The Woman From Hell
Chapter 650

Chapter 650

Without waiting for me to get up, Munchkin said voluntarily, "I'll answer the door."

I got up and went after him. When Munchkin opened the door and saw who was standing outside, he shouted, "Bad person!"

Fiona was standing outside the door. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She looked disheveled.

When she saw me, I did not even have time to react before she hurried toward me. She grabbed me and knelt before I could even do anything. Tears streamed down her face as she said, "Wanda Lane, no matter what, I'm the one who offended you. It has nothing to d o with my father. You can punish me however you like, but my dad is innocent.”

I managed to guess what had happened when I heard that. Charles had always been someone who took action quickly, and his actions had become difficult to anticipate after he took a higher position.

I initially thought he would begin his investigation the next day after his arrival and did not expect him to be this quick.

It had only taken several hours before Fiona came to m y door begging for forgiveness.

I pursed my lips together and shook her arm off. I took two steps back to put more distance between us. "I think you have the wrong person, Miss Cinny. This is not a church. You should have gone to a church if you wanted to beg for forgiveness."

Carlson and Fred walked to the door too. They must have heard the commotion.

They were startled to see Fiona, but they soon began frowning.

Fiona rarely watched the news, but she knew who Carlson was as well. When she saw him, she hurried forward and cried out, "Mr. Schuman, please let my father go. He's just an ordinary person who has done honest work. I shouldn't have caused trouble or acted arrogant and domineering."

She sobbed hysterically. "It's all my fault. Come to me i f you want to use your powers as an official to seek revenge. Please don’t do anything to my dad. You aren’t afraid of anyone because you hold a powerful position, but we're different. My dad has done honest work for many years. He hasn't caused any trouble or harm. He's just a low-ranking official who's struggling to climb up the hierarchical ladder. There's no way he can defend himself against you."

Every word and sentence she uttered implied that we were abusing our powers. She was saying that we did not distinguish right from wrong as we bullied others relentlessly.

Carlson had always been an honorable person. The look on his face darkened as he listened to her talk without saying anything in return.

Instead, he looked at me. It was apparent he was asking me who this person was.

I pursed my lips before saying, "Zachary Cinny's daughter."

A dark look appeared in his eyes, and he did not say anything else.

I looked at Fred and said, "You bring the kids and Carlson into the bedroom. I'll take care of this."

Fred looked at me and whispered something to Carlson before leading the kids into the bedroom. Carlson also went in soon after that.

It was just Fiona and me now. I was not in a hurry to say anything. Instead, I walked over to the couch and sat down before gazing coldly at her.

Perhaps it was because she was not being taken seriously by anyone despite kicking up such a huge fuss, so the expression on her face turned even uglier. She said, "Wanda Lane, what do you want to do?"

I laughed coldly. "If it weren't for the support behind m e, anyone else in my shoes would be the one begging you for mercy right now, right?"

Since she had even gotten her brothers involved, it was definite she did not plan on letting me off easily. I f I were lucky, I would still be alive.

Otherwise, I would be an abandoned corpse in the wilderness now.

It was an undeniable fact that having the right connections was important. They were so important that they could help you stay alive and even get revenge.

She suppressed her anger as she gazed at me and asked, "What are you going to do?"

I smiled. "I don't know how to do anything."

After a moment's pause, I continued saying, "I've already done everything I'm supposed to do. Everything that happens next will depend on your father. No one can do anything to him if he's innocent. However, if he’s not, he's not the only one who will be i n trouble because you will be too."
