The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2482

I went back into the living room. Not far away, Marius stopped in his tracks all of a sudden.

He looked a little forlorn. Was he not going to leave?

As if realizing something, I switched off the lights.

Marius left after that.

I leaned beside the window and watched Marius' car drive off gradually before turning on the lights again.

I felt a little pained inside. I did not think I was a cold or selfish person, but people around me have had something happen to them one after another. It was obvious that someone was giving me a warning. I could not put them in danger for my own benefit.

I lay on the bed, exhausted. I thought about all that had happened in the past few days. I gradually fell asleep.

In the dark, I kept sensing a pair of sharp eyes staring at me, and that made me uncomfortable.

I was well aware there would be the possibility of an accident occurring with every day I remained in Whaldorf City. Thus, I could only spend every minute and every second like it was a fluke.

"Wanda, why have you been working so hard lately?" Shannon's questioning voice sounded from the other side.

I replied without looking up, "When have I never worked hard?"

"That's true, but you should also rest and not get too tired. What if you collapse?"

Knowing that Shannon was worried about me, I nodded. "I know."

I forgot about my situation temporarily thanks to all the busy work at Green Orange. Since my car had been sent for maintenance, I could only drag my exhausted body along as I walked home. It just so happened I could take this chance to get some fresh air. Suddenly, a few burly men dressed in black and with shades stood in front of me. They blocked my path while wearing malicious expressions.

I frowned alertly and pretended to be calm. "What do you want?"

Why was it this method again?

Could you not switch it up, Delia?!

However, I was alone this time.

The man who was the leader had a deep scar on his face. He looked really scary especially when he laughed. The scar went deep like the abyss.

"Do you even have the mind to worry about who we are when your death is imminent?" the man with the scar said with a sneer as if mocking me for overestimating my abilities.

"I have an automatic alarm system

in my phone. It'll immediately lock onto my location and call the police the moment I press the button. I

advise you to get out of here

en Narugi

I tried my best to make my voice shake less. After all, there were four fierce and burly-looking men standing in front of me. Anyone would be afraid.

However, had always been calm

whenever found myself in situations like this. Although my words did not work to deter them, I could see the hesitation in their eyes despite it being fleeting.

"Then let's try it." The man with the scar did not seem afraid. He quickly drew a knife from his waist and was about to pounce me while the rest had also gotten ready with ropes.

I froze in place, and for a moment, I forgot to run and escape.

Watching them get closer and closer, I could only close my eyes in resignation.

Strangely, the pain never arrived. Instead, I heard the sounds of a scuffle and groans.

I tried to be brave and opened my eyes. I did not expect to see Theo in front of me.

I looked at the people on the ground and Theo, who was panting. I immediately understood that he had saved me.

"Why are you here?"

"I was nearby," Theo replied perfunctorily before turning around to leave.

"You'd better not appear before me in the future, lest Delia misunderstands and troubles me," I said heartlessly as I suppressed my discomfort. Theo only nodded. There was not much of an expression on his face.

"I know."

"Ah." I could not help but cry out at a sudden feeling of pain.
