Chapter 501

Upon hearing her question, Petra and Grayson's expression abruptly sank.

Seeing how Grayson did not speak, she grabbed Petra's hands and cried, "Mom, you mustn't cover

for her. You have to seek vengeance for me."

Petra looked at her with a complicated expression and said after a very long time, "I agree that this

should be handled privately."

"Mom!” Cindy was dumbfounded. "Why are you also..."

Halfway through her sentence, she stopped and looked at Wanda. "Did you blackmail my parents?”

I sneered. "I don't think I’m capable enough to do that, Miss Heed."

Petra and Grayson now suspected that Cindy was not their biological daughter, and with Theo

expressing his intention to protect me, they were not willing to turn this into a major issue as it would

offend Theo. It was not worth it at all.

When the police left, Cindy shook Petra's hand off and began wailing. "Since all of you intend to

cover for Wanda, that murderer, then all of you should just get lost. I don't need any of you to be my

witness. I don’t need you to punish this murderer for me. Get out!”

When she grew tired of crying and no longer seemed s o agitated, Theo asked indifferently, "TH try

my best to compensate you with anything you want.”

"I want you to stab her back in the stomach!" Cindy pointed at me.

Theo frowned. “Something else.”

“I knew it." Cindy’s chest was violently rising and falling. She was clearly very mad about it.

"You aren't grateful to my adoptive parents for sacrificing their lives to save you. You’re merely

taking care of me because you're afraid that others will scold you for being an ungrateful brat."

Theo’s expression turned even more sullen after hearing what she said.

I glanced at him and walked up to Cindy. "You just want to stab me back, right? Sure, go ahead.”

Having said that, I took out the fruit knife from the drawer of the nightstand and handed it to her.

Cindy grabbed the knife and let out a slightly bizarre smile. She moved to stab my stomach without

a single hesitation and everyone around her exclaimed.

"That's enough!" Theo quickly grabbed her arm, snatching the knife away from her hand.

Petra pulled Cindy into her arms, while Grayson looked at me with a complicated expression. "We'll

take it as though this has never happened. You should

go.

Cindy refused to take this lying down and said in an agitated tone, "How can you do that, Dad? I

nearly got killed and you’re just going to let her go this easily?"

"Why are you always giving her trouble for nothing?" Petra let her go and said in a chilly tone,

"Would she have hurt you if you hadn't provoked her first? You deserve it.”

Cindy never expected to hear such words from Petra because Petra had doted on her all this while.

She would strike back at anyone who bullied her.

Cindy was baffled as to why Petra was looking at her like she was looking at a stranger.

Realizing that she sounded a little too harsh, Petra softened her tone. "Cindy, you know I have lots

of things to handle lately and have no time to take care o f you. I'll send two servants from home to

take care of you. For now, just stay in the hospital, recuperate, and don't worry about everything

else."

Cindy was used to being spoiled by Theo and Zedd for many years. She was later spoiled by Petra

and Grayson. Never had she ever suffered such grievances before.

Although she had no idea why Petra and Grayson were not pursuing the matter further, she would

not let this matter drop just because they did not care.

She glared at me with a vicious look in her eyes. "Just you wait, Wanda Lane!"
