Elena let out a heart-wrenching cry, yelling at her angrily, "Who do you think you are? Who are you to tell me what to do? Why can't I fight for what I want? Besides, Wanda clearly said that she didn't want him and pushed Mr. Grant to me, so how can you say that I'm snatching him away? I think you're just jealous of me because I have both looks and talent."
Their argument amused me a little. It was n o different than kindergarten kids quarreling.
I pursed my lips and mildly said, "It's hard t o control yourself when you love someone. You're not wrong to love Theo, and I'm up for a fair competition. I won't stop you."
"Did you hit your head, Wanda?"
Lally looked at me with a face full of speechlessness, "How can you be so generous when someone is eyeing your man?"
I shrugged. "Actually, we don't have the power to decide when it comes to matters like this. Theo is the only one who can decide. I trust him fully. If he has a change of heart and falls in love with Elena, then all I can say is that our fate has come to an end. If he doesn’t love Elena and doesn't give her a single chance, then doesn’t it mean that the man I chose is worth it?"
Lally froze, then nodded and said, "You're not wrong.”
Elena glared at me and said, "You're too confident, Wanda Lane. A man and a woman will turn into strangers once the excitement wears off."
I laughed. "In that case, the excitement between Theo and I has gone on long enough, don't you think?"
"You!” Elena was furious at having no way o f retorting.
I shook my head with a face full of helplessness. "Like I said, if you're not happy about it, then let's compete fairly."
The argument was so loud that it attracted other people.
When Jordan and Theo arrived, what they saw was Lally and I standing on one side looking carefree while Elena was sitting on the ground in a wretched state.
It was clear who was the bully and who was the victim.
