The Woman From Hell

The Hanging Gardens.

The people who threatened me when I was here back then were Nibel's people.

At the seminar the night before, I accidentally saw him at the villa. He had said something into Nibel's ear. It was as early as then that Nibel already had his eyes on me.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

In other words, Delia had never ceased her threats upon me.

I had thought Theo was the one behind it. Now that I thought about it, perhaps she had arranged for Theo to appear here.

Standing here and looking into the distance, the cold wind blew past and made my nose red. Yet, my body did not feel cold at all. I made an appointment to meet Delia here. It was already the appointed time, but she had not shown up yet.

I was not in a hurry and stood there quietly waiting for her to come.

"Wanda, why did you ask to meet me here?"

Delia's annoyed-sounding voice came from behind me. She was wearing a coat and a scarf, likely because she was afraid of the cold.

Her stomach was getting bigger and bigger. One could even see the bump clearly through her coat.

Tilting my head, I looked at her with a hint of amusement in my voice. "Why did I ask to meet you here? You should be very clear about that, Miss Owens."

Having said that, I continued to stare at Delia with burning eyes.

She looked back at me and smiled. Delia avoided my gaze and feigned innocence as she replied, "I have no idea what kind of pills you decided to drug yourself with. Also, please call me Madam Grant now."

I laughed and lowered my head slightly. "As far as I know, you and Theo haven't gotten your certificate yet. Although everyone is calling you Madam Grant, don't let it get to your head. You haven't gotten the marriage certificate yet, so you're not his official wife. It's only normal for me to address you as Miss Owens."

"We've only not seen each other for a few days and that mouth of yours has gotten so cheeky. Don't tell me you called me out here today to banter with me. Your month is quickly coming to an end. You should hurry up and deal with your matters and then leave this place." Delia finally brought this issue up as I had wished.

I smiled slowly, my eyes fixed on her. "Huh, so you're still aware of the one-month period we decided on? What are you doing, then?"

I took out a photo and showed her the gift box Nibel gave me.

Delia reached her hand out to take the photo and look at it. There was a smile on the corners of her lips, but she remained silent. "Why aren't you saying anything? Could you be guilty, Miss Owens?"

She snorted and threw the photo to the ground. Looking up at me, her gaze was much sharper. "Since you've come up to my door now, let me be honest with you, then You're right. I got Nibel to do this.

Such a breezy admission was not her style.

I furrowed my brows and scrutinized her. "Why did you do it? Didn't we agree to one month? Are you backing out on your word so quickly?"

Delia looked at me, the sneer still on

her mouth. She shrugged her

shoulders. "You were the one was@njust first. How can you blame

me for being unrighteous? tent

"What do you mean? What are you talking about? I haven't done anything during this time."

She smiled. "You're the one who gave Theo that wound on his lip, no?"

Her question stunned me.

The day I visited Zeke Shimmer?

I laughed lightly. It turned out this was the reason.

Delia's gaze locked onto me. "Is your memory working now? I gave you a month to deal with your matters. Is this how you do it?"

"Oh please, Miss Owens. You ought to research before you act. Theo was the one who pulled me into the car. He was the one who started it. I bit him to get away from him. Is that wrong of me? Or did you think things got way too heated between us and that's why I-"

"You're shameless, Wanda Lane!"
