The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1887

Chapter 1887



Nicky requested a two-day vacation from Theo. She had never asked for leave during her tenure at Grant Corporation. This time, it was probably to accompany her parents.

Nicky was not around, and I happened to go to Theo again to ask him to arrange some work for me. He simply asked me to follow up on the artificial intelligence project on Nicky's behalf.

Fortunately, I had a chat with Drover about this before, so I got started pretty quickly. Still, I did not understand some of the more technical parts, so I had to look up some information once in a while.

After returning home, Theo was also rather considerate. He explained to me some of the relevant content in detail according to the project and I finally got a better understanding of the project.

As soon as I got busy at work, the nightmares no longer knocked on my door.

I slept well at night and woke up in a very good mood the next day.

I had just gone downstairs when I heard Caroline and Theo talking. I stepped forward and asked with a smile, "What are you two talking about?" Caroline took a step closer to me and was about to speak but Theo stopped her.

Caroline only glanced at me before entering the kitchen.

My intuition told me that something had happened.

Turning my eyes to the man at the side, I tilted my head. "Theo, what's the matter?" He took me to the dining hall and sat me down. "There were people making trouble for the guards at the door just now."

Theo's tone was calm as if it was not a big deal.

After taking a bite of my bread, I said lightly, "Why would someone be making trouble? Who were they?"

"Director Doyle's parents."

Theo's reply startled me.

Nicky's parents...

I immediately guessed that they had come over because of the scar on Nicky's face. I put down whatever was in my hand. I stood up and was about to go out when Theo pulled me back. "Why are you going?"

"They came because of Nicky's scar. I'll go and clear things out to them," I looked at

Theo and replied sternly.

He shook his head. "Forget it, they're gone."

Seeing that Theo's expression was a little helpless, recalled hearing Nicky say that her mother valued her face the most. Now that she hada scar, she would definitely be on it like a dog to bone. Nicky probably told them because she had no other choice.

"Considering her mother's personality, she'll definitely go to the company if she's unable to look for us here." I sighed. After all, I caused this incident, so I should come forward.

Theo held my shoulders. His eyes were firm. "I'll handle it. You should stay away from the company for a few days and work from home. I'm afraid they'll hurt you."

Theo had most probably investigated Nicky's parents and knew about their personalities. That was why he was worried that they would harm me.

It would be too hard for me to just stay at home.

"I'll find it even more difficult to bear if I don't know the situation. They probably won't do anything in the day." pursed my lower lip as still thought of facing them. I did not want Theo to handle it alone.

Theo insisted, however. He shook his head at me. "Be good. If you don't appear, I'll be able to solve this problem properly. Trust me."

Looking into his deep eyes, they were filled with determination, so I nodded. "Okay, but you have to tell me whatever the result is when you come back at night."

"Okay." He caressed my head, and the corners of his mouth finally lifted into a smile. "You be good and stay at home while you handle your work. If Drover needs anything, I'll have him come over to look for you."

"I got it."

In order to spend more time with me, Theo only left for the company after a long time had passed. After sending him off, my heart began to feel restless. Although he said he would be able to handle the matter properly, my heart kept rattling...
