The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2024

Nicky looked at Munchkin. There was a wicked charm in her eyes. I quickly shielded him behind me and looked at her vigilantly. "Munchkin is still a child. If you're going to do anything, just come at me." Hearing this, she shrugged and looked at me with a funny expression. "It's broad daylight. What can I do? Since you've disturbed us, an apology would suffice, no?"

She just wanted an apology?

I opened my mouth. "Alright then."

After sorting out my emotions, I said sincerely, "Director Doyle, I'm truly sorry for not taking care of my child today and allowing him to disrupt your work. I request your understanding and forgiveness if he has brought you any disturbance. I will teach him a lesson when I go back."

Hearing my apology, Nicky smacked her lips. She seemed to be taking to it. "I think just a verbal apology is too easy. Why don't you perform some real action, such as bending over and bowing or something?" "Nicky, isn't this request a bit too much?" Theo could not help but speak up from the side.

Nicky obviously would not let us go so easily. His words only aggravated our situation.

Sure enough, after hearing what Theo said, Nicky's initially soft expression instantly turned furious. "Are you actually speaking up for them? If Wanda doesn't bow and offer her apology today, I'll never let it go!" "I came up here according to the rules. Even if you won't let me go, Director Doyle, what can I do?" I said lightly. There was not the slightest emotion in my eyes that was directed at her. Holding Munchkin's hand, I was about to leave.

Behind me, Nicky's voice sounded again, "Wanda Lane, you ought to think through the things I'll do if you leave like this. You don't know the price that you'll have to pay."

I was not worried about what she would do to me. I was just worried about what she would do to Munchkin.

I stopped and hesitated.

"Have you given it a thought, Wanda? My patience is limited."

I could imagine the arrogant expression she was wearing on her face at the moment despite my back facing her from her cocky air. sighed. So be it, then. This would be for the child's sake.

Turning around, I stood in front of her and bowed down. "We're really sorry for causing trouble to you, Director Doyle. I hope you'll be able to forgive us. I'll definitely discipline my child in the future."

Click!

Nicky snapped a photo of this scene with her phone and smiled contentedly. "I didn't expect you to beg me like this one day, Wanda. Well then, I'll forgive you if I must: Just this once. If you come and harass us again, it won't be that simple." She emphasized that last part.

"Understood."

After that, I pulled Munchkin and immediately left the office.

I did not get far and heard the sounds of an argument from the office. It was mostly Nicky.

"Theo, you actually spoke for her? I'm your current wife. Just who are you siding with?!"

I heard all of this but could not hear the rest as we had gotten too far. In short, Nicky was throwing a fit because Theo spoke up for us.

"Mommy, are we still staying at Uncle Drover's?" Munchkin looked up at me.

I nodded. "Yeah, we'll stay there first."

"It doesn't matter, Mommy. We're flexible people. One day, we'll make that bad auntie pay," Munchkin said these cruel words.

It was even more interesting to see the ruthless expression on his lovely face. "Enough, you. You're just a child. This has nothing to do with you. Be good and go back to school, okay?" "Okay, Mommy."
