Chapter 164
Cynthia smiled, and said, “I’m not yet married to Theo, so I naturally wouldn’t assume the title of Mrs. Spencer. That would be
unreasonable. Rosalie is the current Mrs. Spencer, and I understand
that.”
“Understand?” Rebecca wiped her mouth with a napkin, and placed it on the table. “Ms. Zeller, you’re indeed knowledgeable and reasonable enough to understand the situation concerning Theo’s current wife.” Cynthia wasn’t dumb. She could sense the veiled implications in those words, but all she could do was maintain politeness and continue smiling.
The Spencers didn’t like her at all. It seemed that no matter how hard she tried, it was futile.
Well, as long as she clung to Theo, everything else didn’t matter. The old lady was old, and would die soon anyway.
She couldn’t understand what was wrong with the Spencers. Had they lost their minds? Were they stubborn as mules? They only recognized Rose. She was just a poor and pathetic woman!
Among the Spencers, it seemed only Theodore was normal.
Just then, hurried footsteps entered from outside.
“Cindy.”
Everyone turned to see Theodore entering. He seemed in a hurry, worry coloring his face.
“Theo, you’re here. I don’t remember calling you,” Rebecca said, puzzled.

“Grandma, why did you specifically call Cindy here?” Theodore was anxious, but he remained polite to Rebecca.
“Ms. Zeller, did you tell Theo?” Rebecca looked at Cynthia.
Cynthia smiled awkwardly. “Ma’am, was I not supposed to tell him? I’m sorry, I didn’t know. I was so happy when you called me, so I told Theo that you invited me to dinner at your house. I thought it was Theo’s idea. I really didn’t know.”
She lowered her head, looking innocent, her tears almost falling.
Sure enough, Theodore would defend her every time her put on this act. He pulled a chair and sat next to her, then glanced at Rosalie across from him. Her expression was indifferent, as if it didn’t
concern her.
“Grandma, this has nothing to do with Cindy. She really thought it was my idea, and casually mentioned it during our conversation. She didn’t tell me on purpose,” Theodore explained.
“Look at you,” Rebecca chuckled. “I didn’t blame her, so why are you so eager to defend her? And why did you rush here? Were you worried your parents and I teamed up to bully her?”
“What exactly do you want from her? And why didn’t you tell me?”
Theodore didn’t directly say it, but his expression clearly indicated that he thought they were all about to bully Cindy.
The smile on Rebecca’s face vanished, and her expression suddenly turned serious.
“I called her here just to ask some questions, because there are some things I haven’t figured out. I wanted Ms. Zeller to clarify them for me. As for calling your parents here, I also wanted everyone present to serve as witnesses.“.

Upon hearing Rebecca’s words, Rosalie could already guess what the older woman was about to say. She was about to speak, when Rebecca smiled and said, “Rose, you eat your food. Don’t worry about it.”
Rosalie knew that when Rebecca made a decision, she couldn’t stop
it.
Theodore frowned. “Grandma, why not just ask me directly?”
“Even if I ask you, isn’t it all information that Cynthia told you? It’s better to ask her directly to get firsthand information, which is more accurate.”
“Mom, what’s going on?” Wesley asked curiously.
Cynthia forced a polite smile. “I don’t know what you want to ask me, ma’am, but I’ll tell you anything I know.”
“Alright, remember your words. I hope you’ll tell me the truth,” Rebecca said.
She then gestured to the seat behind her.
“Come closer, Ms. Zeller. I heard you had a lung transplant surgery before, and that your health is quite poor now.”
