Chapter 425

I marched over, grabbed his phone, and put it on speakerphone.

"Theowy, there are some things between me and her that need to be settled." Cindy’s voice wasfilled with grievance. "Besides, I didn't go looking for trouble with her. I only wanted to talk to herproperly, 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 nowon. You can talk to me about it, but only on the phone."

"Theowy!" Cindy sounded like she was about to cry. " Why are you so cold toward me now?"

Theo closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were filled with infinite iciness. "I don'thave to say too much about whose hands my baby died in, and there are some things that I don'twant to talk about. All you need to know is someone needs to pay the price for my baby's death.There are some responsibilities and relationships that I'm willing to forsake because of that.”

Even though Theo said he did not want to spell things out, his intentions were clear enough thateven 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 theycommitted."

"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.

I 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 goher way."

I pouted and said nothing.

"Are you satisfied with what I said just now?" Theo walked behind me and snaked his arms aroundmy waist.

I 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 andblow-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 didnot 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 asMason did ask him to attend something urgent prior t o this...

"Aren't you going to answer the call?" I asked faintly.

Theo was nonchalant. "No.” u n

He was just so irritatingly stubborn!

After ten minutes when my hair was dry, he left. As I continued with work, I saw a document aboutcooperative promotion and thought that I should ask Matthew about his progress in acquiring hiscompany. I was afraid that he might be in a meeting now, so I called his assistant.

The call went through quickly, only for her to tell me that something had happened in his householdand h e had been absent from work for a few days now.

After we ended the conversation, I was reminded of Marcus. A sense of foreboding flooded myheart. Did h e...

When I heard from Tyler last time about Marcus being diagnosed with end-stage cancer, I thoughtthat he would still have some time left...

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I got. At this time, Theo called me and 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 Istill have some things to settle here. I'll be there right away as soon as I’m done here." Theo's voicewas laced with anxiousness.
