The Woman From Hell

"I won't go on about the reasonings, but I believe everyone here understands that those who are willing to step into the same boat will definitely not lose the benefits offered by everyone in the future."

Although Delia's face was hidden, one could imagine her arrogance from her tone at the moment.

It was expected. Theo had released news about our divorce, after all, and the time for her to take the position of the madam of the Grant family was just around the corner. The child in her belly was the best guarantee.

Cindy gritted her teeth resentfully. "I must smite her arrogance. Are we not going in yet?"

Knowing that Cindy was unable to hold herself back anymore, I nodded to her. "Let's go."

Right as I said that, Cindy pushed the conference room door open with both her hands. "You'll have to gain my approval if you want to be a shareholder of Grant Corporation!"

Her voice rang clear in the large conference room.

I was standing behind Cindy, but everyone's eyes seemed to be on me.

As Theo's ex-wife, it was really inappropriate for me to be here at this moment.

I ignored their fiery gazes and could not help looking at Theo. The arrogant man was seated in the main seat as usual.

I had not seen him for a few days, but he looked a lot thinner. Both sides of his face were sunken, but his features were even more pronounced. The tough lines were majestic, and his thin lips looked like they were covered with frost. He exuded a cold air, making it difficult to approach him.

Seeing him like this, I felt like I had gone back to the time when I first married him.

Simply, he looked a lot sharper than he used to be at this moment.

Theo's gaze abruptly moved toward me, and my heart quickened. Meeting his eyes, it felt as if I was about to be swallowed by him.

"Why if it isn't Miss Lane? I thought you left Whaldorf City a long time ago."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Delia's crisp voice tugged at me, and I turned my gaze toward the woman standing next to Theo.

She was pregnant, but she did not look like she was. Delia was wearing really heavy makeup, and her red lips that were moving were like roses with thorns. Delia's gaze that was on me was also filled with daggers.

"I'm sorry to have disappointed you, Miss Owens, but I haven't left the city yet," I said lightly.

She fixed her eyes on me closely, a small smile on her lips. "This meeting today is an internal meeting of Grant Corporation. You and your friend don't seem to belong here

now, do you?"

It seemed that Delia was unaware that I was a shareholder. Theo had not disclosed it to her either.

Cindy replied before I could speak,

"She holds 3% of Grant

Corporation's shares. She's more qualified to be here than you, who don't even have any. She can even decide whether you'll be able to get a hold of any."

"What?" Delia frowned as she looked at Theo in disbelief. "Theo, is what she said true? You didn't tell me Wanda still has Grant Corporation's shares." Theo glanced at me before turning to Delia and clearing his throat. "It happened so long ago that I forgot. Hearing it today, it seems to be the case."

"You two are already divorced. You can rightfully take them back," Delia said angrily, her eyes on me turning even sharper.

"Who knows how long that process will take? Wanda is still a shareholder of Grant Corporation now, so her right is still valid," said Cindy ostentatiously with her head lifted. Delia's chest was heaving quite heavily. She was obviously angry as she clenched her fists tightly. "Vote, then. It doesn't matter if I lose just two of your votes." She looked very confident...
