The Woman From Hell Chapter 22
When it came to dividing the assets for the divorce, Theo was very generous. Other than the shares that Grandmother left for me, he also gave me the villa, some other properties, and almost half of the company's dividends.Looking at this, I would leave as a wealthy lady. Even if I decided not to work for the rest of my life, I would not need to worry about food and clothing.I felt like laughing, thinking about it. Perhaps Theo figured that those were the things that I wanted from the start. As long as he gave me enough of those things, there was no reason for me to not agree to the divorce.After a moment, I took out a pen and signed the papers.When I returned to the villa, there was no one at home. Cindy had probably left together with Theo.I went up straight to my room on the second floor and turned on the light. I found Theo sitting on the sofa. The expression on his face was cold. He snorted when he saw me.My heart clenched as I controlled the uneasy feeling in me and lo

He suddenly let go, and I was free again. I did not open my eyes and just laid there on the couch like a dead fish.After a long while, he took me in his arms and held me close. Leaning against his chest, I could clearly feel the beating of his heart. Thump, thump, thump. It was strong.“How much longer do you want to pretend?” His deep, magnetic voice reached my ears.He raised his hand and pinched my cheek, but I still did not move.“How could you in your right mind decide to end the life of the child? Are you not ashamed?” The tone of his voice was a little low, but it was obviously not as angry as before.My heart skipped a beat. My eyelashes fluttered, but I still did not open my eyes.With a barely audible sigh, he carried me and gently placed me on the bed.There was an unusual emotion in me. For the first time in three years, Theo held me so tenderly.I thought he would leave, but he still stayed in the room. He even called Mason over to check on me.Come to think of i

I opened my eyes and gave him a puzzled look.“Look, although most jewelry is bought by men for women, the choice is in the hands of women. If you find a male celebrity to be your ambassador, his female fans might end up buying them. Even if they are not fans, they will still be attracted out of curiosity. Do you understand the concept of opposites attract?”Xander was in high spirits when he spoke. His handsome face was slightly blushed, making him look even more dazzling.He was right! Who said that jewelry must be represented by only women? There were even male celebrities who promoted sanitary pads now.Just like he said, most of the fans who religiously follow celebrities were women. If Xander, a celebrity with more than sixty million fans, were to be the ambassador, the impact would definitely be extraordinary.Why should I go through the trouble of looking for an international model if I already had a good candidate in front of me? “Wandy, it is not my place to criticize

I closed my eyes instinctively. If this slap could help him ease his hatred, I was willing to take it.In the end, the slap did not happen.He said hatefully, “Wanda Lane, you sure have guts!” With that, he turned around and left.Looking at his back, I sighed. This ending would be the best for everyone.“Theo will hate you forever.” Mason's cold voice could be heard from the door.He came in with my medical record and checked on my current condition. He said calmly, "The truth will come to light eventually. This trick of yours will not last long. With his ability, he will find out very soon."“By the time he finds out, perhaps the baby will have been born already.” I sat up on the bed and took the medical record from Mason. I looked at it and said, “I have to thank you for your help this time!”"It is the first time I betrayed my brother, and I cannot believe it is for a woman like you!" He mocked himself.“You meant well. Theo will surely understand.” Putting the record away,

“My mother told me that having an abortion is very harmful. You need to recuperate well. If your body does not recover properly, it will be hard for you to get pregnant in the future. You should rest more,” Heidi said as she looked at me. She seemed slightly worried. “I am fine right now, am I not? Do not worry. I know what I am doing. I will be alright.” It was not an abortion. I could not stay here too long as my belly would eventually show. If I did not settle this matter and leave as quickly as possible, people would find out about my pregnancy sooner or later. “Alright. Anyway, please pay attention to your health.” Heidi did not want to say much anymore. After putting down my things, she left in a hurry. It seemed like she had something urgent to attend to. After Heidi left, I was all alone in the large villa once again. I walked into my bedroom and turned on my computer. There was nothing much for me to do at home, so I started to look online for a place to stay in Ros

“I heard that he had been here for the past few days,” Cecilia said as she put her hands in her pockets. She pouted and said, “Well, you had just aborted the Grant family’s offspring. Naturally, he would be in a bad mood.” I was stunned. Did Theo really drink all this alcohol because of the baby? “I am busy. I will head off first. Please be careful when you head back later.” It seemed like Cecilia did not want to see Theo anymore. She turned around to leave. The pungent stench of alcohol and smoke lingered in the room. The smell was so strong that I found it hard to open my eyes, and my stomach lurched. I immediately got up to open the windows. As a gust of warm air blew in, I felt a little bit better. “Theo Grant, wake up. Let’s go back home.” I walked over and shook his body lightly. “Uh…” He murmured and turned around to continue sleeping. “Theo Grant, wake up.” I continued shaking him, this time with a little bit more force. Perhaps he got annoyed because I kept

I immediately let go of him and turned around to tell him, “If you do not want to leave with me, I will ask Cindy to take you home.” Anyway, he had not returned to the villa these few days. He was probably together with Cindy then. After speaking, I took out my phone. He grabbed me tightly, holding me with both his hands. He then turned off my phone to stop me from making any phone calls. I was on the verge of breaking down. I stared at Theo in exasperation and asked, “What the hell do you want from me?” He did not want to leave with me, nor did he want Cindy to take him home. Did he intend to continue staying here? After some time, he asked me in a soft tone, “Do you hate me a lot?” After a short pause, he added, “I did not protect him well.”I was stunned. I did not know what to say. Theo was probably referring to our child. “Do you hate me?” He continued asking me. He was being stubborn again. I spoke to him gently. “You know that I do not hate you. I have always lo

The car was quiet once again. I started the car and drove back to the villa. On the way back, I rolled down the car windows and let the wind blow against my flushed face. After some time, I finally felt better. However, Theo’s words, “You owe me a child.” kept replaying in my mind. It seemed like he had really gotten himself drunk for the past few days because of our child. He must have genuinely loved the child a lot! That was why he blamed himself for not protecting the child well. When I thought about this, I was overcome with heavy emotions. But what could I do?Cindy was his responsibility. She was a responsibility that he would never let go of for his entire lifetime. If I insisted on keeping the child, Cindy would threaten me with her life again. He would be the only one suffering then. I was already tired of this emotional struggle between the three of us. Now with a child in the picture, I did not dare to imagine what would happen. Hence I had made the be
