The Woman From Hell

Chapter 422

"You evil woman!” In a moment of desperation, Cindy tried to deflect her guilt and accuse me. "You duped m e so you can frame my mother, or was it you who set m y mother up?! You arranged Benny Sherman and Chief Ford to set my mother up! Just you wait, I'll get Theowy right now and make him help me-"

"Make him help you do what?" I interrupted her coldly. "Do you still think that Theo will help you get out of all trouble unconditionally? Your foster parents saved his life, and he's been repaying them back by taking care of you for so many years. Now that you've found your birth parents, what you've gained is a lot more than what you’ve lost.

My words hit her sore spot. Cindy's eyes were immediately red-rimmed. "That's all because of you! If not for you, Theowy and I would’ve gotten married. I'd be his wife, and he'd be my husband. He'd take care of me forever."
