The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 292

She held it out in front of me and I had no choice but t o take it. I flipped it open and read it from start to finish. I had already expected the content, but the amount really surprised me. I could not help but burst out laughing. "As expected of you, Petra. You’re still generous as always."

"I told you that I liked you from the first time I met you and am also willing to help you. This compensation reflects my personal feelings for you. If you accept it, then we'll all be happy. You and your child will be clothed and fed for the rest of your lives, while my daughter will get what she wants. Most importantly, Theo will soar to the peak where he belongs."

After a short pause, she continued, "You know that Theo is an ambitious man. He came to Whaldorf City t o expand his business because he wants to climb to a higher spot. This isn’t Salt City. Ambition and abilities alone won't be able to help him achieve these things. T o expand his business in Whaldorf City, he needs connections, money, and power. I'm capable of providing him with these external forces.

"If you love him and care about his future, you should b e wise enough to leave him now instead of becoming a stumbling block to his bright future!”

I put the contract on the table and waited for her to finish with a blank expression.

With a slight smile and a bland tone, I said, "I admit that you've made a point, Petra. I'm also aware that you're capable of assisting him, but you don't know Theo at all. He’s a proud and conceited man. He'll rely on his own abilities to fight for whatever he wants. He does not need help now that he's here in Whaldorf City. He'll achieve the same glory he has in Salt City sooner or later."

I had never doubted Theo’s abilities and believed that he would not abandon me and the child for the sake of expanding the company.

If he did take the initiative to leave us one day, it would be because his love for Cindy had gone beyond his sense of responsibility.

When that happened, I would be willing to give up-but not under the current circumstances.

Seeing that I was unmoved, Petra put away her amiability and sneered. "What sort of place do you think Whaldorf City is? Do you really think that things are fair here just like in Salt City? That anyone can reach their goal with abilities alone? Well, listen up. If he offends the Louises, then I guarantee that his company will have a hard time expanding in Whaldorf City."

Ignoring her threat, I raised my eyebrows to look at her. "I'm just his wife. Being a good wife is my duty, while the rest has nothing to do with me.” "I can't believe you’re this cruel, Wanda Lane. You won't hesitate to risk the entire Grant Corporation for your own selfish desires. Or should I say that you don't love Theo at all but are only with him for his money?”
