The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2194

"If I'm going to do something, I'll do my best."

Harriet pursed her lips indifferently. She smiled when she met my firm gaze. "If I agree to endorse your company, will you accept any conditions, Miss Lane?" "As long as I can."

"Then, what if I want you to divorce President Grant?"

Harriet's words startled me. How could she say such things?

Noticing my shock, Harriet laughed out loud. "I jest. Don't take it seriously. You were scared, weren't you, Miss Lane?"

Relieved, I looked up at her. She regained that friendly smile from before again, and I pulled away. "Then please think about it, Miss Osborn. We'll take our leave first." "Alright."

She watched us as we walked out the gate. After it closed, the weight in my heart also lifted.

However, there was something off with Shannon's expression. She pushed me, "Wada, do you think that what Harriet said was scary?"

"Which part?"

"That thing about Theo."

"It was a bit strange." I frowned. I was puzzled when she said that. She and Theo had only worked together once, so it was impossible for her to be harboring some secret love for Theo, right? Shannon folded her hands across her chest, looking thoughtful. "I think there's some trick to it. You have to be careful."

"Don't worry, we already have children. What's there to be afraid of?"

Embracing Shannon, I led her to the car, and we left.

Now that we had approached Lola and talked to Harriet, we could only wait for the result.

Back at the company, the secretary greeted us. "President Lane, President Collins, Mr. Anders from Firefly is here. He's waiting for you in the conference room."

Why did he come here so suddenly? Did he replace something?

"Shannon, you go back to the office first. I'll go meet him."

"Alright."

Cole sat upright in the conference room. He looked up when he saw me come in. "You left me waiting quite some time, President Lane."

I grinned. "I didn't know you'd be coming over, Mr. Anders. Sorry to keep you waiting for so long. Did you replace out anything?"

"Your adoptive mother, Sandra Tyler,

was born in Whaldorf City. Her parents passed away early on and so, she lived with her uncle. Life was very difficult. She didn't have many friends, but she had a close friend who was practically a sister to her."

A close friend?

I had never heard my adoptive mother ever mention a friend, so I did not know anything about her. "Who is it?"

"There were three major families in

Whaldorf City at that time who ran neck and neck with each other, monopolizing the entire market. Your adoptive mother's good sister Millicent Yard, who's also the eldest daughter of the Yard family, one of the three major families."

It was a character I had never heard of.

Noticing my confusion, Cole's inquisitive eyes fell on me. "You don't know her?"

I shook my head at him, confused. "I've never heard of her. My adoptive mother never mentioned her in the past, nor did she tell me about my biological parents."

Hearing this, Cole frowned slightly

but soon relaxed. "Soon after, her

uncle thought Sandra was becoming a burden and wanted to marry her off. Sandra did not wish to be manipulated, so she ran away from home. It was Millicent Yard who

introduced her to the

Mrs.

Tyler adopted Sandra because she

had no children. You already know

that your adoptive mother's

surname was originally Zane but was later changed to Tyler."

"That's how she was able to marry into the Fredericks and got involved with them."

"That's right. Sandra was born for business, and she made the Fredericks' business flourish."

"The Fredericks got greedy, so they forced my adoptive mother to leave the family. What happened next?"
