The Woman From Hell

"Heh, how shameless. He's already divorced you and yet here you are, attending the business conference. If it were me, I would have already turned around and left." The three women were looking at me like a joke. They wanted to see me make a fool out of myself. While I was upset, I did not show it. Instead, Shannon was even more worried than I was. Although she was not very eloquent, she still tried her best to respond to them on my behalf.

One person could never have hope of going against a group. Shannon was defeated even when she tried to speak. Those women in front of us even ended up dragging Shannon in and cursing her along.

I did not want this to become something big since we were attending this business conference to expand Green Orange in the future. If word about this were to get out, it would not be good for the company. Thinking of this, I pulled Shannon's hand, wanting to get away from this troublesome place.

"Even if she's divorced, she's still part of the Schumans. You all can continue running your mouths if you're not afraid," came Tyler's voice all of a sudden from somewhere. I was a little surprised but also touched.

The women in front of us were shocked, their faces losing color as if they had heard something scary when they heard the name 'Schumans.' They were no longer looking as delighted as they did before and had run away hurriedly with frightened expressions. "Don't take anything they said to heart." Tyler looked over me with concern, afraid that I had been hurt by their words.

I lowered my head and said nothing. While I tried my best not to listen to them, their words had already pierced my heart like knives.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Probably noticing my grievance, Tyler took my hand and pulled me in front of Theo and Delia.

I was a little embarrassed, my eyes flitting about. I did not dare to look at the two people in front of me.

"Are you even a man, Theo Grant?" Tyler grabbed his collar angrily and forced Theo to look at him.

I grabbed Tyler's hand and used all my strength to pry it away from Theo's collar.

"You two secretly forced Wandy into a divorce. What a dog of a couple," Tyler said angrily.

All the people present were whispering to one another and did not dare utter a sound out loud because of Theo's status. Theo said nothing, but that itself explained everything.

"You're all a bunch of cowards who gossip behind others' backs. What kind of people are you?" Tyler looked at everyone present with indignation as if he would make them pay for the grievances I had suffered

The hall that had been full of laughter was silent at this moment, and the temperature seemed to be eight degrees lower.

I lowered my head, trying not to let

anyone see my red eyes. However, I

knew Theo had been looking at me the entire time. His fiery gaze wandered over my body, and that

made me even more

"Whoever dares to bully her in the future, I'll take it as you're bullying me and make you pay it back twice."

I was grateful to hear Tyler's words. It was like grasping onto a final straw of hope.

Tyler was well-known in the business circle. It was likely that no one was going to gossip behind my back anymore after Tyler said this.

Shannon had been holding onto my hand since the start. I was lucky to have both of them. I really would not know what to do tonight otherwise.

The service staff present in the hall came out and brightened up the atmosphere again. Although it was not as lively as it was at the start,

the crowd dispersed and no one was paying attention to us anymore.

"Let's go." Tyler took my hand and left, letting everyone see us.
