Chapter 422

"You evil woman!” In a moment of desperation, Cindy tried to deflect her guilt and accuse me. "You

duped m e so you can frame my mother, or was it you who set m y mother up?! You arranged

Benny Sherman and Chief Ford to set my mother up! Just you wait, I'll get Theowy right now and

make him help me-"

"Make him help you do what?" I interrupted her coldly. "Do you still think that Theo will help you get

out of all trouble unconditionally? Your foster parents saved his life, and he's been repaying them

back by taking care of you for so many years. Now that you've found your birth parents, what you've

gained is a lot more than what you’ve lost. If you still blatantly take advantage of Theo and make

him do things that put him in a difficult situation, do you really think that he won't grow sick of you?"

"You're bullsh*tting!" Cindy's emotions suddenly became very erratic. "Theowy would never get tired

of

"Is he really never going to?" I interrupted her once again. "I think you should’ve felt it by now.

Theo's been so impatient with you recently, and he's clear about the fact that he doesn't want to

take care of you. He doesn't let you have your way like before anymore."

My words hit her sore spot. Cindy's eyes were immediately red-rimmed. "That's all because of you!

If not for you, Theowy and I would’ve gotten married. I'd be his wife, and he'd be my husband. He'd

take care of me forever."

"Stop lying to yourself, Cindy Reed.” I sneered. "If Theo really loves you, no one would be able to

force

someone with a personality like his to marry me. If he loves you, he wouldn't have refused to

divorce me.

There's so much evidence that shows he has never loved you, so why do you have to pretend that

you can’t see any of it?"

"Stop talking!” Cindy could not hold back and burst into tears. "It's definitely not like what you said!

Theowy loves me, or he wouldn’t be so nice to me! I can feel that he loves me!"

I laughed coldly. "He's nice to you because your foster parents saved his life. Or else, he wouldn't

even spare a glance at an ignorant, spoilt brat like you!”

"Enough!” Cindy shrieked.

The reason why she was so upset with what I said was that she knew I was telling the truth. Theo

had never loved her.

I did not say anything else after that, nor did Cindy. She merely cried softly while I watched her cry.

When she was finally done crying, I remarked faintly," I still have work to do. I’ll make a move."

"You should be elated that I’m in so much pain now, right?” Cindy’s eyes were red and puffy from all

the crying. "My mother's reputation is at stake from all the investigation. Having a good reputation is

really important to her, so I beg you to let her off. Stop whatever you're doing. I promise to leave you

and Theowy alone."

How naive, how innocent.

Even if I were to let Petra off, would she let me off?

How unfamiliar was Cindy with her own mother?

"Cindy Reed..." I narrowed my eyes, and my tone was unforgiving. "I don't care if you want to leave

Theo and me alone or not. I'm not going to show mercy to your mother. Of course, the same goes

for you and your father as well."

Cindy’s hands were tightly clenched as she glared at m e. "Wanda Lane, you'd better forgive

someone when you can. Do you have to push it all the way to the point of no return? Also, do you

really not care if I continue t o cling to Theowy? My foster parents saved his life, so even if he

loathes me, his life will be forever entwined with mine. I’ll forever be present in your lives and your

marriage. Even so, do you really not care?"

My expression turned cold.
