The Woman From Hell



After an hour.

I exited the room. When I came out, I saw the middle-aged man who had pretended to be Cole. He had only been acting, but I really punched him. I gave him a slightly apologetic look. "Uhm... Sorry, I didn't mean to."

He waved his hands again and again, smiling honestly. "It's okay, I understand."

He was completely different from his repulsive behavior just now. I could not help but suspect that he was an actor.

I did not hover around him too much. I just bowed slightly to apologize to him and then turned to leave.

The moment I got to the elevator, the doors opened, and out came Marius and Shannon.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The nervous expressions on their faces eased slightly when they saw me. Shannon pulled me. "Are you alright, Wanda?"

"Sis Wan, we were waiting downstairs for so long. We came up because we were worried that you were in danger. You weren't bullied, were you?"

I shook my head and entered the elevator first. "I'm okay. Let's go."

In the elevator, Marius turned to look at me with surprise in his eyes. "Sis Wan, what did Mr. Anders want with you?"

Shannon also looked at me curiously, her expectant eyes searching for an answer.

I pursed my lips and smiled lightly before replying calmly, "Mr. Anders said he's interested in our proposal and wants to invest in us."

Shannon was startled when she heard this, but then she gradually laughed. “Are you pulling my leg? Why didn't he just choose us at the conference, then? Why did he want to talk to you alone?"

"Because he has conditions," I lowered my eyes and said in a low voice.

Seeing my poor expression, Shannon's smiling face turned cold again. She tugged at the corner of my clothes. "Does he want you to do something for him?"

Marius yelled before I could respond, "So this Mr. Anders is also a pervert, I see. He must want you to sacrifice your appearance. He even asked to talk to you alone. I'm afraid people will find out about this. I'll go up to him to settle the score."

Marius wanted to go back upstairs to settle the score with Cole the moment we stepped out of the elevator, so I hurriedly stopped him. "Don't be impulsive. It's not like that."

"Then what were you two talking about?"

"Yes, Wanda. Just tell us."

Looking at them, I sighed and finally said softly, "He wants my adoptive mother's personal effects."

Two gazes lingered on me in unison. The two of them glanced at each other before turning back to me. "Do you have a relation with him?" "Why does he want something of your adoptive mother's?"

I shook my head. I was also at a loss about this.

"I don't know either. Let me think about it myself."

I left them and walked forward alone, my mind in chaos.

What was the relationship between my adoptive mother and Cole? Why did he want her things? Did that mean I was also connected to Cole?

I bit my lower lip and sighed again.

My adoptive mother left me a sandalwood box. I had talked to Theo about this before, and it was very likely that it contained land deeds However, they were the Fredericks' land. What did it have to do with Cole? Just what kind of person was my adoptive mother,

and just who was I?

to

I drove while immersed in my own thoughts. I reached the villa in a blink of an eye.

Slumped on the sofa, I closed my eyes and rested my mind. The sound of the door closing sounded in my ears, followed by Theo's maic voice, "You look very tired today."

"Yes, I'm exhausted." My voice was a little hoarse.
