Upon hearing her question, Petra and Grayson's expression abruptly sank.
Seeing how Grayson did not speak, she grabbed Petra's hands and cried, "Mom, you mustn't cover for her. You have to seek vengeance for me."
Petra looked at her with a complicated expression and said after a very long time, "I agree that this should be handled privately."
"Mom!” Cindy was dumbfounded. "Why are you also..."
Halfway through her sentence, she stopped and looked at Wanda. "Did you blackmail my parents?”
I sneered. "I don't think I’m capable enough to do that, Miss Heed."
Petra and Grayson now suspected that Cindy was not their biological daughter, and with Theo expressing his intention to protect me, they were not willing to turn this into a major issue as it would offend Theo. It was not worth it at all.
When the police left, Cindy shook Petra's hand off and began wailing. "Since all of you intend to cover for Wanda, that murderer, then all of you should just get lost. I don't need any of you to be my witness. I don’t need you to punish this murderer for me. Get out!”
When she grew tired of crying and no longer seemed s o agitated, Theo asked indifferently, "TH try my best to compensate you with anything you want.”
"I want you to stab her back in the stomach!" Cindy pointed at me.
Theo frowned. “Something else.”
“I knew it." Cindy’s chest was violently rising and falling. She was clearly very mad about it.
"You aren't grateful to my adoptive parents for sacrificing their lives to save you. You’re merely taking care of me because you're afraid that others will scold you for being an ungrateful brat."
Theo’s expression turned even more sullen after hearing what she said.
