The Woman From Hell

Chapter 15

Although I was frightened to death, I was still the one at fault. I suppressed the fear in me and slowly

opened the car door.

The Tibetan Mastiff, which rushed out just now, was lying motionlessly under my car tire. The pool of

crimson blood stood out clearly among the greenery of the woods.

I closed my eyes in shock. After some time, I managed to calm myself down.

“Tell me, what are you going to do about this?” The man crossed his arms and stared at me coldly.

I did not dare to look into his frightening eyes. I lowered my head and said, “I am sorry, I didn't mean to

do this. I can compensate you.”

“Since you have a good attitude, I will let you go easy. Pay me ten thousand bucks in cash, or else…”

The man was biting on a piece of reed between his teeth. He gave me a glance from head to toe with a

smirk on his face.

I sensed the imminent danger and immediately said, “No problem. I will give it to you.” At a time like

this, I would gladly give him even a hundred thousand bucks if he asked me for it, let alone ten

thousand.

I turned around in a hurry to look for my handbag, but I could not find it after looking through my entire

car. Just then, I recalled that I did not take it when I left in a hurry last night.

“Sir, I...I do not have that much cash on me. How about I transfer the money to you online?” I asked

him cautiously.

“No. I only want cash. If you do not have money, do not even think of leaving today.” The man huffed

coldly. He did not look pleased.

“If so, can I call a friend? I will ask her to send some cash over.” I quickly took out my phone and was

prepared to make a call.

“You better do as you say and do not even think of calling the police. Over here, the police will not be

able to do anything.” The man glared at me with an impatient look on his face.

“I will not do that. I guarantee that I will not call the police.” I found the number that I was about to dial

and showed it to him. After confirming that it was not an emergency number, he nodded and gestured

for me to dial the number.

I called Cecilia first, but her phone was off. After that, I tried calling Heidi, but her phone was off as

well.

I was stunned. I was usually either at the company or the Grant household. I was not good at

socializing, so I did not have many friends. I did not know who to call.

After thinking about it for some time, I toughened up and called Mason.

The call went through after ringing a few times. However, nobody spoke. Feeling slightly awkward, I

spoke up. “Doctor Lynch, sorry for disturbing you so early in the morning. Can you help me with

something? Something came up, and I need ten thousand bucks in cash. Can you send the cash over NôvelDrama.Org © content.

for me?”

When I noticed there was no response, I paused and mustered the courage to say, “Doctor Lynch, I am

truly sorry. You are the only one whom I can ask for help from right now.”

After some time, a cold voice spoke up from the other end of the line. “You are indeed something,

Wanda Lane!”

This voice belonged to...Theo Grant!

How could it be him?

He was so drunk last night. How could he pick up Mason’s call so early in the morning?

“Theo, why is it you who is picking up the call?” I asked him without thinking. I was terrified.

“If I did not pick up the call, I would not have known that my woman would call another man for money

in the wee hours of the morning.” Theo spat out those words slowly.

I could tell that he was gritting his teeth. He was super furious.

Just as I was at a loss for what to do, his cold voice spoke again. “Give me the address!”

I did not know where I was either, so I quickly asked the man beside me, “Sir, what is this place

called?”

“D*mn it! It is very early in the morning. What the hell did you do?” Theo suddenly raised his voice. His

voice almost broke my eardrums.

“The entrance to Sunhill Village.” After the man told the name of the place where we were, I hung up

the call.

I massaged my forehead. I was speechless and anxious.

I thought that Theo would be suffering from a hangover and that he would be asleep right now. I did not

want to disturb him this early in the morning, but things didn't go as planned.

The man remained silent after seeing me hang up. He squatted down in front of my car.

I got into my car and waited anxiously for Theo to arrive.

I thought it would take a long time for Theo to arrive since I vaguely remembered driving for more than

two hours last night. Unexpectedly, Theo reached within half an hour.
