Chapter 873


    Elena’s actions made everyone gasp. Some people secretly studied my expression, while some


    spoke under their breath.


    "Ms. Mandez usually carries herself in such a stern and decisive manner. I thought she was a


    woman with an iron heart, but now it seems like she''s just a soft and weak woman."


    "Her soft and fragile disposition just makes her look s o pitiable."


    "Right? I bet Mr. Grant''s heart is in turmoil now, not just mine."


    "Stop talking nonsense, guys." One of thedies stopped them. "Mr. Grant is married."


    A man snorted. "You don''t know anything. It''s normal for a rich and handsome man like Mr. Grant to


    keep his family intact but have an affair outside of marriage. Besides, a talented and stunning


    woman like Ms. Mandez is a perfect match for Mr. Grant. She''s surely way better than the one he’s


    keeping at home."


    The discussions continued. I looked at Elena and Theo. I objectively thought that the two of them


    looked good together.


    Some people said that an evenly matched marriage


    was bound tost. Thinking about it now, Theo and I seemed to have quite a huge disparity


    between us.


    As I was in a daze, Petra suddenly bolted over and pulled Elena away from Theo’s arms. She said


    coldly," The ambnce will be here any time. I need an emergency team member from the hotel to


    send thisdy to the hotel’s entrance." 1


    Petra was certainly not a nosy person. She obviously wanted the two to pay attention, seeing how


    she suddenly barged out to pull Theo and Elena away.


    The hotel staff acted quickly and brought a stretcher over, lifting Elena away.


    The annual convention continued, and Theo left after being called away by Petra. She probably had


    things t o say to him. I did not want to walk around aimlessly, s o I found a spot and continued


    eating.


    After eating, I looked at the crowd in the distance and felt a little sleepy. I looked at the time and


    realized that it was almost ten o''clock.


    Theo came back and saw me yawning. He asked with a smile, "Are you tired?"


    I nodded. "Will it take very long before we can go home?"


    Theo held my hand, his eyes filled with tenderness as he looked at me. “We''ll be able to go home


    soon."


    The waiter brought two sses of milk. He had probably told the waiter to.


    He put one of the sses in my hand and said with a smile, "Come, I''ll introduce you to some


    people."


    He brought me to meet people who had partnered up with Grant Corporation, as well as those who


    had distinguished statuses and identities.


    In front of those people, he would introduce me and say, "This is my wife, Wanda Lane."


    After meeting those I should meet, Theo nned to take me home.


    We bumped into Celine at the door, and I greeted her with a smile.


    I had noticed a problem. Celine hardly spoke to anyone all night. She was merely drinking and


    eating alone.


    Was she being crowded out?


    Thinking of that possibility, I asked, "Are you nning to go home too?"


    She nodded. "Yeah.”


    Both her words and nature were indifferent.

    "Where are you staying? We can give you a ride. It''s hard to get a cab around here." It was not that


    it was hard but it was almost impossible to get one.


    She was stunned and looked at Theo, seemingly a little hesitant.


    I tugged at Theo''s sleeve. He looked down at me, then a


    t Celine as he said indifferently, "Let''s go."


    After getting into the car, Theo and I sat in the backseat, whereas Celine and the driver were in


    front.


    There was hardly any talking. She gave her address and the driver drove her back.


    Before getting out of the car, she looked back at me."


    Thank you, Ms. Lane."


    I nodded, not taking it to heart.
