Chapter 1203
| raised my eyebrows. "Her substitute?”
"Don't you know that you've been a substitute all along?”
Elena coldly snorted. "She is Theo's first crush, but they weren't able to be together, s o Theo found you to be
her substitute."
She continued after a pause, "If Theo's current wife were Cindy, I'd at least feel better about it. Although she
can't compare toin terms of her looks and figure, she has a superior family background and is well-matched
with Theo. I can't compete with her on that. But | can never accept his wife being you. You have nothing to
compete against me. You don't even have a family. What right do you have to be with Theo?"
I put down the coffee cup and looked out the window.
Back then, the Louises were concerned about their reputation and the fact that | was adamant about not having
our relationship exposed to the public. Up until now, the public still thought that Cindy was the Louises' daughter.

Elena was one of the clueless outsiders.
| looked at her, not planning to tell her the truth. "Don't you think you're too full of yourself, Ms. Mandez? Not
everything in this world happens according to your imagination. A person's status and identity will only be
considered in a loveless marriage. Theo and 1 have been together for so many years. Even if you snatch him
away now, you'll still live under my shadow for the rest of your life."
| continued after a pause, "You're still young, so take the chance to find a suitable man and go on a date. Or else,
it'll be too late once you realize you've wasted your youth.”
Elena sneered and looked atin disdain. "I suspect you didn't even listen to what | was saying earlier. Are you
sure Theo truly loves you? Is there really love between you?"
| frowned. "I know it best. | don’t need to argue with you about such things."
"Really?"
Elena said maliciously, "I think you're just afraid to argue with me. In fact, you're unsure if he really loves you.
After all, love can sometimes be faked."
If she had said these things tothree years ago, then | might actually get affected by them. However, that
was not the case now. | simply found her absurd.
"If you want to get a man, Ms. Mandez, shouldn't you be concerned if he'll fall in love with you or not? Why are
you so concerned about whether he lovesor not? Even if he doesn't, then what's the point if he ends up
falling in love with someone else other than you?”
Elena's expression sank. "I just think you're pitiful."
| picked up my phone and glanced at the time. It was tto go back.
| picked up the coffee to finish the rest of it before saying blandly to Elena, "First of all, thank you for thinking of
me, but letremind you one thing as a friend. You really don't need to keep givingtrouble because |
simply don’t care. You'll only end up being the one getting angry."
| continued after a pause, "Just because you're mad at Theo for ignoring you, you ctoto vent your anger

straight away. That's what you're planning to do, right? But I'm sorry to say that the more you behave this way,
the more | won't give him to you because you don’t deserve it."
"Do you deserve it, then?" Elena burst out in anger.
"More than you, at least."
| raised my eyebrows and continued, “ There is one more thing that I'd like to speak to you about. | know the
matter between Cindy and Theo better than you. I can tell you for sure that even if | don't exist, Theo will never
marry Cindy. Since h e married me, that just means that I'm worth it and am worthy of him. There'll always be
someone who's better looking and more talented, but Theo will only love one person from start to finish."
"You!" Elena was furious.
Giving her no chance to speak, | said with a snicker, "Your talent and stunning looks are plus points for you, Ms.
Mandez. But if you're merely using your talent and good looks to make a man fall in love with you, then that man
will only love your talent and beauty. Once a woman who is more talented and more beautiful than you appears
one day, he'll immediately love her and not you. Maybe you should start improving on your inner beauty instead. «
