At the same time, Theron had arrived at the bookstore and sure enough, he saw Lizzie sitting at a table in the bookstore.
The sunlight outlined her profile, calm and peaceful, blending in with the atmosphere of the bookstore.
She was talking to someone, with a faint smile on her face.
Theron looked at Lizzie like that, and he was momentarily distracted.
Recently, when facing him, Lizzie was always sharp, but when facing others, she was gentle.
Theron’s heart suddenly tightened, he paused for a moment, then continued walking towards her.
Hearing footsteps, Lizzie and Fredrick’s conversation was interrupted.
She turned her head, looked at him calmly, the gentle smile in her eyes instantly disappeared, leaving only aloofness and indifference.
Fredrick glanced at him and immediately recognized the person he had met briefly before. Thinking about the unpleasant encounter between him and Lizzie at the Trevino’s house that day, he furrowed his brow slightly.
Lizzie slightly lifted her chin, with a hint of a smirk at the corner of her mouth, showing obvious sarcasm.
“Mr. Howland seems to have been too smooth at work recently, wanting to be reported, adding some twists to his life?” Lizzie’s voice was not only sarcastic, but also warning.

She warned him not to mess around, otherwise she really didn’t
recommend destroying him, reminding him that their relationship was irreparable!
Theron’s heart ached, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and looked at her with a heavy gaze.
“I came to talk to you about something, Lizzie. Why did you have to make things difficult for Johanna?”
The sarcasm on Lizzie’s face deepened, “Oh? She went back to tattle.”
Theron’s eyebrows furrowed, he didn’t like her sarcastic attitude, and he especially didn’t like her hostility towards Johanna.
In his eyes, Johanna was weak and helpless, while Lizzie was strong -and assertive.
“She didn’t say anything to me, don’t misunderstand her. It was someone else who saw it and mentioned it to me.”
Theron looked at Lizzie with a reproachful look, “Lizzie, Johanna is already having a hard time, you know her situation now. You got her suspended from work, trying to save some money as a primary translator for the kids, why did you have to…”
This is just pushing Johanna into a corner.
“Lizzie, Johanna wasn’t doing well, so I had to take extra care of her for the sake of the late Efren. I couldn’t let go of Johanna.”
He looked at Lizzie, “only after Johanna was settled, could he let go, and then they could be together peacefully.”
Lizzie, can you settle Johanna down?
No way!

Johanna would always stick to Theron. When he was transferred to Dawnton, he took her with him, leaving himself behind in the countryside!
Lizzie won’t go through the same pain she suffered in her past life again!
Her voice was icy cold, “That’s your business, no need to tell me.”
Theron looked at Lizzie, anger in his eyes.
“Lizzie, don’t drag our issues into other people.”
“For example?”
Lizzie raised an eyebrow slightly, with a calm tone, already expecting him to bring up who.
“Don’t pick on Johanna just because of me.”
Sure thing.
Lizzie curled her lips and snorted coldly.
Fredrick next to him couldn’t stand it anymore, he interrupted with a frown.
“What you said is not true. Johanna’s draft was rejected because her translation skills were really bad, with many basic errors. It has nothing to do with Lizzie.”
Fredrick’s eyes were clear, his tone was firm, he definitely didn’t seem like he was lying.
Theron’s gaze suddenly shifted to Lizzie.
She was looking at him with a mocking look in her eyes, like a sharp

needle that hit him right in the most embarrassing place in his heart.
A rush of warmth flooded his cheeks, and he awkwardly explained, “It wasn’t Johanna who said it, it was Adrienne and me. Johanna couldn’t take the translation job and wanted to sell watches.”
Lizzie’s smile got even deeper, the sarcasm was almost dripping out.
“Who said it doesn’t matter? You never trusted me from the beginning. Someone says something and you immediately believe it, then come to question me.”
Lizzie’s voice was gentle, not aggressive at all, but it left Theron speechless.
He tightly pursed his lips, his Adam’s apple bobbed, and he struggled -to spit out a sentence.
“Sorry.”
“No need to apologize,” Lizzie’s expression remained unchanged, cold and indifferent, truly not caring, “I won’t be upset by the denial and
injustice of a stranger anyway.”
Theron gave a slight shiver.
Lizzie continued calmly, “I won’t forgive someone who once hurt me just because of a casual ‘sorry‘.”
In the previous life, she cared too much about what Theron said, that’s why she got trapped in his lies.
