The Woman From Hell

Jordan picked up where I left off the moment I stopped. "I was still very confused at the time. I even thought she was messing with me, but I was convinced after."

Shannon glanced at Jordan as she raised her brow with a profound meaning. "That project was so important to you that it took several days to decide on the cooperation. What method did Wanda use to convince you?"

Hearing this, I was slightly taken aback.

Shannon's words were very clearly sour, but before I could speak, Jordan answered first, "She revealed to me the partnership process between Drover and Grant Corporation. They were very mature going into the project at the time, and it was strange that Drover would suddenly want a new partner. After weighing the situation, I chose to give it up."

After all, they would have lost everything if they failed.

The phone rang after Jordan was done. He went to the side to answer it and then looked at Shannon apologetically. "I have something to do at the company. I'll go back first and come by again later. I'll leave Wanda to accompany you first."

"It's okay. Go on."
