Chapter 487


    Seeing the gentle and tender smile on his face, I felt a surge of warmth in my heart. He knew all


    along what I wanted to do but he did not ask because I never told him about it. He did not stop me


    either and had been silently helping me.


    Up to this point, I must admit that Theo had changed a lot.


    My feelings prompted me to hug him. "Thank you, Theo."


    Theoughed. "Don’t mention it, silly.”


    I pursed my lips but did not say anything else.


    "Miss Woods told me that Cindy gave you trouble," Theo said with a smile.


    Iughed mockingly. "She thinks I''m framing her mother."


    Theo said after a very long time, "I’ve already arranged for Zedd to take her to France. She


    probably won’te back to the country in the future, so you don''t have to worry about her."


    I hummed a reply.


    "Are you unhappy?” Theo lowered his voice. "You can let me know if you''re unhappy."


    What could be changed if I told him?


    How could he leave Cindy to fend for herself for the rest of her life?


    I pushed away his hand that was stroking my face." I''m not unhappy. I don''t have a problem with


    you taking care of her out of responsibility.”


    Grandmother did not raise him to be a man bent solely on profits and who considered whether


    something was cost-effective, worthwhile, or necessary. Instead, she taught him to be loyal, filial,


    and righteous. Therefore, I could understand why he was not able to ignore it every time Cindy was


    in trouble.


    Theo woke up very early the next morning to go to thepany. Quinn was bent on believing that I


    was the one who exposed the incident in the past. When I went downstairs, she kept following


    behind me to make all sorts of snarky remarks. My stomach was not hurting as much anymore, so I


    went to thepany after eating breakfast. I feared that I might not be able to stop myself from


    berating Quinn if I continued to listen to her.


    When I got to the entrance of thepany, I bumped into Petra.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Grayson had hired a top-notchwyer for her. Before she was confirmed to havemitted the


    crimes, the police were not allowed to detain her any longer. I was surprised that she hade to


    me right after she got out of the police station.


    She was leaning against the car and looked to be in good spirits.


    I wanted to walk straight into thepany while pretending like I did not see her, but she was here


    to see me, so how could she watch me walk in without doing anything? She trotted over to stop me


    in my tracks. "Is your vision that poor?"


    I looked indifferently at her. "How can I help you, Petra?"


    She raised her eyebrows. "Let''s have a chat."


    I did not want to have a chat with her. She was aware of that too, that was why she came straight to


    mypany’s entrance to wait for me. She knew that I would definitely agree to have a chat with


    her because I would be worried she would make a scene at the entrance of thepany.


    "You''re pretty smart, Petra," I mockingly said.


    "Don’t worry. I''m not here to argue with you." Petra crossed her arms. "Let’s go to the restaurant


    across the street."


    I nodded ndly.


    We walked into the restaurant and took a seat. Petra went straight to the point. "Who gave you that


    information?"


    I tapped my fingers on the table. "Only you know how many sins youmitted, Petra. Which


    information


    are you referring to specifically?"


    Petra narrowed her eyes. "I must admit that we''re alike in so many ways, Wanda. We''re able to


    endure and be hard-headed, not stopping until we achieve our goal. You’ve ruined my hard work all


    these years."


    After a pause, she continued, "The unpleasant past of mine has been uncovered by you. My biggest


    wish in life is to marry Grayson and be with him openly, but it''s no longer possible now. You have


    avenged your child."
