Chapter 381


    After I hung up, Theo raised his brows and asked." You''re going to Salt City for a business trip?"


    I nodded my head.


    Theo did not say anything more. After dinner, we went back to our room. He said, "Looks like the


    employees in yourpany are fond of you."


    "They only say those things for show." I snickered." Most of them didn''t even acknowledge me when


    I took over the president''s position. Before I let my achievements speak for myself, they’ll continue


    to doubt me."


    If it had not been for me making a bet with the senior management, I might have lost the position of


    president in a couple of days.


    Hence, I had to make something of myself as soon as possible. Otherwise, Matthew would be put in


    a difficult spot.


    Theo raised his hand and touched my face. "I believe i n your capability.”


    I nodded my head faintly. I did not wear a happy expression on my face.


    I went to the bathroom to take a shower. Theo was sitting on the sofa reading some documents


    when I


    came out. He put down the folder he was holding." The child in Cindy''s womb is definitely not mine.


    You can rest assured about that."


    "Why are you suddenly talking about this?" I was slightly surprised.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    Theo was not someone who would exin himself over the same thing repeatedly. It was up to


    others to believe him or not. He would not be bothered to exin more.


    "I’m just afraid you don''t believe me." Theo stood up and walked toward me. "And you’d keep a


    distance from me."


    I pursed my lips. "I trust you."


    "Really?"


    I smiled and nodded my head. "I truly believe in you about this matter. But it''s hard to say about the


    others."


    Theo let out a small sigh. "Then are there any matters that you''re unsure of? Don''t hesitate to ask


    me. I’ll never lie to you."


    Never lie to me?


    My eyes turned cold, and I asked cidly, "Have you ever slept with Cindy?"


    "No," Theo replied quickly, but that was not the truth. H e was lying. 1


    I gave him a mocking smile. "Alright." "Don’t you believe me?" Theo grabbed my arm and asked


    anxiously.


    I did not want to get caught up with him in this matter. I smiled and said, "I do."


    I did not really care about it anymore. I had to admit that the death of my child changed me a lot.


    Now, I no longer walked down blind alleys. Doing that was exhausting. I was worn out, and I did not


    want myself t o get even wearier.


    There was unhappiness written all over Theo''s face." But you look like you don''t believe me."


    I curled the corners of my lips. "I''m going to suspect that you''re lying to me if you''re in such a hurry


    to make me believe you."


    Theo opened his mouth. He wanted to say something but eventually kept quiet. He looked at me,


    annoyed.


    It was time to sleep. I had to wake up early the next morning, so I had nothing in my mind. Soon, I


    was feeling sleepy.


    However, there was a restless man who did not n to let me sleep early.


    "I have to wake up early."


    "Come on... I''ll have to put in some effort to get you pregnant soon..."


    He realized that he had said the wrong thing.


    I lowered my eyes and said cidly, "Before I avenge my child, I''ll not get pregnant with another."


    "Leave this to me. I’ll not let our child die in vain. I’ll get even with those responsible," Theo said in a


    deep voice.


    I did not want to discuss this. I only nodded my head calmly.


    It did not matter if Theo was going to seek revenge or not. I would not count on him, let alone


    abandon my ns because of what he said.
