Chapter 1171
The Woman From Hell
Elena let out a heart-wrenching cry, yelling at her angrily, "Who do you think you are? Who are you
to tell me what to do? Why can't I fight for what I want? Besides, Wanda clearly said that she didn't
want him and pushed Mr. Grant to me, so how can you say that I'm snatching him away? I think
you're just jealous of me because I have both looks and talent."
Their argument amused me a little. It was n o different than kindergarten kids quarreling.
I pursed my lips and mildly said, "It's hard t o control yourself when you love someone. You're not
wrong to love Theo, and I'm up for a fair competition. I won't stop you."
"Did you hit your head, Wanda?"
Lally looked at me with a face full of speechlessness, "How can you be so generous when someone
is eyeing your man?"
I shrugged. "Actually, we don't have the power to decide when it comes to matters like this. Theo is
the only one who can decide. I trust him fully. If he has a change of heart and falls in love with
Elena, then all I can say is that our fate has come to an end. If he doesnât love Elena and doesn't
give her a single chance, then doesnât it mean that the man I chose is worth it?"
Lally froze, then nodded and said, "You're not wrong.â
Elena glared at me and said, "You're too confident, Wanda Lane. A man and a woman will turn into
strangers once the excitement wears off."
I laughed. "In that case, the excitement between Theo and I has gone on long enough, don't you
think?"
"You!â Elena was furious at having no way o f retorting.
I shook my head with a face full of helplessness. "Like I said, if you're not happy about it, then let's
compete fairly."
The argument was so loud that it attracted other people.
When Jordan and Theo arrived, what they saw was Lally and I standing on one side looking
carefree while Elena was sitting on the ground in a wretched state.
It was clear who was the bully and who was the victim.
Elena was smart and cried even harder while accusing me and Cally of bullying her and hitting her.
Theo looked at me, his gaze dimming a little.
My heart sank. It was not that I was worried that he would blame me, but the way he looked at me
left me cold as ice.
"Cally!" Jordan frowned, saying, "Ms. Mandez is Grant Corporation's director. Donât you think the
two of you have gone a little too far?"
Cally lowered her head, admitting her fault at lightning speed. "I'm sorry, Mr.
Fredericks. I acted on impulse."
Having said that, she even faced the teary-faced Elena with a first-class attitude. She apologized in
an extremely sincere manner, "I sincerely apologize to you for what happened today, Ms. Mandez. I
acted on impulse. I hope you can forgive me!
I froze. She was a little too good at acting according to situations.
Jordan was pleased with her attitude and looked at Elena, saying, "Ms. Mandez, Fredericks
Corporation will be responsible for today's incident regardless of whose fault it is. I'll ask my people
to take you to the hospital to do a check-up to see if you're injured Weâll compensate accordingly.
As for Ms. Cally and Ms. Lane, we'll also carry out the relevant punishments. I'm truly sorry."
I opened my mouth to say something but clammed up after Theo cast me a glance.
Jordan looked at me and said a little helplessly, "Ms. Lane, I donât know whose fault it is, but anyone
who's on Fredericks Corporation's territory is our guest. It wasn't right of you to start a fight with Ms.
Mandez."
After he said those words, I saw Cally winking frantically at me. I realized what was happening and
quickly acted as sincerely as Cally and apologized.
Elena was suddenly awkward, not knowing whether to get up or continue to make a fuss.
