Elena sneered and said in a sarcastic tone, "It's true that the more outstanding the man, the blinder he is when it comes to choosing his woman. I'm honestly deeply moved by your IQ. It's really laughable that you dare to assert that she has no reason to push me when you clearly don't understand what sort of relationship Celine and I share."
I pursed my lips and smiled. I was not mad at her words. "Alright. If you say so, then I'll take back what I said and ask you just one question. Did you set this u p?"
"In what capacity are you interrogating me?"
Elena looked at me with cold eyes, and her words even harsher. "Theo Grant is my boss, not you. He should be the one interrogating me."
I narrowed my eyes slightly. "Honestly, I'm not here to interrogate you but to comfort you.”
I found it hard to be gentle in the face of this thorny woman.
Elena sneered. "There's no need for that."
"Alright, then."
I shrugged. "I don’t care what sort of grudge you and Celine have, but what you're doing has caused huge
losses to Grant Corporation. If this continues, I'll advise Theo to dismiss you. Grant Corporation isn't a place for you to plot against each other."
Elena sneered, looking as proud as a peacock. "Do you think you have the ability to do that?"
I raised my eyebrows. "Let's wait and see, then."
I found no reason to continue the conversation with her attitude, so I got up and prepared to leave.
When I got to the door, the ice-cold voice of a woman rang out behind me. "You're not worthy of him, Wanda Lane."
Those words were filled with disdain.
I was amused and turned around to ask her, "You think you're worthy of him, then?"
She snorted and said, "I heard that you’re an orphan. The only reason you could marry Theo is that his grandma got muddle-headed and picked you. An outstanding man like Theo needs a compatible partner. Besides, you seem to also suffer from mental illnesses, right? Your illnesses and your seemingly nonexistent family background will only drag him down."
