I shook my head. "I want to know who I've offended too. There's no answer to this question. Why don't you tell me what you know, Ms. Reed?"
"I didn’t find much. Theowy has been looking in the wrong direction. The man who took you into the elevator and the man who brought you into the morgue are two different people. Besides, both of them are not necessarily men either."
I pursed my lips. "Can you tell me where you got all this information, Ms. Reed?"
Cindy scoffed. "Is that important? What's important now is for you to think of a way not to drag Theowy into this so he won't get himself hurt."
She was too long-winded. Could she not say everything at once instead of getting me to ask her question by question?
I asked with a face full of impatience." What else do you know?”
Seeing how hesitant Cindy was at telling me, I narrowed my eyes. "Cindy Reed, if you really care about your Theowy, then you'll tell me everything without reservation."
The main reason she asked me out was to make me feel small. Telling me about the morgue was only secondary.
When she could not get an advantage on me, she felt grumpy about it.
Therefore, she said with a face full of mockery, "You're so selfish, Wanda Lane. Theowy has taken risks for you time and again. He's so nice to you, yet you left his side twice. You don’t actually love him, do
you? You left his side twice and returned again because you couldn't meet someone who treats you better and is more willing to spend money on you than him, huh?"
I was speechless.
I could not meet someone who was more willing to spend money on me than Theo?
Was I a gold digger to her, then?
I sneered and said without a single reservation, "Cindy Reed, you're the one who's put him in danger several times.
