The Woman From Hell Chapter 174
After hearing what I had said, Miss Woods’ somewhat morose expression lit up.She said with a smile, “Young people like you don’t enjoy cooking. You’re pregnant now and shouldn’t be eating out for all meals of the day. That’s so unhealthy. Give me a moment, there’s still half a chicken in the fridge. I’ll make soup for you right away.”“Okay.” I smiled and followed her into the kitchen.“As long as you don’t mind having me around, I’ll stick around to take care of the two of you and not leave again. I believe the late old lady will be pleased with such an arrangement too,” Miss Woods talked nonstop as she cooked.“Oh, please do, Miss Woods. You’d better keep your promise. I was hoping you’d take care of my child for me.” I leaned on the doorframe to chat with her.Being needed was a blessing for the elderly!Though I was not hungry, I drank a big bowl of soup after Miss Woods finished boiling the soup. By the end of it, I felt as though my belly was about to burst open.I then b

“She never tells me where she’s going. The two of us don't communicate much if we’re not at home together. You’re acting a little weird. What exactly is going on? Has she kidnapped your husband and hidden him away for her daughter?”“I just received a call, and I think they got into a car accident. Can you find out the specifics for me?”I was not in the mood to joke around with him. Mason and Zedd had not picked up my calls, so he was the only person I could find that might be able to help.“Okay, I’ll investigate immediately,” he said solemnly, putting aside his previous unruly demeanor.After hanging up the call, my heart continued to pound. I was unsure if I was nervous or afraid. I clenched the phone so hard that my palms became sweaty, and I paced back and forth in the room anxiously.Ten minutes later, Xander called me and said, “I’ve booked the earliest flight tomorrow morning. Are you coming along?”There was a thump in my heart. I had still been feeling quite hopeful ju

Although I was terrified when we first got on the road, I had calmed down now.Slowly, I recalled the time when Grandma was still alive. Afraid that Theo would leave me alone after she was no longer around, she opened a small company that produced shampoos and gave me 50% of the equity.However, due to poor management afterward, the business closed down in just less than two years.As I did not contribute money nor took part in the management, I did not pay much attention to this matter. When Theo told me that the company went bankrupt and the site would be given to Zedd, I did not think much about it at the time.I did not expect that this company still existed and something this serious had happened.When I arrived at the Administration for Industry and Commerce, a man in civilian clothes sat across from me.“Ms. Wanda, we learned that your company’s product caused a customer to experience serious hair loss due to issues in product quality two years ago. The customer eventually

Having said that, he fell silent again before saying, “If you’re smart, Wanda, you should know that sometimes, if you insist on doing something, you’ll only end up being the unlucky one in the end.”“What do you mean by 'I'll end up being the unlucky one in the end’?” I felt like I was being pushed into a major conspiracy. Most importantly, I had no idea what they were up to at all.Zedd did not say any more and hung up straight away.Seeing the crowd, I felt a little afraid and pulled out my phone to call Cecilia.“Where are you? I was just about to call you.” As soon as the call connected, Cecilia’s anxious voice was heard.“Downstairs of Grant Corporation,” I replied weakly.“Don’t go in. I watched the news and this is huge. I’ll come and pick you up immediately.”“No, I’m not going in and am on the other side of the road. I drove here. You don’t have to come out.” I did not want to go in when the situation was this bad either. Therefore, I revved up the engine and drove to C

A big part of Salt City’s economy depended on the Grants. With the closure of shopping malls, hospitals, and the construction industry, the entire city was almost at a standstill. Although the government had stepped in, the stockholders were convinced and wanted to see Theo in person.There was nothing I could do but read the news every day. I was all over the internet, and I was too afraid to go to the company. Moreover, there were a lot of things that I could not figure out. All I could do was stay indoors in an anxious state.Cecilia would buy various groceries every day and cook all sorts of dishes for me. Her culinary skills had improved considerably, and I could almost swallow the food she made.“You shouldn’t get too anxious. You’re pregnant, and your belly is growing bigger and bigger every day. Your health is of utmost importance. The things going on now are completely out of your control,” Cecilia said and comforted me.I nodded, but I had no appetite to eat. Although I u

“Forget it. You’re no VIP, so who would bring Grant Corporation down because of you? They would be offending Theo. In Salt City, that’s a name that can induce fear in anyone who hears it!” Cecilia refused to believe me.Cecilia did not know the reason for it, nor did I have the energy and time to explain it to her.I had doubts in my mind. Xander said that Grayson and Petra were in the ICU as well. Would they really take things this far for their daughter? Even to the point of putting their lives at stake?Perhaps the scene at the hospital was also part of their schemes?At the thought of this, I pulled out my phone to give Xander a call.The call was answered after two rings. “How are you, Wandy? Are you safe now?”Xander asked anxiously, his voice slightly weary. However, he still remained concerned about me, which made me slightly moved.“I’m okay. I’m safe.” I got up and stood on the balcony, looking at the traffic below. I said, “How are things on your side? How’s your moth

He was a little surprised to see me come in. "How did you get up here?""I can't fly, so of course, I walked up with my own two feet."The investigator on the side looked at me and said to Zedd, "The audit has basically been completed and the results will be released tomorrow. From the current preliminary investigation, there’s nothing wrong with Grant Corporation’s operation except for a portion that’s Mid-Nutri Technology. It’s expected that you can resume business very soon.” He got up and left after saying that.Zedd got up to walk him out. “Thank you. Sorry for the trouble.”When the investigators had left, he leaned back on the sofa and smoked. He appeared easygoing and relaxed as though nothing was going on.I could not sit still thinking about my worries and fears these days. I was angry. I went up and put out the cigarette in his hand. “Mr. Zedd, I need an explanation for what’s been happening recently.”He was not mad after his cigarette was snatched away. He looked at

I staggered backward. The pain in my heart made it hard for me to breathe. I had thought of countless possibilities in the last few days and guessed many people. I was even bent on thinking that Grayson did it.Though who knew that the result turned out to be such a huge slap in the face?This was all indeed a conspiracy against me. They were merely going with the flow and glad to see it happen.Not wanting to stay here any longer, I covered my chest and left the building that made me feel suffocated.What happened next was similar to what I thought.The results of the inspection were out. After conducting an investigation into Grant Corporation, they found no irregularities.The death that happened outside of Mid-Nutri Technology was merely a coincidence. There was no direct evidence to prove that it was related to the company. As for the accounts, I was the one doing it in secret and had to bear all the responsibility for it.Therefore, I was expected to bear the penalties and
