The Woman From Hell

Keith was waiting by the car door. When he saw me coming out, he quickly opened the car door.

After getting in the car, I finally felt relieved. I sighed and closed my eyes. "Let's go."

I actually fell asleep in the car, maybe because I was too tired.

When I woke up again, I was already in bed.

Opening my eyes, I saw Theo still working on his laptop.

Others only see his success, but they did not know how hard he worked.

I got up. Hearing me move, Theo looked at me. "You awake?"

Looking down, I saw that my dress had been switched to pajamas. No wonder I slept so soundly. "Did you change my clothes?"

"I've seen everything anyway. Isn't it normal to help my wife change her clothes?" He blinked, tone amused.

I did not have the heart to joke around at this moment, however. I sighed and said, "Matthew is not only plotting but plotting against you." Theo was very calm when he heard this. He smiled. "So what?"

"They're going to combine forces to go up against you. A few of them are also distributors we've been working with for a long time. It's so disappointing." My expression sank, my mood plummeting.

Theo pulled me into his arms. I felt extra safe in his arms. It felt like all my troubles would vanish.

"It's been so many years, I know that I have a lot of enemies, so don't worry about me." His voice was also very steady. I did not know if he was really confident or if he was just trying to appease me.

I hugged him. "You may be able to deal with one or two parties but they're working together to go up against you and Grant Corporation. The risk is too great."

"Grant Corporation has weathered many years of ups and downs. I won't let it be destroyed while it's in my hands. They can come, I'm not afraid." Was he really not afraid?Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

This was essentially one against hundreds. I was flustered. "I think it's too dangerous, Theo. Why don't we go back to Salt City? Although Salt City isn't as prosperous as Whaldorf City, it's enough that Grant Corporation can develop steadily, no?"

I wanted to convince Theo to give up on Grant Corporation expanding in Whaldorf City and go back to Salt City to take care of the business there. Theo was silent, he did not respond.

I understand that he still wanted to stay in Whaldorf City. The branch in Salt City was stable enough, but there was no further growth. Only by staying in Whaldorf City could Grant Corporation reach a new level.

"Wanda, you know the reason why I opened a branch of Grant Corporation in Whaldorf City at the time. wanted to further develop the company. It can only be Whaldorf City, Salt City won't cut it."

Men's ambitions were adventurous. I could understand.

I nodded after a long time. "I understand, but I'm still very worried. Theo, promise me that if we can't hold on anymore, we'll go back to Salt City together, okay?"

This was our only escape route.

Theo finally conceded. He nodded to me. "Okay, I promise."

With his words, I also felt a lot more relieved.

"That's good."

"By the way, Zedd and Cindy will be coming back from their trip tomorrow. They said they had something to tell us and invited us to lunch." Having something to announce immediately after coming back from a trip? I frowned. "Could it be some good news?"

"I think it's quite possible."

"If that's true, that's great. Zedd should be the one who's looking forward to this day the most."

Theo just hummed. The two of us had a tacit understanding.

"Okay, sleep early." Feeling sleepy, I lay down again.

"You go to bed first. I'll rest after I've dealt with some things."

"Don't stay up too late, goodnight."

"Goodnight."

He left a kiss on my forehead...
