Chapter 1203


    I raised my eyebrows. "Her substitute?”


    "Don''t you know that you’ve been a substitute all along?”


    Elena coldly snorted. "She is Theo''s first crush, but they weren''t able to be together, s o Theo found


    you to be her substitute."


    She continued after a pause, "If Theo''s current wife were Cindy, I''d at least feel better about it.


    Although she can''tpare to me in terms of her looks and figure, she has a superior family


    background and is well-matched with Theo. I can''tpete with her on that. But I can never ept


    his wife being you. You have nothing topete against me. You don''t even have a family. What


    right do you have to be with Theo?"


    I put down the coffee cup and looked out the window.


    Back then, the Louises were concerned about their reputation and the fact that I was adamant


    about not having our rtionship exposed to the public. Up until now, the public still thought that


    Cindy was the Louises'' daughter.


    Therefore, she managed to take my ce : n Whaldorf City in those three years I was away.


    Elena was one of the clueless outsiders.


    I looked at her, not nning to tell her the truth. "Don''t you think you''re too full of yourself, Ms.


    Mandez? Not everything in this world happens ording to your imagination. A person''s status and


    identity will only be considered in a loveless marriage. Theo and 1 have been together for so many


    years. Even if you snatch him away now, you’ll still live under my shadow for the rest of your life."


    I continued after a pause, "You''re still young, so take the chance to find a suitable man and go on a


    date. Or else, it’ll be toote once you realize you’ve wasted your youth.”


    Elena sneered and looked at me in disdain. "I suspect you didn''t even listen to what I was saying


    earlier. Are you sure Theo truly loves you? Is there really love between you?"


    I frowned. "I know it best. I don’t need to argue with you about such things."


    "Really?"


    Elena said maliciously, "I think you''re just afraid to argue with me. In fact, you''re unsure if he really


    loves you. After all, love can sometimes be faked."


    If she had said these things to me three years ago, then I might actually get affected by them.


    However, that was not the case now. I simply found her absurd.


    "If you want to get a man, Ms. Mandez, shouldn''t you be concerned if he''ll fall in love with you or


    not? Why are you so concerned about whether he loves me or not? Even if he doesn''t, then what''s


    the point if he ends up falling in love with someone else other than you?”

    Elena''s expression sank. "I just think you''re pitiful."


    I picked up my phone and nced at the time. It was time to go back.


    I picked up the coffee to finish the rest of it before saying ndly to Elena, "First of all, thank you for


    thinking of me, but let me remind you one thing as a friend. You really don''t need to keep giving me


    trouble because I simply don’t care. You’ll only end up being the one getting angry."


    I continued after a pause, "Just because you’re mad at Theo for ignoring you, you came to me to


    vent your anger so I would b e as unhappy as you. Perhaps you think it’d be even better if you could


    get me to leave Theo straight away. That’s what you''re nning to do, right? But I’m sorry to say


    that the more you behave this way, the more I won''t give him to you because you don’t deserve it."


    "Do you deserve it, then?" Elena burst out in anger.


    "More than you, at least."


    I raised my eyebrows and continued, “ There is one more thing that I''d like to speak to you about. I


    know the matter between Cindy and Theo better than you. I can tell you for sure that even if I don''t


    exist, Theo will never marry Cindy. Since h e married me, that just means that I''m worth it and am


    worthy of him. There''ll always be someone who''s better looking and more talented, but Theo will


    only love one person from start to finish."


    "You!" Elena was furious.


    Giving her no chance to speak, I said with a snicker, "Your talent and stunning looks are plus points


    for you, Ms. Mandez. But if you''re merely using your talent and good looks to make a man fall in


    love with you, then that man will only love your talent and beauty. Once a woman who is more


    talented and more beautiful than you appears one day, he''ll immediately love her and not you.


    Maybe you should start improving on your inner beauty instead. A n arrogant and domineering


    woman who only tters others can be quite annoying."
