The Woman From Hell

Chapter 24

I opened my eyes and gave him a puzzled look

“Look, although most jewelry is bought by men for women, the choice is in the hands of women. If you

find a male celebrity to be your ambassador, his female fans might end up buying them. Even if they

are not fars, they will still b e attracted out of curiosity. Do you understand the concept of opposites

attract?

Xander was in high spirits when he spoke. His handsome face was slightly blushed, making him look

even more dazzling

He was right! Who said that jewelry must be represented by only women? There were even male

celebrities who promoted sanitary pads now.

Just like he said, most of the fans who religiously follow celebrities were women. If Xander, a celebrity

with more than sixty million fans, were to be

the ambassador, the impact would definitely be extraordinary.

Why should I go through the trouble of looking for an international model if I already had a good

candidate in front of me?

Wandy, it is not my place to criticize you, but you are a bit simple minded. You need a wise and

visionary man like me at your side to guide you. I heard that you are going through a divorce. After you

get divorced, we can be together. Let us make a name for ourselves in the entertainment industry

together. We will definitely thrive.”

“Shoo, shoo, shoo. Cut the crap. Do not leave just yet. I will get Heidi to draft the contract immediately.

We will signi

the contract now.”

I quickly got up. My initial frustration was gone, and I felt much more at ease.

However, Xander was unhappy. He put his arms around my shoulder and said, “Why the rush to sign

the contract now? I promise you that I will not run away. Have dinner with me first. After eating takeout

on the mountain for a month, I feel like I am dying in need of

a good meal.”

“Alright, considering that you have helped me, I will treat you to a big meal today.

After all, Xander was part of the company, so there was really no rush. I called Cecilia, and the three of

us went t o the most expensive seafood restaurant in Salt City for dinner.

Xander had a great personality and was easy to talk to. Cecilia also enjoyed messing around with him,

so the

dinner only ended late at night. I had not felt this happy for a long time.

All the stress that I had been feeling was swept away.

Maybe I should have let it go long ago.

However, when I returned to the villa and looked at the empty house, I still felt an inexplicable sense of

melancholy.

I heard a text notification on my phone. It was Mason. He informed me that the surgery would be at the

hospital tomorrow at nine am. When I woke up the next day, I went straight to the hospital.

Mason was waiting for me at the entrance of the hospital. Behind him stood a group of people. 2)

Mason pointed at a middle-aged female doctor in a white coat and said, “Let me introduce you. This is

Director Jane

from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department in the hospital. I have already handed your file to her.”

“Thank you for doing this, Director Jane.” I extended my hand to her and smiled politely.

“It was arranged by the Director- o General of the hospital. It was no trouble at all.” Doctor Jane smiled Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

kindly.

Once we were in the hospital, I went through the basic medical checkup and then straight into the

operating theatre. I was a little nervous and stood there rubbing my hands together uneasily. 1

Director Jane followed me in and said with a smile, “Mrs. Grant, do not worry. The surgery is a simple

procedure. Once the anesthetic takes effect, you will be asleep, and it will be over quickly.”

I nodded, bracing myself to what was

about to happen, and laid down obediently on the cold operating table.

It was as she said. After a while, I slowly closed my eyes and lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I was already in a hospital bed.

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Theo’s icy cold face. His thin lips were tightly pursed,

and his dark eyes were filled with bloodlust as if he wanted to swallow me alive,

His hands gripped so tightly onto the railings by the bed that his knuckles turned white.

My heart sank. I had never seen Theo this way before.

I wanted to reach out and hold his trembling hands, but he shook it off. I opened my mouth to say

something, but I did not know what to say. 1

Theo was furious and could no longer control his rage any longer. He reached out his hand and was

about to slap me…
