Lizzie heard that, she just looked up at him calmly.
Johanna got anxious and couldn’t care less about acting anymore, she said urgently, “Lizzie, Theron has come a long way to this day. He has suffered so many injuries and shed so much blood. You can’t ruin him! It’s not just his personal loss, but also a loss for the country!”
“Johanna, stop talking! I’ve made up my mind! Don’t make things difficult for Lizzie!”
Theron stopped Johanna, showing strong support for Lizzie in his words.
Lizzie smirked and chuckled.
Indeed, not getting it is the best. In her past life, she wanted Theron to show a little more respect to her than to his wife, but she suffered her whole life and didn’t get anything.
In this life, she didn’t care anymore, she didn’t want it, and he started to protect her instead.
Although she didn’t care much, it didn’t stop her from letting Johanna, really enjoy the suffering she had in her past life.
“I don’t know if the country suffered any losses, but I think it’s good to let him use his accumulated military merits to offset these irreparable mistakes.”
Theron suddenly looked up, with a hint of surprise and disbelief in his eyes, and then, surprisingly, a touch of absurd anticipation.

Lizzie couldn’t bear to punish him, maybe because deep down she still had some lingering feelings for him.
In Terrence’s deep eyes, there was a hint of subtle disagreement that was barely noticeable, and his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
She actually let Theron go so easily, which seems totally different from the way Lizzie usually acts.
Johanna was overjoyed. “Although those military achievements were regrettable, as long as Theron is still in that position, he will earn them back and protect her and the children!”
Lizzie seemed to not see their reaction, a cold smile slowly forming at the corner of her lips.
In that smile, there was no warmth at all. “I won’t punish you, let you easily redeem all the mistakes you made.”
Her voice was slow, without a hint of hatred, but every word was ruthless.
“I want to make you live in the guilt that can never be repaid to me for the rest of your long life, day and night.”
She wanted to see how the “star–crossed lovers” who everyone lamented in the previous life, unable to be together despite their love, ended up being “blissfully happy” once they were together!
She wanted to see how Johanna balanced family, children, and career!
She wanted to see how Johanna, who used to consider herself a modern woman of the new era with a high attitude, was dragged into the abyss by Darrell!
She wanted to see how Theron and his ideal Johanna were “love“– dovey“!

Theron couldn’t believe his ears when Lizzie said those icy words. He never imagined hearing such harsh words from the once gentle and lovely Lizzie!
A moment later, all his strength seemed to be drained in an instant. His straight back slowly collapsed, and his shoulders drooped weakly.
He struggled to move his lips and finally spit out, “I’m willing.”
If that’s what Lizzie wanted, he was willing to atone in this way.
Terrence’s gaze lingered on Lizzie’s face for a moment, with a slight smile on his lips. “This girl, brave and decisive, knows what she wants and is very clear–headed. He likes this personality.”
His lips curved down in a quick, almost imperceptible way.
“Theron is no longer a professor and got demoted. Johanna was suspended, not allowed to enter Equinox Research Laboratory or participate in any work.”
After Terrence finished speaking, the three of them each had different thoughts.
Johanna breathed a sigh of relief, she was just suspended, Theron was demoted but he could still accept it.
She turned to look at Theron, her eyes shining with gratitude.
“Thank you, Theron.”
Theron’s face turned stiff, “I did it for Efren.”
His voice was cold, like he was trying to distance himself from something.
Johanna’s expression froze in an instant, the fake emotion on he

Lizzie stood quietly on the side, not even bothering to lift an eyelid at Theron’s deliberate explanation to her.
His every move no longer stirs any emotions in her heart.
Theron saw Lizzie’s calm appearance and felt a surge of indescribable disappointment in his heart.
He clenched his fist tightly, but eventually let go in defeat.
He nodded to Terrence, then turned around, took big steps, and walked towards the office.
Johanna saw the situation and immediately stood up. She turned around, flicked the stray hair hanging by her ear, lowered her gaze, and said, “Thanks for being understanding, commander. I…..”
Terrence didn’t even look up, coldly interrupted her, “You should thank Ms. Trevino.”
