The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2555

"Ah, she... You don't know her, so I wouldn't want to force you to do that. Please, go ahead with what you need to do." I looked away, worried that Gareth would continue questioning me, so I walked straight ahead.

I had just taken a few steps when Gareth's voice sounded from behind. "Don't make an example of this. I hope you won't do anything you'll regret."

I did not dare look back at the man's expression. I hastened my steps to escape his sight as soon as possible. There was a corner in front of me, and I quickly went there.

I finally felt free of his sharp gaze.

Letting out a sigh of relief, I fished out my phone. Who was the one who had such impeccable timing to call at a time like that?

Marius?

I called him back. "Is there anything so urgent that you had to call me now of all times?"

The anger in my voice likely confused Marius as he replied in an aggrieved manner, "I wanted to report to you that we're close to convincing the Wagners. They'll account for the majority when it comes to the bidding. You're fine with that, right?" "Yes," I replied quickly.

I did not know if Gareth was still standing there.

I peered out from my corner. He had disappeared long ago.

The person he was visiting must be on this floor.

I came out of the corner and wandered around while Marius' voice continued on the phone, "Talks with the other companies haven't been easy. Each of them wants to have a proportion or other benefits, or they'll quit. Do you think it is necessary for us to recruit so many people?"

"The point is to make a demonstration to the Yards. Give them whatever they want. Whether we can get the development rights or not is not important to us. You and Ty had better not go down that road," I replied to Marius while checking along the route. However, I could not replace Gareth.

"Could this be the wrong floor?" I muttered to myself.

Marius overheard me. "Sis Wan, what are you mumbling about?"

"I'm undercover at this place. I almost reached my target but your phone call ratted me out. I'm looking for him again." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in my tone.

I walked past so many wards but did not see Gareth in any of them.

"Undercover? Don't tell me you're tailing Gareth Zeke?"

Marius instantly hit the nail on the head. I hid nothing from him and immediately admitted it, "You're right. I'm tailing him. I want to see what secrets he's keeping."

"Isn't that unnecessary, Sis Wan? If

he doesn't want to work with us, then so be it. Why do you have to get to the bottom of this? It won't be good if you end up offending him."

I understood Marius' worry and calmed my tone. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I saw the

handicrafts that my mother may et

the last time I went to his residence. I keep thinking that this has something to do with her, so I have to get to the bottom of this."

"He misunderstood you. I think you should just confess to him directly so that you can understand everything instantly."

"I'll think about it some more. I'll be off now."

Just when I was about to hang up, Marius spoke again, "Sis Wan, listen to me. Stop following him. Talking about things directly is the best strategy for everyone." "I know, I know."

Someone tapped me on the

shoulder after I ended the call. I

turned around and noted that it was Shannon, who had come into the hospital. She looked around. Where is he?"

"He caught me. But he should be on this floor. Let's look for him."

"Alright."

"These are wards for super VIPs. I can't see anything."

The VIP wards were heavily protected, so we could not see the inside at all. Shannon and I had no choice but to give up.
