The Woman From Hell

Marius remained indifferent to Shannon's shock. "What else could happen now?"

"It's really a big deal. Look, you guys!"

Shannon lit up her phone screen and showed it to us. Marius and I looked. "Silas died?!"

This was too sudden!

For a moment, I was stunned, as were Marius and Shannon.

Reading the news report, it was said that Silas suffered a heart attack at home and died as help did not arrive in time.

I knew Silas had not been in good health, but how could this happen so suddenly?

"Silas did a lot of bad deeds, though. An ending like this could be regarded as retribution," Shannon said.

Marius looked at me with a serious expression. "Sis Wan, are you okay?"

"I'm okay. It's just a little too sudden. I can't register it." I looked at Marius and Shannon and smiled gently. "Shannon is right. This is his retribution."

My mother was still lying sprawled on the hospital bed. He was responsible for most of it.

"I want to go back first." With that, I left the office. Shannon called out from behind me, but I did not answer.

In the parking lot, my hand rested on the handle without me opening the car door.

I did not understand why I was having such a big reaction to this. It was probably my compassion at work since Silas obviously deserved to be damned. "Why is this happening?" I muttered, full of doubt.

An answer came from behind me. "That's because you only wanted Silas to lose. You didn't want him to pay with his life."

I turned around and saw Marius walking toward me slowly.

There was a faint smile on the

faint

corners of his lips as he said to me in a gentle voice, "People are good especially you. How could you have wanted him to die? It's normal that you aren't able to accept it now with how sudden the news was."

"Perhaps that's the case."

As Marius had said, I had hoped that Silas would receive the punishment he so deserved instead of losing his life.

"That's right, that's how it is." Marius

turned his deep gaze toward me. "It's Silas fate that he passed away at this time. We can only accept that old age and illness catches up with life. It's a natural phenomenon, no?" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

I nodded and accepted the thought, my emotions easing. "Thank you, Marius."

"I just said a few words. There's nothing to thank. Sis Wan, you now not only have your actual parents but also many other relatives and friends to accompany you. More importantly, your partner and children are also with you. You should be happy. I hope you'll be happy every day in the future."

I felt off at Marius' sudden blessing.

My brows furrowed as I looked at Marius. "Why are you suddenly saying all this?"

"No reason. I just felt like it. What? Were you moved by what I said just now? Do you want to be with me now?" Marius winked and teased.

"Why are you saying all that again?"

Marius lowered his head and laughed lightly. "Alright, I'll stop joking around. I really hope you can be happy every day and not be bothered by things." "Yes. I think I will."

"Get in the car. Go home and get some good rest." Marius' eyes fell on my car.

I opened the car door and sat in. Marius closed the door for me. He then leaned against the window and looked at me. "This is what you promised me, yeah?" With that, he grinned that perfect smile and walked toward the elevator.

"Marius..." I whispered his name.

Thank you very much.
