The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2033

That remark drove my thoughts wild, and I failed to get a good night's rest in the second half of the night.

When I woke up the next day, it was already mid-morning.

After opening my eyes, I looked at the time on my phone. It was noon. I yawned and turned over, still feeling very sleepy. Just as I was about to go back to sleep, someone called me on WhatsApp. It was Shannon.

I casually answered the call, my voice still hoarse. "What's up?"

Shannon was obviously surprised when she heard how off my voice sounded. "No way, are you still sleeping? Don't you know that something has happened?"

"Does it have anything to do with me?" I asked in a daze.

"Of course. Theo lost another big project. I heard the shareholders will be holding a board meeting next week to replace him!"

"Oh, is that it? Ah? What? They want to replace Theo?"

I had not registered it at first, but then I bounced off the bed. My mind was instantly awake.

Shannon noticed the change in my mood, and her tone took on a serious edge. "Let's see now if you still can sleep!"

"You said he lost a big project. What kind of project is it for it to have such a big impact?"

"See for yourself."

She threw me a media report, and I read it out loud as I went through it. "Northern Road Real Estate?"

"Yes, Grant Corporation won this project in a previous bid. I didn't expect it to be snatched away so easily. What a pity." Shannon's tone was full of regret. She sounded like she felt sorry for Theo.

I had some understanding of this project. In order to win it before, Theo followed its development for several days and stayed up for several nights before he was fully prepared to win it. Successful development of the land from Northern Road was sure to be lucrative.

"They already signed the contract. How can it still be taken away?"

"Didn't you read the contract? The other party made it clear that Grant Corporation's reputation mustn't be affected when they signed the contract, but you saw how much trouble they got into during this time." I still could not wrap my head around it. "This is a really strange contract."

"That land from Northern Road used

understand what I'm saying so far?" Hearing this, Labruptly realized then that it was no wonder their reputation had to be intact because it would have affected RT. Now that Grant Corporation's reputation was on a decline, however, RT definitely could not sit still.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy for them to replace Theo. Grant Corporation will descend into chaos the moment his position is vacated unless they can find a suitable person to take over Their share would also have to

be more than Theo's, so I don't think it's possible."

"This, I don't know. I don't have any inside information. You can go check it out if you want to know more."

After hanging up the call, I was lost in thought.

Ring!

I received a message on my phone. My face twisted gradually as I read it before I replied.

After washing up, I went downstairs. Drover was not there, but Marius was sitting in the living room in a daze. It was rare to see him so quiet. I glanced at the date. "Isn't it a weekend today? Drover isn't here?" "He should be busy during this time. It's good that he isn't here too. It'll spare my eyes," Marius blurted out.

The two of them had not reconciled yet.

I went over and sat down as I let out a few chuckles. "What's up? You two still fighting a cold war?"

"I can't help it. I can't let my anger go." He crossed his arms around his chest, puffing up.

"I'm curious. What is it that made you so angry?"

I was frank like how Marius usually was, but this time, he was cautious. He looked at me and shook his head. "It's nothing."

The more they hid things from me, the more curious I became, but I actually had my doubts.
