Chapter 754
I looked indifferently at Quinn without saying a word.
She continued, "Please, can you stop pestering Theo? The Louises and Schumans can take care of
you, so why must you ask Theo to take care of you? Do you know how badly Grant Corporation has
been affected b y the rumors ever since you returned? And do you know why Theo is so busy?"
"That’s enough!" Theo stopped her from continuing.
I nced at him and said to Quinn, "If you have something to say, then pour it all out today."
She sneered. "Matthew snatched away several contracts that were Grant Corporation’s at first. And
with the gossip spreading out there, Grant Corporation''s stocks have dropped several percentage
points." i
After a pause, she continued, "Yes, he’s fine with whatever that is happening to Grant Corporation,
but can you really bring yourself to watch his efforts all these years go down the drain? 9

"Also, that child belongs to the Lynches. If you can''t give him a child, why are you subjecting him to
the nders of others? They''re saying that he’s infertile, and in order topete with the Lynches
for
Munchkin’s custody, he''ll have to sacrifice his friendship, the prestige, and the reputation he so
painstaking built up over the years in Whaldorf City. You willpletely ruin him if you continue to
stay b y his side." 12
Myplexion turned a little pale after hearing what she said. 1
Theo quickly walked to my side and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. He looked at Quinn
with a cold expression. "Get lost."
Whether it was his expression at the moment or his words, it was clear that he was currently very
angry.
Quinn was afraid of this version of him and stepped back subconsciously. She fell silent for a few
minutes before turning around and leaving. 1
My body was shaking a little. It was clearly stillte autumn now, but I would not stop sweating.
Theo kept holding me in a deadly embrace. 2
"Wanda, don''t listen to a word she said. Even if you didn''t exist, Matthew and I would never be
friends. Only one person can be the best in the business field i n Whaldorf City. Besides, Grant
Corporation isn''t as fragile as she described it to be. You must remember that you are mywful
wife. We''ll tackle all problems together, hand in hand." 4
I nodded, but my body was still shaking violently.
The deep sense of powerlessness from three years ago was felt once again.
Theo carried me back to the room and wey on the bed, embracing each other tightly.
I felt a sense of security and said in a trembling voice, " Theo, I might actually turn into a lunatic.
You shouldn''t waste your time on me."
In fact, I was more afraid than anyone else about turning into a lunatic. I did not want to be unable
to recognize anyone and lose the ability to take care of myself.
If that day actually came, I would end my life while I was still in the right mind instead of allowing
myself and those I loved to suffer.
Theo hugged me even tighter and gently kissed my hair, saying tenderly, "That day will nevere.
With Munchkin and I by your side, I believe you''ll heal. Our lives will only get better.”
He wasforting me as well as himself.
Theo was rich, talented, and handsome. He was in his prime. If it were not for me, his life would be
perfect.
I raised my eyes and looked at his chin, feeling a pang in my heart. "Theo, you think you’re indebted
to me, but I’m indebted to you too. The child and Cecilia’s deaths will haunt me for life. Perhaps I
may never get over it. Matthew is obsessed with me, and unless I die, I''ll never get rid of him. After
all, I owe him my life. Maybe we should just... break up."
I believed that Theo would take care of me forever if I actually became a lunatic one day. However, I
should not be so selfish. He deserved a happy life.
Even if I did not be a lunatic, I should not continue to drag him down.
I could sense Theo’s body turning rigid. The strength with which he was holding me was like he was
trying t o merge our bodies together.
I dared not look at his face as I was afraid that I would waver.
