Chapter 487
Seeing the gentle and tender smile on his face, | felt a surge of warmth in my heart. He knew all along what |
wanted to do but he did not ask because | never told him about it. He did not stopeither and had been
silently helping me.
Up to this point, | must admit that Theo had changed a lot.
My feelings promptedto hug him. "Thank you, Theo."
Theo laughed. "Don’t mention it, silly.”
| pursed my lips but did not say anything else.
"Miss Woods toldthat Cindy gave you trouble," Theo said with a smile.
| laughed mockingly. "She thinks I'm framing her mother."
Theo said after a very long time, "I've already arranged for Zedd to take her to France. She probably won't come
back to the country in the future, so you don't have to worry about her."

"Are you unhappy?” Theo lowered his voice. "You can letknow if you're unhappy."
What could be changed if | told him?
How could he leave Cindy to fend for herself for the rest of her life?
| pushed away his hand that was stroking my face." I'm not unhappy. | don't have a problem with you taking care
of her out of responsibility.”
Grandmother did not raise him to be a man bent solely on profits and who considered whether something was
cost-effective, worthwhile, or necessary. Instead, she taught him to be loyal, filial, and righteous. Therefore, |
could understand why he was not able to ignore it every tCindy was in trouble.
Theo woke up very early the next morning to go to the company. Quinn was bent on believing that | was the one
who exposed the incident in the past. When | went downstairs, she kept following behindto make all sorts of
snarky remarks. My stomach was not hurting as much anymore, so | went to the company after eating breakfast.
| feared that | might not be able to stop myself from berating Quinn if I continued to listen to her.
When | got to the entrance of the company, | bumped into Petra.
Grayson had hired a top-notch lawyer for her. Before she was confirmed to have committed the crimes, the
police were not allowed to detain her any longer. | was surprised that she had ctoright after she got out
of the police station.
She was leaning against the car and looked to be in good spirits.
| wanted to walk straight into the company while pretending like | did not see her, but she was here to see me,
so how could she watchwalk in without doing anything? She trotted over to stopin my tracks. "Is your
vision that poor?"
| looked indifferently at her. "How can | help you, Petra?"
She raised her eyebrows. "Let's have a chat."
| did not want to have a chat with her. She was aware of that too, that was why she cstraight to my
company’s entrance to wait for me. She knew that | would definitely agree to have a chat with her because |
would be worried she would make a scene at the entrance of the company.

"Don’t worry. I'm not here to argue with you." Petra crossed her arms. "Let's go to the restaurant across the
street.”
| nodded blandly.
We walked into the restaurant and took a seat. Petra went straight to the point. "Who gave you that
information?"
| tapped my fingers on the table. "Only you know how many sins you committed, Petra. Which information
are you referring to specifically?"
Petra narrowed her eyes. "I must admit that we're alike in so many ways, Wanda. We're able to endure and be
hard-headed, not stopping until we achieve our goal. You've ruined my hard work all these years."
After a pause, she continued, "The unpleasant past of mine has been uncovered by you. My biggest wish in life is
to marry Grayson and be with him openly, but it's no longer possible now. You have avenged your child."
