Chapter 357
Ophelia looked toward the voice’s source and saw Theo at the meeting room door, dressed in a sharp gray plaid suit.
Eight bodyguards followed closely behind him.
Theo stepped into the meeting room imposingly. Ophelia had rarely seen him like that.
Seeing Theo, Zayn immediately straightened up in his chair.

His previously relaxed demeanor shifted instantly, and he furrowed his brow.
He thought, ‘What’s Mr. Carnegie doing here?‘
Theo walked up to Ophelia, who stood up from her seat and said, “Theo.”
Theo turned his head, smiled at Ophelia, and then turned to look at everyone else in the meeting room.
He thought, ‘I’ll remember every one of them. How dare they gang up on my god–granddaughter? Humph!‘
“Mr. Carnegie, does this have anything to do with you?” Francis, who had been interrupted earlier, spoke in a hostile tone.
“You bullied my god–granddaughter. How can it have nothing to do with me?” Theo snorted coldly, showing no respect to
anyone.
Theo said, “Just some penalty. The only thing our Carnegie family doesn’t lack is money. I’ll give my god–granddaughter as much as she wants. Would that still be considered a major loss to Sinclair Group?”
Theo tilted his head and looked at those shareholders with smugness on his face.
Everyone knew that in Dellanex, Sinclair Group was the strongest, and the Carnegie family was the wealthiest.
The entire meeting room fell into silence.
Everyone exchanged glances.
With a mocking smile on his face, Francis didn’t take Theo seriously at all. He said, “Mr. Carnegie, you might not know how much it is.”
Even though the Carnegie family was wealthy, the penalty was such a huge amount that they didn’t believe that Theo would fill this gap for his god–granddaughter.
Other people said, “Exactly, Mr. Carnegie. You shouldn’t agree too quickly. Besides the penalty, there’s also the loss she has caused to the company, and it’s not a small amount.”
They thought, ‘If he’s trying to win over Kenneth through this young girl, that’s really unnecessary. With Kenneth disappearing for over two months, there have been rumors in the business world. Nobody’s naive. We’ll know the situation.
‘It’s uncertain who will take over Sinclair Group in the future, Ist this act too risky?
Ophelia didn’t expect Theo to back her up in this way. She felt really warm. But still, she couldn’t get Theo involved.
“About this…” Ophelia had just begun when Theo waved his hand at her. His gaze was as kind and gentle as ever.
Theo said, “I’ve heard about it before I came. It’s only 450 million. Our Carnegie family can afford it
Theo’s voice was deep and powerful. He emphasized the words our Carnegie family,

Ophelia looked at the elderly man standing in front of her. Although his back was slightly hunched, he still looked dignified and powerful.
She thought, ‘So this is what it’s like to have the support of family
Theo smiled and signaled to his assistant behind him to pass over a check with an amount well over 450 million.
Francis glanced at the amount on the check and then his expression darkened. The words he was going to say got stuck in his throat.
He didn’t know what to say.
Hardy, sitting in the wheelchair, also leaned forward to see the amount on the check.
He thought, ‘What should we do now? Our goal is to bring this young girl down from her position, but if that’s the case, then we won’t have any reason to do so.‘
While everyone was focused on the amount, Hardy secretly took a glance at Zayn.
Zayn gritted his teeth and then suddenly smiled.
He said, “Come on, Mr. Carnegie. How can we let you pay the money?” He immediately stood up, walked forward, and spoke respectfully as if he met a very esteemed elder.
Theo said, “Hey, is that you, Zayn? I didn’t see you when I came in! What are you doing here?”
It was the first time Ophelia saw Theo’s sly and cunning look. He had already noticed Zayn but pretended he had just seen him.
Ophelia thought, ‘What a good actor.‘
Zayn smacked his forehead and said, “What was I thinking? I’ve forgotten about this relationship. Ms. Spencer–no, dear Ophelia. I was wrong. Please don’t take offense.
“Since Mr. Carnegie has stepped in, let’s wait for a few days more Wait until… Mr. Sinclair comes back to handle it.”
In that last sentence, Zayn’s tone became more pronounced.
Ophelia nodded in response with a fake smile.
The people present were all smart and understood what was happening at once. They all stood up from their chairs. They said, “Then we’ll leave first. Mr. Carnegie. Please come and visit my father when you have time.”
“Sure,” Theo agreed and watched these people leave.
Theo thought, ‘There’s nothing money can’t solve in this world, and if need be, I’ll go to Michael and tell him all the shady things Zayn has done over the years.
Zayn said goodbye to Theo with a cheerful smile, but as soon as he turned around, his expression turned sullen. He felt so annoyed and frustrated.
He thought, ‘Damn it! Even the Carnegie family is against me as well! Ophelia is really something”
Zayn left with his people, leaving only a few executives in the meeting room.
Mark looked at them and said seriously, “The loss hasn’t happened yet. Does anyone have anything else to say?”
Hardy covered his wound and tried to dodge the topic, “Ouch…I need to get back to the hospital.

Francis exhaled, raised an eyebrow and said, “I hope… Ms. Spencer will always be so lucky.”

Ophelia said, “Thanks for the good words, Mr. Evan. I hope you can stay lucky as well.” Ophelia also raised an eyebrow as Francis did, but her smile was far brighter.
In the end, the remaining executives left the meeting room with sullen expressions.
Before they walked out, Mark reminded them, “Don’t forget to come back for the meeting tomorrow.”
Everyone had left. Only Ophelia and Theo were left in the room
Today’s matter might not have been solved so smoothly without Theo.
Ophelia said, “Thank you, Theo.”
“Don’t say that,” Theo said with a smile. “But those cunning brats won’t let you go that easily.”
Theo sighed and glanced around.
Ophelia understood that he probably had something to discuss with her, and this wasn’t the right place.
She said, “Theo, let me walk you downstairs.”
Theo said, “Okay.”
