I made a face and kept quiet.“Are you worried it’ll be bitter?” After a short while, he grinned. He lifted his eyebrows up a little, his eyes shining like the sun and his smile extremely alluring. It was a shame he did not smile often.He got up, took a bottle of honey out of the fridge, scooped out a few spoonfuls, dissolved it in water, and passed the cup to me. He said, “It won’t be bitter anymore after this! Let’s eat that medicine now. There’s a good girl!”I… Was he treating me like I was three?Exasperated, I took the cup and gulped it down.Once I was done with the medicine, he took the cup from my hands and washed it in the sink.It was a surreal feeling watching him, with his tall and lanky frame, slave away in the kitchen. Tonight, he was giving me all his love, and it felt unreal, like a dream I had stolen for myself temporarily.There were ripples in my heart even though it was obvious he was only doing all of this for the baby.“What are you thinking about?” Whil

When we got home, Miss Woods came out to greet us with a huge smile on her face. “Madam, you gave us all a fright! Go lie down quickly, I’ve made you soup!”“What are you doing here, Miss Woods?” I was genuinely happy to see Miss Woods. She was one of the few people that had sincerely cared about me back in the old mansion, other than Grandma.“Young Master requested that I come. Look at you! Why didn’t you announce your pregnancy? It’s such big news! What would we have done if something really bad had happened to you? Thank the heavens! Old Madam would be elated if she was here…” Miss Woods wiped some tears from her eyes. It was obvious that she was genuinely happy for me.I was slightly moved. I thought no one wanted this baby or cared about it. It looked like I had been mistaken.Theo cast a glance at me, warmth filling his eyes. “Let’s go up and lie down for a while.”I nodded. I had not slept very well the previous night, so because of that and my already weary body, I felt w

I narrowed my eyes and shot him a cold glance before turning my head away, not wanting to pay him any attention.He was slightly taken aback when he saw me, but he soon started jeering at me. “Wow, Mrs. Grant sure did take her own sweet time coming into work this morning.”“I don’t think I’m under your area of jurisdiction, President Nichols. Whether I come in for work or not is none of your business,” I replied faintly.“Wanda Lane, I never knew you were like this! I thought you proclaimed that Cecilia Shane was like family to you? How can you still come to work when your family’s locked up? How coldblooded of you.” Zedd sneered.I had been perfectly fine before he brought that up. The cheek of him to bring Cecilia up! I was burning with rage, and I furiously glared at him. “I never knew how lowly and despicable President Nichols could be so as to please Ms. Reed. How loyal!”Zedd’s face contorted. As he was about to speak, I interrupted him. “God sees all. You’d better pray that

Theo darted a glance at me and pulled out his phone to call his assistant. “Keith, come to West Mountain’s ring road to drive a car back.”He wore a dark countenance the whole way back and did not say a word. My anxiety allowed me to ignore the fact that he was angry, and I said, “Theo, if there really was a secondary car accident, there might still be traces of evidence at the scene.”After a very long time, he finally said, “I figured out the same thing. I checked it carefully earlier but didn’t find any trace of evidence.”My heart sank to the bottom of my stomach. Was I supposed to watch Cecilia go to jail and not do anything about it? No. I could not stand doing such a thing.Theo looked at me and after a very long time, he said, “Don’t get too anxious yet. I’ll introduce you to someone later.”“Are we going to see Cecilia?” I leaped up from my seat. I had no interest in anything else besides seeing her.“What could possibly change after you see her?” he looked at me and ask

“Wouldn’t it be inappropriate and disrespectful if I wore something so casual?” I was still a little worried.“This isn’t casual at all. We went the extra mile to get new clothes, after all.” He continued to speak in a righteous manner.“This looks so similar to the one I was wearing earlier—they’re both homewear.”“The difference is huge. Look, this dress has a collar but the one you had on earlier did not.”Just like that, Mr. Theo Grant had gone to the mall to shop for clothes, used his bodyguards to clear the place out, and ended up only purchasing a set of homewear.After getting into the car, I furiously said, “I’m mad, Theo.” This had been his first time taking me shopping, and I was tremendously disappointed.“Why?” He turned around to look at me, his face full of questions as though he truly did not understand my anger.“No one takes a woman shopping like that. I can’t believe you’re a company’s president!” I turned sideways, speechless.He was nothing like those domin

“Hahaha, this young lady is pretty shrewd, huh? You’re a good judge of character, accepting such a perfect lady as your goddaughter, Petra. Mr. Grant is really lucky to have such a clever and beautiful wife.” Mr. Zach happily raised his glass.Theo stood up and took the wine glass from my hands, giving Mr. Zach a professional smile. “Thank you for the kind words, Mr. Zach. My wife is pregnant and can’t drink, so I’ll toast on her behalf.”“You’re too polite, Mr. Grant. Cheers!” Mr. Zach clinked glasses with Theo with a wide grin.“Alright, you don’t have to worry anymore now. Since Mr. Zach has agreed to help you out, he’ll definitely get everything settled soon. Sit down and have something to eat. You’re pregnant, and you shouldn’t starve yourself.” Petra pulled me to my seat with a smile, sounding just like a loving mother.I finally breathed out a sigh of relief. I softly said, “Thank you, Petra.”She smiled, not saying a word, and turned around to chat with the others.After

Having said that, she packed up all sorts of snacks and fruits for me, as well as a thermos full of soup.I could not refuse, so I took everything. It would make a pretty good lunch, at least.Upon arriving at the office, Heidi reported that preliminary work was underway. The celebrities were all staying in the hotel and the director was giving them their final instructions.The first filming location was to be indoors, inside a shopping mall. To not disrupt the mall’s shops, the filming had been set to begin tomorrow night.Everyone was doing their own job, and there was nothing much I could help with.“Wanda…” Heidi did not leave after she finished reporting on work. She hesitated to continue.“Is there something difficult you want to say to me?” Seeing her reluctance, I had no choice but to prod her on it.“Oh, no…” Heidi immediately waved her hands. “It’s about work… Sigh, well, Newlight Media said that Sandy has to be the spokesperson, no matter what competition you decide
The Woman From Hell Chapter 75
When Heidi came in, I was sitting on the couch, sweating profusely and my eyes a little unfocused.“What’s wrong, Wanda?” Frightened, she quickly rushed over.Her voice finally brought me back to reality. I looked up and said in a soft voice, “I’m okay. I was just a little cold earlier. Can you switch the heater off for me and grab me a glass of warm water?”Heidi brought me a glass of warm water and said worriedly, “Maybe I should take you to the hospital. You don’t look so good.”“I’ll be fine in a while. Go ahead and do what you need to do. I’ll rest for a while.” After drinking my water, I weakly laid back down on the sofa.All these years, I had tried to forget that. However, after a single phone call today, all those emotions were flooding back in again.Just then, the phone that I had tossed into a corner started ringing again.I was startled. I instinctively covered my ears in an attempt to block out the sound, but the phone would not stop ringing.I was too afraid to p
