The one possible solution lay in SJ Entertainment.

The company held significant funds, prompting Darian to contemplate embezzling from them.

However, moving such a substantial amount of funds presented its own set of challenges.

Adrian, now the chairman of SJ Entertainment, was a hands-off person who showed little interest in the day-to-day operations of the business. He rarely set foot in the company, leaving most of the high-level positions in the hands of Darian's trusted associates.

Theodore stood as the sole obstacle in his path.

Darian had come up with plans to get rid of Theodore, even considering the drastic measure of kidnapping to exert pressure on him.

With Theodore already stripped of his shares and Darian free from the constraints of his ex-wife's will, everything seemed to align perfectly for Darian.

Once Theodore was out of the picture, all would be well.

As Darian meticulously strategized his next move, Theodore unexpectedly passed away during this critical time.

Confusion washed over Jasper as he asked, “Theodore is dead, why does your disquiet persist?"

Darian hid his true concerns from Jasper, but his brow furrowed as he replied, “I just have this nagging feeling that I cannot get off my mind."

“What cause is there for such unease?" Jasper triumphantly exclaimed, “We have seen that face for countless years. Could it truly be a charade? Besides, we conducted a covert DNA confirmation, and the guy resting there is indeed Theodore."

Jasper's words succeeded in alleviating some of Darian's worries, yet he remained only partially reassured.

Slipping his arm casually around Darian's shoulder, Jasper asserted, “Father, relax! Ariana's reaction just moments ago serves as the most compelling evidence, does it not?"

Darian contemplated Ariana's fainting spell, a result of overwhelming grief, and failed to discern any flaws in Jasper's reasoning.

Contemplating Theodore's usual demeanor toward Ariana, Darian finally succumbed to the belief that Theodore's demise could not be a sham, relinquishing his worries.

With all concerns dispelled, Darian wore a serene smile and declared, “Then have the finance department prepare and set our plans in motion.”

“Right away Jasper's brow slightly furrowed, revealing a hint of hesitation.
