Chapter 381

After I hung up, Theo raised his brows and asked." You're going to Salt City for a business trip?"

I nodded my head.

Theo did not say anything more. After dinner, we went back to our room. He said, "Looks like theemployees in your company are fond of you."

"They only say those things for show." I snickered." Most of them didn't even acknowledge me whenI took over the president's position. Before I let my achievements speak for myself, they’ll continueto doubt me."

If it had not been for me making a bet with the senior management, I might have lost the position ofpresident in a couple of days.

Hence, I had to make something of myself as soon as possible. Otherwise, Matthew would be put ina difficult spot.

Theo raised his hand and touched my face. "I believe i n your capability.”

I nodded my head faintly. I did not wear a happy expression on my face.

I went to the bathroom to take a shower. Theo was sitting on the sofa reading some documentswhen I

came out. He put down the folder he was holding." The child in Cindy's womb is definitely not mine.You can rest assured about that."

"Why are you suddenly talking about this?" I was slightly surprised.

Theo was not someone who would explain himself over the same thing repeatedly. It was up toothers to believe him or not. He would not be bothered to explain more.

"I’m just afraid you don't believe me." Theo stood up and walked toward me. "And you’d keep adistance from me."

I pursed my lips. "I trust you."

"Really?"

I smiled and nodded my head. "I truly believe in you about this matter. But it's hard to say about theothers."

Theo let out a small sigh. "Then are there any matters that you're unsure of? Don't hesitate to askme. I’ll never lie to you."

Never lie to me?

My eyes turned cold, and I asked placidly, "Have you ever slept with Cindy?"

"No," Theo replied quickly, but that was not the truth. H e was lying. 1

I gave him a mocking smile. "Alright." "Don’t you believe me?" Theo grabbed my arm and askedanxiously.

I did not want to get caught up with him in this matter. I smiled and said, "I do."

I did not really care about it anymore. I had to admit that the death of my child changed me a lot.Now, I no longer walked down blind alleys. Doing that was exhausting. I was worn out, and I did notwant myself t o get even wearier.

There was unhappiness written all over Theo's face." But you look like you don't believe me."

I curled the corners of my lips. "I'm going to suspect that you're lying to me if you're in such a hurryto make me believe you."

Theo opened his mouth. He wanted to say something but eventually kept quiet. He looked at me,annoyed.

It was time to sleep. I had to wake up early the next morning, so I had nothing in my mind. Soon, Iwas feeling sleepy.

However, there was a restless man who did not plan to let me sleep early.

"I have to wake up early."

"Come on... I'll have to put in some effort to get you pregnant soon..."

He realized that he had said the wrong thing.

I lowered my eyes and said placidly, "Before I avenge my child, I'll not get pregnant with another."

"Leave this to me. I’ll not let our child die in vain. I’ll get even with those responsible," Theo said in adeep voice.

I did not want to discuss this. I only nodded my head calmly.

It did not matter if Theo was going to seek revenge or not. I would not count on him, let aloneabandon my plans because of what he said.
