"There's no use being envious. Some things are just meant to be." A gloating voice came from beside me.
I turned my head to see Zedd's sarcastic stare. I asked i n a deep tone, "Do you see me getting envious, President Nichols?"
"Stop pretending, Wanda. Your jealousy is written all over your face. It’s true, Cindy is now Petra's daughter. Everything has changed now, whether it's identity or wealth. She's not comparable to ordinary people anymore. Only she is worthy of standing next to him."
Zedd glowed with pride as he looked at me with a provoking stare.
I took a glass of juice from the server's hand, took a sip, and raised a brow at him. I said, "You think that I'm not worthy to stand beside Theo, yet you're worthy of standing beside Miss Reed?"
I gave a few looks at Cindy who was surrounded by the crowd and continued to say, "At least Theo is still the father to the child inside of me. What about you? You were barely considered to be Miss Reed's little attendant back then. Who knows if you can even keep this identity in the future? You must be feeling inferior and terrified deep in your heart. Is that why you always come to me to vent out?"
"You...” Zedd did not think I would frustrate him. He was too angry to speak a word.
I ignored him and walked toward the hall with the glass in my hand.
"You stay right there!" Zedd stretched out his hand to pull me. The glass of juice I was holding splashed on the cuffs of his suit due to the great force.
"Wanda! Did you do it on purpose?" Zedd's eyes went red as his body shook with fury.
Looking at the orange juice that was spilled on his cuffs, I said helplessly, "You were the one who pulled me. Why are you blaming me?"
"I don't care. You're responsible for cleaning it." He stretched his dirty arms in front of me with an aggressive look.
"You sure you want me to clean it now? You, President Nichols, are wearing stained clothes on such an important occasion. You'll look even shabbier in front of Miss Reed," I raised my brows and questioned.
Farther away, Cindy happened to look in our direction. She scanned past me coldly. Her eyes were full of disdain. Next, her eyes fell on Zedd and she made a 'go' gesture with her hand.
