Capítulo 170: The priority

Theodore was unmoved. His voice was firm, almost cold, as he replied, "Right now, Bella's safety is paramount. That crazy woman, Ivy, is out there. She could hurt Bella."

Skyler, still not fully grasping the shift in Theodore's priorities, tried to reason with him. 'But she is at the office, surrounded by her colleagues. Ivy wouldn't dare go there. If you're concerned, have Hugo arrange for a guard to protect her. There is no need to postpone the meeting for something so trivial."

Theodore's response was immediate and explosive. "Bella is not a trivial matter!" he roared, his eyes flashing with a dangerous intensity. The force of his words sent a shockwave through the room, and before Skyler could say another word, Theodore was already on his feet, storming out of the office with a determined stride.
