The Woman From Hell
Chapter 838

Chapter 838

We were at the entrance of a mall and there were many people. Having an argument here would lead to unnecessary trouble.

I did not want to quarrel with her, so I coldly said," There's no use quarreling. We’re not kindergarten children anymore. Please be a little more mature, Ms. Reed.”

I planned to leave after saying that.

She had no plans of letting me go and stood in my way once more.

I frowned. "Do you still love Theo or are you just unhappy?"

She froze. Clearly, the question had confused her.

I waved the car keys in my hand and said, "I'm tired of looking at you like this. You're probably tired after all these years too. Since you can’t let go, why don't you come with me?"

Only by letting go of one's obsessions would certain things come to an end.

She was worried about attracting a crowd, so she got into the car with me.

Although she pulled a long face throughout the whole

journey, she did not say anything.

I glanced at her and said faintly, "I took my driving test not long after marrying Theo. He had just taken over Grant Corporation at the time and needed to attend social gatherings every day. As his most trusted aide, Keith needed to attend the social gatherings too. When the driver left with Keith, Theo was left without a driver. He did not like taking cabs o r calling a chauffeur, so he told me to

take a driving test. He said I got off work early every day anyway, so when he had social gatherings, I could be his driver."

She sneered. "He merely treated you as his servant. No husband would take their wife to a social gathering."

I smiled faintly and was nonchalant about her remark. "I thought so too at the time. I thought he didn't love m e at all and merely treated me as a servant he could order around as he liked. However, the truth was that he had merely brought me to two social gatherings. His main purpose was to buy me a car so I could drive myself to and from work."

Cindy raised her doubt. "You’re so imaginative."

I helplessly smiled. "When Theo loves someone, he doesn’t do it ostentatiously. He's very busy and can't drive me to and fro from work all the time. Worried that it would be unsafe for me to take a cab on my own, he got me to learn how to drive."

Cindy sneered. "You think too much!" "You can understand it that way. I think that you may be right about this incident, that I was merely thinking too much,” I said with a smile.

The car came to a stop at the traffic light intersection and I continued, "I took over an entertainment company as soon as I graduated. Within two years, I managed to build up the company. You think Grandma was helping me then, right?"

Cindy let out a mocking smile. "What? You think you're that capable?"

I was amused. "Grant Corporation belongs to the Grants, after all. When Grandma handed Grant Corporation to Theo, it meant that she would not meddle in its affairs anymore. When I was asked to manage the entertainment company, though its scale was small, it had a lot of potential. Besides,

Grant Corporation needed a big entertainment company. If Grandma hadn't helped me, how else do you think a fresh grad newbie like me was able to expand the entertainment company?”

Cindy seemed to have thought of something, and her expression grew even more sullen.

I started the car again and said blandly, "Be it professionalism or business, I was quite poor at them a t the time. That's why Theo took my place and brought me along to social gatherings. He left no stone unturned when teaching me. It was only when I improved did he fully hand it over to me to run the company by myself."

After a pause, I continued, "In fact, throughout this whole journey, he has been teaching me constantly. H e hoped that as his wife, I could grow and fight alongside him. He takes good care of you, but it's all out of responsibility and obligation. Besides, based on your understanding of Theo's character, do you think h e would've accepted Grandma’s arrangement to marry me if he really loved you?"
