The Woman From Hell
Chapter 706

Chapter 706

Theo came back half an hour later, looking very anxious and running into the villa. There was a layer o f beaded sweat covering his forehead.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw me sitting still on the sofa. He came over to sit down and took m e in his arms. He said in a low voice, "If Cindy comes and looks for you again, don't go out and see her."

As expected, Keith had told him everything.

I recalled the things Matthew just said and asked, "Is Quinn living in Salt City now?"

He froze for a moment and nodded. "After she was imprisoned, Matthew took over Zimmer Corporations a s a matter of course, so it’s no longer possible for her t o take back Zimmer Corporations anymore after she was released. That’s why she came back to Salt City."

Matthew blamed Quinn for his parents' death back then. He planned the incident three years ago to punish Quinn and I knew how he felt, but why would h e use the incident from three years ago to threaten m e? Was it just to make both Theo and I suffer?

I hugged Theo's waist and closed my eyes a little wearily. "How did Matthew become like this?”

He pursed his lips, not saying a word.

Thinking about the grim look on his face earlier, I sighed softly. "He has changed too much, and I find him incredibly strange now. He would never threaten me three years ago. I want to know what happened to him after I left."

Theo let go of me. There was a calm look in his eyes." He came back from overseas and didn't keep his identity a secret. After Quinn was imprisoned, he easily snatched Zimmer Corporations back. He was still very normal at that point.”

"When did he start becoming abnormal then?" I asked worriedly.

"After Jeshua learned about the truth of Nancy's death, the media under Grant Corporation wrote a news report about Nancy’s cheating and published it o n the Internet. Jeshua was already unwell at the time and was not able to last until the new year."

"What did you say?" I widened my eyes.

Theo was stunned.

Jeshua had passed away?

No one told me that, so I did not know anything about i t.

Theo held my hands. "No one told you, right?"

I squeezed my eyes shut and buried my face into his arms. "Who did this?"

How evil could a person be to tell an ill old man the real cause of his daughter's death?

Theo pursed his lips and gave an irrelevant answer," Matthew holds a grudge against Grant Corporation, and I learned that he set you up three years ago. As a result, both of us regard each other as a thorn in our sides. We fight openly and covertly in the business field, but none of us has benefited from it. He wants to take you away, probably trying to use the Schuman family's power against me."

I sighed, feeling a little helpless. I leaned on his chest, not wanting to speak again.

Why were there so many terrible things going on?

In the next few days, Theo saw that I was in a bad mood and had Keith purchase a lot of books about the bar exam. He was probably worried that I would be too idle and begin entertaining wild

thoughts.

On this day after eating lunch, the servant told me that Quinn was here.

I put down the book in my hand and got up to meet her at the door.
