The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2011

This meant that during this time, Marius could only stay put peacefully.

However, he would not be bored since I was also here.

I kept hearing him complain every day, though. "When will this leg of mine get better? I really want to go out and jump around."

I turned to glance at him and smiled softly. "You did it to yourself since you weren't looking at the path. Let's see if you dare do it again next time?" "If I could have foreseen this, I definitely wouldn't have done it." Marius sighed again.

I lost count of the number of times he sighed that day.

Cradling my phone, I read the news. There did not seem to be any news about Grant Corporation for many days. What was the situation now? Perhaps Marius knew...

Thinking about this, I coughed a few times to get Marius' attention. He turned to look at me.

He looked at my face, and there was a tinge of caution in his words. "What is it?"

"I wanna ask you for some news. You said the artificial intelligence project between Grant Corporation and Drover isn't a trivial matter. Why is there only a beginning and no end to this big matter, then? I don't see any news. What's the situation now?" I asked him.

Lying on the sofa, Marius looked at me with a thoughtful gaze. "You really want to know because you can't forget your old love, Theo, huh?"

I denied it without thinking and shook my head. "Not at all. I'm just curious about the progress of things. Besides, there was such a huge fuss about it before. It's hard for me not to be curious, okay?" "Really now?" He still looked like he did not believe it.

I nodded firmly without thinking. "Of course."

"Alright, there's no harm telling you." Marius sat up.

I guessed it right. He really did know about it.

Straightening my back, I listened carefully to what he had to say. "They caught someone from Grant Corporation. She was the inside thief. She's an acquaintance and a friend of Nicky's. She sold company information and got a lot of money for it."

"I guess this is what it means by 'birds of a feather flock together'," I lowered my face and whispered to myself.

Marius continued, "They found her,

but it's too late now. The other company registered the patent one step earlier than Grant Corporation The milk is spilled. Grant

Corporation now needs to pay for the liquidated damages according to the contract. This incident is a huge blow to Grant Corporation. They must have spent money to keep the media from publishing about it, but everyone in the industry already knows. I think Grant Corporation has

suffered a heavy loss this time."

This loss was not just in terms of money. More importantly, it was a loss of reputation and development.

"This is what Theo deserves. He trusted Nicky too much."

After going through such a big incident, there should be objections from the board of directors. Perhaps Theo had already been fired.

I shook my head and shoved his matters aside.

"Now that you know the outcome, how do you feel?"

"Well, I suddenly feel better." I smiled brightly.

He looked at me suspiciously. "I thought you'd feel sorry for him. Such a huge incident has occurred,

after all. Their shareholders will have

their opinions. They might even

force him to resign."

I knew that Marius was deliberately making exaggerations. I glanced at him and said superfluously, "That has nothing to do with me."

"Tsk tsk, women sure are cruel."

"It's not that women are cruel. It's that you men don't know how to cherish them," I replied to him with a roll of my eyes.

Marius waved his hand. "Don't include me. I cherish them very much."

Without replying to him, I fell into deep thought...
