Chapter 423
The Woman From Hell
Cindy had found my sore spot. She was right. I could not bear to have her plague my life and
marriage forever.
It was also true that if she did not give up pestering Theo, he would not leave her. I found that
infuriating and disgusting.
Cindy saw the change in my facial expression and smiled. "If you let go of this matter, I promise to
leave Theowy alone. Iâll never contact him ever again. Isn't this what you've always wanted?"
I scoffed. "That sounds really good, but what if you shamelessly come looking for Theo again after
your mom is out of trouble? What would I be able to do about it then?"
"I swear..."
"Save it." I sneered. "Your words are worth nothing."
Cindyâs expression changed.
I got up from the sofa and walked toward her. âCindy Reed, I don't mind continuing to hurt each
other our whole lives. If you continue to gross me out your whole life, you won't be happy either.
Besides, you'll just be known as a mistress. Wait, no, you wonât even b e considered a mistress. At
most, you're a sticky band-
aid. If thatâs the case, I think youâll have it much worse than me."
I saw Cindy's face grow pale, and I smirked. "Cindy Reed, why can't you be a little smarter? With
your current family background, youâll be able to get any guy you want. Zedd Nichols is both
charming and rich. He only has you in his heart, so why are you rejecting the happiness that's right
in front of you and choosing to step into the muddy swamp? Why can't you just choose to live more
comfortably in the short few decades you have left?"
I really had good intentions when I said all these to Cindy. If it were other women, they would have
left Theo alone a long time ago since no one would bang headfirst into a wall and still not go
another way. Besides, the feelings Cindy had for Theo were not love. She was merely dependent on
him and it had become a habit. She thought that this was what love was. That was all.
"Don't you try to lead me astray." Cindy pushed me on the shoulder. "If you show my mother mercy
and let her off, I'll leave Theowy. Or else, thatâs the end of our conversation.â
"Since you're so stubborn, then I have nothing else to say to you." I gestured her to the door.
"Please leave."
Cindy huffed coldly and snapped, "Just you wait!"
I smiled and nodded. "Same to you."
She briskly walked out of my office and I sat back on the sofa, closing my eyes. I breathed a long
sigh of relief.
Cindy Reed was such a difficult person to deal with.
She did not even show a tinge of sorrow when she brought up her deceased baby. Was the baby
not important to her at all?
Perhaps she wanted too many things and she had too many things, so she did not seem to care
about that baby.
I felt a little weary, so I wanted to take a nap. Not too long after that, I heard my office door open. I
opened m y eyes to see Theo and I was stunned. "You came back so quickly?"
"Who was here just now?" Theo asked emotionlessly.
