The Woman From Hell

I let out a sigh and said, "We have nothing to talk about.” I was in a bad mood tonight and did not want t o argue with her.

I turned around and prepared to leave after saying that.

Cindy blocked my way as she said with contempt and mockery, "Wanda, do you still think you can solve a problem by avoiding it?"

"I don’t know what problems I have with you, Miss Reed." My steps came to a halt, and I lifted my head to look at her.

"Just say it. How much will it take for you to leave Theowy?" Cindy radiated with wealth and status.

I could not help but laugh. "I must have forgotten that you're filthy rich now, Miss Reed. How much are you planning to spend on buying Theo?”

"Don't push it, Wanda. Theo is God's favored one and I'm the only one who's worthy of standing next to him. I'm also the only one who can benefit his career.

You’re no match for me."

Another sentence with 'no match' in it. It was the second time that I heard those two words tonight.

"I'm no match for you?" I sneered. "Your ability to

instantly change your attitude has really enlightened me. Why didn't you bring this up when you were a helpless orphan like me? You've just found your parents and gone back to your roots, yet you already consider me unworthy of standing next to him and want to solve the problem with money?” 3

"He doesn't love you, Wanda. Why do you still want to hurt yourself? Won't it be nice to take the money and start a new life? I advise that you agree to it while I'm still willing to negotiate with you. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what? You’ll get your new parents to kill m e?" I scoffed.

"Don't you pity yourself for being like this, Wanda? Waiting a lifetime for a man who doesn't love you will make you miserable forever.”

"Looks like you have a bad memory. I remember telling you that having a home is happiness as well. A t least he’s my husband according to the law. My child is his only descendant and will openly call him 'Dad'."

Neither threat nor temptation did the trick. Cindy changed her attitude, lowered her voice, and asked," What is it that you want? You only need to say it and I’ll give it to you. My only request is that you return Theowy to me."

Cindy was stooping low to say those words to me after failing to get what she wanted.

I always thought Cindy had a kind heart back then. I realized now that she had nothing but regrets in her

heart.

They must have been piled up in her heart over the years. Over time, it became an obsession. As for the new-earned wealth, she could not wait to use it to get others on her side.

I could not help but think it was funny and said softly, "Cindy, you’re much more pitiful than I thought. You both don't even love each other."

"You’re bullshitting." My words provoked her, and she turned slightly ferocious. "Theowy has loved me ever since we were young. I love him too. It’s you! You appeared and ruined things between us."

"Oh, really? Do you know how to prove if a man really loves you?" I frowned and laughed a little.

She looked at me without saying a word, but her body was shaking a little. She looked very unhappy. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

I went near to her ear and whispered, "It depends on whether you can arouse his passion and whether you can make him get excited."

After a pause, I continued, "Recently, Theo no longer gets excited when he sees you, right? He would rather let me please him at home with my hands instead of going to look for you. Do you know why?"

"Stop it. I don’t want to hear it." Cindy was clutching her ears, burying her head down low.

"Because I told him before that if he touches anyone else, he can’t touch me. It's obvious. He’s giving you up for me." I spread my hands out, making a helpless gesture.

Cindy's mentality completely collapsed. She covered her ears and was shaking badly while squatting on the floor.

Honestly, I did not want to upset her. She was the one who brought upon her own destruction.

"I don't believe you. Theowy loves me and cares for me the most. I'll prove it to you." Cindy stood up all of a sudden and pulled me toward the stairway.

She then loosened her grip and fell down the stairs.

Everything happened in a flash. I was just standing at the stairway with my eyes wide open as I watched her roll down the steps. She finally landed in the middle o f the hall.

There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd below and many screamed in shock.
