The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1078

Chapter 1078

I had a bit of a headache and asked while looking at him, "Do you need that much for emotionaldamages?”

I knew that his clothes were all custom-made and each one of them was frighteningly expensive. Hewas surely not going to wear them anymore after I threw u p on them, so I had no excuse not to payfor them. However, asking me to pay half a million dollars for emotional damages was too much. Irefused to accept it.

Theo smiled slightly. "Do you know how much I could've earned if you hadn't delayed so much ofmy time?”

After a long silence, I said, "I didn't ask you t o come."

"What did you say?" Theo's countenance was suddenly terrifyingly grim.

I pursed my lips. "I said I wasn't the one who told you to come."

I was in the wrong, after all, so I did not sound very confident saying that. My voice also graduallysoftened toward the end.

I felt very troubled. I received only a few thousand dollars in salary a month. Where was I going toget 700,00 dollars to pay him?

Theo sneered. "Are you saying that I shouldn't have saved your number and picked up your call?"

I lowered my eyes and mumbled, "1 didn’t ask you to pick up."

I had sudden flashbacks of him picking Elena up and walking away this afternoon. I felt a lump inmy throat as I suddenly said, "I'm surprised you actually ignored the stunning lady beside you andanswered my call. You even came to see m e.’

"Wanda Lane!"

Theo got cranky. "You sure know how to make me angry. Looks like your head is full of shit.”

Maybe it was the effects of the alcohol that I grew a little emotional. I was no longer as rational as Inormally was. I looked aggrievedly at him and said, "Yes, my head is full of shit, while Elena's headmust be full of gold. She’s better than me in all aspects and matches you more than me. Since youlike her so much, why do you still care about me, then?"

I had more or less made something out of nothing from my words but did not realize i 1.1 just felttremendously wronged and upset.

Everyone was blaming me for pushing him away and for not knowing what was good for me.

I was the one who got hurt and the one who lost my son. Why should I endure all the pain andmake everything seem fine?

Was I supposed to do that simply because h e loved me?

Just because he loved me, was I supposed t o pretend like nothing had happened even though hehad hurt me?

Would that not be too unfair, then?

When I did not receive Theo’s reply after a very long time, I raised my eyes to look at him.

I saw him staring fixedly at me with a pair of pitch-black eyes and felt a little uneasy. Isubconsciously avoided his gaze.

He reached out to pinch my chin and forced me to look into his eyes. "You took the liberty to pushme to her. I was only doing what you wanted me to do. Shouldn’t you be happy? Why are you

accusing me now instead?"

"Yes!” Tears welled up in my eyes. "I'm happy. I'm so happy I can die."

Theo pinched my chin even harder and said in a cold voice, "You don't need to use her to get at me.You know there's nothing going on between us.”

He continued after a pause, “I can wait until you get past the hurdle in your heart. Even if you cannever get past the hurdle, I'll still keep waiting. I have all the time in the world to wait for you.'

My eyes were completely crimson. "I don’t want you to wait for me!

"I admit that I feel horrible pushing you to Elena, but so what? Time is the best medicine. I know Ican let you go one day. I don’t want you to pester me when I replace someone I want to spend the restof my life with, impacting the quiet and peaceful life that I so painstakingly earned for myself. That’swhy I ruthlessly pushed you to Elena.

"Isn’t it great that we’ll both replace people more suitable for us? I didn't call you tonight. Shannon tookmy phone and called you. I had no knowledge of it at all. If I knew, then I wouldn’t have let youcome over and throw up all over you. I didn't do it on purpose. If you want me to pay for it, then I'llpay for it. But I can't accept the ridiculous price you stated.”
