Chapter 500
The Woman From Hell
Cindy did not expect Quinn to say that and widened her eyes incredulously.
"Quinn, you were clearly standing on top of the staircase when she stabbed me with a knife. I saw
you."
Quinn pursed her lips and said no more.
The policemen were momentarily befuddled. After all, the ones on the scene were all distinguished
figures. Obviously, this matter should not be handled casually.
Quinn refused to speak the truth, so Cindy placed her only hope on Theo. She looked at him with
teary eyes.
"Theowy, you must speak the truth. Tell them that Wanda was the one who stabbed me with a
knife."
She was brimming with confidence in thinking that Theo would pick her side. However, even he
remained silent.
The ward fell silent all of a sudden. This could not go o n, so a policeman walked up to me and said,
"Please come with us, Maâam."
"Why must she leave with you?"
Miss Woods spread her arms and stood in front of me. "Don't take my young lady away without
evidence.
Besides, Miss Wanda is a reputable lady too. Do you know the consequences sheâll have to bear if
you take her away?"
The policeman was put in a difficult position.
I sighed and patted Miss Woodsâ shoulder. "Itâs alright, Miss Woods. I'll go with them."
I stabbed Cindy and had no reason to decline if the police wanted to take me away. Besides, I was
not a person who liked running away.
Just as I was about to walk out of the ward with the policemen, Theo let out a sigh and said, "She
didn't do anything."
I turned around and looked at him in surprise.
I was not the only one surprised; everyone was. No one expected Theo to cover for me.
"Theowy!" Cindy looked incredulously at him. "How could you cover for her! She nearly killed me!"
Theo pursed his lips and said, âLately, Miss Reed has been showing up at my place to give my wife
trouble and tried to harm her every time. My wife was very far away from Miss Reed at the time.
She has nothing to d o with this. Just like what my caretaker said, Miss Reed was the one who
harmed herself.â
"Theowy!" Cindy was about to lose her mind. "How could you do this to me?!"
Having said that, she disregarded the injury on her stomach and picked up a vase to hurl it at Theo.
Theo stepped aside to dodge it, a blank expression remained on his face.
The police were convinced by Theo's words after seeing Cindyâs behavior. They looked at her with
unfriendly gazes.
"Thatâs not true." Cindy was anxious. She looked at Petra and Grayson. "They're covering for
Wanda. You have to help me."
Petra's lips moved a little in an attempt to say something but she eventually sealed her lips.
Grayson glanced at Theo. "Sir, we don't want to trouble you. We can solve this ourselves. We're
really sorry for having you make this trip for nothing."
To be honest, the police were reluctant to handle this case too because none of the VIPs on the
scene could b e offended.
"Dad!" Cindy felt isolated and could not help but cry." Why are you covering for her too? Am I even
your daughter?"
