The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2261

Cole seemed to be interested when he heard this and tilted his head to look at me. "How could you tell?"

I would not have made that up if I knew.

Did he need an answer to everything?

I filtered through my mind and fixed on a scene from our first meeting. "It's like when I met you for the first time. You put on a whole play, which was unexpected. I could tell from that." Cole laughed heartily after I said that.

He clapped his hands. "I didn't expect you to be someone who holds grudges, President Lane." I only wanted to answer him and did not expect him to continue. "Coincidentally, I'm that sort too." Could there be some deep meaning in these words?

Cole continued before I had time to think about it, "How did it go yesterday? Did you succeed?"

He was eager to know the outcome of yesterday. That was why he came early in the morning. He probably wanted to ask me about it.

Thinking of this, I answered him softly, "Well, it worked. Carlson and Yvonne were shocked when they heard the name Millicent Yard, and they agreed to Tyler's marriage after that."

After I said that, I saw Cole spread out his hands as if he had been confident about this.

"What do you think? Wasn't my method the best?"

"How did you know that, Mr. Anders? Do you know Carlson and Yvonne?" I asked cautiously.

Cole looked at me, his lips pursed as he smiled gently. "I've only heard about them. I've never met them."

It was a simple answer, but I thought that he was lying to me.

Leaning back in the chair, I tapped

the table with my hand and then laughed a few times. "I replace you more and more mysterious, Mr. Anders. You not only know Millicent Yard but also her relationship with Carlson and Yvonne. Perhaps you also know my adoptive mother, as well as Petra and Grayson who had announced to the public that they're my biological parents. Yet, I don't know anything about you at all. It's a bit ridiculous to say."

I did not ask him about it directly. I just offered some self-deprecating words.

I believed, however, that Cole must be thinking about my words at this moment.

There was a slyness in his eyes before his usual indifference returned. Cole shook his head. "My memory about Millicent Yard has long become a haze. As for the people you mentioned, I have never met them before."

"Is that so? You've never met them, but you can grasp their hearts. You truly are unlike the ordinary, Mr. Anders." There was slight amusement to my words.

Cole also smiled but said nothing.

I looked at him and raised a brow. "Did you come here today just to confirm what happened last night, Mr. Anders?"

"Yes. I had free time, so I came out for a walk," Cole responded calmly.

"You sure are leisurely, Mr. Anders, but I'm different. There are still a lot of things for me to deal with. If nothing else, why not..."

"So you're driving me away,

President Lane." Cole smiled without

a trace of anger. "Alright, it'll start looking like I'm one who doesn't appreciate favors if I were to stay any longer. Let me ask you

ve

something, President Lane, Before I

leave, do you have any questions for me?"

His eyes were so deep that I could not see the end of them. I fell into the abyss that was his eyes and smiled sightly. "To be honest, I have a lot of questions, but as you said, Mr. Anders, you'll tell me when the time comes. So, why should I ask?"

"You really are a smart person, President Lane. I like to deal with smart people. That's fine. No need to send me off. I'll see you next time." Cole walked out of the meeting room after that. Seeing his departing silhouette, my suspended heart eased.

I did not understand why it always felt like I was carrying a heavy burden when I was interacting with him...
