The Woman From Hell

The anger in me was still boiling when I returned to the bedroom.

Delia was not punished, and Theo did not choose to stand by my side. Everything was doubling my anger.

I despised Delia but had to admit how relentless she was. I knew I could not beat her. Seeing that Theo was also not making decisions on my behalf, I thought she would only become more brazen in the future. How was I going to prevent this, though? Any effort would be futile if the issue was not nipped in the bud.

The more I thought about this, the more annoyed I got. I finally closed my eyes and lay down on the bed, deciding to get some good sleep.

I needed to sort out my thoughts carefully. I could not just give in like this.

It was not only for myself but also for my children.

Just then, my phone rang.

I picked it up, and it was Shannon.

The grievances in my heart increased gradually when I heard her bright and lively voice. When I finally could not help but sniffle, she noticed something. "Wanda, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

I could no longer bear it anymore at Shannon's concern and told her what happened while choking up.

As expected, she immediately came to my defense and said that she would be coming in person.

"Wanda, don't panic. I'll be over right away. Don't worry, I'll definitely help you teach that b*tch a lesson. I'll let her know that we're not so easily messed with."

The grievances in my heart dissipated by a lot at her consolation. "I'm fine. It's quite late now. You don't need to come over."

"Are you sure? I'm worried."

"I'm really fine. No matter how bold Delia is, she still won't dare to hurt me."

Shannon replied doubtfully, "Alright then. You best be careful. I keep having this feeling that she has many cards up her sleeve."

"Different situations call for different measures. I'm already prepared."

"That's good, then. If anything happens, you have to let me know immediately."Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

I hummed in agreement, my heart warm.

"Wanda, I called you today because I have something important to tell you. You're aware of our project with Hyperspace. We're at the advertising stage now. We're heading overseas to shoot it." en FindNovel

"So soon? Marius works pretty fast."

"Wanda, do you want to come with us? Marius definitely wishes you'll come."

Of course, I wanted to go, but I could not stop worrying about the children. Fortunately, the responsible Caroline was home. I did not need to worry so much. "Alright, I'll come with."

After ending the call, my mood was a whole lot better. I tried to not think about Delia and Theo. I spent some time playing with the children for a bit before heading to bed early.

The next morning, I packed my luggage and was prepared to depart.

Seeing the children in the crib, I was unable to leave with peace of mind. Thus, I went and look for Caroline. "Caroline, I'll be heading outstation for work. I might need to trouble you to take care of the children again for a bit."

Caroline did not hesitate. "Madam, don't say that. It's my job."

"I don't trust the children to remain here. I want you to take them to your home."

I paused before emphasizing, "It's

difficult to guard against the perpetrator when they're in the house. I'd feel uneasy if they're

home. They're better off staying with yout."

Caroline understood my worries and assured me. "Don't worry, Madam. I'll take good care of the children."

Theo came over at this moment. "You're asking Caroline to take the children to her home? Does our own not work?"

"No, I'm worried someone will hurt them."

"Wanda, can you stop making trouble? Who's going to hurt the children?"
