Chapter 754 I looked indifferently at Quinn without saying a word.
She continued, "Please, can you stop pestering Theo? The Louises and Schumans can take care of you, so why must you ask Theo to take care of you? Do you know how badly Grant Corporation has been affected by the rumors ever since you returned? And do you know why Theo is so busy?" "That's enough!" Theo stopped her from continuing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI glanced at him and said to Quinn, "If you have something to say, then pour it all out today." She sneered. "Matthew snatched away several contracts that were Grant Corporation's at first. And with the gossip spreading out there, Grant Corporation's stocks have dropped several percentage points." i After a pause, she continued, "Yes, he's fine with whatever that is happening to Grant Corporation, but can you really bring yourself to watch his efforts all these years go down the drain? 9 "Also, that child belongs to the Lynches. If you can't give him a child, why are you subjecting him to the slanders of others? They're saying that he's infertile, and in order to compete with the Lynches for Munchkin's custody, he'll have to sacrifice his friendship, the prestige, and the reputation he so painstaking built up over the years in Whaldorf City. You will completely ruin him if you continue to stay by his side." 12 My complexion turned a little pale after hearing what she said. 1 Theo quickly walked to my side and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. He looked at Quinn with a cold expression. "Get lost." Whether it was his expression at the moment or his words, it was clear that he was currently very angry. Quinn was afraid of this version of him and stepped back subconsciously. She fell silent for a few minutes before turning around and leaving. 1 My body was shaking a little. It was clearly still late autumn now, but I would not stop sweating. Theo kept holdingin a deadly embrace. 2 "Wanda, don't listen to a word she said. Even if you didn't exist, Matthew and I would never be friends. Only one person can be the best in the business field i n Whaldorf City. Besides, Grant Corporation isn't as fragile as she described it to be. You must remember that you are my lawful wife. We'll tackle all problems together, hand in hand." 4 I nodded, but my body was still shaking violently.
The deep sense of powerlessness from three years ago was felt once again.
Theo carriedback to the room and we lay on the bed, embracing each other tightly.
I felt a sense of security and said in a trembling voice," Theo, I might actually turn into a lunatic. You shouldn't waste your ton me." In fact, I was more afraid than anyone else about turning into a lunatic. I did not want to be unable to recognize anyone and lose the ability to take care of myself.
If that day actually came, I would end my life while I was still in the right mind instead of allowing myself and those I loved to suffer.
Theo huggedeven tighter and gently kissed my hair, saying tenderly, "That day will never come. With Munchkin and I by your side, I believe you'll heal. Our lives will only get better." He was comfortingas well as himself.

I raised my eyes and looked at his chin, feeling a pang in my heart. "Theo, you think you're indebted to me, but I'm indebted to you too. The child and Cecilia's deaths will hauntfor life. Perhaps I may never get over it. Matthew is obsessed with me, and unless I die, I'll never get rid of him. After all, I owe him my life. Maybe we should just... break up."
I believed that Theo would take care offorever if I beca lunatic one day actual should not be so selfish. He deserved a happy life. Even if I did not beca lunatic, I should not continue to drag him down.
I could sense Theo's body turning rigid. The strength with which he was holdingwas like he was trying to merge our bodies together. I dared not look at his face as I was afraid that I would waver.
