The Woman From Hell
Chapter 506

Chapter 506

Theo narrowed his eyes dangerously.

I quickly nodded. "I know."

This man would be far from human when he lost his mind, so it was wiser to give in when necessary.

Zedd was in charge of holding Grant Corporation's annual meeting. Theo asked me if I wanted to go to the meeting but I did not want to. Besides, the Schumans were about to hold a family dinner soon.

Yvonne had given me a call before this, inviting me to go to the Schuman's place earlier to stay there. It would not seem appropriate if I did not live even a single day in the Schuman's house before my name was recorded in the family genealogy.

Tyler gave me a call asking me when I was going so he could come and pick me up. After telling him the date, I told him about the incident where I had injured Cindy.

Tyler laughed cheerfully. "I'm liking your new changes more and more."

I furrowed my brows. "Serious."

"Alright." Tyler cleared his throat. "Why didn't Petra and Grayson pursue this matter?"

I raised my eyebrows. "How do you know that they're not pursuing this matter?"

Tyler snorted. "If they were, then I wouldn't be able to reach your phone by now. Also, I would’ve received news about it."

I cast my eyes downward. "Cindy refuses to let this drop, obviously. She wants me dead. But Petra and Grayson decided to let it drop because they didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. I’m not sure why, though."

Maybe they knew that Cindy was not their biological daughter. However, I was still not clear if Cindy was their biological daughter or not.

"Alright."

Tyler lowered his voice. "I won’t let them touch you. Try your best to stay away from Petra and Grayson from now on."

I hummed a reply.

Tyler chuckled. "I ordered a few gowns for you. Find time to go to the shop to try them out. It’ll be New Year’s soon and lots of banquets will be held. You can't wear shabby clothes to attend them, can you?"

"I have gowns." I pursed my lips. "In fact, one gown is enough. It's just this time of the year where it's needed the most."

Gowns were expensive, and one could easily cost up to tens of thousands of dollars, which would amount to a n astronomical amount of money for a few gowns. Besides, apart from attending banquets, I would never wear these gowns anywhere else. It would be a pity to just store them in the cloakroom.

"Are you worried about the money?"

Tyler knew me well, indeed.

"Don’t worry, you don't have to pay anything. Things that symbolize wealth, like these gowns, are necessary. Otherwise, others will think that you're not presentable enough. Also, you should wear the jewelry that Theo bought you. Stop dressing yourself up like a working-class lady."

Me,"???"

He was mocking me, right?

I exhaled and reminded myself not to be mad.

"Carlson will probably invite Grayson. Be prepared," Tyler slowly said.

I furrowed my eyebrows.

I would have forgotten that the Louises were a distinguished family in Whaldorf City had he not mentioned it. The Schumans would surely invite the Louises to their banquets or it would seem pretty offensive.

However, even if he attended, it did not matter. I was not concerned and just thought I should not be fighting with Petra and Grayson anymore.

The things I did this whole time had cost the family greatly. I asked myself if I could not end their lives, then how far could I possibly go?

Ruin their reputation and make them disappear from Whaldorf City?

That would take a long time and a massive effort. It was not achievable in the short run and would be tremendously exhausting for me. It would also be hard to get along with life.
