Chapter 465
I scoffed lightly. "Please don''t say such things, Miss Reed. I''ve just finished eating."
The expression on Cindy''s face changed abruptly.
Quinn did not seem to have noticed the dark, swirling tide of emotions between us and smiled as
she said to me, "Wanda, sit down and try the flower tea I brewed. I''m sure you’ll like it."
Iughed coldly and sat down on the couch as I said," Well then, I''d better taste it and see if the
flower tea you make is as indescribable as you are, Quinn."
Quinn seemed to not understand the underlying mockery in my words and maintained an elegant
smile on her face as she said, "I''m sure you won''t be disappointed."
I picked up the teacup and took a sip from it beforementing calmly, “Sure enough, it''s
indescribable."
If she truly wanted me to try the tea she brewed, then I was indeed disappointed. As I raised my
wrist to check the time on my watch, I said quietly, "I have a video meeting to attend. You two enjoy
your chat."

As I spoke, I stood up to leave.
"Theowy is back," Cindy said happily as she stood and looked toward the vi''s entrance.
Visible unhappiness spread across Theo''s face when h e walked into the vi and saw Cindy. After
taking off his jacket and handing it to Miss Woods, he walked over and asked, "Have you had
dinner?"
I nodded. "Have you eaten?”
Theo smiled as he shook his head. "I haven''t eaten because I’m not hungry. The driver told me that
you went out today. Where did you go?"
"I went to the mall to shop." I could not tell him that I had gone to meet Heidi because Cindy was
here.
He had been speaking to me ever since he walked in through the front door while pretending he
had not seen Cindy. Naturally, she did not like that and could not help but say, "Theowy, Quinn and I
have not had dinner yet either. Why don’t we have dinner together?"
Theo turned to her and said stiffly, "The food served in my home is nothingpared to the food
served in Petra’s house. I think you’d better go home and eat. Otherwise, Petra will be angry if you
didn’t have a good meal, Miss Reed."
Cindy''s face paled visibly at that obvious request to leave.
"Theowy, you..." 1
She had no idea what to say in response. Tears welled up in her eyes, which made her seem pitiful.
I spoke from experience when I said she was an expert at pretending to be pitiful.
Quinn ced an arm across Cindy''s shoulder and said disgruntledly to Theo, "What are you talking
about? I asked Cindy toe over so she could apany m e. We can''t send her back without
even serving her dinner, can we? Besides, it''s already dark out, and the snow from the past two
days has made the roads slippery and unsafe. Why don''t we let Cindy stay the night?”
Theo frowned. An aggravated expression appeared on his face as he said, "I''ll get the driver to
bring her home. He’ll be careful."
"Theo, how can you be so immature?” Quinn was starting to be upset. "It''s not as if we don''t
have enough rooms in the house. Why can''t you let Cindy spend a night here?”
Cindy grabbed her arm and said in a quivering voice," Quinn, stop. I don''t want you to fight with
Theowy because of me.”
She paused before turning to Theo and saying, "Quinn has not been in a good moodtely because
she has nowhere to vent her frustrations. That’s why she called me over to apany her. I''ll leave
after spending the night with her. But I can also leave right now if that won''t work for you, Theowy."
Nowhere to vent her frustrations? Quinn did not talk about her problems to her cousin-inw, but
she was willing to unload her worries onto an outsider. Would that not mean she was hinting that I
was a problematic cousin-inw?
Not only did she manage to mock me, but she also portrayed herself as an understanding person.
Cindy’s b*tchy side wasing on full force just like before. She was certainly cured of her mental
illness.
