The Woman From Hell Chapter 2735
I was inexplicably nervous entering Yard Mansion.The housekeeper took me to the living room. She opened the door and let me in. "Miss Lane, please come in.""Thank you."I caught a sweet perfume scent that only women wore when I entered. Was there someone else here?I looked toward the sofa and saw a beautiful woman sitting there looking at me. Her red lips were pulled into a bright smile. "Sylvester, Miss Lane is here."She knew me.Sylvester turned around. "President Lane, you're here." I went up to them, my gaze falling on the woman. "This is...""Hello, my name is Rooney Taylor," she introduced herself. "My girlfriend," Sylvester immediately added.I had never heard about Sylvester having a girlfriend before so I gave her a nod. "Hello, I'm Wanda Lane.""I know. Sylvester mentioned you, you're his sister," Rooney said without hesitation.I was stunned. So, that was how Sylvester had been introducing me. There was a special feeling in my heart.Sylvester glared at

“Tidied up?” I unconsciously voiced out.Rooney caught this and answered me without trying to hide anything, “Yes. Chairman Yard probably isn’t going to come back and just settle abroad. That’s why it’s getting tidied up.”“I see.” I looked at the people coming and going upstairs, doubt filling me.I had wanted to get some more information from Rooney but then Sylvester appeared. “I’ve looked through the project. It’s not bad. I’ll go to Grant Corporation tomorrow and hash out the details with President Grant.”That sounded like he was chasing me away.Could Sylvester really be hiding something?So as to not arouse suspicion, I smiled and replied, “Alright then. I’ll take my leave first now. I won’t disturb you two anymore.”Just when I was about to leave, Rooney grabbed hold of me. “Sylvester, I haven’t talked to anyone for so many days. Finally, another girl comes over, so why don’t you let her stay a bit more to keep me company?”Sylvester glanced at me before looking back a

I was just a step away from my mother’s room. I reached my hand out toward the doorknob before lightly turning it open.No, I could not go in now.This was not the best time.I pulled back my hand and turned to leave.When I came back to the room, Rooney had just come out of the bathroom.“I’m sorry to keep you waiting. My tummy was a little unwell,” Rooney apologized with a smile. Her smile seemed to put all the flowers to shame.She was a really beautiful girl!Her every move and action looked so beautiful to me.For a moment, I could not help but be stunned by her.“Wanda?”Her voice brought me back to my senses.“Let’s go look for Sylvester.”“Alright.”I followed Rooney downstairs. Sylvester just so happened to notice us and looked up. “Did you guys simply run about?”Sylvester was obviously directing that at me.Just when I was about to reply, Rooney beat me to it. “We didn’t. Wanda has been keeping me company in my room.”“That’s good.”Seeing Sylvester heave a

"Rooney Taylor?" Theo frowned, expressing his doubt.I told Theo about my visit to Yard Mansion, and he seemed very interested in Rooney. "Since Sylvester seems dead set on Rooney, then you should be able to stay in Yard Mansion as long as you grasp the opportunity to get along with Rooney. That way, we’re one step closer to our objective.”Theo was right. If I could stay over at Yard Mansion, then nighttime would be the most suitable time for me to look around.I nodded thoughtfully and looked at Theo. "Let’s do that. I’m now mostly certain that Silas had lied to me. He wouldn’t have taken Gareth away otherwise.”The man in front of me smiled gratifiedly and rubbed my head. "Even so, you have to find the evidence. That’ll be the real end.""Okay, we’ll go with what you said." I leaned on Theo's shoulder, and it gave me a great sense of security. I had once thought of escaping, and that would practically be my failure to appreciate his kindness."Right." Theo seemed to have thoug

After having reached an agreement with Sylvester, Theo would pull Sylvester in whenever there were good projects. Gradually, Sylvester also lowered his guard.My relationship with Rooney was also improving. She called me that day."Wanda, Sylvester will be working overtime at the company tonight, and I’ll be home alone. Would you like to accompany me?" I could imagine Rooney’s pitiful gaze at the moment based on her voice.This was a good opportunity. Sylvester would not be home.I agreed, "Okay, I'll get ready and head over in a bit.”"Okay."After hanging up the phone, I turned to look at Theo. "Sylvester is working overtime tonight, and Rooney asked me to accompany her."“The opportunity has come. Take hold of it. I’ll wait for good news. Of course, you also need to be careful…” Theo could not help himself from telling me everything I should pay attention to.I kissed the corner of his mouth. “I’m just going over for one night. Wait for me.”“I’ll take you there. I’ll fet

This was probably the day Thomas Grant met my mother for the first time. Silas has unexpectedly been watching them. Although their voices were soft, I could hear their conversation clearly. "I'm already married, and I have kids. We're very in love. I can't bring myself to marry you." These were my mother's cold words to Thomas Grant. The video was a little fuzzy, but I could clearly see Thomas' look of understanding. He just nodded a few times. "I actually also have someone I like. We have children too. I'm just meeting up with you to get President Yard to give up and let him know that it’s impossible between us."It turned out that nothing happened between Thomas Grant and my mother.Just when I was about to continue watching the videos, a voice sounded outside the door, "Who's in there?"Sylvester had returned. I closed the video and tried to look for a hiding spot, but I was too late. The lights came on and Sylvester was standing at the door. His brows furrowed as he

Sylvester looked at me, the faintest trace of a smile still on his lips. "I'm not Millicent and John’s child at all. I'm just an orphan Silas adopted.”He looked at me with eyes filled with mockery and even a little self-deprecation.I was stunned when I heard this. My legs froze in place as if they had been cemented in place. I wanted to move, but I could not. "You’re…not?”He shook his head. "I'm not. Millicent did give birth to a son and a daughter back then, but he died a long time ago. Silas kept this secret to avoid outsiders talking about how he had not only separated a couple but also killed his grandson. So, he went out somewhere and brought me back since I was the right age."No one could even begin to imagine how my life has been the past 20 years." There was despair in Sylvester’s eyes as he raised his head. "I’m just some child he brought along with him. As if Silas would treat me well. He would beat me as a way to vent when he was in a bad mood, and I’d have to grin a

I was shocked but then came back to my senses and met Sylvester’s eerie gaze. “Nothing. I just thought it was weird.”Sylvester smiled when he heard that. “I just cleaned the place. What’s weird about it? You should go back quickly and rest.”After Sylvester told me who he was, his attitude toward me had also grown colder, probably because he did not need to act anymore.“Alright, I’m going back now.”In the end, I entered the room while he watched. He seemed worried I would go wandering around Yard Mansion.The next day…I was having breakfast with Rooney.“Wanda, did you go out yesterday night? It felt empty beside me for a time.”Rooney asked this, and Sylvester and I looked up.“Uh, yes. I woke up for a bit,” I replied lightly.“Why did you wake up in the middle of the night?”I knew Rooney not asking this with some ulterior motive, but for a moment, I was unable to think of how to word my answer.Beside her, Sylvester spoke up at this moment, "I might have accidentally
