The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1157

Chapter 1157

Just as the words left his mouth, Theo walked out of the villa.

He was clad in a black suit, carried himself in an imposing manner, and glanced indifferently at mebefore quickly getting into the car.

It was hard to hail a cab around here, and with the resort being so far away from here, even if Imanaged to get a cab, the driver might not want to take me there either.

I knew that I shouldn’t be stubborn during emergency times like this, so I looked at Keith and said,"Thanks."

You're welcome, Mrs. Grant.

I waited at the gate. When Keith drove the car out from the next door, I opened the front passengerdoor.

Seeing a lot of items placed on the seat, Keith said a little awkwardly, "Why don't you sit at the back,Mrs. Grant? We have a lot more files these days and they can't fit i n the trunk. That's why they'reall placed o n the front seat."

I nodded. "Sure."

Although it was awkward to be with Theo a t the back, there was no other way.

When the car started, Keith probably felt that it was too quiet in the car and wanted t o liven themood up a little. Hence, he started talking to me. "Mrs. Grant, do you know that things have gonemissing in the research institute?"

I nodded. "Gaily called me this morning

and told me.

Perhaps only Elena and her team knew how much loss would be incurred after the high-techequipment was stolen.

I looked at Keith and asked, "Ms. Mandez will be going too, right?”

“Yes, she’s the director of the development team and has to go there in person to inspect and checkthe inventory of the lost items. Those items were researched by her and her team for almost twoyears. They haven't been perfected and replicated for the time being. They'll probably be sad overthis incident."

I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say.

The incident had already happened, and what we could do now was to go to the scene to take alook.

Elena was already at the research institute when we arrived.

She stood in the research institute looking at the broken equipment and research products with apained expression.

Jordan was speaking to the police. When h e saw that Theo had arrived, he hurried over toapologize. "I'm really sorry, Mr.

Grant. I'll offer you an explanation as soon a s I can."

Theo nodded and swept his gaze around the research institute, asking, "Have you taken note of themissing items from the inventory?"

Jordan shook his head. "Ms. Mandez is checking the inventory now."

At this moment, Gaily trotted over with a guilty expression and reddened eyes. It seemed like shehad just cried.
