NovelEnglishChapter 184 I knew him all too well. If we pissed him off, he was capable of doing anything.
I let go of Cecilia's hand and said to her, "You go ahead first. I'll join you later." "You..." Cecilia looked worriedly at me.
I smiled. "I'm okay. Go on!" I gave her a consoling look.
Cecilia stood up with shesitation, her gaze turning sharp and stern. She glared coldly at Tyler. " Touch a single hair on her body and I'll fight you to death!" Tyler looked calm, not saying a word. His fingers tapped gently on the teacup.
Under the man's guidance, Cecilia left.

The woman smiled atand said no more. Lowering her head, she continued to brew tea.
I did not pick up the cup and merely sat there in silence, waiting for Tyler to speak.
After a long time, he finally looked up at me. "Since you've left Grant Corporation and Salt City, you should cut off all ties with Theo!" "It's none of your business." I huffed, not wanting to discuss this topic with him.
"I'm your brother, Wandy. I'm just worried about you. Don't act like a hedgehog. If you've decided to separate, then get a divorce and follow me. Letprotect you. I promise I'll make you happier than you are right now!" I looked at him and spoke in a cold voice, "I'll only bechappier when I'm far away from you." Tyler clenched the teacup, his eyes darkening as he pursed his lips tightly.
The woman beside him looked up atwith a slightly surprised expression.
After a long time, he spoke in a soft and tender voice," We grew up together, Wandy. I know you well. Don't act tough in front of me. Theo isn't suitable for you. You won't feel safe with him." I was stunned, then sneered. "Stop being so full of yourself, Mr. Tyler. I haven't seen you for five to six years. Do you think I'm still the signorant and foolish little girl? Although I've left Grant Corporation, I'm still the rightful Mrs. Grant. Why would I feel unsafe?" "Hehe." He looked meaningfully atand said," Indeed, after a few years of not meeting each other, your newfound confidence has surprised me. But..." He paused and continued, "There's a rumor going around among the gentry families in Whaldorf City recently. The Louises have two pieces of good news. They've found their long-lost daughter and now have a capable and talented son-in-law-" "What does that have anything to do with me?" I did not want to talk about these things and cut him off.
He laughed, saying, "Be patient. I'm not done yet. It's rumored that the son-in-law's last nis Grant, a man from Salt City. Oh right, Theo has been in Whaldorf City lately, right?" Tyler was doing it on purpose. I refused to believe a word he said and said indifferently, "If you're askingto stay just to tellthese rumors, Mr. Tyler, then I'm sorry because I'm not interested. I'm leaving." He sneered. "Looks like my sister refuses to believe m e. Molly, why don't you tell her what's been happening in Whaldorf City lately?" It turned out that the woman's nwas Molly.
However, I was not interested so I got up to leave.
"Why the rush, Miss Lane? Since you have nothing to do, just treat it as though you're listening to a story," Molly said behind me. Her voice was soft and gentle, while her tone was slow. She sounded nothing like a lady of pleasure.
"Or perhaps you're just lying to yourself and refusing to listen?" Tyler's mockery entered my ears.
I turned around. He raised his chin and looked atwith provocative eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI pulled the chair out and sat down without a word. What was the big deal? He just wantedto listen to a story.
Molly pouredanother cup of tea and said, "I was in Whaldorf City not long ago and heard srumors about Mr. Grant."
She glanced atand smiled lightly.
City! "Although Whaldorf City is huge this circle isn't very big. These are just rumors. Just take it as a story and don't take it too seriously." I nodded. I somewhat knew what she was going to tellnext.
Theo had been in Whaldorf City during this period of tand I did not receive any news about him.
However, no news was good news. He had probably woken up by now and Cindy's family was taking care o f him, so that was good. It was ironic to think about it because I would be hearing from a stranger about my husband's situation.
As for me, like what Tyler said, I was only acting tough. I was acting as though nothing had happened.
