The Woman From Hell

Nibel chose to have Pristine's celebration party at his own home.

He probably thought nowhere else was more suited than his own home.

I no longer felt a sense of foreboding coming to the resplendent villa again.

Nibel might have been deceiving people at the start because he did not want people to know he existed.

Thinking about it now, every step he took was also calculated.

Did he also have a plan for this Golden-O project?

Contemplating this, I was in a trance for a moment and only came back to my senses when Theo called my name.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking if Nibel had a plan since he agreed so quickly." I hid nothing from Theo. He might be able to take preventive measures if I told him about it.

Hearing this, the space between Theo's brows was pinched, but it was only for an instant. Regaining his usual calm, he then smiled at me. "We'll roll with the punches. It'll be fine." He was confident as usual, so I nodded. "Alright. Regardless, you should be on your guard."
