Theo went into the water and pulled Elena up.
Elena wore a long dress that was a little thin and sheer to begin with. Now that it was soaked, the fabric stuck to her body and almost every part of her body could be seen clearly.
Sensing a lot of men staring at her with lewd gazes and thinking that she had embarrassed herself and lost her dignity in front of Theo, she burst out crying.
Theo frowned and took off his coat, draping it on her body. He then said, "Go and get changed."
Elena nodded and hugged Theo's neck with both hands. She looked at me and screamed without a single care for her image, "Are you happy now, Wanda Lane? Are you happy now when you see how wretched I look?"
I frowned. "Are you crazy?"
She was the one who tried to push me into the pond but ended up falling in herself. What did that have anything to do with me?
Elena was sobbing uncontrollably While looking at me, she accused me and said, “ You were the one who said that Mr. Grant i s a man you've used and no longer want. You told me I could have him if I wanted him. I merely spoke up for Mr. Grant and tried to tell you how good he is and that you're missing out on a good man. Why did you push me? Who says you can humiliate me like that?”
Great, I thought I would encounter Cindy number two.
When did I ever say that Theo was a man I had used and no longer wanted? Did I say that she could have him if she wanted him?
I supposed I now knew how capable this woman was at making up stories. I surrendered completely.
After hearing what Elena said, Theo's calm countenance suddenly turned dark and cold. He looked at me with a dark and icy gaze, asking me with a sneer, "A man you've used and no longer want? Am I that cheap to you?"
I wanted to explain, but before I could say anything, Elena continued, "Mr. Grant loves you, Wanda. He only has eyes for you, but that doesn’t mean you can trample on his feelings as you wish. I admit that I have feelings for Mr. Grant, but am I wrong to defend him when I see you humiliate him like that?"
This woman was too good at making up stories. I tried to explain myself but did not know where to start.
