NovelEnglishChapter 838 We were at the entrance of a mall and there were many people. Having an argument here would lead to unnecessary trouble.
I did not want to quarrel with her, so I coldly said," There's no use quarreling. We're not kindergarten children anymore. Please be a little more mature, Ms. Reed." I planned to leave after saying that.

I frowned. "Do you still love Theo or are you just unhappy?" She froze. Clearly, the question had confused her.
I waved the car keys in my hand and said, "I'm tired of looking at you like this. You're probably tired after all these years too. Since you can't let go, why don't you cwith me?" Only by letting go of one's obsessions would certain things cto an end.
She was worried about attracting a crowd, so she got into the car with me.
Although she pulled a long face throughout the whole journey, she did not say anything.
I glanced at her and said faintly, "I took my driving test not long after marrying Theo. He had just taken over Grant Corporation at the tand needed to attend social gatherings every day. As his most trusted aide, Keith needed to attend the social gatherings too. When the driver left with Keith, Theo was left without a driver. He did not like taking cabs o r calling a chauffeur, so he toldto take a driving test. He said I got off work early every day anyway, so when he had social gatherings, I could be his driver." She sneered. "He merely treated you as his servant. No husband would take their wife to a social gathering." I smiled faintly and was nonchalant about her remark. "I thought so too at the time. I thought he didn't love m e at all and merely treatedas a servant he could order around as he liked. However, the truth was that he had merely broughtto two social gatherings. His main purpose was to buya car so I could drive myself to and from work." Cindy raised her doubt. "You're so imaginative." I helplessly smiled. "When Theo loves someone, he doesn't do it ostentatiously. He's very busy and can't driveto and fro from work all the time. Worried that it would be unsafe forto take a cab on my own, he gotto learn how to drive." Cindy sneered. "You think too much!" "You can understand it that way. I think that you may be right about this incident, that I was merely thinking too much," I said with a smile.

Within two years, I managed to build up the company. You think Grandma was helpingthen, right?" Cindy let out a mocking smile. "What? You think you're that capable?"
I was amused. "Grant Corporation belongs to the Grants, after all. When Grandma handed Grant Corporation to Theo it meant that she would not meddle in its affairs anymore. When I was asked to manage the entertainment company, though its scale was small, it had a lot of potential. Besides, Grant Corporation needed a big entertainment company. If Grandma hadn't helped me, how else do you think a fresh grad newbie likewas able to expand the entertainment company?" Cindy seemed to have thought of something, and her expression grew even more sullen.
I started the car again and said blandly, "Be it professionalism or business, I was quite poor at them a t the time. That's why Theo took my place and broughtalong to social gatherings. He left no stone unturned when teaching me. It was only when I improved did he fully hand it over toto run the company by myself."
After a pause, I continued, "In fact, throughout this whole journey, he has been teachingconstantly. He hoped that as his wife could grow and fight alongside him. He takes good care of you, but it's all out of responsibility and obligation. Besides, based on your understanding of Theo's character, do you think he would've accepted Grandma's arrangement to marryif he really loved you?" X
