Chapter 172
Cynthia felt uneasy. She wanted to sit next to Theodore, but since he made it clear where he wanted her to sit, she had no choice but to do
as she was told.
Her fingers intertwined nervously as she asked, “Theo, what’s going
on?”
Theodore said, “Explain to Rose what exactly happened at the resort
the last time.”
Cynthia looked at the two of them in disbelief, her gaze pausing at Theodore as shock registered in her eyes. “Theo, why did you bring this up out of the blue?”
Did Theodore bring Rosalie here to make her explain to Rosalie about that? Did Theodore consider her feelings when doing this, and gave
Rosalie a chance to humiliate her?
Rosalie found it ridiculous, too. “Why are you making her explain things to me? I really don’t understand what’s going through your
mind.”
“It’s simple, really,” Theodore said. “You don’t want to hear me out, and even if you do, you won’t believe me. In that case, I’ll have Cindy explain things to you. Both of us will tell you clearly what exactly happened.”
“I have no time to waste on you guys,” Rosalie said as she stood up
to leave.
Theodore refused to let her leave, and tightened his grip on her arm. No one is leaving until we make things clear between us.”
He was being absolutely serious.

“Come on, tell her,” Theodore said as he looked at Cynthia. “Tell Rosel exactly what you told me the last time.”
There was frustration in Theodore’s tone.
Cynthia never expected things to turn out like this, and instantly felt
anxious.
She couldn’t possibly put forth an explanation that differed from what she told Theodore before! If she did, he’d expose her immediately.
She could only grit her teeth and explain, “The last time Theo brought
me to the resort…”
Under the authoritative aura that Theodore was exuding, Cynthia had to tell nothing but the truth. She said whatever she told him to Rosalie, not daring to change her words one bit.
After Cynthia said her piece, Rosalie remained silent for a long while.
She had approached the topic with distrust. How could nothing have happened between them?
But when she saw the fury in Cynthia’s indignant eyes, she believed Cynthia’s words. Had something really happened between them, Cynthia would be all smug about it and wouldn’t look so indignant.
Rosalie had to admit that she was shocked.
However, she didn’t believe that Cynthia spiked Theodore’s coffee with sleeping pills to let him have a good rest. She had surely done it to take advantage of him!
In other words, it was likely that Theodore had never been intimate with Cynthia. Otherwise, why would Cynthia stoop to doing something
like this?
The thought made Rosalie feel rather happy.

The dark clouds that had gathered in her heart dissipated, letting in a ray of sunshine.
The next moment, another thought came to mind. She wanted to say something, but Cynthia was still around and she didn’t want the
woman feeling all smug.
With a fake smile, Rosalie held Theodore’s hand and said, “I’m sorry for misunderstanding you. Now that I know that nothing happened between you two, I feel more reassured.”
Rosalie then smiled at Cynthia. “Ms. Zeller, please don’t do this again. He’s a married man, after all. It’s not a good idea, as much as you think it is for his own good.”
“…” Cynthia wanted to say something more, but she swallowed her words upon meeting Theodore’s cold gaze.
Weren’t the two of them on the verge of getting a divorce? What was Rosalie doing, putting up an act like this?!
