The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1326

He checked the box and probably thought that there was nothing wrong with it, so he looked at me and said, "I don't know much about your adoptive mother. I want this box just out of pure curiosity."

"Okay."

I sighed. What else could I say?

"Does Theo know that you're giving me this box?"

"He does."

Jordan frowned, seemingly a little puzzled. "And he didn't say anything?"

"He didn't." I looked curiously at him." What's wrong? Is there something wrong?'

Jordan shrugged. "No.

After the meal, I drove straight home.

Theo called me as soon as I got home.

When I answered the call, his low and attractive voice rang out. "Are you home?"

I glanced at the time. It was probably time for him to get off work. After putting down my car keys, I said with a smile, "I just got home. When are you coming back?"

"I'll go back as soon as I get off work. Do you miss me?" His voice was as melodious as ever. My face was a little flushed now.

I lightly coughed and avoided his question. "What would you like for dinner? I'll make it for you."

He did not reply immediately and seemed to be thinking very seriously before saying, "How about I eat you?"

What was in his head every day?

After that, I bickered with Theo for a while more before hanging up the call.

I went upstairs to get changed and planned to go to the kitchen to cook.

After washing my hands, my phone rang.

I glanced at it and saw that it was from an unknown number. After thinking about it, I answered it anyway.

Before I could say anything, there was wailing on the other end. "I knew rich people like you are wolves in sheep's clothing. You could've been honest with us if you didn't want to help us. Why are you being such a hypocrite by pretending to be a nice person?"

I was a little puzzled. After a while, I asked, "Are you Amelia's mother?"

"It's me," Amelia's mother said in a choking voice.

I thought about it and spoke in a faint voice, "Ma'am, I promised to do my best to help you as long as it's within my scope of capabilities. As soon as the result is out, we'll immediately send a lawyer over to talk to you about the compensation."

"The result is out, isn't it? They've already contacted us. If you don't plan to compensate us, then just say so. Stop delaying us. When her body is cremated, you'll definitely claim that Amelia killed herself and nothing we say will be of any use." Amelia's mother was a little emotional. Her words carried accusations and distrust.

I was indeed unaware that Amelia's autopsy report was out.

I frowned. "Ma'am, please calm down. I didn't know that the report was already out. Can you wait a while more? I promise to discuss it with you when I find out what's really going on."

On the other end of the phone, Amelia's mother fell silent for a long time. Just as I thought that she was going to continue to lash out at me, she said with sobs, "Hurry up, then." After hanging up the call, I felt mentally drained.

Being soft-hearted was not always a good idea. I sighed and called Keith.

The call was answered in no time at all.
