Theo laughed. "Don’t mention it, silly.”

"Miss Woods toldthat Cindy gave you trouble," Theo said with a smile.
| laughed mockingly. "She thinks I'm framing her mother."
Theo said after a very long time, "I've already arranged for Zedd to take her to France. She probably won't come
back to the country in the future, so you don't have to worry about her."

"Are you unhappy?” Theo lowered his voice. "You can letknow if you're unhappy."
What could be changed if | told him?
How could he leave Cindy to fend for herself for the rest of her life?

Theo woke up very early the next morning to go to the company. Quinn was bent on believing that | was the one
who exposed the incident in the past. When | went downstairs, she kept following behindto make all sorts of
snarky remarks. My stomach was not hurting as much anymore, so | went to the company after eating breakfast.
| feared that | might not be able to stop myself from berating Quinn if I continued to listen to her.
When | got to the entrance of the company, | bumped into Petra.

so how could she watchwalk in without doing anything? She trotted over to stopin my tracks. "Is your
vision that poor?"
| looked indifferently at her. "How can | help you, Petra?"

"Don’t worry. I'm not here to argue with you." Petra crossed her arms. "Let's go to the restaurant across the

hard-headed, not stopping until we achieve our goal. You've ruined my hard work all these years."
After a pause, she continued, "The unpleasant past of mine has been uncovered by you. My biggest wish in life is
to marry Grayson and be with him openly, but it's no longer possible now. You have avenged your child."
