I looked indifferently at Quinn without saying a word.
She continued, "Please, can you stop pestering Theo? The Louises and Schumans can take care of you, so why must you ask Theo to take care of you? Do you know how badly Grant Corporation has been affected b y the rumors ever since you returned? And do you know why Theo is so busy?"
"That’s enough!" Theo stopped her from continuing.
I glanced at him and said to Quinn, "If you have something to say, then pour it all out today."
She sneered. "Matthew snatched away several contracts that were Grant Corporation’s at first. And with the gossip spreading out there, Grant Corporation's stocks have dropped several percentage points." i
After a pause, she continued, "Yes, he’s fine with whatever that is happening to Grant Corporation, but can you really bring yourself to watch his efforts all these years go down the drain? 9
"Also, that child belongs to the Lynches. If you can't give him a child, why are you subjecting him to the slanders of others? They're saying that he’s infertile, and in order to compete with the Lynches for
Munchkin’s custody, he'll have to sacrifice his friendship, the prestige, and the reputation he so painstaking built up over the years in Whaldorf City. You will completely ruin him if you continue to stay b y his side." 12
My complexion turned a little pale after hearing what she said. 1
Theo quickly walked to my side and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. He looked at Quinn with a cold expression. "Get lost."
Whether it was his expression at the moment or his words, it was clear that he was currently very angry.
Quinn was afraid of this version of him and stepped back subconsciously. She fell silent for a few minutes before turning around and leaving. 1
My body was shaking a little. It was clearly still late autumn now, but I would not stop sweating. Theo kept holding me in a deadly embrace. 2
"Wanda, don't listen to a word she said. Even if you didn't exist, Matthew and I would never be friends. Only one person can be the best in the business field i n Whaldorf City. Besides, Grant Corporation isn't as fragile as she described it to be. You must remember that you are my lawful wife. We'll tackle all problems together, hand in hand." 4
