Chapter 273
The Hill Group.
When Nathan returned to work at the Hill Group after many years, he found that the Hill Group had changed
significantly.
The once bustling and lively skyscrapers are now extremely deserted.
After a large number of employees were laid off, the remaining employees were all elderly, weak, sick, and
disabled, reluctant to let go of this job. Instantly, the company beclifeless.
And because many core departments of the Hill Group have been acquired by Maplecrest Enterprises, only one
or two responsible individuals are now left in those departments to handle the handover work.
The bustling and prosperous Hill Group was like a mirage, already becoming a historical bubble.
Nathan's return made sloyal old employees of the company very happy. They gathered around Nathan and
greeted him, saying, “Mr. Nathan, you have finally cback.”
“We believed in you, and with you at the Hill Group, we were certain that you would make a comeback. It
wouldn't take long for you to regain your former glory.”
Nathan asked, “Where is the list of companies that acquired the Hill Group?”

Chapter 273
The manager of the Public Relations Department of the Hill Group returned to him and said, “Mr. Nanthan, there
are very few domestic companies with the capability to acquire the Hill Group. Only one foreign company,
Maplecrest Enterprises, is willing to acquire the Hill Group. However, they have significantly lowered the price.”
“Did you sign the contract?” Nathan asked.
“When Mr. Alaric was in the company, he was reluctant to see the Hill Group being dissolved, so he reorganized
the loss- making departments of the Hill Group. The acquisition was also divided into several steps, and this last
acquisition only involved selling a portion of the departments related to the smart field.”
Nathan's face showed reluctance as he said, “The field of artificial intelligence?”
Who doesn’t know that the smart industry has been the hottest industry in recent years? If the Hill Group sold off
its smart industry, it would suddenly go back to the twhen it was engaged in traditional industries. As a
result, the Hill Group's status in the industry would sharply decline.
“Yes. Mr. Nanthan, the second acquisition signing ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow.”
Nathan frowned, “When?”
“Ten o'clock in the morning.”

“Does the president of Maplecrest have his contact information? | want to cancel this acquisition plan.”
“There was.”

“Turn back and give it to me.”
After Nathan got Thorne’s phone number, he didn’t hesitate for a minute and immediately dialed the number.
“Hello. Is this Mr. Brown?”
“It was me.”
Theo on the other side heard the familiar voice and was quite surprised.
“Mr. Brown, | am the CEO of the Hill Group. Regarding your company’s plan to acquire my company, | would like
to request stto consider it.”
Theo smirked, “Mr. Nanthan wouldn't think that the Hill Group had any chance of coming back to life, would he?”
Nathan said, “So, Mr. Brown, would you be willing to doa favor and sellone?”
“Do you want to collaborate with Maplecrest to alleviate the crisis of the Hill Group, so that you don’t have to sell
the Hill Group?”
Nathan said, “Dealing with intelligent people is worry-free. Mr. Brown, rest assured, the profit will be split as 60%
for you and 40% for me.”

In other industries, a 40-60 profit split is already a very generous offer. However, Theo is clearly not satisfied.
“Mr. Nanthan, forget it then. | am still more interested in acquiring the Hill Group.”
Chapter 273
Nathan said, “Mr. Brown, why did you insist on acquiring the Hill Group? You could have kept the Hill Group and
had them work for you for free, earning a substantial annual dividend. Isn't that better?”
Theo laughed and said, “Acquiring the Hill Group, the Hill Group is mine. If | don’t acquire the Hill Group, am | just
waiting for the day Mr. Nanthan becomes successful and kicksout?”
Nathan gritted his teeth and said, “Profit split seventy-thirty, how about that?”
Theo said, “Mr. Nanthan, | didn’t lack money.”
Nathan fell silent for a moment and said, “How much do you want?”
Theo said, “September first. How is it?”
The sound of Nathan crushing a water cup cfrom the other side.
“Mr. Brown ate meat, so he should at least give us a sip of soup, right?”
Theo said, “If Mr. Nanthan does not agree, let's proceed with the acquisition plan.”
After saying that, Theo decisively hung up the phone.
Nathan was lost in thought: He always felt Mr. Brown's voice was very familiar.
The next day.
Theo slept until he woke up naturally.
Chapter 271
After getting up, | discovered that Thea had already taken off her plain peasant clothes. She put on a fresh and
elegant emerald green cheongsam. Her curly hair was casually scattered, adorned with a hairpin, and her bangs
were cut short. The whole person looked pure, beautiful, and graceful.
“Why are you dressed so beautifully today?” Theo walked over and stared at Thea in a daze.
Thea smiled coquettishly and said, “Since | returned to the Capital, | must pick up my career again.”
Theo said, “Sister, you were not in good health, and actually, you did not need to work so hard. | could have
taken care of you for a lifetime.”
Thea looked back at him and said, “Take care of me? It's expensive. I'm afraid you can’t afford it.”
Theo smiled and said, “Then | will try harder. | will earn more money for you.”
Thea grabbed his tie and said, “I wanted a lot of money, and even more love.”
Theo suddenly domineeringly pulled her into his arms and said, “That's perfect. | have saved a lifetof love
and money, and | was just worried about not having a place to spend it. Sister, do you want it?”
Thea blushed and her heart raced as he made her feel that way. She pushed him away and ran.
“I... | made an appointment with a friend. I'll go ahead,”
Chapter 270
Theo saw her blushing face and smiled particularly coquettishly.
“Is your skin so thin?”
Theo caught up and said, “Thea, | drove to give you a ride.”

Thea didn’t have a car, so she could only hitch a ride with Theo.
“Okay.”
Drake quickly drove the car out of the basement.
Without hesitation, Thea opened the car door and sat in the back seat.
Seeing Frank in the passenger seat, Thea was dumbfounded. Doesn't Theo have to sit in the back as well?
Just as | thought about this, the car window suddenly opened and Theo got in. The narrow space instantly
beccrowded.
Thea shifted to the side, and Theo moved closer to her. Then, suddenly, he grabbed her hand, his slender fingers
forcefully intertwining with hers, tightly clasping together.
“Where are you going?” he asked softly.
Thea stared at him resentfully, her gaze then falling onto the hands intertwined with each other.
She silently told him that it was not appropriate.
Theo pretended not to see. He laughed and said, “I'm going to the Hill Group. Will you accompany me? | want
you to see with your own eyes how he fell into the depths of hell step by step.”
Chapter
If it were years before, Thea would definitely have enjoyed Nathan's tragic ending. But now, she is very relieved.
She said lightly, “I don’t want to know how he is doing.”
Theo was surprised, but even more delighted. A handssmile slowly spread across his face.
“Alright.” He felt so happy that he was bubbling with joy inside.
He finally waited for the day when Thea completely forgot about Nathan.
However, he was curious about how Thea, who had been
stubborn for two lifetimes, suddenly becwilling to let go of her grievances with her and Nathan.
“Why did you suddenly let go of him?” he couldn't help but ask.
Thea looked down. “Perhaps someone gavea candy, suppressing the bitterness he gave me.”
“Who is it?” Theo asked, pretending not to know.
His voice was so sweet that it beccloying.
Thea looked at him and smiled shyly.
Theo suddenly raised his hands, with his ten fingers intertwined, and gently kissed the back of her hand.
