Chapter 698 - Interpretation

They were indeed curious about what Agata had to say. No matter what, Agata's relationship with Theo was good. They wondered if she did something that pissed Theo off.

"I am not very sure about what he is planning to do right now because he doesn't tell me anything. However, I do have four things that I want to tell you." Agata's expression became serious.

"Back when he heard about the family's situation, he asked me what I wanted to do with the Safulli Group." Agata paused, creating suspense in the air.

Ghita didn't have patience, so she asked, "So, what did you tell him? You're not going to say that it's better for our company to be destroyed, right?"

"Of course not. I told him that we'll be fine as long as we're not bullied anymore." She shook her head.

"…" Stefano's eyebrows twitched as he asked, "I know that it means you want him to protect the company theoretically speaking… but I believe it has another meaning that is completely the opposite of what you want…

"If the company is gone, doesn't this mean we won't be bullied anymore?" Stefano asked with a troubled expression, wondering if this was the truth.

"It shouldn't be the case. Are you talking about the family or the company?" Her mother, Rina, asked.

"Family."

"In that case, it shouldn't be that way. Although destroying the family means there won't be anything to be bullied anymore, Theo shouldn't be someone like that unless you have pissed him off…" Rina squinted her eyes.

"Our relationship is good. I have made several mistakes, but our relationship keeps progressing in a good direction." Agata shook her head.

"For now, let's stop at that. Continue to the next point." Boris stopped them and asked Agata.

"Okay. Aside from the fact that he asked me that question…" Agata said, "He didn't tell me anything and just left me a box for Sir Leonardo."

"Huh? For what? What's the content of that box?" Boris frowned.

"I don't know. I was not allowed to see it, and when Sir Leonardo opened it, he was stunned for a few minutes before laughing uncontrollably. It was then he gave me a few pieces of advice.

"First of all, he asked me whether he contacted someone from here. I told him it was my father and that was the breaking point. He told me that everything is going to be alright."

When she mentioned it, everyone stared at Boris, wondering what they were talking about.

"I can't tell you anything… At the same time, it's not like he's giving me his plan." Boris raised his shoulders before taking out his Skylink, showing the call that only lasted for a minute. "Here is the call. It lasted for a minute… Do you think he could explain his complex plan in a minute? And also, I am forbidden to tell the content to anyone."

"This… Can't you just say it? I don't know whether we should feel assured or not with this…"

"That's right. Why does he become our enemy if he wants to help us? If the contract is real, then we will be destroyed."

"I am not sure." Boris shook his head helplessly.

"Can you call him?" Stefano asked Agata.

"No. I can't reach him." Agata shook her head in disappointment. "However, Sir Leonardo told me that he is now the bad guy. If we don't do anything, he will surely destroy the company into pieces.

"And I should follow my father's orders to preserve the company because he won't survive if he fights Theo alone."

"Oh, Sir Leonardo told you that? I don't know whether I should feel happy or sad. On the one hand, he praised my soon to be son-in-law. On the other hand, my pride hurts." Boris scratched the back of his head.

Rina suddenly appeared behind him and pinched his ears. "Can you be more serious? The son-in-law thing is just your imagination. Nothing is set for now, especially with this situation."

"Sowwy…" Boris apologized as he tried to push her hands. After that, he said, "Anyway, I have made a few calls to contain the damage. And the most important thing will be those three investors. The Safulli Group might want to attack them first."

"Don't worry. Leave them to us." Efrem waved his hand, assuring him.

"Then, Sir Leonardo also said, Theo and I will be enemies from now on. Don't ever think about being friends… and that Pata Corporation is nothing but a stepping stone." Agata suddenly fell silent as if she understood something.

"Dear?" Rina and Boris furrowed their eyebrows.

"I think we indeed need to be Theo's enemies." Agata looked at them with a serious expression. "What he wants is to create a commotion within our family and use the relationship between him and me to amplify that effect.

"However, we can't afford to tell them that everything is going to be alright. Instead, we're going to treat them like we know nothing about this and keep fighting him.

"He must have predicted that Dad will send our experts to help others. In other words, we need to make everyone think that we're facing Theo as the enemy. Theo might be able to get the Safulli Group's trust because of this.

"And the reason why Sir Leonardo told me this must be because he believes I will decipher his words and tell you this.

"I am afraid we have been played by Theo this whole time and these are the clues that he leaves behind for me, who has been learning from him the longest.

"He knows that I will play accordingly. This is actually the third point I want to say today. Theo has predicted that I will go to the Church for help and they will reject me.

"I am afraid if we don't treat him as enemies, the plan will collapse and our company will indeed be destroyed into pieces." Agata looked at Boris and said, "Dad… I think we need to make a countermeasure right now."

Boris had a defeated expression on the outside but a smile on the inside.. 'This guy is indeed scary.'
