The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1891

Chapter 1891



I spent several days working from home.

Days passed and everything was calm. Nicky had probably spoken to her mother.

Since things had been quiet for so many days, nothing should happen.

Hence, I would talk to Theo about going back to work in the company the next day.

"Why don't you wait a few more days?" Theo frowned after hearing my proposal. He obviously did not want me to go out.

I knew he was trying to prevent problems before they happened. "It's been so many days. Those who should have gone would have gone, no?" Theo still shook his head. "Maybe she's waiting for an opportunity."

That also made sense.

I lowered my head in contemplation and thought of a very important point. "I heard Nicky say that her mother is an impatient person. How could she endure not going after so many days? I think she has likely been persuaded by Nicky."

I looked up to observe Theo's expression while I said that and saw that his expression was still solemn.

Pursing my lips, I murmured, "So do I have to hide at home for every day that she does not show up? It's been so many days. If I still bump into her when I go out, then it's destiny that I should face this matter. I admit that, alright, Theo?"

I nudged him.

Theo finally compromised, likely because I was making a fuss. "Okay, you can go back to work."

"You're so great." I patted his cheek.

He looked at me with a half-smile, his expression one of helplessness. "Alright, can we sleep now?"

"Okay." I lay down without hesitation, and Theo covered me with the blanket. He was still handling some work matters, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.

My neck started feeling more and more uncomfortable. What was happening?

I opened my eyes, and the hazy environment made my heart lurch.

I was dreaming again.

Before I could react, someone grabbed my neck in an instant. I could not see that person's face, but they were squeezing so hard that I could not breathe.

Her vicious voice echoed in my ears. "It's all your fault! It's all your fault that my daughter has that scar on her face!"

Nicky's mother?

This thought immediately pulled me out of my dream to reality.

I woke up protecting my neck and gasping for breath as I shook my head. After washing up, I went downstairs. After having breakfast, I left for the company.

Nicky was still on leave, and the office was empty. The project she was working on had been

temporarily transferred to me. Hence, someone brought over a lot of documents when I arrived at the company.

I had not been here for a few days, and I guessed there would be a lot of them. Although Theo would bring some documents back for me to check from time to time, some of the confidential documents were stiff kept in the company.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Everyone who came to deliver the documents said this.

I did not dally and went straight to work and time passed in a blink of an eye.

"Wanda, would you like to eat together?"

"No, just pack me some food later." There were still documents that I was not done going through, so I did not really want to delay the work here. "Alright."

After sending off the people from the department, I continued immersing myself in the documents.

I was finally done when they came back after eating.

"Your food."

"Thank you."

Only then did I start on my lunch. I had just taken a few mouthfuls when I heard quite a number of people talking outside.

"I think someone brought a reporter over when I came in just now."

"What a grand gesture! What happened?"

"I don't know, it feels like something big."

Reporter?

Could it be...?

I immediately went downstairs after I reacted to it.
