Chapter 809 Exactly What They Are Hiding From Her?

Chiara remained silent. Theodore was helpless. He sat beside her and hugged her. He comforted Chiara, “You’re the apple of my eye. Why would I even shout at you? I lost my composure and accidentally raised my voice. Besides, I was worried that you might say something else and people overheard it. Don’t you trust me?” Theodore looked at Chiara dotingly. There was some stubble on his face. He looked haggard. When Chiara turned around and stared at Theodore, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. In the past, Theodore was a neat person. Despite his portly figure, he looked like the typical wealthy man. However, at that moment, Theodore had clear eye bags under his eyes. He had stubble on his face even during working days. Chiara sensed something amiss. She turned to him and frowned. “Dad, are there any problems with the company?” Chiara stopped throwing a tantrum. The company became her priority. Theodore grinned. “Nothing could possibly happen to the company. Don’t overthink it. Everything is fine.” “Why are you looking so haggard, then? You’ve got eye bags and haven’t removed your stubble. In addition, you look like you’ve lost weight.” Lyla sighed resignedly. She thought. “All because we still find it hard to accept the fact that we’ve lost two billion dollars.” Lyla, too, had lost weight these days. Chiara did not notice that because Lyla was always with her. “Hahaha! Isn’t it good that I lost weight? Many women were attracted to my physique back then. After I gained weight, even simple walks exhausted me. Therefore, I reduced my food and alcohol consumption. It looks like the method works.” “Dad, stop switching the topic!” There was a hint of irritation from Chiara’s tone. “Something must have happened to the company! Exactly what is it? Tell me! Stop keeping me on tenterhooks. We can figure ways out together!” As Chiara was speaking, she turned to Lyla. “I noticed something was wrong with you too in the past two days. You look distracted. Exactly what you are hiding from me?!” Lyla frowned. “What can I hide from you?” Theodore let out a bark of laughter. He pointed at Chiara’s forehead. “Stop letting your imaginations go wild. If you want to find it out, go back to work. After all, you look like you’re in the pink. If you really think that the company is struggling, you can come and see.” Chiara frowned and stared at Theodore skeptically. Theodore would not allow Chiara to go to work if something had happened in the company. Still, Chiara sensed something was wrong with it. Nonetheless, she nodded. “Okay. I’ll go to work tomorrow.” Since Theodore and Lyla refused to tell her, Chiara believed she could not do anything about it even if she kept asking. It would be better for her to go find out about the company. Perhaps, she could discover some traces from it. Seeing that Chiara stopped asking, Theodore chuckled and stood up. He turned to Lyla. “Have you prepared dinner? Let’s eat.” Chiara frowned again. She wondered why Lyla needed to prepare dinner. Lyla nodded. “The dishes are ready. I’ll serve them.” Right after she spoke, she went to the kitchen. Chiara grimly sat on the couch. She thought. “Something is wrong!”
