Chapter 1104


    I had a rough idea about her financial status, actually.


    Grant Corporation had always been generous with their talents. Her current annual ie would at


    least be seven figures.


    "I can give you one million dors.” Elena looked even morecent now. "You can totally make


    full payment for a three-bedroom house in Hommiton City."


    Did this woman have some sort of misunderstanding toward Hommiton City?


    I cast my gaze down and smiled slightly. "A million is a lot. With this bit of sry that I''m getting, I


    would have to save up for a long time."


    "Of course."


    Elena looked smugly at me, looking especially like a peacock that was showing off its beautiful


    feathers.


    In fact, it was normal for her to look down o n me. After all, my outfit did not add up to more than


    500 dors, which wasparatively shabbypared to her branded outfit.


    "Think about it."


    Elena crossed her arms. “You don''t love Theo anyway, so you might as well give him to me and I’ll


    also give you some money to live the life you want."


    I smiled slightly. "It does sound pretty tempting.”


    After a pause, I asked her with a smile," How do you know that he''ll most certainly choose you if I


    back out?"


    "He will choose me."


    Elena said as a matter of factly, "There''s no woman more suitable than me for him. Only I am


    worthy of him.


    "Besides, I’m confident that he''ll fall in love with me. If we have a child of our own, then he’ll


    naturally forget about you and put all his attention on the child. There’s nothing more important than


    longstingpanionship, don''t you agree?"


    I could not help butugh. "Ms. Mandez, it''s good to feel confident, but being overconfident makes


    you seem conceited. I wonder if you''ve ever been in touch with the circle of socialites in Whaldorf


    City? Because if you have, then you would''ve never said those words. There are plenty of women


    who look better, are more capable, and more suitable than you for Theo. Most importantly, they all


    come from superior families and can bring him huge benefits i n the business world. They''re far


    more superior than you."

    Seeing Elena’s countenance sink, I continued without mercy, "The socialites i n Whaldorf City


    received a far better education than you. The talent you''re so proud of is nothing to them. As for the


    work ability that you''re always boasting about, I believe Theo will choose a woman with much better


    family background and working capabilities for the sake of interest if he were to remarry. If Theo is


    willing to spend a lot of money, then he''ll b e able to get a lot of things, don''t you think?" ''You!" Elena


    was exasperated.


    She retorted after a long time, "I can''tpare to the socialites but neither can you. If he could


    marry an orphan like you back then, why can’t he marry me?"


    I smiled slightly. "That’s a misconception, Ms. Mandez. You think that at this age, a man like Theo


    doesn’t care about love anymore and what’s most important for him is to have a wife who can give


    him a child, who can manage the house, and not cause him trouble for him outside of work, right?”


    Elena narrowed her eyes. "Isn’t it?"


    "Of course not.”


    I looked at her with a mocking gaze. "When two people have dated long enough, their rtionship


    will gradually vanish in the mundanity of daily life. The two people who once loved each other will


    start growing sick of each other, so it''s better to marry someone who’spatible with one’s


    personality-like a virtuous wife and mother. But remember, Theo never needs t o worry about his


    daily life because he can solve all problems in this world that can be solved with money. Therefore,


    a man like him wants love more than ordinary people. He wants a woman who can ignite his


    passion and vitality."


    Elena chuckled. "Why are you telling me these things, Wanda Lane? You don''t want t o be with him


    anymore, no? I think you''re just lying to yourself and want to y hard to get so he''ll want you


    more.”


    Iughed. "You think too much. If you like him, then I don''t mind if you want to pursue him. I''m only


    telling you this because I don''t want you to me me when you can''t win his heart. I''ll think about


    the one million offer you mentioned earlier. After all, I''m a little short of money recently."
