Chapter 517
Before I could react, Theo leaned down and picked me up. He walked to the bed and put me down.
"Be good and lie down.”
He turned around and left after saying that.
I was tremendously baffled. Did he not agree to divorce just now? Why would he suddenly say such
things again?
A few minutester, Miss Woods came in. When she saw me sitting dazedly on the bed, she
sighed.
"Please hear me out, Miss Wanda. Arguments happen, especially between married couples. All you
have to d o is solve the conflict. Getting a divorce is a big no-no."
Miss Woods had a more traditional mindset and thought that married couples should never get a
divorce. No matter how hard life was, one should grit their teeth and go on with life. I could not bring
myself to agree with her views, so I refused to listen to a word she said.
She opened her mouth to say something but I quickly intercepted, "You should head out first, Miss
Woods. I''d like to spend some time alone."
Iid down on the bed and soon fell asleep after she went out.
I slept until midnight and woke up in a pitch-ck room. I could tell that I was alone in the bedroom.
I switched on the lights and picked up the ss of water from the bedside table. I drank a few
mouthfuls of water to quench my thirst.
Miss Woods had cleaned the room. The floormp that was kicked to the floor by Theo was gone. I
would often wake up in the middle of the night and could not go back to sleep. Not wanting to think
of upsetting thoughts, I grabbed myptop and began working.
At seven o''clock in the morning, after processing thest of the documents, I looked out the window
and realized that it was snowing.
I got out of bed and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the
servants plowing the snow below.
As long as I was alive, life would go on as usual, no?
After a quick washing up, Miss Woods came over and said with a smile, "Miss Wanda, New Year’s
Eve is approaching and it''s time to buy some New Year''s goods. I''m going out this afternoon to buy
some stuff. D o you want toe along? It''s bustling with energy out there. This will be a good time
to go out for a walk and clear your head."
I shook my head. "No thanks. I still have things to handle at the office. I''m going out after breakfast."
Miss Woods returned to the kitchen and got to work. I sat on the sofa in the living room in a daze.
Heidi sent me a message saying that Jerome and Xander never went out after they returned to their
residence. There were no more updates for me for the time being.
Were they nning to celebrate New Year’s in Salt City?
Did that mean that Cecilia was alone in France?
There were too many questions bothering me, and with Cecilia not answering my calls, it seemed
that there was no other way but to go to France to see Cecilia in person to check if she was okay.
I pulled my hair in agitation. "If...”
If I went to Salt City to confront Jerome, would he tell me the truth?
After eating breakfast, I drove to thepany.

The artists in Magnificent Entertainment Company were very mature artists. Magnificent had good
resources, which quickly helped them to rise in the industry. The report sent to me by the financial
department had put me in a good mood.
I had lived up to Matthew''s expectations, I guess...
After the morning meeting, I came out and bumped into Quinn.
I walked up to her and asked, "Are you here to inspect, Ms. Grant?"
Quinn shook her head with a smile. "I''m here to see you.”
I frowned. "Let''s talk in the office."
Honestly, I was in a good mood and really did not want to talk to her.
Despite that, she was now my superior, so I had to respect her.
After going to my office, Quinn and I sat opposite each other on the sofa. After the secretary served
tea and went out, she asked ndly, "Are you and Theo nning to go back to Salt City to
celebrate New Year''s or will you be staying in Whaldorf City?"
I cast my eyes down. "We’ve discussed it and n to celebrate in Whaldorf City, but we’re not sure
now.
You can ask Theo if you want to."
Quinn raised her eyebrows. "Did you guys have a fight?"
