The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2027

Drover had a smile on his face. He tilted his head, looking like he was trying to recall scenes from that day.

There was a long pause before he chuckled and said, "I just thought you were a little silly that day. If it wasn't for Theo by your side, I wouldn't have believed that you were husband and wife."

I did not expect the first impression I gave him to be like this. I was stunned for a moment before I laughed. "Forget about it. I was really confused that day. Alright, I accept that." Drover was obviously a little surprised by my reaction. He raised a brow. It looked like there was a bit of a smile mixed in. "What you said that day made me look at you with admiration, though."

He clasped his hands behind him and turned his back to me. His voice, however, was clear. "I had never met someone like you who could speak so freely despite not understanding anything yet make sense." Hearing this, I began to feel embarrassed. "I think I got in over my head that day and started blurting things out regardless if it was right or wrong. Thinking about it now, though, I had been too impulsive." "But you succeeded in making me remember you." He pursed his lips. They were in a slight smile, and when he turned around, his eyes were soft and sultry like the moonlight.

Sensing that the atmosphere was changing little by little, Drover opened his mouth silently.

As if realizing something, I quickly turned my head sideways and looked away. "It's getting late. I'm going back to my room to rest."

Probably because I said this first, Drover could only swallow back the words that had reached his throat before replying, "Sleep early. Good night."

"Good night."

I hurried back to my room, my heart pounding.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, I thought back to the scene when we were downstairs. Did he have something he wanted to say if I had not said anything...

I bit my lower lip as I felt mixed emotions in my heart.

Distraught, I picked up my phone and began swiping through it.

Since I usually paid more attention to commercial transactions, these were the kind of news that was recommended to me. This included the news about Grant Corporation that I had already seen.

Their projects had been snatched away one after another. I had wanted to ask Drover his reason for it, but later on, I felt like it would not be right to ask, so I did not.

Lying in bed, I put down my phone, my mind filled with thoughts.

I sighed. I did not want to think about it anymore, so I went to take a shower. When I came out, the screen of my phone was on. Shannon had called me several times, but I missed them.

I called her back, and she answered

fairly quickly as if she had been

watching over the phone. "Where did

you go? You didn't answer after I called you so many times. I thought you got into an accident."

Shannon started going off the moment she opened her mouth.

I covered my ears and shook my head a few times. "I went and took a shower, so I didn't hear my phone ring. So, what's the matter?"

"I was just swiping through my phone when I saw the news saying that Grant Corporation lost their projects. You probably already saw this a long time ago, yes?" "Yes, I did. What about it?"

"You're still so calm? I looked into it, and it's Drover's company that snatched them up. Just what are they doing? Former partners turning against each other?" Shannon's words woke me a little, and I suddenly realized. "You're right. Why didn't I think of this?"

My words confused Shannon a little, and it carried through in her voice. "What did you say?"

"You said Theo and Drover are turning against each other. I think it makes sense," I hid nothing from her and told her straight.

"Isn't it obvious? Who would normally do such an immoral thing?"

Competition in business was common but blatantly robbing projects, was unacceptable. This action violated business principles, but Drover did it. Did he have such adeep hatred for Theo?
