The Woman From Hell
Chapter 695

Chapter 695

Theo looked coldly at Julie and grabbed my hand. " Come here."

Julie froze for a moment, then hurriedly got up from the floor and walked toward me.

Before I could react, the sound of slaps sounded. Theo held my hand and made the strike. Rather than saying that I was the one who struck her, it was more fitting t o say that the slap came from him. I did not use any strength at all, and I might have already withdrawn m y hand before I even touched her face.

That hard slap caused the corners of Julie’s mouth to bleed. Theo was the one who struck with full force.

All of a sudden, the air was filled with a grim and cold aura. His anger had not dissipated yet.

He spoke in a cold and indifferent voice, "I don't wish t o see you again."

One simple phrase to end Julie's career.

I tugged at his sleeve. "That should be enough now. Heidi is in a rush to shoot the promo.”

Theo raised his eyebrows and looked at me, saying helplessly, "You've been bullied and all you're worried about is her promo shoot?"

I did not know what else to say so I simply kept quiet.

Theo looked coldly at Serena, his gaze bone-piercingly cold. Although he did not say a word, his gaze was enough to show that he was very displeased with Serena. Perhaps he was even disgusted with her.

Immediately after that, he looked at Heidi and Keith, his face full of displeasure. "You can't even watch after a person. What useless-"

"That's enough." I stopped him from continuing.

I did not care if he scolded Julie and Serena. However, neither Heidi nor Keith did anything wrong, so they should not be blamed for this.

Theo looked helplessly at me. "You're too soft-hearted."

I took his arm and said with a smile, "I’m hungry. Let’s go home and have something to eat."

Theo was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head to plant a kiss on my cheek. His eyes were so gentle that they could melt a person’s heart. "Alright, let's go home."

After everything that had happened, even if Heidi wanted me to help Serena with the promo shoot, Theo would never agree to it. Hence, Serena would have to d o it instead.

I walked up to Heidi and persuaded her, saying, "No matter what happens, work is of utmost priority right now, so just endure it."

She nodded. "I know."

Serena stood on one side and looked at Theo with a sorrowful expression. However, no matter how long she stared at him, Theo still spared no glance at her at all.

After Heidi and I finished talking, he brought me out o f the studio.

Sensing the gazes from the people around me, I gently sighed. The entire Grant Corporation would probably blow up this time.

Sure enough, not long after that, I could vaguely hear incredulous voices behind me. "Who is this woman?”

"Are both Serena and Cindy her substitutes, then?"

The voices faded into the distance. After getting in the car, I looked at him sideways. "Do you think Serena looks like me?"

He smirked, then smiled lightly. He rested his fingers o n my cheeks for a moment. "She doesn't deserve to be said to look like you.”

I pursed my lips and said no more.

Theo had not actually become warmer and kinder. Along with his growing experience, his methods grew even more ruthless and vicious as well. His actions were more reliable, and he was also better at concealing his emotions.

He gave me all the warmth and love he had left, which left me a little burdened.

After returning to Regal Villa, I looked at Munchkin hopping around in the yard and asked Theo, "When did Jerome bring him here?”

"I went to pick him up." Theo parked the car and leaned over to kiss my cheek. "It's time he came home."

I smiled. "Are you afraid that I'll run away?"

"You can't run away this time." He tightened his grip o n my hand. "This time I won't let you go no matter what." 1

His simple yet straightforward confession had made my face a little hot. "Let’s get out of the car." 2
