“What about you? Do you also think Grandma was the one who did. it?” Rosalie asked.


    “Yes,” Theodore answered, as his face grew cold. “Grandma did seem like the prime suspect at that


    time, so I thought she deliberately stopped Cindy’s operation so she could separate us.”


    Rosalie could feel her blood boiling. “You’re too much! How could you suspect your own


    grandmother? You’re such a let–down!”


    “How am I a let–down?” Theodore said in a suppressed tone. “As much as I suspected Grandma,


    did I confront her about it? Neither did I me her nor mistreat her because of this. Is that not


    enough?”


    Rosalie was almost convinced by Theodore’s logic, which seemed sound. He didn’t me


    Reba, despite thinking that she did the wrong thing.


    But… If he really trusted Reba, would he have suspected her immediately? Why would he


    suspect that his own family member would do something so horrendous?


    At the end of the day, Cynthia was the most important person to him.


    Why didn’t he suspect that Cynthia was lying and deliberately creating a rift between him and his


    family? She was clearly putting up an act, so why couldn’t he tell?


    Instead, he chose to suspect his own kin right off the bat.


    Yet now, he was sitting on his moral high horse, saying that it was good enough that he didn’t me


    his kin despite his suspicion. He knew full well whether that was good enough or not.


    “Enough, of course it is,” Rosalie said sarcastically. “Since M-


    Spencer said so, how could it not suffice?”


    Since he said so, so be it. He wouldn’t listen to others, anyway.


    “Rose, I’m trying to speak to you in a civilized manner. Don’t be so passive–aggressive,” Theodore


    said with his brows furrowed.


    “I’m talking to you very civilly, too. You think it’s enough, so be it. I’m just agreeing with you. What


    else do you want?”


    Rosalie’s attitude made Theodore feel veryfortable.


    “You were the one who started all these. I’m just trying to defuse the situation. Don’t keep trying to


    put the me on others.”


    “I was the one who started it?” Rosalieughed at his words. “Cynthia told me something that I


    conveyed to Grandma, so I’m the one who started this?”


    “Isn’t that so? Cindy was just harboring a guess, but you told


    Grandma something else altogether, saying that Cindy said it was certainty. That was a deliberate


    attempt at creating a rift between us,” Theodore said unceremoniously.


    “Theodore Spencer,” Rosalie said furiously, “how many times do you want me to repeat myself?


    Cynthia told me very clearly that Grandma was the one who did it. She did not phrase it as a


    possibility, neither did she frame it as just a guess.”


    Theodore continued speaking up for Cynthia. “Even so, you’ve misunderstood her. You


    misunderstood what she meant.”


    Rosalie shut her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to rein her temper in. She then stood up from


    the couch.


    “Theodore, you’re always like this. Cynthia clearly told me.one thing in private, but she would end


    up saying another thing the moment she gets exposed. She’d im she didn’t mean what she said,


    and that I misunderstood her. Each time, you’d choose to believe her instead of


    1. me. I’m always the one misunderstanding her. I once doubted whether I attended primary


    school and that I might becking inprehension skills, or maybe I just don’t understand


    her.”


    Theodore looked up at her. After a long pause, he said, “Rose, no matter what Cindy told you, don’t


    bring this up ever again. Whether there was a misunderstanding or not, this is all in the past. Don’t


    count it against her, on ount of her health condition.”
