Chapter 1109
Thisdy deliberately came to me just to boast and dere her victory to me. If that was not
childish, then what was?
I smiled faintly. "Ms. Mandez, I believe you have the ability to read a person''s expression. Do you
think you see sadness o n my face? Your rtionship with Theo and how far your rtionship has
progressed have nothing to do with me. I don’t care about it. Don’t you think it’s childish for you to
boast in front of someone who doesn’t even care?"
I did not care, okay?
Unable to get the reaction she wanted, Elena was more or less displeased. She snorted, saying,
“Don''t act so generous with me. ying hard to get may work once in a while, but men will hate it if
you use it for a long time. Don''t think I have no idea what you''re up to. You''re pretending to push
Theo away so he’ll think he has been treated unfairly. The more you stop him froming near
you, the more he''ll want t o get you back. I must say that your tactics are something."
I could not hold back myughter. What a genius. I seriously wondered if her IQ had been
squandered on books with nothing left.

“What are youughing at?" Elena was exasperated. "Am I wrong?”
“You''re so right." I looked at her with a face full of smiles. "If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve had
no idea that I was ying hard to get. Since you think this tactic is good and can make a man lust
after a woman, why don''t you use it?"
After a pause, I continued, "Do you perhaps know that in order to seed in using the ying hard
to get tactic, you''ll first have t o make the man interested in you?"
"You!" Elena was furious.
My words had cut her to the quick because Theo was not the least bit interested in her, so this tactic
would not work for her.
Elena took a deep breath and figured out the words to retort to me. With a face full of mockery, she
said, "It''s beneath me to use tactics that only vixens and useless women like you use. Otherwise,
with your appearance and family background, why else do you think the Grants epted you and
Theo got mesmerized by you? Frankly speaking, you met him just a few years before me. If we had
met him at the same time, I''m afraid you wouldn''t even have stood a chance against me."
Maybe belittling me had given her great psychological satisfaction, she continued unscrupulously,
"Wanda Lane, a woman like you is more than enough to match an ordinary man, but Theo? You’re
just not for him. The fact that you''re an orphan alone has made you disqualified."
Elena’s educational qualifications and strong work ethic had impressed me greatly, but I was less
than impressed by her character.
If I remained indifferent in the face of such degradation, then it would only make me seem like a
pushover.
I looked at her with a frosty gaze and said : n a sarcastic tone, "I didn’t like you very much in the first
ce, Ms. Mandez, but I most certainly did not hate you. Besides, I admire your strong work ethic
and rich knowledge, but the words that just came out of your mouth have made me look at you in a
different light."
After a pause, I continued, "A person with high educational qualifications doesn''t necessarily have a
good character and good matured heart. If a woman like you is described as a dish, then you’ll
probably be steak. It tastes good on the first bite but one will get sick of eating it after a while. If
Theo actually dates you, I''ll be quite worried about his life expectancy getting reduced."
"What did you say?” Elena stood up from the chair abruptly, looking viciously at me." How dare you
describe me like that?"
Judging from her terrifying expression, she might haveid a finger on me if it weren''t for the fact
that there were many people around.
The anger in my heart dissipated seeing how angry she was. Not wanting to talk to her any longer, I
got up and nned to leave.
Elena refused to give up and stood in my way.
