The Woman From Hell



The next day, in the company.

Shannon arrived before me, and when she saw me, she came up to greet me. "Wanda, have you decided anything about the matter yesterday?"

I knew Shannon really wanted this investment. After all, it could save the company a lot of money, and we could get resources for free. Looking into her expectant eyes, I glanced at the bag in my hand and patted it. "I have everything with me. I'll meet him after getting off work." Shannon stared at the bag closely and caught a glimpse of the sandalwood box inside. Her eyes widened. "Your adoptive mother's personal effects?"

"Yes."

"Wanda, you've sacrificed too much for our company." Shannon's tone conveyed the message of how great I was.

I laughed, dumbfounded. I looked up at her. "I'm also doing it for myself, actually."

"Huh? Why do you say so?" Shannon pulled open a chair and sat down.

"Theo analyzed the situation with me last night. Cole's desire for my adoptive mother's personal effects likely has something to do with her, and so, of course, me. If I follow the trail, I may be able to find out about my background," I said to Shannon in a low voice while imitating Theo's tone when he spoke last night.

She propped her chin and nodded thoughtfully. "That makes sense. On the one hand, it can help the company; on the other, you can also find out about your identity. You're killing two birds with one stone."

"That's the reasoning." I patted the table, smiling brightly.

"So, this sandalwood box is a personal effect of your adoptive mother. Do you know what's inside?" Shannon asked me curiously.

I shrugged and spread my hands. "I don't."

"What? You don't even know what your adoptive mother's effects are." Shannon was shocked.

"I really don't. This is a paired box.

Unless I find the other one, I can't

open it." I stared at the box andBelongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

could not help but think of the box in Jackie's hand. If that box was really

Wole, then we would be able to

know what was in the box.

Shannon was stunned, but then she frowned. If that's the case, isn't it useless if Mr. Anders gets the box? But his ability is unlike an ordinary person's, so he might be able to find the other box."

"I think he must have his reasons since he asked me for it. Regardless, even if I'm unable to find out about my background, we at least still get the investment."

I almost gave this box to Jordan at the beginning. I figured it was pretty good now that I could use the box to help with the company's development.

"It's a good thing you were able to convince yourself to do this. By the way, since you have an appointment tonight, let's go see Nina in the afternoon."

I almost forgot that Nina was still in the hospital.

"Yes, the hospital is quite close to us."

During our lunch break, Shannon and I went to the hospital together.

Pushing open the door of the ward, we saw Nina leaning against the bed and looking at the magazine in her hand. "We haven't seen you for a few days, but you look pretty good."

Hearing my voice, Nina looked up and grinned when she saw us. "Really? It's all thanks to Dr. Frost. He's been taking care of me these days." "Looks like this is love's nourishment." Shannon covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Nina lowered her head shyly. "No way, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm talking nonsense? Why are you blushing, then?" Shannon pushed her with a gossipy smile on her face.

"Alright, Nina gets embarrassed

easily, so don't laugh at her." After

chastising Shannon, I looked back at

Nina. "You're in good spirits. You should be getting discharged from the hospital soon, right? The company is still waiting for you."
