If she got up on her own and stopped crying, then she would not be able to play the victim and win Theo's sympathy.
However, if she continued making a fuss, then it would be too embarrassing because Cally and I had already apologized to her with great sincerity.
Cally knew what her schemes were and rolled up her sleeve to reveal the claw marks on her arms. She said to her, "Ms. Mandez, you’re not the only one who got hurt. Wanda and I are also hurt. You know just how long your nails are. Even Wanda's neck and face are bleeding from your scratches, needless to say her body. You know just how vicious you were when you were scratching us. Just because you’re sitting on the ground and crying doesn’t mean you're the only victim here.”
After a pause, she continued, "You're Fredericks Corporation’s partner. Wanda and I only apologized to you because you're a guest in Fredericks Corporation's territory, but we all know who’s at fault here. There's a limit for everything.”
After saying that, she looked at Jordan and no longer put on a fawning attitude. "We're leaving now, Mr. Fredericks."
She then tried to pull me away, but Theo held me back.
This man had remained silent from the moment he arrived. It was difficult to tell his attitude toward this incident.
At this moment, the gaze he used when he looked at me was a little dark. I thought he was blaming me, so I felt a little uncomfortable.
I pursed my lips and looked at Cally, saying, "You go ahead and dress your wounds first. I'll join you later.”
Cally glanced at Theo and nodded her head.
Jordan did not leave. He was waiting for Theo to take a stand
"You hit her?” Theo looked at me and asked in a stern voice.
