The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2021

"You went to investigate Heather?"

He sounded calm, but I felt like I was chained by long-standing shackles. I was already struggling to move, and now, I could not move at all. It was like I had been caught again.

My eyes flickered slightly, and Driver caught it immediately. He put his hands in his pockets, a faint smile appearing on his lips. "I was right."

This affirmative tone was the same as his firm expression.

He seemed to know where I had gone today.

Having guessed that, I looked at him before opening my mouth and softly asking, "You sent someone to follow me?"

He laughed in a low voice before turning around and taking a few steps toward me. "You've been talking to Marius about Heather these few days. You think I didn't know about that?

"Say it! Why have you been asking about her?!" He growled these words after turning his head to glare at me.

Uneasiness flooded my heart again when he glared at me. Now that he knew everything, I might as well spill everything and be honest with it.

Thinking of this, I said, "I want to help you deal with the knot in your heart. I want to know what the woman you care about is like. Is this enough?"

I said this very seriously, and my expression was solemn as well. This was all to express my sincerity to Drover.

Drover looked like he was moved. I

caught a slight change in his expression and knew that I had managed to get a stab at him. I continued, "You've helped me a lot and I wish to return the favor. I've witnessed your affection for Heather during this time. I envy her very much. She's still so missed despite no longer being around. But I'm also curious about the kind of woman she was to have you so infatuated with her like this. I found out through my search that Heather was an artist under Nectarine

Entertainment. I used to manage it."

Hearing my words, Drover seemed a little surprised. He frowned. "You used to work for Nectarine Entertainment?"

"Yeah. Theo created Nectarine

Entertainment for Cindy at first

before it was later transferred to me to manage. But I got into a fight with Theo three years ago. I left Whaldorf City and Nectarine, which is why missed Heather. I went to Nectarine today. I wanted to look for her information in the archives, but I couldn't find anything. Logically, the archives should have information on all of the artists." I paused upon speaking up till this point. I looked up at Drover and observed his expression.

Drover no longer possessed the commanding demeanor he had before. His expression contained a little more searching now.

I also gradually relaxed. I breathed a

sigh of relief and continued. "I went

to see Keith after that. He knew the most things since he was Theo's former assistant. I proved my conjecture by talking with him. was not that there was no

information on Heather in tovet.net

archives. It was that Theo had kept all her information in a safe. But no one knows where the safe is now since Theo himself has also forgotten."

I stopped and looked at Drover after I was done talking.

His head was bowed in thought. I wondered what he was thinking about.

Taking a few small steps, I saw the thoughts floating in his head. He looked up at me after a while. "Do you really have no other motive?"

"What other motives can I have? I have nothing to do with Heather. I wouldn't try to learn about her if it wasn't for helping you with that knot in your heart. I just don't want you to live in the shadows of the past." I looked at him, wholly sincere.

Drover finally let go of his defenses and returned to his usual gentleness. His expression changed slightly and his voice was soft, "I'm sorry, I wasn't being very nice just now."

I shook my head and smiled. "It's nothing, I understand."
