| marched over, grabbed his phone, and put it on speakerphone.
"Theowy, there are sthings betweenand her that need to be settled." Cindy's voice was filled with
grievance. "Besides, | didn't go looking for trouble with her. | only wanted to talk to her properly, but she refused
and said really nasty things to me."
Irritation flashed on Theo's face. “No matter what it is between you and her, I'll take over from now on. You can
talk toabout it, but only on the phone."
"Theowy!" Cindy sounded like she was about to cry. " Why are you so cold towardnow?"
Theo closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were filled with infinite iciness. "I don't have to say
too much about whose hands my baby died in, and there are sthings that | don't want to talk about. All you
need to know is someone needs to pay the price for my baby's death. There are sresponsibilities and

Even though Theo said he did not want to spell things out, his intentions were clear enough that even someone
of Cindy's caliber would understand what he meant.
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Theo lowered his gaze and added faintly, "There's nothing to talk about regarding your mother. Even little
children understand the principle of paying the price for the wrongdoings they committed."
"My mother didn’t do anything wrong!" Cindy started lying to herself.
Theo scoffed. "Go tell that to the police, then."
Right after, he hung up.
| looked at him and was flabbergasted. "Are you really that heartless toward Cindy now?"
Theo placed his phone back into his pocket. "She should know by now that not everything has to go her way."
| pouted and said nothing.
"Are you satisfied with what | said just now?" Theo walked behindand snaked his arms around my waist.
| pursed my lips. "It was just alright."
Theo kissed my face. "As long as you're satisfied. Go sit down on the sofa. I'll get the hairdryer and blow-dry your
hair."
When he was blow-drying my hair, his phone rang, but he did not pick up.
It was either Mason or Zedd calling. Perhaps it was Cindy again. However, it did not matter if he did not answer
Cindy's call.
However, if it was either Mason or Zedd calling, it would not be so nice of him to ignore their calls as Mason did
ask him to attend something urgent prior t o this...
"Aren't you going to answer the call?" | asked faintly.
Theo was nonchalant. "No.” un
He was just so irritatingly stubborn!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter ten minutes when my hair was dry, he left. As | continued with work, | saw a document about cooperative
promotion and thought that | should ask Matthew about his progress in acquiring his company. | was afraid that
he might be in a meeting now, so | called his assistant.
The call went through quickly, only for her to tellthat something had happened in his household and h e had
been absent from work for a few days now.
After we ended the conversation, | was reminded of Marcus. A sense of foreboding flooded my heart. Did h e...
When | heard from Tyler last tabout Marcus being diagnosed with end-stage cancer, | thought that he would
still have stleft...
The more | thought about it, the more uneasy | got. At this time, Theo calledand that phone call
confirmed that uneasy feeling in my heart.
"Wanda, go to the central hospital right now. My cousin has just left. Marcus has passed away, but | still have
sthings to settle here. I'll be there right away as soon as I'm done here." Theo's voice was laced with
anxiousness.
