The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1709

Chapter 1709



Since Xander had confirmed his relationship with Jerome, he slowly shifted the focus of his work to behind the scenes.

After all, they were in a relationship that could not be made public for the time being. If Xander continued to make public appearances, then Jerome would soon be exposed.

Xander choosing to go behind the scenes was also to let the public forget him as soon as possible so that he and Jerome could be inseparable.

When I thought about it like this, I fell into a trance for a while.

Xander's fingers snapped me back into reality. "What are you thinking about? Look at you being so focused."

"It's nothing. Are you also buying things in the supermarket?" I asked casually.

He smiled and nodded. "Yeah. Did you think I was there to go to a concert? Come on, I'll take you back."

I did not refuse.

After sending me to the villa, Xander was about to leave. I stopped him. "It seems like you didn't manage to get anything. Why don't you and Jerome come to my place for dinner tonight?"

"Sounds good. We'll come over later." Xander readily agreed to it.

Hence, in the next hour, Caroline and I were keeping our hands busy cooking up four dishes and one stew.

Coincidentally, Theo came in with Xander and Jerome.

"You guys are right on time. We can start eating soon."

Theo did not seem ecstatic over their visit. There was no smile on his face, and he had a stiff expression.

I touched him and motioned for Theo to entertain the guests.

Under my command, he made a statement, "Make sure you eat up."

He might as well not have said anything.

I grinned brightly and said, "You boys don't be too polite now."

"I sure won't. We're friends, after all." Jerome started placing all of the dishes on his plate. Well, it seemed like he was truly not being too courteous.

Meanwhile, Xander ate in a reserved way. He chewed slowly and did not forget to put

attention to me. "By the way, the media has been exploding in the past two days.

They're suddenly reporting that Serena Zoel's death had something to do with you. What's going on?"

After swallowing a mouthful of food,

I slowly responded, "Yesterday,

Serena's parents came to stir up

trouble in Grant Corporation, and a

bunch of media reporters

surrounded us. Just like that I'm

famous again."

It was no wonder the rich and powerful families had so much news surrounding them. They were all hyped up by the media.

"Then you shouldn't be going out these days to avoid what happened in the supermarket today."

Xander's inadvertent words caught Theo's attention.

He put his utensils down and said solemnly, "You went to the supermarket today? What happened?"

"I was just so bored that I went to

the supermarket to buy some groceries, but I was quickly recognized and surrounded. Thankfully, Xander was there to help me out." As I described the events that happened in the evening, Theo's expression became more solemn.

'Crap. I'm getting punished again tonight.'

I screamed inwardly.

Xander and Jerome left hastily after dinner, lest Theo's burning flames spread to them. Those two freaking losers.

Looking at Theo sitting quietly on the sofa, I walked forward slowly and quietly observed him. Seeing his stern face, I smiled and said, "Why are you just sitting there and not talking, President Grant? Why don't I keep you company?"

Hearing my voice, he raised his eyes, pointed to the seat next to him, and motioned me to sit down.

Although I was reluctant, I had no other choice but to sit down.

"Didn't I say you couldn't go out?" Theo's voice sounded so cold that I had goosebumps.

I pouted and nodded. "Yeah, but I was just a little bored. I promise, there'll be no next time."

Seeing me promising to him so quickly, Theo seemed like he was helpless against me. "Wanda, you know that I'm worried about you."
