?Chapter 1060:


    A faint, knowing smile appeared on Wesley’s lips as he answered, “Earle.”


    Felix was left momentarily speechless. “That’s right. You got it! It’s him. Earle wired the funds to Theo via the Yoswye ount. That’s our proof—Theo is definitely in cahoots with Joseph.”


    Why did Earle bankroll Theo, who’d already been kicked out of the and was utterly ipetent? The only logical answer was that the money was never meant…


    For Theo. The money was meant for Joseph. He’d simply used Theo as a go-between, with the funds passing quietly through Theo’s ount to keep everything under the radar.


    Everyone around the Spencer family knew how much Joseph doted on Theo. Now, the pieces all fell into ce. Joseph had taken Earle’s money and struck a deal with him to plot against Wesley.


    A chill settled in Wesley’s eyes, and his tone turned steely. “Have Arion bring Theo back from Tauledo.” There were loose ends that needed tying up.


    Theo had just taken a sip of his drink when everything went ck. Someone threw a sack over his head and knocked him out cold. By the time he regained consciousness, he had already been transported back to the.


    Theo found himself strapped to a chair in a dimly lit room. After a few futile attempts to struggle free, he yelled out, “Do you have any clue who you’re dealing with? I’m from the Spencer family! Touch me, and my uncle, Joseph Spencer, will destroy you! Let me go right now! Where is everyone? Come out and face me! If I get out of here, my uncle will make sure none of you get away with this!”


    His furious rant kept going until the door creaked open. A tall figure walked in, and when the light hit the figure’s face, Theo was taken aback. “Wesley?”


    Arion dragged a heavy mahogany chair over, and Wesley sat in it leisurely. Snapping out of his daze, Theoshed out. “Are you insane, Wesley? Why the hell did you have me tied up? You think I won’t tell Grandpa what you’re doing? The moment he hears you’ve discreetly kidnapped me, your CEO position is gone!”


    Wesley’s lips curled into a slow, mocking grin. “That’s cute. But who told you you’d be walking out of here alive?”


    Theo’s bravado cracked. “W-what are you saying?” His voice trembled. “Don’t do anything crazy. My parents will definitely notice my absence. And if you kill me, you’re finished. Dad will make you pay for…”

    “Gee,” Wesley sneered. What could that pathetic and useless Lawrence possibly do to him?


    Wesley raised his hand wordlessly, and Arion quickly ced a dagger into his palm. Step by step, Wesley approached Theo and pressed the cold steel to his throat. The chill of the de cut straight through Theo’s nerves, draining every bit of color from his face.


    That sharp edge sitting against his skin was all it took to shatter Theo’s tough act. He started shaking, eyes wide with fear. “W-why are you doing this to me? I swear I haven’t crossed any lines in Tauledo! I didn’t offend you. I didn’t even get in your way!”


    Wesley didn’t answer. He simply pressed the de harder against Theo’s neck, just enough to break the skin.


    The moment Theo felt the sting and saw blood trickling down, his entire body locked up in terror. That was when it finally hit him that Wesley wasn’t bluffing. Leaning in, Wesley brought the dagger to Theo’s eye, his voice low and t as he said, “You im you haven’t done anything. So tell me, where did all that money in your ounte from?”


    Whateverposure Theo had left vanished. Desperate to survive, he broke. “Joseph wired it to me! He told me to keep my mouth shut. I didn’t ask questions. I don’t know anything else, I swear. Just don’t kill me!”
