The Woman From Hell

Chapter 824

Knowing that Theo had come back, Munchkin wanted to see him.

I embraced him and said helplessly, "Theo has a lot to do lately. Try not to disturb him."

Munchkin agreed obediently. "Mommy, Theo seems to have never-ending work to do. He sounds like he's having a hard time."

I smiled slightly. "If he wants to stand out above the crowds, then he’ll have to endure the hardships that ordinary people can't."

Munchkin partly understood. "Then I must be able to endure hardships as well."

After watching TV in the living room for half an hour, I was just about to take Munchkin upstairs when the bodyguard informed me that Liz was here.

I was not expecting her, but now that she was already here, I could not chase her away. I had no choice but t o receive her.

However, she did not give me the chance to receive her at all as she started shouting angrily as soon as she entered the villa. "Wanda Lane, I thought you were trying to help Matthew by giving him a lump sum of money but you were only trying to ruin him! How can
