Matthew's eyes were bone-piercingly cold. "Touch a single hair on her body and I'll make you pay with your life.”
Cindy looked up and glared at him for a few seconds before looking at me. She said mockingly, "Wanda, sometimes I really am envious of how you have so many men protecting you. However, don't you think you're too sickening for still wanting the favor of other men when you've already won Theo's favor?"
I pursed my lips and did not say anything.
One should not argue with someone who was prejudiced against one as it would only be a waste of breath.
Matthew pulled me behind him and said in a cold, stern voice, "You're just jealous."
After a pause, he continued in a mocking manner, "If she can win the favor of so many people yet you can't, then that just means that she’s way better than you. I can even say that you're completely unqualified to be mentioned in the same breath as her."
This man's tongue was still as sharp as ever.
However, what he said was right. Cindy was jealous of me and I had been clear about that for a very long
time.
Cindy was furious but she dared not scream or yell at Matthew. She could only ask in a mocking tone, "Does your fiancee know that you’re in love with another woman?"
Matthew frowned, his face covered in ice. "What does that have anything to do with you?"
"It has nothing to do with me." Cindy sneered, looking at me.
"Wanda, don't say I didn't remind you, but as humans, especially as a woman, we have to know our place. Mr. Zimmer has a fiancee. Theowy and he are both distinguished figures. If scandals start going around, then I’m afraid you won’t be able to stay in Whaldorf City any longer."
Her words contained a trace of threat. I was really quite impressed by Cindy. Keith would pass on her message to Theo. In other words, she would anger both Theo and Matthew.
I thought she would at least become smarter after three years, though I did not think that was the case anymore.
