Chapter 487

Seeing the gentle and tender smile on his face, I felt a surge of warmth in my heart. He knew all

along what I wanted to do but he did not ask because I never told him about it. He did not stop me

either and had been silently helping me.

Up to this point, I must admit that Theo had changed a lot.

My feelings prompted me to hug him. "Thank you, Theo."

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

I pursed my lips but did not say anything else.

"Miss Woods told me that Cindy gave you trouble," Theo said with a smile.

I 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."

I hummed a reply.

"Are you unhappy?” Theo lowered his voice. "You can let me know if you're unhappy."

What could be changed if I told him?

How could he leave Cindy to fend for herself for the rest of her life?

I pushed away his hand that was stroking my face." I'm not unhappy. I don't have a problem with

you taking care of her out of responsibility.”

Grandmother did not raise him to be a man bent solely on profits and who considered whether

something was cost-effective, worthwhile, or necessary. Instead, she taught him to be loyal, filial,

and righteous. Therefore, I could understand why he was not able to ignore it every time Cindy was

in trouble.

Theo woke up very early the next morning to go to the company. Quinn was bent on believing that I

was the one who exposed the incident in the past. When I went downstairs, she kept following

behind me to make all sorts of snarky remarks. My stomach was not hurting as much anymore, so I

went to the company after eating breakfast. I feared that I might not be able to stop myself from

berating Quinn if I continued to listen to her.

When I got to the entrance of the company, I bumped into Petra.

Grayson had hired a top-notch lawyer for her. Before she was confirmed to have committed the

crimes, the police were not allowed to detain her any longer. I was surprised that she had come to

me right after she got out of the police station.

She was leaning against the car and looked to be in good spirits.

I wanted to walk straight into the company while pretending like I did not see her, but she was here

to see me, so how could she watch me walk in without doing anything? She trotted over to stop me

in my tracks. "Is your vision that poor?"

I looked indifferently at her. "How can I help you, Petra?"

She raised her eyebrows. "Let's have a chat."

I did not want to have a chat with her. She was aware of that too, that was why she came straight to

my company’s entrance to wait for me. She knew that I would definitely agree to have a chat with

her because I would be worried she would make a scene at the entrance of the company.

"You're pretty smart, Petra," I mockingly said.

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

across the street."

I nodded blandly.

We walked into the restaurant and took a seat. Petra went straight to the point. "Who gave you that

information?"

I tapped my fingers on the table. "Only you know how many sins you committed, Petra. Which

information

are you referring to specifically?"

Petra narrowed her eyes. "I must admit that we're alike in so many ways, Wanda. We're able to

endure and be 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."
