The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2298

Back in the villa, only Caroline was there cleaning the living room.

"Is Theo in the room?"

"Yes, Sir is in the room. Since you're back, Madam, dinner..."

"No, I'll go up first."

I could not wait to go upstairs.

When I went to the room and opened the door, Theo was indeed in there. Seeing me so anxious, he knew the situation was serious.

He put down the tablet and looked at me, "You know everything now?"

I nodded. I made my way over slowly and sat by the bed. "But I don't know if it's true or not."

Immediately after that, I told Theo everything Cole told me. Theo was frowning as he listened as if he was also skeptical about this.

When I was done, I looked at him. "How much of it do you think is the truth and how much of it is fake?"

I only hear him sigh heavily. Theo's expression was solemn. "If it's fake, the story is foolproof and that wouldn't be good for him. If it's true, then all of this is incredible. So many people are involved. If you're really part of the Yard family, then you're in danger." "You and Cole said the same, that I'm in danger," my voice was weak as I lowered my gaze.

"The Yards used to be unshakable, and they got there by stepping on the shoulders of many. They have many enemies. So many people want Silas Yard's life, let alone his children's. The so-called sins of the father are paid for by the children. He has no children, and right now, he only has his grandson. If you're exposed, it'll definitely cause many unwarranted disasters."

Hearing what Theo said, I fell into deep thought and murmured to myself, "So what Cole said may be true. Petra may have acknowledged me as her daughter, even making it public to protect me. That way, even if the Yards found me, they wouldn't act rashly."

I could not tell what I was feeling now. I only knew that my feelings were mixed. I had so many things stuck in my throat and could not say anything.

Looking at me, Theo took me into

his arms, his voice gentler than ever.

"Don't think about it today. I'll accompany you when you go fook for Petra tomorrow. This mystery will be unraveled then."

Petra was furious the last time I mentioned Millicent. What expression would she have if I were to ask her again tomorrow? Would she still insist that I was her daughter?

"I..." I admit that I was chickening out.

I did not think there was anything wrong with being Petra's daughter. I would not have been obsessed about replaceing this secret out back then if I had known so many people would be involved.

I used to have nothing to worry

about, but now I had my children

and husband. If I really was a part of

the Yards, then judging from what

Bould

Cole and Theo said, anything happen to me at any time. What about my children, then?

Thinking of this, my tears flowed unconsciously.

Theo realized I was crying and quickly took out a few pieces of tissue paper from the side to wipe my tears. Why are you crying? Don't worry, I protect you no matter whose daughter you are. You'll be fine. Also, we're not sure of everything that's happening now. Isn't it too early for you to be so sad?"

He touched my head gently, comforting me as I gradually calmed down.

I nodded in his arms. "Okay, I understand."

"Then, go take a shower first. After that, we'll go downstairs and eat something. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

I was a lot calmer now when I climbed out of Theo's arms. His ability to comfort me had always been magical.

"Okay, let's talk tomorrow." I got out of bed and took out my pajamas from the closet. "Theo, what should I do if I am from the Yard family?" "Wouldn't that be great?"

"Would it...?"
