Chapter 6 He stopped in his tracks and asked apathetically, “What is the matter?” “It is Grandmother’s funeral
today,” I said quickly. He paused for a long time before saying, “It is good enough if you attend.” “But
she is your grandmother.” His attitude toward his grandmother had already made his eldest uncle and
his second uncle very unhappy. If he did not attend today, what would they think? “I have already made
arrangements for the burial. Go and talk to Keith.” His voice was calm as if he was giving instructions.
Seeing that he was about to leave again, I raised my voice and said uncomfortably, “I have agreed to
the divorce. The condition is that you accompany me to Grandmother’s funeral in the afternoon, and I
will sign the divorce papers after that.” For some reason, my words managed to provoke him. He
grabbed my jaw and snapped, “It is not up to you whether to divorce or not. You do not have the final
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsay.” I did not struggle and just let him grab me. I just looked up at him with a determined gaze. After a
long time, he let go of me and gritted his teeth. “Very well, I promise you. I will go to the funeral myself,
but you cannot follow! Also, terminate the contract with Sherry immediately.” He coldly spoke those
words and left without looking back. I laughed silently. How ironic. Theo was going to announce to
everyone that I would be kicked out of the house. “Wanda Lane, you are too humble and pitiful. I have
said it before. As long as I want it, Theo will give it to me.” Cindy said mockingly beside me. I turned
around. Cindy was no longer playing nice as before. The innocence and cuteness on her face had long
disappeared, leaving behind only the triumphant look. “Miss Cindy is indeed a natural-born actress.
The speed at which you changed your attitude is admirable.” I did not want to see her, so I turned
around to leave. Cindy immediately stood up and stopped me. Theo was not around, so she did not
need to pretend anymore. She looked at me coldly and said, “As long as you sign the divorce papers
obediently, I will give up on the female lead role. Otherwise, just wait for a lawsuit!” I was taken aback,
but I smiled and just looked at her. “Are you using your status as a mistress to force me into a divorce?”
“You are the mistress!” She was sensitive to being called a mistress and shouted, “If it were not for you,
I would have married Theo a long time ago. He doesn’t love you at all. The person he loves is me, and
I am the only one in his heart.” “But I am still the rightful Mrs. Grant!” Ignoring her fury, I coldly walked
around her and started to leave. Other than Theo, I would not let anyone hurt me. Cindy was left
speechless by my retort. She pulled me over and said, “Wanda, you are so shameless. Theo already
hates you so much. Why are you still shamelessly hanging around him like a fly?” I stopped in my
tracks and slowly turned around. In a calm voice, I said, “How is it shameless? The Grant family is rich,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand Theo has both good looks and is very masculine. What use do you think I have for such a man?”
“You are too shameless!” Cindy could not win the argument, so she raised her hand in an attempt to hit
me. I would not give her a chance. I grabbed her raised hand and said slowly, “If I were you, I would
continue to pretend to be pure like a fake b*tch and not reveal my true colors.” With that, I swung her
hand away. Unexpectedly, Cindy was thrown backward from my action. She instinctively reached out to
grab something next to her. A huge antique vase on the table was knocked over and was about to hit
her head. I extend both my hands quickly. Luckily, I reacted quickly enough to catch the vase. I let out a
sigh of relief, lifted the vase, and placed it back on the table. At this moment, Cindy, who was now lying
on the ground, suddenly shivered. “Wanda, I will give up the role of the female lead. Do not smash me
with the vase…” Before I could react, my body was pushed away by a strong force. The vase fell and
shattered into pieces. I lost my balance and fell to the ground. My right hand pressed against the pile of
broken porcelain pieces. “Wanda Lane, how dare you!” Theo had a grim expression on his face. His
dark eyes were so profound that it was scary.
