The Woman From Hell

I looked at Cindy faintly and asked with a smirk, "Why not? Even if there's no kid, Theo would never divorce me to be with you. Otherwise, we would have gotten divorced long ago, wouldn't we?"

Those words stung Cindy. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Theo not wanting to divorce me was the truth and she had to admit it too.

"That's what you think." Even so, she continued, "I'm not going to watch you and Theowy be together for the rest of your lives, much less watch the baby in your stomach be born."

Her tone was vicious, and I clutched my stomach. I raised my guard higher. "Miss Reed, are you implying that you're above the law and can kill someone now? You sure have gotten arrogant."

"Why don’t you wait and see?" Cindy raised her chin, reaching peak arrogance. She acted as if there was nothing in the world that she could not do.

I furrowed my brows and did not say anything else.

Cindy did not want to continue arguing with me either, so she turned around to go into the private room. There was someone standing behind her. It was Nadia, who went out just now.

The two of them bumped into each other and the bag that Nadia was carrying fell onto the floor. The bag was carrying a box of crayfish. The lid of the box fell and some crawfish scurried out.

Nadia hurriedly picked up the bag and got up from the floor. "Miss Reed, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do this."

"Are you blind?" Cindy was furious and shouted, "You obviously bumped into me on purpose."

Nadia continued to argue aggrievedly, "I really didn't mean to do it."

Cindy did not care whether she did it on purpose or not since Nadia had indeed made her trip over. She looked at the bag Nadia was carrying, grabbed it, and threw it on the floor. Cindy proceeded to step on it a few times. Her behavior was outrageous and abominable.

"Why you!" Nadia got angry as well.

Cindy snorted coldly. "Who would eat crayfish? I want to have the buns from South Waterside Pavilion. Go and get them for me. Otherwise, I'll tell Mason that you bumped into me on purpose so that he'll know what a vicious woman you are."

"Miss Reed, please don't go too far," Nadia said through her clenched teeth.

"You don’t want to go?" Cindy reached out to push the door of the private room. "Then I'll let Mason know your true colors."

Nadia hurriedly grabbed her hand and said with a face full of reluctance, "I'll go! I'll go, okay?"

She was not afraid that Cindy would unjustly accuse her in front of the three men inside, but she was worried that if she caused more trouble for them, they would not like her as much anymore.

When Cindy saw that she was finally willing to listen t o her, she felt a lot better. "Then go! What are you still standing here for?"

Nadia swallowed her stomach full of resentment and turned around to leave.

When she was gone, Cindy looked at me and said mockingly, "Aren't you supposed to be a caring person? Why didn't you speak up for her?"

I let out a cold laugh. "Why do you care?"

After I said that, I pushed open the door of the private room and walked in.

I was no saint. Besides, Nadia was a much more calculating person compared to Cindy, so she obviously did not need my help to speak up for her. That was why I just let the two of them argue it out.

There was just one thing that concerned me. 'Nadia clearly adored Theo when she was in Salt City, so why has she shifted her attention to Mason?

'Did Mason speak out for her because he likes her?'

The more I thought about it, the worse I felt. I sat down next to Theo and buried my face in his neck.

Theo looked at me and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"

I did not say anything and just looked up at Cindy.

"Don’t be mad." Theo stroked my head, "Don't get angry over someone who doesn't deserve it." His words caused Cindy's face to stiffen.
