The Woman From Hell



The villa looked like it was new when I came back that evening.

I could smell the fragrance the moment I stepped in.

There were a few pots of orchids from who-knew-where placed in the living room. They looked fresh and refined.

Caroline walked out of the kitchen with a pot of orchids in her hand. When she saw that I had returned, she smiled happily. "Madam, you're back." "Yeah. Where did these flowers come from? They're pretty nice."

It was the blooming season for orchids now, and these pots had quite a few flowering branches on them. The fragrance was pleasant.

"Sir brought them back. He said they were for decoration. A few cleaning ladies came to help clean up the place together today. The villa is completely clean now. Sir explained that we must clean up all of the traces left by outsiders."

This was really Theo's style of doing things.

I raised my brow but then saw Theo slowly descending from upstairs. He spread open his arms and gave me a smug smile. "How is it? Not bad, eh?" Nodding, I gave him a thumbs-up. "Not bad. You're doing a good job, President Grant."

He stepped forward and hugged my waist. He left a light kiss beside my mouth which caught me off guard. My cheeks flushed slightly as I pushed his chest. "Really now?"

"You're still shy?" Theo asked with a smile.

"It's time to eat." Caroline's voice sounded.

Just in time.

I turned around and sat down in the dining hall first. Looking at the sumptuous meal in front of me, I could not help but praise, "Caroline, you prepared so much delicious food tonight."

"You should eat more, Madam. You look thinner these days."

She was right.

I had not been eating well or sleeping well during this time because of that trifle.

Now, the dust had finally settled.

"Sir, you and Madam have been busy for so long, it's time to go out and have fun. You should take the madam out to relax. It'll also be good for the child," Caroline O suggested.

I thought Theo would refuse at first.

I did not expect him to be convinced.

He turned to me with a happy

expression. "Caroline's right. Let's

take a few days off and go on a trip."

I glanced at him. "You're leaving the company to Keith again. He'll hate you.

"Besides, we don't know if Drover will retaliate. If he acts when we just leave like this..."Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I still remember what Drover said before he left. Considering his personality, he would stay true to his words.

Theo's expression also sank after I said that. "Yes, it seems we'll have to wait a little longer."

"I keep feeling like there's something odd about this." I vaguely felt the slightest unease.

Something felt amiss when Drover approached Theo.

My words elicited a frown from Theo, and he stopped eating. "Yes, I know it's weird. I think there's someone controlling Drover."

"You have too many enemies, Theo. How many people did you provoke?" I glanced at him.

He shrugged. "I don't have a choice. Being powerful does that. I'll always end up offending someone. Perhaps I snatched a project? It might not necessarily be a grudge, but there are too many people like that."

Business competition was inevitable, but I did not think anyone would go this far.

Aside from these people, however, who else was there?

Apart from business, the rest might be from domestic tattle, like love affairs.

My thoughts seemed to coincide with Theo's. Our eyes met, and he smiled. "You thought of it too, right?"

"Yeah, but I think most of the possibilities involve people with who you were previously involved.

"I think you caused it."
