The Woman From Hell -
Chapter 430
Chapter 430
I looked at Matthew and said, "It's not good for Aunt Nietzsche to cry like this. Bring her upstairs andcomfort her."
Matthew nodded and helped Nancy upstairs.
Quinn and I were left in the living room. I was still confused when I saw her indifferent expression.'What were her feelings for Marcus, then?"
Quinn looked at me. "Aren't you going back?"
I definitely could not stay here after all that had happened, so I nodded and answered, "I'm leavingnow."
"Don't you think that I was too cruel for exposing the truth to Nancy?” Quinn asked all of a sudden.
I was taken aback but immediately understood why she was asking me this. "Since you asked thatquestion, it means that even you're unsure if you did the right thing or not. Am I right?"
Quinn chuckled lightly. "You're quite honest.’
I lowered my eyes and said indifferently, "But since Marcus didn't expose the truth, he probablydidn't want Aunt Nietzsche to live in regret for the rest of her life. From his point of view, you reallyshouldn't have told her."
Quinn snorted coldly. "But from my point of view, I had to tell her the truth because I wasted my bestyears for her. If I couldn't even get fair compensation i n the end, I'd be the loser in this game. Infact, I blame Marcus Zimmer and Nancy Nietzsche for all this because if it weren't for them, Iwouldn't have borne so much infamy and wasted my youth."
I wanted to laugh when I heard what she said.
"You did it voluntarily, didn't you?" I said without hesitation, "You helped your husband preserveAunt Nietzsche's reputation and he gave you the shares of Zimmer Corporations in exchange. Youboth worked together well and he provided you with enough care throughout your time together.Although it might not b e love, you should still be grateful."
"Am I still your cousin?!" Quinn was offended by my words and looked slightly angry. "You’respeaking up for an outsider, huh? I seriously don't know why Theo fell for you."
I shrugged. "He’s probably blind."
Quinn was a person who was rational and indifferent. Such a person was extremely selfish. Shecared only for her own comfort in everything she did. As for other people's thoughts and feelings,she would not be bothered about those.
Since we did not share the same view and could not get along, I did not want to talk to her anymore.Hence, I left the Zimmers' house immediately.
Back home, Miss Woods mentioned that Theo was not home yet so I gave him a call.
No one picked up so I assumed he was busy. I then had dinner alone and went to rest.
After resting for about an hour, I got up to settle the remaining work I had for the day.
When Theo came in, I was searching for something on my laptop. He came and hugged me. "Youseem to be s o hardworking. Your husband is going to feel guilty."
"What were you busy with? You came back..." I stopped halfway.
Theo noticed my weird expression and asked in confusion, "What is it?"
I saw the strand of hair on the button of his shirt." Nothing."
I then pushed him away and entered the bedroom.
He followed and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." I took out the pajamas that Miss Woods had placed in the closet earlier today. "It's gettinglate. I'll take a shower and go to bed."
Theo's gaze darkened as he grabbed me by the arm. " Something's not right here. Tell me what'swrong."
"What do you mean?" I faked a smile. "You're the one who's acting weird. You’re just too tired fromwork." "Are you mad at me for coming home late? And the fact that I didn't pick up your call?’ Theoasked cautiously.
I shook my head. "Won't I be too petty if I were to get mad at every single thing?"
Although he still felt that I was a little unhappy, he did not stop me from taking a shower. 1
