The Woman From Hell

The car was quiet once again. I starter the car and drove back to the villa.

On the way back, I rolled down the ca windows and let the wind blow agains my flushed face. After Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

some time, I finally felt better. However, Theo’s words, “You owe me a child.” kept replaying in my mind

It seemed like he had really gotten hims unk for the past few days because of our child. He must have

genuinely loved the child a lot! That was why he blamed himself for not protecting the child well.

When I thought about this, I was overcome with heavy emotions.

But what could I do?

Cindy was his responsibility. She was a responsibility that he would never letg o of for his entire

lifetime. If I insisted o n keeping the child, Cindy would threaten me with her life again. He would be the

only one suffering then.

I was already tired of this emotional struggle between the three of us. Now with a child in the picture, I

did not dare to imagine what would happen.

Hence I had made the best choice for all of us. I would bring the child away, and he could continue

looking after Cindy. This would be the best outcome for everyone.

My thoughts were all over the place as I continued driving. Soon, we reached the villa,

I looked at Theo’s face as he slept. I opened the door of the passenger seat and shook his arm. Theo

Grant!” I called out softly.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He then turned around to look a t me. “Did you take me

home?” He asked in an even tone.

I nodded. It seemed like the alcohol was wearing off.

“Let’s go in. It is late.” After going through an eventful night, I felt rather tired.

He did not say anything. He simply leaned against the seat motionlessly. He seemed to be deep in

thought. “Do you need my help?” I asked. He was slowly getting sober. Perhaps he did not have the

energy to get down from the car.

“I will sleep here for a little while longer.” After that, he closed his eyes once again.

My outstretched arm was left there for

a moment. After a while, I retracted my arm and said, “Sleep all you want then!” After that, I turned

around and returned to the villa.

I returned to my bedroom and took a bath. Afterward, I laid down on the bed. Lightning flashed outside

the window, indicating that it was about to rain again. I got worried. After hesitating for a moment, I

decided to get up and go downstairs.

Cool

Luckily, he had already come inside the house. He was lying on the sofa.

I then turned around and returned to m y room.

The next day when I woke up, Theo was nowhere to be found.

After brushing my teeth and washing u P, I headed straight to the company. 1

As soon as I stepped in the door, Heidi ran over and spoke in an urgent tone,

The shareholders want to convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. We are all

waiting for you in the meeting room.”

“An extraordinary general meeting for shareholders?” I looked at Heidi in shock

“That is not all. The investors and commercial sponsors of The Biography of Empress Anna’ are there

as well. The director is there too There was a bitter expression on Heidi’s face. She was so nervous

that she started stomping her foot.

What in the world happened?” I asked with a heavy tone.

This morning, we had announced that we were terminating Sherry Young’s

contract. We had paid her compensation. The company had lost a large sum of money. Once the

shareholders heard about it, they

rushed over immediately. The sponsors and director were notified about it as well.

“A termination of contract? Why did I not know anything about it?” I was slightly confused.

“I heard that the President announced the termination himself. Besides, the investors, commercial

sponsors, and the director are all here to ask for clarification and compensation after hearing that we

were changing the female lead. Fried calling you all morning, but your phone was turned off.”

I just recalled that Theo had turned off my phone last night. I had forgotten to turn it on.

My head started to hurt.

Theo had terminated Sherry’s contract without notifying me. He was willing to pay the compensation

worth tens of

millions without a second thought just for Cindy

Had he never thought about the sticky situation that I would be in? How would I explain it to the

shareholders and the Sponsors?

After thinking for a while, I turned and told Heidi, “Go to the meeting room and handle the situation first.

I will head over to the headquarters.”
