The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2229



I wanted to leave the banquet early, but Delia made me stay.

I followed her, my gaze lingering on her. For a moment, I forgot about Theo.

When I realized this, Theo was no longer around.

Could he really have gone back first?

I searched for him and finally saw him in the far corner.

He was not alone, though. Harriet was there too.

There was nothing in this corner, and only the two of them were there now. Seeing Harriet crane her neck with a flushed face, I could not help but wonder what they are talking about.

I chose a remote location not far from them and watched them secretly.

I could faintly see tears in Harriet's eyes. Her voice floated over, and she sounded pitiful. "Four years in college... I was in love with you for four years. Did you never notice it?"

"No," Theo replied with a cold face without hesitation.

Were they reminiscing about the past?

Theo was too indifferent, though. I felt sorry for Harriet. I used to be as humble as her.

I lowered my gaze, sighed, and continued watching the scene unfold.

Harriet paused and took two steps back as if she could not believe it. She then stepped forward again. "You studied management. I deliberately transferred to the commerce department and studied what I disliked just to be by your side. I just wanted to talk to you. I still remember us hosting a party together. We made a good couple. Ever since that day, people kept whispering in my ear to hold onto you. You saved me then. I thought you had feelings for me too."

"That was just what you thought." Theo looked at her coldly, his tone even colder. The indifference emanating from his body even made me, who was not far away, tremble.

"Theo, why?! What's wrong with me? Why can't you like me?" Her delicate face was covered with tears, but her makeup was still intact.

As expected of a female star. The cosmetics she used should be highly waterproof.

No, my focus was weird.

I shook my head. I also wanted to know why Theo did not like Harriet. A brilliant woman like her should be Theo's type.

Out of curiosity, I continued watching.

Theo still had his hands in his pockets as he spoke in a casual tone, "I didn't think about it at that time. I just wanted to study hard. I didn't want a relationship"

What a lousy reason. Even I could not stand it.

"So I missed out. I thought you'd accept me when I came back after being successful, but I failed to meet you during our partnership two years ago. I come back two years later and found out that you're married This... Wanda, what do you even like about her?!" Harriet frowned.

A beauty looked good even when she frowned.

It was true that these words apply to Harriet.

Yet a certain person did not know how to appreciate it. Theo turned his face away and said softly, "She's beautiful and talented. As I told you, I married Wanda very early on. hope you'll stop troubling her, Miss Osborn" Content belongs toUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"In your eyes, am I someone who only looks for trouble?" Harriet asked back with a blank expression.

Theo looked at her, his eyes void of emotion. It's best if you don't cause any trouble. My wife is still waiting for me, so I'll trouble you no more, Miss Osborn."

After saying that, Theo was about to leave, but Harriet hugged him directly from behind. "Theo, don't be so ruthless, will you? Can't you just take another look at me?"
