The Woman From Hell

Chapter 827 Susan sighed softly. "The spectator sees more of the game. Mr. Grant has been getting so many calls and didn't answer any of them but you didn't even ask him anything. You must be fighting." Was this considered fighting? I shook my head. "I don't know if we're fighting or not, but we're both somewhat uncomfortable with each other right now." Susan helplessly smiled and said no more.

After talking to Susan for a while more, Theo and I said our goodbyes after seeing that it was getting late.

After getting into the car and buckling up our seatbelts, I said, "Let's go to the hospital." "Go to the hospital?" Theo frowned. "Are you feeling unwell?" I pursed my lips. "We'll go and get the procedure reversed." Delaying it for too long would not be good for him. As long as he did not reverse the procedure, I would keep thinking about it.

He was a little stunned but did not say much about it and drove to the hospital.

When we arrived at the hospital, Theo learned that I had made an appointment beforehand.

He looked conflicted but did not say anything to me.

When he entered the operating theater, Keith gave him a call.

I was not supposed to answer his call without his permission, but because Keith had called too many times, I was worried that it was about an urgent matter. Hence, I answered it.

Before I could say anything, Keith said first, "Mr. Grant, someone is already investigating Zimmer Corporations. If everything goes according to plan, Zimmer Corporations will be temporarily closed for a period of time. Do you still think it is necessary to release the video of Mr. Zimmer's mother to the media?" I frowned. "What video?" "Mrs. Grant?" Keith was a little shocked. He probably did not expectto be the one to answer the phone. "What video?" I repeated.

Keith fell silent for a long time. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Grant." I understood if he could not tell me, but there were things that I must say to him. "He's not able to cto the phone for a while, that's why I'm answering it." After a pause, I continued, "Keith, I'm in no position to interfere with Theo and Matthew's battle. But you've been with Theo for so many years and have a say when it comes to work. You know what the repercussions are if he drives Zimmer Corporations to the edge. Abolishing a business is taboo among businessmen. He didn't rely on his own abilities to achieve what he has achieved in Whaldorf City today. There's also the approval of the presidents from various industries." It was normal to have arguments in the business world, but everybody knew that being too ruthless would raise concerns with one's allies for fear that they would be treated the sway one day. Hence, no one was brave enough to destroy one another.

Keith fell silent for a moment and said, "Thanks for the reminder, Mrs. Grant." After hanging up the phone, I sat on the chair in the corridor in a daze.

Theo's anger began during Cassey's wedding banquet. What exactly did Matthew tell him to infuriate him so much that he was bent on destroying him? However, I could not find the answer to this question n o matter how hard I thought.

When the procedure was done, Theo cout of the operating room with a sullen face. It was hard to read his emotions.

He let out a smile when he saw me.

I held his hand and asked, "Does it hurt?" He smiled. "What will you do if I say it does?" I smiled and planted a kiss on his lips. "Will this do?" The doctor walked over and said, "Lback for a check-up in a week. Try and hold back any kind of sexual activities for a month as it'll affect the recovery process." I nodded at him. "Thank you, Doctor." We stayed another half an hour in the hospital to make sure that Theo was not suffering from any side effects before leaving.

When we got back to the villa, the sky had already turned dark.

After eating dinner, I received a call from Cassey.

She said, "I forgot to send you the box because I had things to do yesterday." After a pause, she continued, "I want to ask you out for a walk. Are you free?" I could tell that she was in a bad mood and agreed." Sendyour location." Theo was working in the study. I went upstairs and into the study. I saw him reading his files, so I sat down on the sofa so as to not interrupt him.

"Do you have things to say to me?" He noticed me, of course.

I nodded. "Cassey askedout for a walk." Theo closed the file in his hands and got up while saying, "I'll go with you." I frowned. "You still have many things to do. I can go by myself. You just finished your operation and shouldn't move around." He pursed his lips slightly and asked after a while," How long will it take for you to cback?" Cassey was a newlywed, and her bad mood probably stemmed from a conflict with Caleb, so I replied, "I'm not sure." Theo pursed his lips. "Sendyour location after this and I'll go pick you up in an hour." He was only allowingto go out for an hour. I opened my mouth to protest but he gaveno chance to speak. He sighed and said, "I'll be worried if you go out for too long." Since he had said so, I had no choice but to agree.

I went downstairs, grabbed my keys, and went out.

Cassey askedto meet in a bar, which was under her name.

There were not too many people in the bar at this hour. As soon as I entered the bar, the waiter cover. "Ms. Lane, cwith me." I was a little stunned and followed him.

The second floor of the bar was full of cubicles. Cassey was sitting in one of them, drinking wine alone.

I frowned and walked over to snatch the wine glass from her. I then ordered the waiter to bring over a glass of warm milk.

Cassey held her chin and said lazily, "I'm at a bar but you wantto drink warm milk? You must be joking with me." I glanced at her belly and said with a sullen expression, "Why are you drinking when you're pregnant? Did you hit your head or something?" "But I'm upset." Cassey looked at the girls dancing on the stage on the first floor. "I should drink when I'm upset." Her tone sounded bitter, I could tell. I felt a little sorry for her. "Why are you upset? Did you argue with Caleb?"

Cassey smacked the table lightly and said to me," Wanda, have you ever leve you heard of parents who insist on staying with their son after he's married?"

I answered honestly, "Theo and I don't have parents. When Grandma was still argund she would would stay in the mountains most of the time, so I don't really know much about this." She smiled a little sarcastically. "Sure enough, there are just so many terrible things in life. I wouldn't have gotten married if I had known." She was pregnant, so the slightest thing that did not go as well as she wanted would trigger a negative response in her toward her marriage and future.

I sighed softly and persuaded her, saying, "Perhaps they just want to stay and take care of you. You're pregnant, after all. You need someone to look after you." Cassey merely sneered, seemingly disagreeing with my words.
