The Woman From Hell
Chapter 544

Chapter 544

She walked me and Tyler out of The Imperial Club. Before we got in the car, she shouted, "Don’tforget to text me on WhatsApp."

I let out a long sigh of relief after getting in the car.

"What's wrong?" Tyler asked with concern.

I shook my head with a smile. "Cassey is so different from what I imagined."

I thought a spoiled lady like Cassey would be similar t o Cindy-arrogant, rude, uncaring, and stupid.

However, Cassey was obviously nothing like that. She was smart but a handful.

Tyler nodded. "Her mother isn't as simple as you might think.”

A mistress, who was able to turn her daughter into the eldest daughter of the Louises with a statusmuch higher than Grayson's, was not merely difficult to understand but also all-powerful.

After I got home, Theo had not come back yet.

Not wanting to concern myself with his business, I lay on the bed drowsily and fell asleep not longafter.

The next morning, I was woken up by the phone ringing. I raised the phone and saw that it was

Xander. I quickly answered it. "What’s wrong?”

"I saw the news. Were you the one behind Petra's incident?" The first question he asked me wasrelated t o a topic I did not want to talk about.

I rolled over and closed my eyes. "I did it."

Xander sighed. "I know you hate her, Wandy, but how far are you going to go before you'll finally besatisfied?”

I narrowed my eyes. "Are you saying that I should do nothing at all?”

"That’s not what I mean."

Xander's voice was filled with helplessness. "I don't want you to turn to the kind of person you hate.I think you've done enough and should stop now. If you live every day seeking revenge, then thoseof us who care about you will be really heartbroken.”

I sat up from my bed, lowered my head, and chuckled bitterly.

"It's too late, Xander. I've already turned into the kind o f person I used to hate. Actually, I don't thinkthis version of myself is bad. At least, this is much better than before when I wasn’t able to doanything but suffer in pain.”

No one should regret the changes they made, because the moment one wanted to change was themoment one was unhappy with one's current state.

Xander sighed softly, not continuing this subject. "Are

you done with your work over there? When are you planning to come back to Salt City? Jerome andI will g o and pick you up."

"I'll go back when I'm done with all my work here."

After hanging up the phone, I got out of bed to wash u P-

When I was done washing up, I went downstairs and saw Miss Woods packing her suitcase in theliving room. I went over and asked, "Are you going back to Salt City, Miss Woods?"

"Yeah, I'm going back this afternoon." She stood up straight and smiled at me. "Are you and Mr.Grant planning to celebrate New Year's in Salt City?"

I was unsure about Theo, but I was definitely celebrating New Year’s in Salt City.

I did not say that, though. Instead, I said, "We might go back to Salt City to celebrate New Year's."

Miss Woods frowned. "You’re now the Schumans' daughter. You should go back to the Schumans'place t o celebrate New Year's."

"We'll see." My head was suddenly hurting.

I drove to the company after eating breakfast. As soon as I stepped into the office, the financemanager came looking for me.

The financial statement of the second half of the year was well over five times more than the firsthalf.

I put down the statement and smiled at the finance manager. "This finance statement is the bestNew Year's gift to me. It’s going to be New Year’s soon. Why don’t you give all the employeesbonuses so they can all have a great New Year's?"

The finance manager nodded. "Don't worry, Miss Lane. We'll work harder after New Year's."

I nodded with a smile. "Go on, then."

I initially came here to expand my own business.

After having enough capital, I would undercut Petra's business so she would not earn a singlepenny from the entertainment industry.
