The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2302

Sylvester called right after I had made my decision.

I looked up at Theo and pointed at the name. "Should I pick up?"

"Of course. He's your brother, after all," Theo responded without thinking.

My brother...

I was used to being an only child, and suddenly having an older brother felt strange.

However, I still had to answer this call out of courtesy.

Clearing my throat, I tapped on the answer button and turn on the speakerphone. Sylvester's voice rang in my ears clearly, "Have you confirmed it?" He was well-informed.

I responded, "Yes, I have."

"So, you're my sister. I didn't bark up the wrong tree." I could hear the joy in Sylvester's voice.

Sylvester continued before I could reply, "Come back to the Yard family with me. Our grandfather wants to see you very much."

"I..." My voice dragged, and I raised my eyes to look at Theo. The expression on his face remained unchanged, but his eyes were clearly asking me to tell Sylvester what I thought. I sighed and then said, "I apologize, but I can't go back to the Yards." "Why?!" Sylvester's voice was full of surprise.

"I'm not familiar with the Yards, and it doesn't make sense for me to go back now. So, that's it. You've found me. You can go back on your own to return to your life. Why bother taking me back?" Sylvester very obviously paused after he heard what I said. "Sister, everyone in the family misses you very much."

"We haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. How can we have feelings for one another? Mr. Anders... Mr. Yard, why are you forcing me?" My voice was indifferent. "But..."

"I'm sorry. I have matters to attend to here, so I'll hang up first. Goodbye, Mr. Yard." After that, I immediately hung up the call.

Theo patted my shoulder. "Good job."

I smiled. "That's good."

The sky was getting dark. Shannon called after dinner.

"President Lane, please come to work tomorrow. I can't handle it alone."

Shannon wailed in the video. The words 'I can't do it' were practically written on her face.

Her expression made me want to laugh. I covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "I know, President Collins. I'll go to the company tomorrow."

Shannon finally regained her composure after receiving my answer. "Good. Where were you off to the past two days? Tell me the truth."

"I figured something out."

"What is it?" It did not click for Shannon. She sounded surprised when she asked but then recalled what I had mentioned to her before. "You mean Cole?" I nodded. "Yeah."

Shannon's interest was piqued. "Tell me quickly. What's going on?"

I told Shannon everything, from the beginning to the end. She also had a look of disbelief after hearing it.

Shannon, who was staring at me

wide-eyed, took a while to muster the words, "Oh my God, if this hadn't happened to you, I would have thought it was the plot of a TV show. Even scriptwriters wouldn't dare write something like this. It's too exaggerated.

"So, you're from the Yard family. My God, Wanda, you're kidding. The Yards are a wealthy family. If the old man hadn't retired, they would stil be involved in politics. Your words have weight now. It looks like I'll have to latch onto you tightly."

"I'm not planning to go back to the Yards, though."

"Why not?"

Shannon looked puzzled. "I heard

the Yards are are using a lot of their

power to replace their granda net

Many people have also gone

forward claiming they're you, but they were all expelled one by one. Yet you don't care?"

"I'll tell you the details when we meet tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to tell me everything tomorrow. Give me a good shock."
