The Woman From Hell

Chapter 1851



Since I had not seen Shannon in such a long time, it was very late by the time I got home.

Upon entering the room, Theo was sitting on the bed flipping through a magazine. He was obviously waiting for me to come back.

He looked up when he heard sounds. When he saw that I had returned, he put down the magazine. "Where did you go? You came back so late." There was only worry in his tone and not accusation. I put down my bag and responded slowly, "Shannon is here. I chatted with her for quite some time."

"Oh, I see." Theo just replied to me like this without any extra words.

This made me feel a little strange. "Why aren't you asking me how could she possibly come here?"

With a smile on his face, Theo placed the magazine neatly on the table and answered lightly, "I saw the news. Jordan plans to open a branch in Whaldorf City."

He should know about these current events as well.

I sat next to him with a worried look on my face. "Do you think he'll..."

Theo knew what I wanted to say. He held my hand tightly and gave me strength. "I don't think he'll act so easily after the last time, unless he's fully confident."

Fully confident?

I thought about his words, and unease spread through my heart. "The fact that he suddenly thought of opening a branch in Whaldorf City means it's most likely that he's coming for you."

Although his plan failed last time, it was not just a day or two that Jordan had been coveting Grant Corporation. As long as he did not get what he wanted, he would initiate other conspiracies and Theo would have to guard against him.

Theo lowered his gaze. His expression that had been bright just now suddenly darkened. He nodded. "Yes, I'll be careful. Don't worry."

Theo had been in the workplace for so many years. I believed that with his strength, he would not fall so easily into Jordan's trap. Yet, I still felt uneasy.

Looking at his confident gaze, however, the weight in my heart gradually sank.

"Alright, go wash up."

"Okay."

When I came downstairs the next

day, I saw Jenny applying

medication on Nicky. I hurriedly went over to observe the situation and noticed that the scar on Nicky's face was getting smaller and smaller. There were only some traces of it left.

I was all smiles. "This is great. It looks like this scar will be gone tomorrow."

Nicky also looked at me with a smile." Yeah, it's all thanks to Dr. Jenny's medicine."

"This is my job. Well then, I'll be back tomorrow." Jenny left the villa after applying the medicine.

I held Nicky's hand joyfully. "This is

great. When your scar is gone, I'll bring you to go meet a friend of mine." "Who is it?" "Her name is Shannon Collins. We met abroad.

She's also pregnant," I answered, not

thinking too much of it.

When Nicky heard the name, her pretty brows seemed to furrow. She said thoughtfully, "This name sounds familiar. Does she have something to do with Fredericks Corporation?"

"Her husband is Jordan Fredericks, the president of the Fredericks Corporation."

"I got it. I know her. The media covered them when they got married," Nicky said in a low voice.

I was never too clear about

Shannon's true background, but

when I thought of the old man Mr. Isaac's astonishment when she appeared in the bar before, her family must have some status.

Seeing Nicky's deep gaze, I could not help asking, "Nicky, what are you thinking about?"

She came back to her senses and then shook her head at me. "It's nothing. I didn't expect you to know Shannon."

"It was a coincidence. I'll tell you about it when we have time another day." I smiled.

Nicky nodded. "Okay."
