The Woman From Hell
Chapter 185

Chapter 185

"The Louises may not be one of the best among the gentry families in Whaldorf City, but they'redefinitely ranked on top. It’s not only because they're rich but also because several generations oftheir ancestors were officials.

"Grayson is the only exception. He enjoyed fighting since childhood, and although he later startedan official business when he grew up, he managed to develop his own power and became aresounding figure.

"In his youth, Grayson met Petra, a girl in university who came from the countryside. She came toWhaldorf City to study. It was love at first sight, but the Louises disliked Petra because of her birthorigin and refused to let Grayson marry her. The hardheaded Petra left Whaldorf City when she waspregnant. It was said that she returned to Salt City to marry an honest man.

"Though who would've thought that this honest man turned out to be dishonest? He resented thefact that Petra was pregnant before she got married and dumped the child after she was born. Petrawas in so much pain after learning about it that she divorced the man.

"Later, she went abroad with a wealthy businessman, who was also her third husband. Eventually,she became famous abroad for her designs and created her own successful business. Thoughunfortunately, her husband died two years ago due to an illness, so she came back and rekindledher relationship with Grayson. She also found her long-lost daughter."

At this point, Molly looked at Tyler. Tyler’s face was dark and profound. There was not a singleexpression on it.

She then looked at me and continued, "You know her daughter. It's Cindy. As they suddenly have adaughter now, the Louises are said to have acknowledged Petra. At the same time, they announcedthat they’ve accepted Cindy back into the family again.

"I heard that the Louises pampers the beautiful and generous Miss Cindy very much. They've notonly invited a professional to give her lessons on how to be a socialite but are also preparing tothrow a massive party to announce Cindy’s identity to the public."

The string of words that Molly uttered did make it sound like she was telling a story.

However, I was annoyed to hear it and looked up at her. "These are all stories of other people. I’mnot interested. If this is all you're going to tell me, then I'm sorry, I'm not interested.”

"Take it easy, Miss Lane. This may seem like it has nothing to do with you, but your husband has amajor involvement in it. Therefore, I think it's necessary that you understand the background story.”Molly looked a t me, not annoyed or furious. Her lips were even curled into a smile.

I sneered. "That's what you think. Thanks for the attention, guys, but no matter what my husbanddoes, I'll still trust him. I don’t want to hear anything about him from other people."

Tyler, whose expression was bland this whole time, suddenly smashed the teacup on the table. Hisexpression was livid, and his voice sounded furious.

"Do you not want to know or are you afraid to know? Wanda Lane, I have no idea what you're stillexpecting, but haven't you learned your lesson by now? You endured the humiliation and had toleave Grant Corporation with a bad reputation because of him. You've always been a prideful lady,but why can't you let go of this man and just leave him?"

I was furious and glared at him with wide eyes. I yelled back at him, "Whether I continue to wait orget a divorce now has nothing to do with you. Who are you to tell me what to do with my life? Whatright do you have?"

"The fact that I’m your brother and I care most about you in this world." Tyler's eyes turned crimsonas he glared at me with dark and sullen eyes.

"What kind of brother are you? Just because we used t o share meals together? If you still treat meas a sister, then please, Tyler, I beg you to please leave me alone

and let me be!”

I stood up and said in a cold voice, "Thanks for the tea. I'm leaving."

Having said that, I escaped the private room without waiting for them to reply and rushed out of thecafe.

Outside the door, Cecilia was pacing back and forth anxiously. When she saw me walking out, sheimmediately came up to me and grabbed my hand. She looked at me from top to bottom. "He didn'tdo anything to you, did he? Are you hurt?"

I shook my head and took Cecilia's hand as I walked down the stairs. "Let's go home.”

Cecilia looked back with unease. Upstairs, Tyler was standing at the door, watching us leave with athoughtful look on his face.

It was already midnight when we hailed a ride back home. After an entire day out, Cecilia and Iwere both worn out. When we got home, we did not even have the strength to speak as we quicklywashed up and went to bed.

Even though I was exhausted, I still woke up very early the next morning. I felt inexplicably anxiouslately and my sleep quality had been pretty bad too.
