The Woman From Hell
Chapter 712

Chapter 712

Theo had to go out for a while, and when he left, I sat o n the sofa to read a book.

I stopped when I grew tired. It was already the middle of the night.

Theo had not come back yet and I figured he would probably not come back anymore, so I went tothe bedroom to sleep.

The next morning, I took Munchkin to the kindergarten.

When it was almost noon, there were a bunch of notifications on my phone. After looking at theheadlines, I quickly tapped one of them to read.

Serena had been forced out. She contacted the media and said that the reason why Theo forcedher out was that I had seduced him, that was why she was abandoned. In any case, she made up abunch of nonsense and went to the top floor of Grant Corporation's building to jump to her death.

I went from being a divorced couple of many years with Theo to a publicly-known licentious womanwho would not stop pestering Theo for money.

Some even went as far as saying that Theo and Cindy would have gotten married if it were not forme. They

said that I was the one sowing dissension between them.

Theo's identity was extraordinary, so naturally, the scandal was caught by the media who thenmade a big deal out of it. From what they were saying in the news reports, Theo and I shared ahideous past-one that was unbearable to hear about.

Perhaps I had experienced the same thing a long time ago, so even though I was very angry, I wasstill able to tolerate it.

However, I had neglected Munchkin. Theo and I had gone to the kindergarten to pick Munchkin uptogether, so most parents knew that he was Theo's son.

If they went home and discussed this, their children would no doubt overhear them. Adults’ wordsand deeds could affect a child. With that, Munchkin would be harmed by other children's wordswhen he was at school.

On this day, I received a call from the kindergarten teacher saying that Munchkin harmed a childand they were at the hospital. They asked me to go over immediately.

I rushed to the hospital and learned what had happened when I was there. I grew extremely furious.

The children had cursed me in front of Munchkin, so h e attacked them because he could not take itanymore.

He was injured as well and there was a gauze wrapped around his head, which made me extremelyheartbroken. "Good boy, it's okay now. Don't cry. Mommy's here."

Munchkin held me tight and started choking with sobs. "Mommy, they’re all bad people. I don't wantto g o to school anymore. They’re all bad people."

I blamed myself a lot at this moment. Why did I underestimate the terrifying extent of public opinion?

If I had protected Munchkin the day the news started spreading online, then he would not havegotten hurt anymore.

Three years ago, I did not want to get involved in these scandals and wanted to live a peaceful life.That was why I took Munchkin away from Whaldorf City.

I came back so that Munchkin could receive a better education. If the price was to put him throughall this gossip and discrimination, then I would rather not provide him with a better education.

For a mother, there was nothing more important than watching their child grow safely and happily.

I took a deep breath and hugged Munchkin even tighter. "Don't worry, Mommy will protect you."

If we wanted to continue staying in Whaldorf City, then I must not just stand around and do nothing.

Did I not already know this three years ago?

If one was weak, then one would not be able to guard anything.

After leaving the hospital with Munchkin and getting i n the cab, I called Matthew.

The call only got through after a very long time. It was very noisy there, so I figured he was probablyvery busy.

However, no matter how busy he was at this moment, I needed to see him.

"I'm surprised you'd actually take the initiative to call me," he said in a warm voice.
