Chapter 1105
The Woman From Hell
I planned to turn around and leave after saying that. There was simply no reason why I should
continue bickering with her.
Though when I turned around and saw Theo standing at the door, I could not get m y feet out the
door no matter what.
The man looked fixedly at me with his dark eyes, asking me in a deep and low voice, "I'm only worth
a million dollars?"
My heart clenched. Sure enough, he had overheard our conversation earlier.
Since he had overheard us, there was nothing I could say. I went along with it and said, "Mainly
because sheâs too poor and can only afford to give me a million dollars.' "When did I say that I was
going to give you money?"
Seeing that Theo was here, Elena had no plans of admitting what she said earlier and walked up to
Theo's side. She looked at me and said with a face full of anger, "You were the one who said that
you didn't love Mr. Grant anymore. You said that as long a s I gave you money, you would leave
him. Heâs not a commodity, so I straight up refused you."
After a pause, she looked up at Theo and continued, "Besides, I have no reason to give her money
to make her leave you.
Your relationship has nothing to do with m e."
She was turning things upside down and staying out of the matter.
Theo looked at me with a sullen expression as though he was waiting for me to explain myself.
I felt a little speechless and did not bother explaining myself. Looking at the two, I said flatly, "I still
have a lot of things to do. Have fun acting, you guys.â
I was about to leave after saying that.
When I walked past Theo, he suddenly grabbed my arm and said to Elena, "You go ahead first."
"Mr. Grant, don'tâ"
Elena stopped halfway through the sentence because Theo's gaze was too terrifying.
After she left, Theo and I looked at each other. Neither of us intended to speak first.
After a long time, Theo sighed slightly and asked in a hoarse voice, "Was that necessary?"
I frowned, feeling a little puzzled. "Was what necessary?"
Theo pursed his lips. "Was it necessary to push me to a random woman in order to get rid of me?"
I could not help but laugh, saying in a particularly serious tone, "I'll be more cautious in the future
and find someone you're satisfied with. Will that be okay?"
'Wanda Lane!" He got a little angry. "What d o you take me for?"
I grew a little annoyed and pulled out my arm from his broad palm. I said with a face full of
indifference, "I've said what I wanted to say, Theo. What we're missing now are just divorce papers.
Besides, you agreed to
let me go, so I have no reason to waste my time on meaningless things such as pushing you to
another woman.â
Theo's countenance grew even sullen. I took a deep breath and continued, "I donât care what you
do with Elena or other women. It has nothing to do with me. If you think that not having a divorce
right now will bring restrictions to both sides, then let's go to Salt City now and get it over with. You
said it yourself, if I canât get past the obstacles in my heart, then youâll be the bigger man and let me
go. So I hope youâll treat it as if weâre divorced now.â
I turned around and left after saying that.
When I walked out the door, I happened to bump into Krayden, who was getting out of the car.
He looked at me and said with a smile, "Do you want to go to the restaurant with me, M
s. Lane?"
I nodded. "Yes, please."
After getting into the car, Krayden and I discussed a few specifics regarding the project.
