On the other end, Theodore raised his hand, and the people around him immediately quieted down.Â
Theodore stroked the woman in his arms and said, “You want to work with me?”Â
“Yes, I want to work with you-against Damian!”Â
Theodore listened carefully to the voice on the phone, his expression growing serious.Â
He patted the woman in his arms, signaling her to leave, and the others in the private room, seeing his gesture, also quietly exited.Â
The luxurious private room fell silent in an instant.Â
Theodore swirled the glass in his hand, his eyes fixed on the amber liquid inside.Â
His voice carried a hint of careless mockery.Â
“Damian is with you, isn’t he? What now? Is he hiding behind a woman?”Â
Claudine guessed that Theodore would not easily believe her.Â
After all, in the eyes of these people, she, Claudine, had always been Damian’s sycophant. How could she possibly team up with Theodore to go against Damian?Â
“Tomorrow at noon, I’ll be waiting for you at Violette Café!”Â
“Come or not, it’s up to you!”Â
With that, Claudine hung up the phone.Â
She walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window.Â
This was the most luxurious area in Bronzevale. Standing here, she could see the majestic river in the distance, as well as the dazzling city lights and the bustling traffic below.Â
She stared out the window, her eyes cold and clear.Â
Damian refused to let her go.Â
Then let them keep entangling like this…Â
Damian used his power to suppress her, so naturally, she could use his own weapons against him.Â
She had loved Damian for so many years, which meant she understood him better than anyone.Â
She knew exactly where to strike to hurt Damian the most.Â

Theodore thought about it all night, unable to figure out whether Claudine’s call was genuine or not.Â
He had read all the news online.Â
Could Claudine really have turned her love into hatred and decided to go against Damian?Â
When that woman first married into the family, her heart and eyes were full of Damian. Damian had been cold to her for so many years-could she really have changed so suddenly?Â
But Theodore didn’t want to let this opportunity slip by.Â
Claudine loved Damian so much; if she found out about Damian and Audrey’s past, would she still be willing to be Damian’s obedient wife?Â
Violette Café.Â
Theodore arrived early in the morning.Â
He waited in the private room for a long time, drinking so much coffee he was almost full.Â
Just as he was about to leave, thinking he’d been played, the door to the room finally opened.Â
Claudine walked in wearing a white coat, her face so beautiful it was impossible to look away.Â
Theodore whistled at Claudine..Â
He was always a scoundrel, and ever since he first laid eyes on Claudine, he’d had this idea.Â
He just never had the guts to act on it.Â
Claudine frowned.Â
She sat down across from Theodore.Â
“If you keep acting like a scoundrel, there’s nothing for us to talk about!”Â
Theodore raised both hands, striking a careless pose of surrender.Â
“Come on!”Â
“Sister-in-law, I’ve been waiting for you for so long.Â
“Of course, for a beauty like you, I’d wait as long as it takes.Â
But next time we meet, let’s not pick such a boring place.Â
My clubs are much more interesting and discreet.Â
And Damian would never find us!”Â
As soon as he finished speaking, Claudine didn’t hesitate-she got up to leave.Â

“Don’t go!”Â
Seeing this, Theodore immediately dropped his inappropriate attitude.Â
“Can’t even joke around!Â
No wonder you haven’t won over Damian after all these years!”Â
Claudine shot him a sharp look, and Theodore instantly shut up.Â
He picked up the coffee pot from the heater and filled Claudine’s cup with coffee.Â
“My mistake, let’s use coffee instead of wine!”Â
Claudine sat down again.Â
Theodore pushed the coffee cup forward.Â
“Drink this coffee, and we’ll officially be allies!”Â
He picked up his own coffee cup, waiting for Claudine.Â
Claudine sat down again, and the coffee cups clinked together with a crisp sound.Â
Theodore raised his eyebrows and set down his cup.Â
“Now that we’re allies, to show my sincerity, let me tell you just how obsessed Damian was with Audrey!”Â
He didn’t care whether Claudine was interested or not; he just started talking.Â
“My uncle fell out with him back then! Otherwise, why do you think my uncle suddenly dragged me into the compa- ny?”Â
Theodore leaned back with his hands behind his head, one leg crossed, looking as lazy as ever.Â
“It was because Damian fell out with the family over Audrey!Â
My uncle thought he was being disobedient, so he called me back, wanting Damian to see the consequences of defi-Â
ance!Â
“Unfortunately, I wasn’t up to the task-I couldn’t beat Damian!”Â
