The Woman From Hell

Chapter 1068

I tagged along. When we got to the washroom, Shannon had already helped Elena out. It looked like she had fallen quite badly.

Shannon looked at me and said, "She seems to be suffering from a fracture and may need to go to the hospital.”

When I saw that Elena’s eyes were red as though she was holding back tears, I looked at Theo and said, "You should take her to the hospital. We still have things to d o later and can't take her there."

Shannon widened her eyes, then looked at Theo as she said somewhat grumpily, "I have nothing to do. I can take her there." "No," Elena spoke, her voice a little choked a s she looked very aggrieved. "It's not that serious, really. I can go to the hospital myself."

Theo's gaze fell on me, but I pretended to not see it. I reached out to tug Shannon's sleeve, saying indifferently, "Come with me to the company. Just let Mr. Grant take Ms. Mandez to the hospital.”

Shannon frowned. "M-Mr. Grant?"

Theo sneered and retracted his gaze from me. He picked Elena up and left.

"Wanda Lane!"

Shannon looked like she was so angry she was about to tear up. "Are you sick in the head? That’s your man. Are you going to push him to another woman just like that?"

I felt tremendously suffocated and spoke in an icy voice, "We have nothing to do with each other anymore."

Shannon took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart as she said, "How is i t that you have nothing to do with each other? You're legally husband and wife. Who are you to say that you

have nothing t o do with each other?

“Didn't you see the look in Theo’s eyes when he looked at you just now? He loves you very much. Don’t you know that? Don't you think you’re too ungrateful for pushing away a man who loves you so much? Don't you think you’re too selfish and heartless t o hurt someone who loves you so much?"

I froze, my mind was momentarily blank.

Shannon looked at me with a gaze full of disappointment. "I suddenly find you frightening, Wanda."

She turned around and walked away after saying that.

I quickly chased after her and held her back, saying, "This is my business, Shannon. You really don't have to be so concerned or mad."

Shannon stopped in her tracks and looked back at me. Her glistening eyes were filled with disappointment. "Indeed, it's your business. I, as an outsider, have no reason t o be this mad, but I'm only human. Since I treat you as my friend, I can't bring myself t o remain indifferent."

She continued after a pause, "I liked you very much from the moment we so tacitly escaped together without exchanging a single word. From the time we survived in the forest together, up until the time you figured out how to rescue us from Milan, I've always thought of you as a brave woman who has an exceptional sense of justice. I thought we shared the same views, so I told myself that I must be best friends with you.”

Seeing that her eyes were red, I froze." Shannon...”

"I'm mad now because I suddenly realized that you're different from what I imagined you to be. Also, you’ve never treated me as your friend this whole time, right?"

I shook my head. "That's not true."

Shannon sneered. "No?”

"Wanda, you’ve never seriously made friends with anyone. You don't love Theo nor treat me as your friend. Frankly speaking, you just think everyone's a passerby in your life and treat everyone the same. You think of all individuals as people you can talk to as friends, and that includes Dazaray. Even though she's really despicable, you still place both of us in the same position."

She continued after a pause, “If you love him, then you wouldn’t have turned a blind eye to the constant attention he gave you just now. That includes the silent rejection he kept making earlier. You pushed Elena t o him with no regard for his feelings and think it was only right to do that. You think others won't be hurt or sad, while you're the only one who will suffer and get hurt, right?”

I froze. This was my first time hearing such a comment.
