The Woman From Hell

Theo leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. His smile seemed a little helpless. "I simply don't know what to do with you. Let's go to the hospital some other day, then. We should grab our dinner now." In the next few days, Theo was busy almost every day, so the hospital examination was delayed indefinitely.

Grant Corporation had to hold a lot of meetings at the end of the year. There were meetings about this year's revenue, the development plans for the coming year, and the documents that Theo needed to go through. Things piled up one after another. He left the house early and came home late almost every day.

I resigned from Fredericks Corporation but had to follow the resignation procedures. Thanks to Cally's help, the resignation procedures were done very quickly.

Initially, Theo and I planned to invite Shannon over for a meal, but he was simply too busy. Neither of us knew when he would have the time, so I decided to invite Shannon over myself.

Though little did I know, when I gave her a call, she had already left Whaldorf City.

I sensed that she had things to say to me on the phone, but it seemed inconvenient for her to do so. Hence, she gave up in the end.

Carson was found innocent, so he was released and allowed to go home.

He was getting older and older and loved to have company. He called us as soon as he was released, inviting us over to have a meal together.

When Tyler called me, I promised him that Theo and I would go over on Saturday night.

I asked him about Susan on the phone, but he seemed reluctant to talk about it, so I did not press him on the matter.

On Saturday afternoon, I tidied up the house and changed into warm attire. I then left the house, driving straight to Grant Corporation to wait for Theo to get off work so we could go to the Schumans' place together.

When I got to the entrance of the company and stopped the car to give Theo a call, he did not answer it. I then called a few more times but he still did not pick up.

I figured he must be busy, so I did not continue calling him and started browsing videos on my phone in the car.

My phone suddenly vibrated. There was a notification from WhatsApp.

I clicked it and saw that it was a text from a number that wrote:
