The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2218



Speaking of this, Shannon raised her brow slightly. She obviously had a thought. "Do you think it's..."

It seemed that she had the same thought as me.

I pursed my lips and smiled. "Another one might come, then. Shannon, do you want to lie in wait for them again?"

"You have another idea?"

"Yes, we'll get Theo to put on a passionate performance."

Only with this could we verify our suspicion.

It was the next day. We only needed to shoot three sets of looks today, and the location was still in the coffee shop, so everything was enjoyable so far.

When we were on the verge of dusk, the sky outside turned yellow.

I looked out. He should be here soon.

Shannon noted that my gaze was wandering and nudged me. "Where's your husband?"

"He said he was coming."

"That's great. He'll be leaving early tomorrow morning, so tonight..." Shannon smiled wickedly at me, looking all nosy.

I shook my head and smiled at her. "I'm not in the mood. I'll sleep with you tonight."

"Ouch, someone is going to beat me to death."

Not far from us, Harriet was having her makeup touched up. She obviously heard my conversation with Shannon. "Is Theo done with work?" She turned her gaze to me.

I nodded. "Yeah, so he'll be heading back tomorrow morning."

"President Lane, you said just now that he'll be coming over. What for?"

"Just for a visit. I hope it won't affect your state, Miss Osborn."

She turned away and continued getting her makeup touched up without saying anything. She just asked Lola to bring her her phone, after which she began tapping away at something.

Shannon approached me and whispered in my ear, "Theo's presence will only make her feel better."

Hearing what she said, I smiled. "Stop thinking about it."

"It's true, though."

Theo arrived after some time passed. Keith was pulling a small cart behind him that was filled to the brim.

I hurried forward. "You're here."

"President Grant has prepared dinners and fruits for everyone. Please don't hold back and enjoy," Keith said to everyone.

"Thank you, President Grant."

"Thank you, President Grant."

Amidst the thank yous that came one after another, Harriet's voice was particularly distinct. "Theo."

I knew from her voice that she was heading in this direction. Harriet came to a stop in front of us, her makeup much more delicate than before. "Theo, you came to see me too, yes? We were college classmates, after all."

She was aware that they were just college classmates, yet she behaved so familiarly toward him.

Harriet stepped away from me and stood next to Theo, smiling like a flower.

"Miss Osborn, I'm here to visit my wife."

Harriet was taken aback by his response, but out of concern for her dignity, she could only go along with Theo's words. "We're both together, so you can say that you're here to visit me too. Do you think I look good?"

Theo glanced at her. "Not bad."

"You said that without even paying attention. It's perfunctory." The tone of Harriet's voice sounded like she was trying to be coquettish with Theo. The occasion really did not matter to her.

I signaled Shannon with my eyes, and she understood immediately With no time spent paying attention to Harriet's entanglement with Theo, we began looking for suspicious figures.

We scanned the surroundings at large but found nothing.

Could it be that we made a mistake in our judgment?

In the next second, however, I caught a glimpse of a bright light coming from a particular corner. Although it was just a flash, I could conclude that it was a camera based on my experience with the celebrities from Nectarine, Entertainment.

I signaled Shannon the direction, and we walked over slowly...
