Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1228

Theda sneered in response.

Everything she had done for the Buchan family had earned them enough money to last generations, but now, they were biting the hand that fed them.

Robert stood up, and the sight of him made everyone visibly afraid.

Theda noticed his stern expression and grabbed his arm. "Sit down."

Robert frowned, unwilling to back down. These people had no right to treat Theda this way.

"I said, sit down," Theda repeated, stressing her tone.

Robert finally withdrew his murderous gaze.

Joanne scoffed, "Seriously, Theda, you should find a normal secretary. We don't know where you picked him up, but he's a time bomb. You don't want him to bring trouble to our family."

"That's my business. Stay out of it," Theda countered. "As for the lost money, I will figure out a way to make it up. You don't need to worry. Now you can leave. My dogs don't like outsiders here."

Joanne was annoyed, but since Theda promised to pay back the money, she relented a bit.

"If you're going to pay us back, give us a deadline. We can't wait forever."

"When do you want the money?"

"I don't." Theda shook her head.

She had agreed only to avoid losing her position.

"To be honest, I'm at the end of my rope," she sighed. "But I don't think I'm finished yet. Someone will contact me within three days."

Robert was skeptical. "Who would help you at a moment like this?"

Those people were all opportunists. When Theda was in power, they all came to flatter her. When she was down, none of them would offer a helping hand.

Theda replied, "Debra, maybe."
