The Woman From Hell



It was already two o'clock in the middle of the night when the plane landed at Whaldorf City Airport.

After bidding Don goodbye, I drove back to the villa.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I threaded lightly to the bed, afraid of waking Theo. I touched the bed and it was cold.

Feeling that something was wrong, I turned on the bedside lamp.

There was no one in bed. Did Theo not come back tonight?

He was not here, so I did not need to tiptoe around. I grabbed my pajamas, washed up, and fell asleep.

When I went downstairs the next day, Caroline saw me and was surprised. "Madam, when did you come back?"

"Last night. By the way, Theo didn't come back last night. Has he not been home the past few days?" I asked.

Caroline frowned as if thinking back before she replied, "Only yesterday. The sir called home and said that he would be working overtime the entire night and that I did not need to prepare him dinner."

Working overtime the entire night?

Did he have some big project?

I frowned and replied, "I see."

After breakfast, I went to the company.

Shannon pulled me to the side as soon as I entered the office. She looked at me with a heavy expression before pulling me to my seat and having me

sit down. "Wanda, you asked me to follow Theo to determine his schedule before you left for Salt City. I did it," she said earnestly.

"What did you find?" I knew that Shannon must have found out something judging from her tone.

Shannon patted my shoulder and said lightly, "Actually, it shouldn't be a big deal, but Theo went to the hospital with Delia."

"Huh?" I did not know why, but I was confused.

In front of me, Shannon was the same. She shook her head at me. "I don't know how the two of them are connected. Anyway, do you want to ask him?"

I exhaled, my feelings complicated. "How do I ask?"

"Start with pleasantries?" Shannon prompted.

I pursed my lips tightly, feeling a little uncomfortable inside.

Why were they at the hospital together?

What were they testing?

I rubbed my temples, unable to figure out why.

Seeing that was having a headache, Shannon brought me a glass of water. "Okay, don't think about it for now. You can't figure it out just by thinking about it. You can only ask, get it?"

Of course, I understood that, but how was I going to ask?

I could not let Theo know that I asked Shannon to investigate him, right?

Shaking my head, I temporarily put aside these doubts and dealt with work first.

The day passed like this.

It was getting dark outside. Shannon stood up after she was done cleaning up. "Let's go, Wanda."

"Alright."

"Are you going to ask him tonight?" Shannon asked me.

I was hesitant about this and shook my head, troubled. "I'll wait till I figure out how to ask him. It'll be too weird to ask him directly."

"I told you to start with pleasantries.

Chat a bit and then ask. It works

every time," Shannon told me this with the attitude of someone who had been through this.

I smiled. "Got it, I'll try."

"Notify me as soon as you have any news. Don't hide anything." Shannon pointed at me, afraid that I would keep things from her.

"Yes, President Collins. I'll let you know immediately when I get anything."

"That's more like it, let's go." We arrived at the parking lot, and Shannon got into the car.

Regal Villa.

The moment I opened the door, I saw Theo sitting at the dining table with a sullen expression, waiting for me to come back for dinner. His expression did not look too good.

I went in and took a seat. I threw him a glance. "It's time to eat."

"Okay."

His response was concise and indifferent.

Theo ate his meal mechanically with no expression on his face. Caroline did not dare to speak. I met gazes with Caroline. She shook her head at me. She apparently did not know what happened.

"Theo, what's the matter? Why are you in a bad mood?" I could not help asking.

He paused and then said, "We'll talk after we eat."
