"You evil woman!” In a moment of desperation, Cindy tried to deflect her guilt and accuse me. "You duped m e so you can frame my mother, or was it you who set m y mother up?! You arranged Benny Sherman and Chief Ford to set my mother up! Just you wait, I'll get Theowy right now and make him help me-"
"Make him help you do what?" I interrupted her coldly. "Do you still think that Theo will help you get out of all trouble unconditionally? Your foster parents saved his life, and he's been repaying them back by taking care of you for so many years. Now that you've found your birth parents, what you've gained is a lot more than what you’ve lost. If you still blatantly take advantage of Theo and make him do things that put him in a difficult situation, do you really think that he won't grow sick of you?"
"You're bullsh*tting!" Cindy's emotions suddenly became very erratic. "Theowy would never get tired of
"Is he really never going to?" I interrupted her once again. "I think you should’ve felt it by now. Theo's been so impatient with you recently, and he's clear about the fact that he doesn't want to take care of you. He doesn't let you have your way like before anymore."
My words hit her sore spot. Cindy's eyes were immediately red-rimmed. "That's all because of you! If not for you, Theowy and I would’ve gotten married. I'd be his wife, and he'd be my husband. He'd take care of me forever."
"Stop lying to yourself, Cindy Reed.” I sneered. "If Theo really loves you, no one would be able to force
someone with a personality like his to marry me. If he loves you, he wouldn't have refused to divorce me.
There's so much evidence that shows he has never loved you, so why do you have to pretend that you can’t see any of it?"
"Stop talking!” Cindy could not hold back and burst into tears. "It's definitely not like what you said!
Theowy loves me, or he wouldn’t be so nice to me! I can feel that he loves me!"
I laughed coldly. "He's nice to you because your foster parents saved his life. Or else, he wouldn't even spare a glance at an ignorant, spoilt brat like you!”
