The Woman From Hell

Even Sylvester sounded a little hurried now.

I found a clue from his expression. This was Silas' weakness, just as I had guessed from the start.

Smiling, I glanced at the old man. "Did I touch a sore spot?"Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

This simple question made them look even gloomier.

I laughed lightly again before speaking again boldly like a fledgling chick that had not taken to the skies, "You regret that your decision back then ended with a tragedy. That's why you want your granddaughter back to make amends. Don't you think it's ridiculous? "Now that I don't wish to come back here, you're going to make me stay using the same methods. What's the point of doing this? Your heart isn't even in it. Even if you lock me up, I'll escape the moment I get the chance. Not only that, it'll simply add to my resentment toward you and my hatred toward the Yards."

These words changed Silas' expression completely. He tapped his cane on the ground harshly. "I know about Theo Grant and Delia Owens. You're helpless now. I'm giving you the support of the Yards. Do you really not want it?"

"Thank you, Old Master. But I don't need it. The Yard family has many enemies. I'll put myself in danger if I were to return."

"Do you know what you're saying?" Sylvester was looking at me, his expression a little panicked.

I turned to him and smiled calmly. "Of course, I do. Weren't you the one who told me this? That the Yard family has who knows how many enemies and the moment they know I'm of the later generation of the Yards, they'll definitely come knocking on my door. I'm using this opportunity to cut my ties with the Yard family. It's equivalent to me saving myself, no?"

Sylvester was even more anxious when he heard this. He pointed at me with a resentful look. "Why are you so stubborn? Grandfather is asking you to come back to help me manage the Yard family's affairs, including the family business. It has a lot more prospects compared to the small Green Orange you're with now."

"I know you look down on my

company, but it was created by me and my friend from scratch. Things are getting better and better now. won't let it go so easily. If you want to threaten me by ending your partnership with Green Orange, there's no need. I'll announce our withdrawal from the partnership now."

I definitely would not change once I made my decision.

Sylvester was helpless when he heard my words of certainty. He lowered his hands and sighed as he shook his head. "I've truly never seen you so stupid."

"I'll ask you again. Will you really not come back to the Yard family?"

Silas, who was not far away, asked me again. His tone was a lot more solemn this time.

I suppressed the uneasiness I felt inside at his stare and nodded heavily. "I won't come back to places I have no feelings for."

Silas' sharp gaze remained on me, and it sharpened even more when he narrowed his eyes slightly. In the next second, however, he smiled slowly all of a sudden. He even raised his head and laughed a few times. This was hard to fathom.

I frowned as I looked at him, not understanding what was going on in this old man's mind.

"What are you laughing about?" I could not help asking.

His old face was lined with wrinkles, especially when he laughed. Silas' expression softened a little after he stopped laughing. "You're exactly the same as my daughter, so stubborn. Frankly, I might be a little disappointed if you had agreed. But it's very good that you refused. It proves that you're not a vain person. Regardless, you're still a child of the Yard family. Sooner or later, you'll have to recognize your ancestry."

He enunciated the last three words heavily...
