It was obvious they did not expect me to make such a decision.
Cindy pulled me over with an incredulous look on her face. “Have you gone mad, Wanda? Why would you agree to that? What if…” she spoke halfway and stopped.
I knew what she wanted to say. If it resulted in Delia becoming a shareholder, then Grant Corporation would no longer be the same.
‘"Wanda, what kind of trick are you playing?" Delia did not believe that I would give her my vote so easily.
I ignored Delia for the time being and fixed my eyes on Cindy. She must be very disappointed in me now, but I did not care anymore.
Gaze lowered, I said earnestly, “You can blame me, and you don’t have to understand me either. I just want to protect the people I love. I don’t care about whatever good or bad happens with Grant Corporation anymore, so I’m using my vote as a bargaining chip.”
“You’ve really changed. I thought you would still put the overall situation first despite having divorced Theowy. I didn’t think you’d actually be such a selfish person!”
I could understand that she did not understand my pain. I was calm at her reprimand, and a smile appeared on the corners of my mouth. “A divorce means the breaking of a relationship. Why should I trouble myself because of Grant Corporation?”
Cindy was pissed when she heard what I said and took a step back. “I was really wrong about you, Wanda.”
After she said that, she walked past me and left the conference room gracefully.
We probably would not contact each other again after this.
Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath before opening them to look at Delia. She smiled and walked toward me. “Tell me, Wanda. What do you wish to do?”
“I just want to use this vote to exchange for my children’s safety,” I said as I looked at her seriously.
Hearing this, Delia laughed lightly, her hands spread out. “I don't quite understand what you’re saying. When have I ever bothered you or your children?”
Her triumphant smile came into my view. Throat bobbing, I said again, “Stop pretending. I know you sent them. You want to intimidate me because I’m still in Whaldorf City. That’s why you got those people to try and threaten me. I just want to tell you with this vote that I have no intention of getting involved with you as long as you let me go.”
