The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2484

I lay on the bed. I tried to break myself free from thinking about what happened today, but my mind was filled with Theo's visage till the point it was going to explode.

"Wanda, the annual business conference will be starting next week. Let's attend it and represent Green Orange," Shannon shouted happily over the phone. There was an uncontrollable excitement in her voice. While I was exhausted, I did not want to be mean and spoil Shannon's joy, so I agreed.

The business conference was where elites from all walks of life would gather. If we could join and represent Green Orange, then the company's business would definitely be able to reach higher levels. I thought about this, and after some time, I gradually fell deeply asleep. The next week, none of my friends around me got hurt since I had deliberately kept my distance.

Although I would occasionally feel a pair of eyes fixed on me, I received no other threats after what happened the week before.

Also, I had been working overtime every day to prepare for the conference. How I wish the seconds could last much longer.

The day of the business conference arrived as scheduled. Shannon and I went shopping for haute couture dresses for the event. Shannon gripped my hand nervously while we were on the way. Weirdly, I was not that nervous.

There were all kinds of people chatting and laughing in high spirits in the luxurious hall. I saw Theo in the midst of a drinking party.

Our eyes met. I also saw Delia who was holding onto his arm. My heart constricted all of a sudden for some reason.

I put a hand over my chest a little uncomfortably. Shannon noticed my change. She followed my line of sight and understood everything. Seeing that I was not looking too good, she pulled me to the corner. "Don't look at that cheating couple. You don't want to dirty your eyes."

I was amused by Shannon's words but still murmured sadly, "This is him presenting Delia to the public."

Even I failed to realize that my voice was trembling when I said this.

"You still don't need to look at them. You'll only get angry if you do." Shannon's cheeks puffed up angrily as she fought for me.

However, everyone in the business circle knew Theo. Of course, knew also knew that I was his ex-wife. We would inevitably become a topic for gossip now that we were both at the same event. Thus, I led Shannon to the balcony to get some fresh air.

"Ah, say, don't they think it's

embarrassing? The ex-wife and the

current wife bumping into each

other at the same place... Even thinking about it is awkward." I heard the people out there gossiping even before I opened the door to the balcony.

"I feel embarrassed for Wanda. She's already divorced. What is she even doing here?"

The people out on the balcony were still chattering away while I stood unmoving in my spot.

Naturally, my heart hurt when I heard this. Before I even reacted, Shannon had already shaken off my hand and rushed in.

"You guys are really asking for it, running your mouths," Shannon shouted.

"Huh, isn't that Wanda? How do you still have the nerve to take part in this?" She looked to be a woman who was jealous of me. She was so enigmatic that her finger was almost touching my forehead.

I stood outside the balcony, silent.

"Hey, if you guys have something to say, have the gall to say it directly. What's all this shuffling about supposed to mean, huh?!" Shannon forgot about those bold words of hers saying that she wanted to be a wise and virtuous lady.

like a woman that no one

reach with reason.
