his plans?

“In that case, you can’t blame me for whatever happens next,” Revainge said fiercely. Then, he took out his mobile phone which had important documents of Godfrey Group.

He was confident that he could destroy them.

A few days later, some of Godfrey Group’s software were deciphered and leaked to the public.

Upon hearing this, Xavier was shocked and went directly to the technical department. “What’s going on?”

“We don’t know. Someone leaked the documents. We’re desperately trying to stop them, but we didn’t manage to stop all of them.”

Xavier looked at the data on the computer with a gloomy expression on his face.

The employees around him did not even dare to breathe. It would have been fine if it was a small matter. However, a data leak was a huge matter. No one could accept such a thing happening.

“Design a new system immediately and transfer all the documents.”

“Understood.”

After thinking about it for a long time, Xavier realized that other than himself and Theodore, Wilson was the only person who would have access to these documents.

Now that Wilson had run away, it was possible that he was the one behind this. D*mn it.

He had always said that everything he had done was for Godfrey Group. Now, he was the one who was trying to destroy it.

Xavier did not leave, but stayed to watch them complete the task. Although he was not an expert in IT, he had a basic knowledge of it.

When they were setting up the new core technology, someone launched another attack and several more files were leaked. They were all trying hard to track them.

Xavier’s face was as dark as charcoal. He knew what those files were. If he could not recover them, things would be much more complicated.

Upon receiving the news, Theodore rushed back and brought Maverick with him. In terms of IT, the latter could be considered a first-class expert.

“How many files were leaked?”

“Six, but we have recovered four of them. There are two left.”

Maverick glanced at them and shook his head. “I don’t understand what all of you are thinking. Why aren’t you fixing the bugs but setting up a new system?”

When he was saying this, his fingers danced away on the keyboard.

Theodore and Xavier stood behind him and watched.

He moved quickly and tracked all the leaked files. He even patched the bugs.

When everything was done, it was already dark.

“This system is dead. Hurry up and change it. Otherwise, it’ll be in vain,” Maverick said while stretching his arms.

Theodore looked at him with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Maverick knew that something was wrong when he saw the way Theodore was looking at him. “Why are you looking at me like this?”

“Since you’re here, leave after setting up the new system.”

Maverick immediately refused, “Why would I do that? Am I free labor? I’ve already done my part helping you out.”

“Well, that’s true. If anything happens to Godfrey Group after this, we can only call the police to arrest you, Mr. Laneigh. After all… You repaired this system.”

Hearing this, Maverick was furious. He had seen unreasonable people, but this was worse. He generously helped out, but now…

Xavier went straight to the point and said, “Let’s call the police.”

“I see. You two brothers are doing it on purpose,” Maverick said loudly. He was the proud son of the Laneigh family, but now, he was treated as free labor.

He had never seen such arrogant people before.

Theodore said casually, “I don’t trust anyone else.”

Maverick snorted. “You don’t have to say such sweet words to me. What’s the point of saying this now?”

“Are you going to do it or not?”

Maverick stared at the brothers, pulled the chair out, and started working on it.

When the other employees saw this scene, for the first time, they realized that these people were successful for a reason. They managed to threaten someone so easily. All they could do was to mourn for Maverick’s bad luck.

By nightfall, he had already taken care of everything. Theodore was not a monster after all. He ordered takeaway and all the food were Maverick’s favorite.

He ate the food and said, “I have to give it to you. You’re nice enough to remember what I like to eat.”
