The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1896

Chapter 1896



Nicky went back to work at Grant Corporation since she had moved back into the villa.

However, she did not seem to be welcomed when she returned.

After what happened that day, most people avoided her, worried that if they were to hurt her even a little, her mother would come to settle accounts with them.

"I thought Director Doyle wouldn't be coming back anymore. I didn't expect her to come back after her mother got her wish.

"I think Director Doyle is rather pitiful.

Having a mother like that, it's enough that she runs around causing a fuss, but to even turn the inte upside down. Fortunately, President Grant has connections." "That's right, Director Doyle is living in President Grant's home now. Wanda truly has such a big heart."

I listened to their conversation. It must be uncomfortable for Nicky to be talked about like this by everyone.

I glared at them. "Do your jobs."

The few of them looked back at me before flashing a small smile but did not say anything.

At this point, my gaze turned to the office, and through the glass door, I could vaguely see that Nicky was working hard.

She must have heard it all but was pretending not to care.

Maybe I should go see her?

Thinking of this, I involuntarily stepped forward and knocked on the door of her office.

After hearing a 'please come in,' I came back to my senses.

Since I was already here, I might as well go in.

I pushed open the door and Nicky looked up at me. When she saw that it was me, her initially calm expression brightened up. "Wanda." She smiled and greeted me.

I pulled the chair across from her and sat down. "Are you okay?"

I ask directly without preluding anything.

Nicky was stunned for a moment. She then seemed to understand and smiled. "It's nothing, I don't mind it."

I looked at her carefully. The

expression on her face did not change. It looked very bland as if she really did not care about it, but was there really anyone who would be unphased when faced with people's comments?

"Anyway, don't take it to heart." I did not know what she was really feeling and could only tell her what I thought.

She smiled lightly. Holding a pen in

her hand, she tapped the table.

"Actually, ever since the day my mother came to Whaldorf City, I already guessed that she had such thoughts. I had made preparations in-advance. So, I've already expected the situation to turn out like this."

Nicky lowered her eyes and looked a little helpless. "They're not condemning me.

They're just sympathizing with me, no?"

They sympathized with her for having a catty mother. This was probably what she meant.

I bit my lower lip, not knowing how to respond for a while before shaking my head. "Things will get better after a few days. It's fine." "Yes, thank you for coming to comfort me." Nicky smiled at me.

"I'll head back to work first, then." I stood up before turning around and making my way to the door.

Just when I reached my hand out to open the door, Nicky's voice suddenly came from behind me. "Wanda, if later, my mother..."

She suddenly stopped midway through her sentence.

Not knowing why, I looked back at her. "What is it?"

Nicky shook her head with a small smile at the corners of her mouth. "It's fine. Let's work first."

After she said that, she lowered her head and went back to her tasks.

I asked no more and opened the door before leaving the office.

J.ne

Just after went out and sat down in my seat, my mind fogged. Her incomplete sentence... Did she want to remind me of something? Was Hattie going to do something after?

I held my chin and thought but could not figure it out.

Nature would take its course, and I would just go with the flow.

With a sigh, I started checking the data while leaving personal matters aside for

the time being.
