The Woman From Hell

I tried to recall and remembered the time he asked us out for a meal. He was in a bad mood and insisted on having Theo drink with him. In the end, both of them got completely wasted. At the time, I thought he and Susan were only quarreling like ordinary couples, hence I did not ask about the details.

Thinking about Tyler's state at the time, I figured what they were going through might not be as simple as just an argument.

I frowned slightly and asked, "So you're saying that Tyler is pretending to be anxious not because he wants someone to help him but purely because he doesn't want to see Susan?" Theo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Try thinking outside the box a little more."

I stroked my chin. "If Tyler is simply trying to avoid her, then it's even more impossible for him to dive into the details, let alone say things like not wanting to seek my help. Susan seems to know a lot of details and even called to ask for my help.

Someone must have said something to her, asking her to seek help from me."

Theo touched my ear, his eyes filled with praises for me. "My wife is the smartest. You're not inferior at all compared to me.'

The corner of my mouth twitched. "Quit complimenting me. I really want to know who approached Susan, and why did that person ask her to seek help from me?"

Theo did not say a word and merely looked at me with a pair of pitch-black eyes.
