The Woman From Hell
Chapter 517

Chapter 517

Before I could react, Theo leaned down and picked me up. He walked to the bed and put me down."Be good and lie down.”

He turned around and left after saying that.

I was tremendously baffled. Did he not agree to divorce just now? Why would he suddenly say suchthings again?

A few minutes later, Miss Woods came in. When she saw me sitting dazedly on the bed, shesighed.

"Please hear me out, Miss Wanda. Arguments happen, especially between married couples. All youhave to d o is solve the conflict. Getting a divorce is a big no-no."

Miss Woods had a more traditional mindset and thought that married couples should never get adivorce. No matter how hard life was, one should grit their teeth and go on with life. I could not bringmyself to agree with her views, so I refused to listen to a word she said.

She opened her mouth to say something but I quickly intercepted, "You should head out first, MissWoods. I'd like to spend some time alone."

I laid down on the bed and soon fell asleep after she went out.

I slept until midnight and woke up in a pitch-black room. I could tell that I was alone in the bedroom.

I switched on the lights and picked up the glass of water from the bedside table. I drank a fewmouthfuls of water to quench my thirst.

Miss Woods had cleaned the room. The floor lamp that was kicked to the floor by Theo was gone. Iwould often wake up in the middle of the night and could not go back to sleep. Not wanting to think

of upsetting thoughts, I grabbed my laptop and began working.

At seven o'clock in the morning, after processing the last of the documents, I looked out the windowand realized that it was snowing.

I got out of bed and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw theservants plowing the snow below.

As long as I was alive, life would go on as usual, no?

After a quick washing up, Miss Woods came over and said with a smile, "Miss Wanda, New Year’sEve is approaching and it's time to buy some New Year's goods. I'm going out this afternoon to buysome stuff. D o you want to come along? It's bustling with energy out there. This will be a good timeto go out for a walk and clear your head."

I shook my head. "No thanks. I still have things to handle at the office. I'm going out after breakfast."

Miss Woods returned to the kitchen and got to work. I sat on the sofa in the living room in a daze.

Heidi sent me a message saying that Jerome and Xander never went out after they returned to theirresidence. There were no more updates for me for the time being.

Were they planning to celebrate New Year’s in Salt City?

Did that mean that Cecilia was alone in France?

There were too many questions bothering me, and with Cecilia not answering my calls, it seemedthat there was no other way but to go to France to see Cecilia in person to check if she was okay.

I pulled my hair in agitation. "If...”

If I went to Salt City to confront Jerome, would he tell me the truth?

After eating breakfast, I drove to the company.

The artists in Magnificent Entertainment Company were very mature artists. Magnificent had goodresources, which quickly helped them to rise in the industry. The report sent to me by the financialdepartment had put me in a good mood.

I had lived up to Matthew's expectations, I guess...

After the morning meeting, I came out and bumped into Quinn.

I walked up to her and asked, "Are you here to inspect, Ms. Grant?"

Quinn shook her head with a smile. "I'm here to see you.”

I frowned. "Let's talk in the office."

Honestly, I was in a good mood and really did not want to talk to her.

Despite that, she was now my superior, so I had to respect her.

After going to my office, Quinn and I sat opposite each other on the sofa. After the secretary servedtea and went out, she asked blandly, "Are you and Theo planning to go back to Salt City tocelebrate New Year's or will you be staying in Whaldorf City?"

I cast my eyes down. "We’ve discussed it and plan to celebrate in Whaldorf City, but we’re not surenow.

You can ask Theo if you want to."

Quinn raised her eyebrows. "Did you guys have a fight?"
