The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1976

It was late at night when we got back to the villa.

Nicky seemed to have been waiting for me in the living room for a long time, and when she saw me coming in, she got up.

I glanced at her before going upstairs.

Obviously, Nicky stopped me. "Wait."

Turning my head, I looked at her calmly with my brow raised slightly. "What is it?"

She approached me step by step. "Have you made it clear to Tyler?"

There was a trace of doubt in her eyes. I did not understand what she was trying to say. "What did you think I told him?"

Nicky shed all pretenses and said to me, "There’ll be no more people breaking into our house in the middle of the night, yes?"

I smiled. "Are you worried that someone will expose your true colors again? It’s not as if I can predict that. They all have power, after all. They can enter if they want."

I shrugged. I did not want to be entangled with Nicky anymore. I wanted to get rid of her and go upstairs, but she still came up to me and held me back. "What do you mean? Could this kind of thing still happen?"

I shook off her hand. I looked at her and iterated every word clearly, "You should have thought that there would be such consequences from the moment you released the news. I’m not them. I have no way of knowing what they’ll do next. If you’re worried, do something. It’s useless threatening me.”

Nicky frowned, unease filling her face. Her eyelids drooped slightly as she muttered, "Theo already asked me so many questions because of this. It can’t happen again."

It turned out Theo had questioned her. No wonder there was such a huge shift in her mood.

"We all support you."

Everyone's approval was the biggest encouragement and motivation for me. I had also chosen to live in the villa and work at Grant Corporation to keep abreast of the situation. Hence, even if I had to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, I would forge ahead.

When I returned to the company after lunch, Hattie came over and glared at me sternly the moment I arrived at the department. "I knew you were slacking by eating so slow."

I looked up at the time. There were still five minutes until the end of the lunch break. "I came back early."

"I'm the acting chief, so I'm right. If I say you’re late, you're late. The windows on the fifth floor are very dirty. Go and clean them."

Not wanting to argue with her, I nodded and then went to grab the tools before leaving the department. I did not even look at Hattie as I went through the motion, which made her angry.
