?Chapter 571:


    “You—” Theo’s voice crackled with rage. He had harbored a sliver of hope that Wesley, for once, might be setting aside old grudges. Yet, here Wesley was, targeting him at work deliberately.


    “The problems with these projects didn’t just arise today,” Theo retorted, his voice rising in protest.


    “And that makes them non-issues?” Wesley shot back, his tone slicing through the air like ice.


    Stunned into silence, Theo had to admit that his projects weren’t wless. However, the issues were minor. Was airing them out in this packed meeting really necessary? No doubt about it, Wesley was targeting him on purpose.


    Theo clenched his jaw, searching for words to defend himself, but they eluded him. “What do you want from me? Fine, I’ll have my team resolve them,” he muttered, frustration etched across his face.


    Wesley, unmoved, flicked the project files across the conference table with a disinterested motion. “These projects are all being terminated.”


    Theo’s confusion quickly turned to dismay. “Terminated? What am I supposed to do now?”


    Wesley’s voice was dismissive as he delivered the final blow. “The Harper Group’s branch in Tauledo requires a manager.”


    Theo’s eyes bulged in disbelief as he leapt from his seat. “You’re sending me to Tauledo?”


    the and Tauledo were worlds apart—two thousand kilometers between them.


    Theo cursed inwardly. Wesley had lost his mind. He actually wanted to dump him in the middle of nowhere.


    Wesley crossed his arms, his features set in an imcable mask. “If you don’t want to go, you’re free to resign,” he dered coldly.


    Fury surged through Theo, his breathing erratic and heart pounding as he fixed a fiery re on Wesley.


    Resigning would hand the reins of the Harper Group to Wesley—a scenario Theo couldn’t ept. The idea churned in his stomach. Resignation had never been an option. Not even for a second. Yet, the alternative seemed no better. Tauledo, a remote speckpared to the bustling vibrancy of the, felt like exile. Wesley was nothing but a cold-blooded bastard.


    The silence stretched thick and tense between them, until Theo challenged Wesley. “Our dad would never consent to moving me to Tauledo.”

    A sneer curled Wesley’s lips. Theo’s stupidity was on another level—it was downrightughable. It had been a while since Lawrence was kicked out of the Harper Group. Nobody cared whether he agreed or not.


    Realization dawned on Theo’s face—a hard, cold p of truth. The only person he could rely on now was Joseph.


    With a tight-lipped frown, Joseph’s eyes burned with fury. Theo had been working under him since joining thepany, and Wesley’s decision to send Theo to the Tauledo branch felt like a direct affront.


    Clearing his throat softly, Joseph measured his words carefully. “Theo doesn’t have the experience for this. Sending him to Tauledo would be a disaster.”


    Wesley raised an eyebrow challengingly. “If experience is what’s needed, perhaps you should go.”


    Joseph opened his mouth to respond, but no words came out.


    For years, Joseph had meticulously crafted his schemes to ascend as the patriarch of the Spencer family. There was no way he would go to Tauledo.
