The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2307

The question came from Theo.

A sourness filled the atmosphere.

I looked at the box, but there was no name written on it.

I picked up the dress, and there was a card hidden under it, which said: [You're welcome, Mally.]

"Marius?" I could not help but exclaim.

I subconsciously covered my mouth and looked back at Theo, who was wearing a dark expression.

I moved away and stuffed the card and dress into the box. Lips pursed, I said with a smile, "It's just love between siblings. Don't get me wrong. I'll call and ask him."

I pulled up Marius' contact and dialed it to prove my innocence.

"Marius, what's with the dress? How did you know that I was going to a dinner party?" I tapped on the speakerphone so that Theo could hear his answer clearly. I just hoped that Marius would be serious.

Marius' voice sounded slowly from the phone, and there was still a smile in his voice. "You sound off, Miss Lane. Is President Grant jealous?"

This little brat. He should shut it even if he already figured it out. This was so embarrassing.

I glanced at Theo in front of me. His already dark expression turned several degrees darker.

I coughed and explained, "No, of course not. Theo isn't that small-minded. I just thought that it was strange. Why did you send clothes over?"

"You still haven't figured it out yet, huh? I was rejected again, but I couldn't cancel the purchase. I'm doing you a favor this time," Marius said lightly, obviously not taking this matter to heart.

I immediately understood. "Which girl is it this time? Isn't it too special to give her a dress when the two of you just started?"

"A small name model. She's not very popular yet. She'll also be attending the dinner party the day after tomorrow. I wanted to give her a dress to gain some ground with her, but someone already asked her out. You two are about the same size. I believe it'll fit you, yeah?" This tone of his... Was he questioning my figure?

"Marius, you'd better watch it!"

"Hehe, what I mean is that your

Imean

figure is as good as that of a model,

「

Sis Wan. You can definitely wear it Don't I know you quite well?" Marius was quite sensible and was

behaving well over the phon rius

Swnove

I glanced at Theo and noticed that his expression had softened a lot.

Since the purpose of the explanation had been achieved, I had nothing else to say. "Okay, I understand. Anyway, thank you for the dress. Bye!"

After hanging up the call, I looked up

at Theo. Didn't I tell you it was

nothing? But if you mind, take me

out to buy a new one. I'm alright with that too."

Theo stepped forward and glanced at the dress in the box. "Put it on. I'm not that small-minded."

He remembered what I said just now. He really knew how to hold a grudge. That meant he was not as maganimous yet.

I only dared to criticize him internally

while I wore a smile on my face. "How nice of you, President Grant. I also think that it would be a waste not to wear it."

After getting his approval, I grabbed the dress and went into the bathroom to change. "How about it?"

I walked around in front of Theo after I was done changing.

"Not bad!" He just glanced at it. It was perfunctory.

Was his attitude like this because it was a gift from Marius?

I shook my head helplessly and looked into the mirror by myself.

I had to say, the dress was the right size, and the color matched my skin tone.

"Thank goodness I exercised and got back into shape after giving birth. I'd be bawling my eyes out now otherwise."

I looked in the mirror, feeling very satisfied.

Finally, I had a bit of closure and confidence for the charity dinner the day after tomorrow.

I turned to look at Theo. "You won't be going to the dinner party the day after tomorrow, right?"
