After I ended the call, there was a knock on the door.
Was it Caroline?
I wondered and got up to open the door.
What I did not expect was for Delia to actually be outside the door.
Seeing that I had opened the door, she immediately picked up her feet and entered the room. Her actions were so quick that I did not even have the time to react.
Seeing her do this, my expression instantly changed.
Marius was right. She was really pushing her luck.
“Do you need something?”
Delia noted my displeased expression but did not take it seriously. "Wanda, I heard your call,” she said coldly.
I was not surprised that Delia would do this. Someone who could destroy another’s family had a low threshold when it came to morals. It was not unusual that they would eavesdrop on a call.
Seeing that I was ignoring her, Delia angrily spoke again, “Wanda, I don’t want to criticize you, but I must give you a kind reminder considering our friendship.”
I snorted coldly. I continued with whatever I was doing and ignored her still.
"It doesn't matter if you’re not going to say anything. I’ll do the talking. You have too many friends of the opposite sex. You’re going to trouble President Grant a lot like this. You’re his wife. Shouldn't you take the initiative to keep your distance from other men?"
I turned to look at her. My eyes were cold, like a sharp blade as it shot at Delia invisibly.
"Are you done?"
"Wanda, I—"
"Shut up. Let me finish it for you." I did not give Delia a chance to continue. "Delia, you’re finally showing your true colors."
