Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 444

I frowned and felt compelled to speak up, "Don't go sticking your nose up in the air, Zedd. Do you think I deserve to be chastised by you?"

"Am I wrong in that assumption?" Zedd said with biting sarcasm, "Not only is your personality flawed but also your upbringing. I have no idea what it is about you that caught my brother's eye to the point where he has even decided not to divorce you. If it were up to me, I would have kicked you out a long time ago."

I almost burst out laughing the moment he uttered those words. As one would expect from Theo's best buddy, his logical reasoning was out of this world.

"Let's not get into the fact that the person I married isn’t you but Theo and instead focus on my flawed upbringing, which you mentioned earlier. Of course, I dare not compare myself to you, President Nichols. Have you ever referred to me as 'Sister-in-law' since I married Theo? I wonder, is your upbringing flawed as well or is it because of Cindy's influence?"

"You-" Zedd's lips parted, and he was about to say something.

"What?" I interrupted him before he could finish his sentence. "It doesn’t matter even if you had kicked me

out a long time ago, President Nichols. Even if the world was completely obliterated and there were only the two of us remaining, I wouldn't consider you for even a second. Why don't you take a good look at yourself to see if you're even worthy? Also, you don't have to worry about my marriage with Theo. As for whether he's living his days happily or not, I can assure you that he is. A single person such as yourself, who has been stuck in unrequited love for an eternity, will never get to know this joy."

"Wanda Lane! You... You..." For a short while, Zedd was so enraged that he could not think of a retort.

I said with a grin, "If you have nothing to say, President Nichols, simply hang up. I'm not going to laugh at you."

"Damn it!" Zedd was on the verge of leaping to his feet i n rage, "dust you wait, Wanda Lane. I'll never allow a woman like you to be with my brother."

"Then who will you allow to remain by your brother's side?" I chuckled mockingly and asked, "Cindy Reed?"

Zedd scoffed coldly and responded, "Only Cindy is worthy enough to be with my brother."

"Forget it." My eyes glowed with a tinge of coldness." Cindy's biological parents have evil plans in store for your brother. I would love to find out whether you treasure your brother or your beloved woman most when the time comes." "What are you trying to say?" Zedd raised his voice.

I neither had the time nor the inclination to respond t o his question, so I indifferently hung up.

Every hospital under Grant Corporation was experiencing complications. Issues concerning medical care were already tough to cope with, and it was worse if the hospitals were to take the blame. If this ended badly, Theo might just end up in prison like what Heidi predicted.
