StarNovelChapter 470
Finally, Quinn could no longer smile. The atmosphere quickly turned awkward.
However, | did not find it awkward and laughed out loud as | asked, "Why aren't you guys eating?"
| paused for a while before saying, "I'm full, and it's late. | should be heading to the office now. You guys can
continue eating."
When | finished speaking, | stood to leave.
Theo frowned and grabbed my arm. "What do you mean you're full?"
He thought for a while before he continued, "All you had was two mouthfuls of oatmeal. Even a kitten would
have had more than you did."
I'll be damned...
Why was it so difficult forto act cool?
A corner of Quinn's lips suddenly twitched upward in a stiff motion as she said, "Wanda, you should eat more to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnurture your poor health."
| glanced at her before | picked up my spoon and continued eating my oatmeal.
Two minutes later, Quinn finished her oatmeal and said, "Theo, I'd like to visit your company with Cindy.
Take us along with you when you're done." "lI won't be heading to the office yet because I'm taking Wanda to the
doctor's." Theo frowned. "Besides, why d o you guys want to go to my office?”
Quinn smiled. "Nothing much. We just want to take a look. Everyone's family here. Are you afraid that we'll steal
trade secrets?"
"How can she be considered as family?" | asked without hesitation as | pointed at Cindy.
Quinn was beginning to lose her patience. "Then aren't | family? Can't | have her accompany me?"
| scoffed. "You make the decisions here, Quinn. We'll d o whatever you want."
Quinn was a haughty person as well. It must have been difficult for her to withstand both my and Theo's
mocking this early in the morning. | would have thought she was Mother Mary if she continued putting up with
us.
She slammed her fork down onto the table and said agitatedly, "Wanda, | can leave if you're not open to me
staying here. You don't have to speak toin such a snarky manner.”
| curled my lips upward. "Quinn, what are you talking about? I'm more than delighted to have you stay with me.
How could | want to kick you out? I didn't mean anything by what | said just now. You're my and Theo's cousin. Of
course, you'll get to call the shots while you're staying here. | wouldn't dare say
anything even if you got Theo a mistress."
The first half of my speech had soothed Quinn's emotions slightly, but the last sentence caused her to implode.
"Wanda Lane, what are you saying?"
"I'm talking about her." | did not hesitate to point at Cindy again. "You can go asking around in Salt City, Quinn.
There's not one person there who doesn't know she’s shameless enough to attach herself to a man who has a
wife. Do you know that I'm Theo's wife? It's alright that you don't want to helpget rid of these mistresses,
but you even brought one back hwith you. And you're acting like you want to be best friends with the
mistress."
| laughed coldly and continued saying, "Thank God | have a good temper and don't want to hold a grudge
against you, Quinn. If | held a grudge and left home, your reputation would be torn to shreds
if word got out to the public. Oh, no, | meant that the entire Grant family would have their reputations
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdestroyed."
"You... You..." Quinn had no idea how to refute me.
What was there for her to refute?
She was in the wrong regarding this, and there was nothing she could say to defend herself.
| could not be bothered to say anything else and stood t o leave the dining room.
"Theo, aren't you going to do something about her?"
Quinn yelled loudly.
Theo's angry voice rang out behind me. "Quinn, | hope you're not treatingas an idiot. There is a limit to my
patience as well.”
That was all he said before he left the dining room. When he cupstairs and sawchanging in the
bedroom, he huggedfrom the back and kissed my cheek as he said, "We won't lower ourselves to their
level."
I nodded.
