Do you think I don't know what kind of person he is? "Moreover, he made it clear tobefore we got married that ours was a contractual marriage. You have no idea what he's going to giveafter our divorce. Please don't pity me. I'm not as helpless as you think." Upon hearing Rosalie's words, Cynthia's worried expression softened into a slight smile. “Is that so? You don't feel wronged being with Theo?" "As you said, he's an outstanding man. In this past year of marriage, he's giveneverything besides love. I have no complaints," Rosalie replied.
Cynthia's eyes narrowed. Just as she was about to say something, her gaze suddenly shifted to a certain spot. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Rosalie.

"Rosalie, your words are too malicious," Cynthia said inexplicably. You think I can't tell? Are you implying that I'm faking it? If you don't believe me, I'll show you my incision scar." Cynthia stood up from the sofa, clutching her heart. But as soon as she rose, she exclaimed in pain and collapsed weakly to the floor.
"Cindy." A tall figure swiftly rushed over, embracing Cynthia in concern. "Cindy, what happened?"
Tears were already streaming down Cynthia's face. "Theo, I'm finem ive Have you finished your meeting?" +25 BONUS
Rosalie didn't know when Theodore had returned, but considering Cynthia's sudden collapse, perhaps he had been standing behind her the e whole time. This cunning woman was really quite the actress. After helping Cynthia to the sofa, Theodore faced Rosalie with a cold expression.
"I asked you to take care of Cindy, but instead, you intentionally harmed her.
I was only away briefly, and you E dared to behave like this. I can't even begin to imagine what you might do when I am not around." X
