The Woman From Hell

Delia snapped her head at me all of a sudden like a swift arrow.

She was making her way toward me when Cindy hurriedly stood in front of me and blocked her. "Delia, what do you want?"

Delia snorted coldly. She tilted her head and looked at me before smiling lightly. "Forget everyone else. At least I know Theo approved of me on both votes. Isn't that right, Theo?" The woman's tone suddenly softened as she turned around to give Theo a look. She walked to his side gracefully and put her hands on his shoulders before looking at me proudly. "Yes."

Despite knowing that Theo would have cast both his votes for her, hearing him admit it himself still left a bad taste on my tongue.

For Delia, Theo, who used to always put the bigger picture first, no longer cared about the safety of the company.

I smiled bitterly and shook my head. I had no rebuttal against Delia's attack.

"Even though Theowy gave you two votes, it didn't change the outcome. You won't be able to become a shareholder either way." Cindy shrugged. There was mirth in her words.

"It's enough knowing that Theo is on my side. I'll be able to invest in Grant Corporation sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if I have to wait a little longer."

Cindy's eyes locked on Theo again. "Theowy, are you still going to continue destroying Grant Corporation's reputation like this?"

Cindy's mind was clearer than Theo's.

"Cindy, what are you talking about?"

"I don't believe you have no idea how Grant Corporation's reputation has been declining because of your affair with Delia. If this continues, she'll ruin the company sooner or later."

"Cindy, you shouldn't listen to all these alarmist talks. Grant Corporation will only prosper with my help. It's time for Grant Corporation to ditch their old image too. I'll help Theo do a good job moving forward."

Cindy laughed when she heard that. "I don't believe you have that ability!"

"Let's wait and see, then." Delia sounded free and easy. There was even the light of self-confidence in her eyes. It looked like she had a sure chance of winning.

It might have something to do with the person behind her.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

The foreign man's face appeared in my mind again.

If it were only a dream, why was it so clear?

"Wanda, although you and Theowy are divorced, you're still a shareholder, after all. You can't sit idly by when the company's existence is at stake."

Cindy nudged me a little before my ears registered her words.

It seemed that I had missed a part of their conversation when I came back to my senses.

"Uh... Theo and I are both divorced, so I don't want to bother with Grant Corporation's issues. None of them have anything to do with me." I knew I would disappoint Cindy by saying this, but this was the best protection for me. Choosing myself was the best decision I could make for my children. "Wanda, what are you saying?!" Cindy looked back at me and asked, confused.

Delia immediately spoke before I could answer, "Aren't these words so pleasant to the ears? Yet you voted against me."

She looked at me blankly, her tone full of disdain.

I laughed lightly and looked at Cindy. "I know you still have hope in me, Cindy, but I really don't want to tread through these muddy waters again. I just found out about the shares today. President Grant, you forgot to take back the 3% worth of shares, didn't you? I can sign an agreement form and return them to you. Besides, I already cast my vote just now."

Cindy, Theo, and Delia were all stunned when they heard what I said...
