We were at the entrance of a mall and there were many people. Having an argument here would lead to unnecessary trouble.
I did not want to quarrel with her, so I coldly said," There's no use quarreling. We’re not kindergarten children anymore. Please be a little more mature, Ms. Reed.”
I planned to leave after saying that.
She had no plans of letting me go and stood in my way once more.
I frowned. "Do you still love Theo or are you just unhappy?"
She froze. Clearly, the question had confused her.
I waved the car keys in my hand and said, "I'm tired of looking at you like this. You're probably tired after all these years too. Since you can’t let go, why don't you come with me?"
Only by letting go of one's obsessions would certain things come to an end.
She was worried about attracting a crowd, so she got into the car with me.
Although she pulled a long face throughout the whole
journey, she did not say anything.
Cindy let out a mocking smile. "What? You think you're that capable?"
I was amused. "Grant Corporation belongs to the Grants, after all. When Grandma handed Grant Corporation to Theo, it meant that she would not meddle in its affairs anymore. When I was asked to manage the entertainment company, though its scale was small, it had a lot of potential. Besides, Grant Corporation needed a big entertainment company. If Grandma hadn't helped me, how else do you think a fresh grad newbie like me was able to expand the entertainment company?”
Cindy seemed to have thought of something, and her expression grew even more sullen.
I started the car again and said blandly, "Be it professionalism or business, I was quite poor at them a t the time. That's why Theo took my place and brought me along to social gatherings. He left no stone unturned when teaching me. It was only when I improved did he fully hand it over to me to run the company by myself."
After a pause, I continued, "In fact, throughout this whole journey, he has been teaching me constantly. H e hoped that as his wife, I could grow and fight alongside him. He takes good care of you, but it's all out of responsibility and obligation. Besides, based on your understanding of Theo's character, do you think h e would've accepted Grandma’s arrangement to marry me if he really loved you?"
