The Woman From Hell

Sylvester cast Theo an appreciative look again. "I didn't expect you to be able to be so calm at the moment of life and death, President Grant. You truly are Theo Grant. You're right. Roo discovered my plan. She didn't want Wanda to get hurt, and she also didn't want me to become a murderer. So, I lied to her. I told her that I would give up the plan and that I would let Wanda go. I locked her in the house. I also wanted to prevent her from looking for you and letting you know of my plan, but I didn't expect her to actually manage to send out multiple messages before I placed a shield. All of you found out except for Wanda."

"Why would she have the numbers of those close to me?"

"Roo found them from Silas' number book. Silas had looked for the contact information of everyone around you. Roo knew I bugged your phone and knew that I would know that she sent you a message the moment she did. Even if she told you not to come to the funeral, I'd still have the opportunity to bring you to me. Look, didn't you guys come today?"

Sylvester looked at me with a smile that was filled with pride.

I shook my head. "Aren't you worried that Rooney will be disappointed in you after knowing that you're such a person?"

"No. Considering Roo's personality, she won't blame me for too long. I saved her from her gambling addict of a father, after all. She won't blame me."

It seemed that Rooney's life had also been very bleak.

I sighed and looked at Theo with a helpless expression.

"Your hands are covered in blood. How can you show yourself before me so shamelessly and tell me it's okay?"

Rooney had at some point arrived at the door.

Sylvester did not expect Rooney to appear so suddenly. He quickly walked toward Rooney and pulled her over Why did you come out? This is not a place you should come to. Wait for me to deal with them. I'll explain things to you later."

"There's nothing to explain." Rooney swatted Sylvester's hand away. "So, the person who touched me that day was the bastard, Silas. I feel so disgusted and filthy. You lied to me. You said it was you." I could feel how complicated Rooney felt at the moment. If it were me, I would also be helpless.

arms. "That's all over. That person is also dead. You can take it as it was me. I'm okay with it. Be good. We' talk about this later." He turned his gaze to the men in black. "Why are you all still standing there? Move!"

"They won't do it." Rooney struggled out of Sylvester's arms. Her face was like dying embers, but her words were full of strength. "They've already been swapped. They're President Grant's people." Sylvester's face changed her light words. He took a few steps back to look at Theo and me before casting his gaze back at Rooney, "You betrayed me, Roo?"

"I just don't want to see you make mistakes again and again. The bastard Silas is dead, but President Grant and Wanda are innocent. How could you allow yourself to be carried away by things like family property and do such a horrible

thing?"

"I don't want to get carried away. I'm defending my own things. Ever since I was a child, I guarded Yard Group and the Yard family. Can't I even have this one thing? I should also fight for our future, no?"

"But do we still have a future?" Rooney shouted, tears streaming down her eyes. "Even if Silas deserves to die, you'll be punished by the law for deliberately agitating him and causing his death.

"As long as you don't betray me, the two of them won't get out alive and no one will know about this."

"Do you think I'm you?"
