The Woman From Hell



Jordan picked up where I left off the moment I stopped. "I was still very confused at the time. I even thought she was messing with me, but I was convinced after."

Shannon glanced at Jordan as she raised her brow with a profound meaning. "That project was so important to you that it took several days to decide on the cooperation. What method did Wanda use to convince you?"

Hearing this, I was slightly taken aback.

Shannon's words were very clearly sour, but before I could speak, Jordan answered first, "She revealed to me the partnership process between Drover and Grant Corporation. They were very mature going into the project at the time, and it was strange that Drover would suddenly want a new partner. After weighing the situation, I chose to give it up."

After all, they would have lost everything if they failed.

The phone rang after Jordan was done. He went to the side to answer it and then looked at Shannon apologetically. "I have something to do at the company. I'll go back first and come by again later. I'll leave Wanda to accompany you first."

"It's okay. Go on."

Although Shannon's voice was gentle, it was not difficult to hear the disappointment in it.

As if to make it up to her, Jordan left a kiss on her forehead and left the ward.

After he left, I turned to Shannon. When I saw her looking away, I knew what was going on in her heart at that moment. I walked over and said slowly, "Shannon, are you starting to feel biased against me?"

Shannon, who had always been a straight shot, hesitated at my directness. She pouted. Pretending to smile casually, she waved at me. "How could I? Come now, stop thinking nonsense."

"Am I being nonsensical? You would know best." I patted her on the shoulder and smiled slightly. "I noticed something off with your tone just now. You're jealous of me."

I was not asking her if she was. On the contrary, I was pretty sure of it.

I saw Shannon's expression change slightly. The smile on her lips froze at my words. She said, "I know that the person Jordan liked before was you."

When she looked at me, her eyes were clear. There was no resentment in them, but I found them difficult to face. I pursed my lips and sighed. "So, you already know that."

When Jordan frequently showed me goodwill at the beginning, I could see through his thoughts for me. It was impossible, however. We were not for each other. I also knew that Shannon had fallen in love with him at first sight when she saw Jordan. Hence, I wished that they could get together. I was also happy for them when they did.

I just did not expect Shannon, whom I thought had been reassured a long time ago, to become so sensitive now.

"Yes, it's obvious. But I know your

feelings for Theo, and I know you I won't accept Jordan. So, I took a chance and told him about how I felt. He thought I was alright after we interacted for some time. So, we got together. I didn't think too much about all this before giving birth, but I don't know why my emotions are running a little wild after having given birth."

Shannon said all this with a lowered gaze and her head bowed.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

This was probably postpartum syndrome.

"It doesn't matter. I can understand you, Shannon. You just need to know that nothing is happening between Jordan and me. Take care of your body. I believe you'll recover soon."

Tolerance and trust were what was needed most between friends.

Shannon looked at me and said softly, "Yes, I'll take care of myself. I won't think about it anymore."

"That's good. Now that the baby is here and Jordan's company has stabilized, it's time for you to enjoy the blessings." "Hopefully, there'll be no more turmoil in the future."
