The Woman From Hell Chapter 45
The door slammed behind me, and I shrank back in fear, losing all my earlier boldness.He threw me onto the sofa with all his might. I instinctively held my belly and looked at his bloodshot eyes in horror. “W-what are you trying to do?”“Oh, now you are afraid. Were you not fearless earlier?” He sneered and held my chin with one hand. He said coldly, “Am I a cheater? Am I fickle? Am I unable to distinguish right from wrong? Am I disgusting?”The more he said, the angrier he got. He tightened his grip and his pupils constricted. “I did not expect to have such an image in your heart.”I had said some words out of anger earlier, but now that he held me tightly like this, my temper flared up again. I lifted my leg and kicked him.“Ah!” He pointed his trembling hands at me. “You...”This kick was not light, and I felt a little guilty. However, I still said defiantly, "Theo, are you still a man? You always use this method to deal with me. If you want to kill me, just do it. You do not

He looked like he was in pain. “But they did not get a chance to run out of the house. All of a sudden, the whole house collapsed, and they were buried alive in the rumble.”I was stunned. I did not expect this at all. I could not help but wrap my arms around Theo's shoulders and gently pat his back.“It is okay. The hardest part is over.” He did not seem used to being treated with such compassion. He pulled me back into his arms.He continued in a deep voice, “They were rescued after that. Grandmother hired the best doctor, but with their serious injuries, they still did not make it. They passed away one after another. Before they left, they entrusted Cindy to me.”I had always known how important Cindy was to him, but I never expected it to be like this.“Why didn’t Grandmother let Cindy marry you?” Cindy grew up with Theo and had even saved his life. Grandmother could have helped them get together.“Your focus is always so strange.” He smiled. It was a smile so clear and brigh

“Thank you for your concern, President Nichols. An outsider does not need to worry about the ownership of the Grant Corporation. You should mind your own business, President Nichols. It would not be good if the Grant Corporation was dragged through the mud because of your mistake.”It was early in the morning and I did not want to argue with him in front of the office. I turned and walked inside.“Wanda, you!” Zedd wanted to flare up, but when he saw the looks in the eyes of the surrounding employees, he sensibly shut his mouth.I took the elevator to Theo's office. It was still cold and felt solemn.Keith was busy at his computer. When he saw me enter, he looked up and said, “Miss Lane, the President is meeting with President Nicholas shortly. He wants you to wait in his office.”I nodded and entered Theo's office. I sat on the sofa and waited for him.Half an hour later, Zedd's voice came from outside the door. “Second Brother, have you considered Cindy's feelings before when y

"You're working overtime tonight?""Yes, I want to sort out these survey forms as soon as possible. What do you need?""Nothing. Do what you need to do then. I will go back first." He hung up afterward.Although feeling somewhat baffled, I did not want to dwell on it any longer. I went back to headquarters with Heidi to sort out the questionnaire because we were the only two people who had just been transferred back. We had to do everything ourselves.After sorting out the questionnaire, it was already eight o'clock. Heidi kept looking at her phone as if she had something on.“Get these forms sorted out and get off work.” I stretched and turned on my computer.“What about you? Do you have to work overtime?” Heidi looked at me."I will look through the information again." Anyway, I have nothing to do when I go back. I want to understand the online technology companies that Theo mentioned first."Okay. Do you need me to order dinner for you?" Heidi asked before she left.“No, th

I walked over to him. “I thought you went home?”“Can't I come again?” He smiled and asked.I was speechless. It was true.“What do you want to eat? My stomach is growling.” He started the car and drove out.It turned out that he was waiting for me to eat with him. I secretly rubbed my stomach that had just been filled and said, “I’m hungry too. Let's go for Japanese food!”After entering the restaurant, I immediately regretted it. Theo ordered a lot of dishes and kept putting food in my bowl. My stomach was hurting due to overeating.When we got home, I touched my bloated stomach and dragged him outside for a few rounds before stopping.Back inside, he's still hanging around my room like he did last night. “Why don't you go back to your room?” I asked him as I dried my hair.“This is also my room.” Then, he stood up and took the hairdryer to dry my hair. “You can't just dry your hair with a towel. You have to dry it with a dryer before you can sleep. Otherwise, you'll have a h

“Darling, let me tell you. Rosella City is really beautiful. We should have come here long ago.”“You went to Rosella already?” I asked, surprised that she'd gotten there so quickly.“It's not like you don't know me. Since I've already decided on something, the sooner I get it done, the better. I regret visiting this late. I really should have come a few years earlier.” It seemed like she liked it over there.“Did you look for a suitable store?” I asked.“Not yet. I plan to stay here for a few more days and look for them slowly. Let me tell you, the pace of life here is very slow. It seems like everyone is very relaxed. In addition to that, there are many schools, so the business of opening a shop will be good.”I sent her a message as we walked. The parking lot of the Grant Corporation was huge, and there weren't many cars in sight at this time. The whole place felt empty. Only the sound of my shoes clicking against the floor and the reverberations of my footsteps echoed around m

“Theowy, I like you. I have always liked you. Ever since we met in middle school, I swore that I would marry no one but you.”It was Cindy's voice.“Cindy, I am already married.” Theo's voice slurred and sounded like he was drunk.“Then I'll wait for you to get a divorce. Anyway, Dad and Mom entrusted me to you, and you'll be my pillar of support for the rest of my life. Moreover, you said that you don't love her and like me. After you get a divorce, I'll marry you and carry sons for you."“Cindy…”“Theowy…”My heart was in so much pain that I couldn't breathe. I wanted to cover my ears with my hands to prevent myself from hearing those sounds, but my hands were tied so tightly that I couldn't move.I shook my head frantically, trying to get rid of the sounds, but they always echoed in my ears and I couldn't shake them away.Who on earth wanted me to hear all this and torture me like this?I couldn't hold it in anymore and started vomiting like a fountain. In the end, I even v

“Mrs. Lane, you don't have a choice. You have to trust me. I can promise you that you will never see me again. If you don't do as I say, then I will have to talk to Mr. Grant about this.” He rubbed his chin, looking helpless.It was a threat, a downright threat.I hated the fact that I knew he was threatening me, but as he said, I had no choice but to follow.After a moment of hesitation, I nodded silently in agreement.My main concern now was to leave this place safely.“Great! Then we'll wait for Mrs. Lane's good news.” The businessman clapped his hands happily and signaled the ferret-face man to cover my eyes.“Didn't I promise you already?” They were going to blindfold me. I was starting to get annoyed.“Don't worry, Ms. Lane. I'll send you back now.” Then, they pulled me into a car.This time, I tried to keep myself alert, but after the car had been moving for a while, I dozed off again.When I woke up again, I was seated perfectly in my car in the underground parking lot
