Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1015

Chapter 1015: everything under control

Theo breathed out heavily as he placed the file on the desk. He shook his head, taking a small sip from his glass of whiskey before gazing down at the file again.

[Theo Miller, you forgot this. Rule number one: a single piece of paper or document can ruin your life. So, keep everything safe and don’t let others take hold of it, even if it’s family.]

Another deep exhale escaped Theo as he was reminded of Penny’s warning before they parted ways that day. Theo, after all, had forgotten a piece of paper, which was so reckless of him. He thought he missed it or just didn’t notice it falling out of excitement. Hence, he just thanked Penny again and left, telling her that he would keep that in mind.

"A piece of paper can ruin your life," he whispered to himself. "I know that."

Not just in business, but in many parts of life, a single paper could change someone’s life or situation. Even though many things now are digital, these hard copies were still just as important. It wasn’t like this piece of paper could ruin the deal they had with the Prime Group.

It was just a copy of their agreement.

Still, when he saw it earlier, he was suddenly reminded of Penny’s warning before they parted ways.

"Rule number one," he whispered. "Keep everything safe and don’t let others take hold of it."

It wasn’t like Theo was doubtful of Patricia. His sister wouldn’t just try to sabotage their family, right? No matter how maddening Patricia had been acting and how hateful she could be, there was no way she would deliberately cause more trouble for the family.

"Now that I think of it, Penelope is a lot more lenient than I thought she was. I thought she’d be more arrogant," he muttered to himself, reminded of their experience not long ago when they closed the deal with Penny. "Wow. I guess people like them... are really on a different level..."

Theo trailed off as he realized that Atlas had been acting that way even before everything. He was just like Zoren, unbothered and untouchable. Even when others tried to drag him down, Atlas never lowered his head and kept his back upright.

A bitter smile dominated Theo’s face. "I can’t believe I’ve been in competition with that guy for years. Even if he took me seriously, it’s not like I had a chance."

Bitterness swelled in his heart as he thought about how foolish he had been. Even when he started managing the company, he had always eyed Atlas and tried to compete with him. Theo was so busy competing with Atlas and looking in his direction that he unknowingly neglected himself. He only realized it when he started having problem after problem, eventually needing Atlas, only to be rejected over and over because of Keith Miller. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

"Never mind that, Theo Miller." Theo shook his head, slapping himself once to wake himself up. "There’s no need to dwell on the past. Right now, we’re being given a chance to do things right. You can’t screw this up."

Otherwise, the Miller family would be nothing, and their only wealth would be debt.

This was their saving grace — a miracle.

"Don’t think about this anymore," he told himself. "Penelope Bennet already promised that she would guide the Miller Company, and with her behind the scenes... it’s going to be different."
