Chapter 113
"There''s no use being envious. Some things are just meant to be." A gloating voice came from
beside me.
I turned my head to see Zedd''s sarcastic stare. I asked i n a deep tone, "Do you see me getting
envious, President Nichols?"
"Stop pretending, Wanda. Your jealousy is written all over your face. It’s true, Cindy is now Petra''s
daughter. Everything has changed now, whether it''s identity or wealth. She''s notparable to
ordinary people anymore. Only she is worthy of standing next to him."
Zedd glowed with pride as he looked at me with a provoking stare.
I took a ss of juice from the server''s hand, took a sip, and raised a brow at him. I said, "You think
that I''m not worthy to stand beside Theo, yet you''re worthy of standing beside Miss Reed?"
I gave a few looks at Cindy who was surrounded by the crowd and continued to say, "At least Theo
is still the father to the child inside of me. What about you? You were barely considered to be Miss
Reed''s little attendant back then. Who knows if you can even keep this identity in the future? You
must be feeling inferior and terrified deep in your heart. Is that why you alwayse to me to vent
out?"
"You...” Zedd did not think I would frustrate him. He was too angry to speak a word.
I ignored him and walked toward the hall with the ss in my hand.
"You stay right there!" Zedd stretched out his hand to pull me. The ss of juice I was holding
sshed on the cuffs of his suit due to the great force.
"Wanda! Did you do it on purpose?" Zedd''s eyes went red as his body shook with fury.
Looking at the orange juice that was spilled on his cuffs, I said helplessly, "You were the one who
pulled me. Why are you ming me?"
"I don''t care. You''re responsible for cleaning it." He stretched his dirty arms in front of me with an
aggressive look.
"You sure you want me to clean it now? You, President Nichols, are wearing stained clothes on
such an important asion. You''ll look even shabbier in front of Miss Reed," I raised my brows and
questioned.
Farther away, Cindy happened to look in our direction. She scanned past me coldly. Her eyes were
full of disdain. Next, her eyes fell on Zedd and she made a ''go'' gesture with her hand.
Zedd immediately took his jacket off and threw it on m y arms. He said as he walked, "Deal with it
now."
I looked at the jacket in my hands and shook my head somewhat helplessly.
The birthday party had officially begun. Petra went up on stage to give a speech of appreciation and
ceremoniously announced that she had found her daughter. She invited Grayson and Cindy up on
stage. While ovee with emotions, she spoke about the past and her experience in finding her
daughter.
After decades of wandering, their family of three was reunited. They were not the only ones crying
and hugging each other emotionally as the audience below the stage was also wiping their tears.
The whole scene was warm and touching.
At the same time, Petra expressed that she would transfer half of thepany''s shares to Cindy
and educate her on management as soon as possible.
The spotlightnded on Cindy in an instant as everyone''s attention was now on her. Not only did
she be a plutocrat in seconds, but more importantly, she also had Grayson’s blessings. It can
be said that she had squeezed her way to the top of the pyramid. She could do whatever she
wanted in both Salt City and Whaldorf City now.
I had no interest in what was taking ce. It was Zedd''s jacket in my hands that troubled me. I did
not know what to do with it.
"Pass this gift to President Whiteter." A faint and cold voice suddenly spoke.
I had no idea when Theo stood beside me. His face looked cold and his eyes were deep.
Despite my surprise, I took the box from him. I did not understand his intention and why he could
not give it himself. Why did he need me to pass it to her?

"This is President Nichols’ jacket. I identally spilled juice on it earlier. Please let him know I''ll
rece a new one for him.” I took the opportunity and stuffed the jacket into his hands.
Theo frowned but did not say anything. He turned around and tossed the branded jacket into the
trash.
At the front, Petra and Grayson had already introduced Cindy to their guests one by one. I looked a
t them and said faintly, "You should be standing beside Miss Reed right now.”
His already bad expression turned even gloomier and colder. He frowned and said, "Don’t you think
you owe me an exnation?"
I knew that he was talking about Tyler. In the past, I would have exined it to him in detail about
Tyler and me, but now, I did not even want to say a word. I just said to him, "There’s nothing to
exin. It’s as you saw.”
