The Woman From Hell

"Mom, Dad, I'm back."

Petra and Grayson were both shocked when I showed up at their doorstep alone with the children.

"Why did you come here alone? Where's Theo?" they questioned me as they carried my luggage in.

I could not tell them what was going on for now to prevent rumors.

"He's been busy with the company recently, so I thought I'd come back and rest a few days."

"Good, good. It's fine even if you stay longer."

Having not seen each other in a long time, Petra's and Grayson's smiles never once diminished. They were even happier when they saw their grandchildren.

"It's not the weekend yet, so Munchkin is still at school. I'll go pick him up once the weekend comes."

"You must be hungry. Let me get someone to make breakfast."

We had left the mansion early in the morning and did not eat any breakfast. Sure enough, I was hungry. "Alright, thanks, Mom."Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Petra pulled me to the sofa and sat me down. Grayson, on the other hand, was standing to the side as he tended to the children.

"Have you been very busy recently? You look like you've lost so much weight."

I touched my face when I heard that before waving my hand and replying, "Oh, I haven't. I'm still the same. You just haven't seen me in some time. I'll stay here longer so you can fatten me up and send me back to Theo." Home was always warm. At this moment, there was a current of warmth traveling through my heart.

"By the way, are the Yards still troubling you?"

It was unusual that Petra was still thinking about this.

I shook my head. "No, it's strange, but they really haven't made much of a move during this time."

At first, I thought it was nothing, but I was puzzled now that she suddenly mentioned it. Seemingly seeing through my doubts, Grayson said, "The Yards look to be making secret deals with others recently

"Deals? What deals?" I frowned since I knew nothing of what was going on with the Yards nowadays.

"They're keeping the specifics

secret. We've been paying special attention to them because we were worried

that the Yards were going to

do something bad to you. Either way, we still have to be cautious."

"Pristine Group has been in the limelight recently. While Nibel is capable, he's not familiar with Hatton at all. Could the Yards be involved with him?"

Petra's words relieved me. "Yes, it's

possible. Nibel has always wanted

to defeat Theo, and it's also possible that joining forces with the Yards gives him a better chance of

er

winning. I've to call Theo and let him

know about this."

I picked up my phone and was just about to call him when I saw a piece of news pushed out by the internet.

[The Grants' illegitimate son has returned to Hatton recently. Has Theo Grant ruthlessly denied his brother?]

I tapped on the photo, and it was the photo that was shot at the last banquet.

A video was also released. Although it was not clear, the fact that the two of them were brothers could be heard clearly. Theo did not have a good attitude toward Neil, which confirmed the title.

"The fact they chose to expose this now shows that it's deliberate."

My departure from Grant Corporation would have sparked rumors, and now it was also exposed that Theo had an illegitimate sibling, which was tantamount to worsening the situation. "What's going on Wanda? Theo has a brother and he's the Grants' illegitimate child?"

Both Petra and Grayson looked confused.

For a while, I found myself unable to explain things clearly, so I had to do it perfunctorily, "I'll give Theo a call first. Then I'll tell you about it."

After saying that, I went to a room and dialed Theo's number, but no one answered even after a long time.

"Pick up, pick up!"

I was so anxious. What was happening? Why was he not answering?
