“Wanda Lane, what do you mean by that?!” Cindy was so angry that her eyes had turned bloodshot. However, she still had to maintain her sophisticated demeanor in front of Theo, so she did not dare rush up to me and slap me.“I meant what I said. I really don’t get it, why do you have to cling to Theo? Don’t you still have Doctor Lynch and Zedd Nichols by your side? Well, I guess Doctor Lynch won’t like an arrogant, spoiled, and unreasonable brat like you.”I looked at Zedd and continued, “As for President Nichols, he’s loyal and faithful to you, only for you to treat him as a bootlicker. You hand him your boot to be licked when it’s necessary and chuck him away when he’s not needed. Your act of keeping him as a backup while you go after a better man is despicable.”I was mad, so I did not filter my words.Zedd, who was at the side, heard my words and his expression changed. “Wanda Lane, watch what you’re saying.”“What double standards you have, President Nichols. I have to watch w

Theo lifted his head and printed a soft kiss on my lips.…I got up and headed to the washroom.Without saying goodbye, I left the ward since I did not want to be by his side any longer.The moment I opened the door, I saw Cindy squatting by the door. Bashfulness filled her face.I knew when I saw her that she must have seen everything that had just happened. I silently cursed Theo in my heart but I pretended that nothing happened as I breezily walked past her.“You’re shameless, Wanda Lane.” Behind me, Cindy’s loathsome voice rang out.I stopped, turned around, and looked at her. “Yeah, it’s shameful to peek at another couple’s love life. If you have the guts, you should’ve gone in and watched, then. Why were you hiding here?”I paused. “Oh, right, I don’t think he was satisfied just now since my hands can only do so much. If you go in now, both of you can probably continue with the unfinished business!”After I was done, I entered the elevator without giving her a chance to

To summarise, he had done everything evil a child was capable of doing—as well as things children should have been incapable of doing—and I had been his target. The only thing in my favor was that he would always remember to call my mother to look for me after one of his pranks.I was probably extremely fortunate to have managed to survive every time.My mother felt very guilty about all of this. She was constantly crying and always hugging me, but she could not do anything about Tyler since she had already accepted the money from the supplier. She could not throw him out.I grew up in a harsh environment under the shadow of Tyler’s torment, which took a toll on both my physical and mental state. It was the root cause of my future illness.When I was 15, Tyler graduated from high school. At that time, he was gaining popularity due to his computer skills. He had taken part in a competition at school and had gotten first place nationwide. I remember he said that he would become the b

Theo turned to look at me but did not say anything. His eyes were deep pools, but the emotions in them were unclear.Deliberately ignoring the malice and anger in Tyler’s eyes, I walked up to Theo, held his hand, and said again, “Let’s go, let’s go home.”Theo looked at me for a long time before an attractive smile bloomed on his face. “Okay, whatever you say.”After he was done speaking, he laced his fingers between mine tightly, turned around, and left with me.I reckoned Tyler was not in the mood to get into a fistfight with Theo either since he did not say anything to stop us. He stood where he was and merely watched darkly as we left.After a while, Theo spoke in a tone laced with humor. “Were you worried about me just now?”I blocked his question out instinctively as we approached my car. I instead asked, “I’m driving back. Are you coming with me?”“You’re following me back in my car.” Right after that, he turned to Mason Lynch and said, “You, drive her car back.”I did n

Too many matters and too many heartaches had swelled up within my heart. This had nothing to do with the box now, and everything to do with a human’s heart and intentions. Our mindsets were changing now. I could no longer be like I used to be, and his shifting attitude towards me had become habitual.Like most men, when he was faced with my accusation, he felt wronged and helpless but did not want to fight. He wanted to resolve the matter calmly.Theo looked at me and said in a grave voice, “Wanda Lane, I was wrong about the box incident, and I’ll apologize to you once again. We’re husband and wife, and I respect you very much. It has never crossed my mind to treat you like you don’t matter. Let’s not fight anymore, okay?”He did not want to continue with the argument, but when my heart started grieving again over all the injustice I had ever been through, I could no longer hold myself back. “Theo Grant, let’s just part ways! It’s better for everyone like that.”I could admit that
