The Woman From Hell

Sitting in the office, phone in hand, I listened to the instructions the person on the other side was giving.

"Nibel will definitely look for you in the next few days. All you need to do is listen to what he says when the time comes."

I frowned as I asked with narrowed eyes, "You heard something?"

"Yes. Remember to cooperate with him. By the way, do you want to participate in the bidding for North Courts?"

The news spread quickly.

Nodding, I agreed. "I do. I can't just sit and wait. My objective this time is actually to let the Yards know that we're not alone now. I have no interest in land development or splitting the profits. If it works, it works." "You have the right idea, but you should be careful. The Yards are not one to be pushed around, and since you're going to be doing just that, you ought to deal with them properly. Let me know if you need me."

I felt a hint of warmth in my heart. Lips pursed, I smiled lightly. "Of course. I'll look for you when I can no longer bear it."

"And one more thing."

"What is it?"

"I heard you followed Gareth Zeke after you failed to convince him but were discovered?"

Good news never left the gates, but bad news sure traveled fast.

I pursed my lips. "Where did you hear that from? Forget it. The subordinate you sent after me probably told you. It's nothing. I was just curious about him and wanted to know his secret, so I followed him, but he caught me. I don't know anything other than the fact he went to the hospital."NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

It had truly been a waste of effort.

"Gareth Zeke didn't spend so many years avoiding the Yards because he's powerless to face them. It's because he doesn't want to. Part of the reason definitely has something to do with Millicent Yard."

"What did you find out?" He sounded like he had some ulterior motive.

"I haven't figured him out yet. You focus on the Yards and Nibel. I'll help you look into Gareth Zeke."

I smiled slowly. "I'm sure we'll learn something very soon with your help."

"Alright, alright. I'll end the call now."

"Bye-bye."

My mood was excellent after the call. Shannon just so happened to notice that when she came in and looked at me as if I had committed adultery. "Who were you on the phone with? Your smile is almost splitting your face."

"I got unexpected help. Of course, I'm happy."

"Unexpected help? From who? Do I know that person? Tell me who this noble person is." Shannon raised a charming brow.

I shook my head. I had no

of indulging her with the an

a secret, but you'll know who. eventually. Just not now."

"Fine, keep your secrets. Tyler and Marius are done with the bidding. We just need to take part in it."

I leaned back and relaxed. "It's good having two big shots. We don't have to do anything."

"That's a dangerous line of thought. Are you still the eager beaver from before?" Shannon winked at me.

I looked at her and replied with a

smile, "I just think it's fine for me to have enough money to spend nowadays. Being at peace is better than anything else."

"What made you realize this?" Shannon asked as she flipped through a document.

Cradling the back of my head with my hands, I yawned and closed my eyes, resting. "Experience."

I heard Shannon chuckle while she flipped through the document. "Don't pretend to be deep. Hurry up and work." "Yes, President Collins."

I opened my eyes. Straightening my posture, I began working.

Just then, my phone vibrated. It was a mysterious number...

I slowly answered and a familiar voice sounded in my ear, "Would you care to meet, President Lane?"

I did not expect him to come looking for me so soon.

Opening my mouth, I answered, "Alright, Mr. Nibel."
