The Woman From Hell

The next day, in the company.

Shannon arrived before me, and when she saw me, she came up to greet me. "Wanda, have you decided anything about the matter yesterday?"

I knew Shannon really wanted this investment. After all, it could save the company a lot of money, and we could get resources for free. Looking into her expectant eyes, I glanced at the bag in my hand and patted it. "I have everything with me. I'll meet him after getting off work." Shannon stared at the bag closely and caught a glimpse of the sandalwood box inside. Her eyes widened. "Your adoptive mother's personal effects?"

"Yes."

"Wanda, you've sacrificed too much for our company." Shannon's tone conveyed the message of how great I was.

I laughed, dumbfounded. I looked up at her. "I'm also doing it for myself, actually."

"Huh? Why do you say so?" Shannon pulled open a chair and sat down.

"Theo analyzed the situation with me last night. Cole's desire for my adoptive mother's personal effects likely has something to do with her, and so, of course, me. If I follow the trail, I may be able to find out about my background," I said to Shannon in a low voice while imitating Theo's tone when he spoke last night.

She propped her chin and nodded thoughtfully. "That makes sense. On the one hand, it can help the company; on the other, you can also find out about your identity. You're killing two birds with one stone." "That's the reasoning." I patted the table, smiling brightly.
