The Woman From Hell
Chapter 786

Chapter 786

I was already lying on the bed when I woke up.

I glanced at the phone on the bedside table, looked at the time, and found that it was already eighto’clock in the morning.

Theo was not in the room. After I got up and washed u p, I went downstairs. I saw Theo standing inthe living room drinking soy milk. I walked over to ask him," Has Munchkin gone to kindergarten?"

"He just left," Theo replied with a smile.

He pulled me into the dining area to have breakfast. H e put a bowl of oatmeal in front of me. "Go tothe company with me later."

I looked up at him and was puzzled. "I plan to go and visit Susan."

Why was he suddenly asking me to go to the company?

He put down the newspaper in his hand. His pupils were dark and deep, while his tone wasintrospective." We may not be able to go."

I frowned. "Did something happen?"

"There are many people at the hospital. Word travels fast. It's unsafe for you, Mrs. Grant. It’s bestfor you to stay beside Mr. Grant for the next two days," replied Keith, who was standing behindTheo.

I pursed my lips and looked at Theo, hoping he could tell me what was going on.

However, he evaded my gaze and reminded me, "Wear more layers when we go out later. Thetemperature has dropped today."

Since he did not want to say anything, I did not press o n either.

I followed Theo out the door and came to Grant Corporation's office building. I saw a group ofreporters gathering at the entrance.

Keith got out of the car to clear the way. Theo held my hand, his elegant face somewhat warm."Don't be afraid later. Just ignore them no matter what they ask you later."

My heart skipped a beat. As expected, something bad had indeed happened.

After walking just a few steps, the reporters crowded over. Fortunately, there were enoughbodyguards so the reporters could not touch Theo and me.

The reporters were asking all sorts of questions, their voices overlapping one another. It soundedvery chaotic and noisy. However, I could roughly make out what was going on.

After going upstairs, Theo went for a meeting while I sat on the sofa and browsed through the news.

The top trending news headline included the words ' Theo Grant’s ex-wife'. Upon clicking in, the firstnews article talked about how licentious of a woman I was. Theo divorced me back then becausehe caught me sleeping with another man in a hotel, and now I was pestering him again. Matthewand Serena’s names were brought up in the article as well.

Now, everyone thought that I was the one who killed Serena and that I was in a relationship withtwo men. They claimed I had two business tycoons in the palm o f my hand.

In a nutshell, I was an unforgivable woman.

Upon clicking into the comment section, I saw the word ’wh*re’ and found it to be an eyesore.

I did not have the tendency to self-harm, hence I simply switched off my phone.

Grant Corporation's stock market was bound to be impacted. Seeing how he did not enter his officeand headed straight for the meeting room, he must be in a rush to give the shareholders anexplanation.

At this moment, Keith walked in with a cup of tea. I glanced at him, then looked down and said, "It’sa lot o f trouble, isn’t it?"

Otherwise, Theo would not have left Keith with me.

He was worried that my emotions would be affected o r I would be badly hurt by the words of thecompany’s employees. That was why he left Keith with me.

"Do you want to have some desserts, Mrs. Grant?” In the minds of direct men, changing the subjectwas the best way to answer a difficult question.

I got up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window. I could clearly see the reporters gathereddownstairs at Grant Corporation. "There are so many distinguished figures in Whaldorf City, so whymust they hold on to someone low-profile like me?"

Keith pursed his lips and did not answer my question. When Theo walked in, his expression wassullen.
