The Woman From Hell

Arriving at the appointed location, I was about to select a private room when I saw two familiar silhouettes.

It was Theo and Delia.

Delia also noticed me, and a cold smile revealed itself on her face. She approached me and said in an unforgiving tone, "Hello, what a coincidence. Why do I feel like I keep bumping into you everywhere?"

I frowned. Why would they come here together?

I turned around, my tone none too pleasant either as I replied, "I would like to know why it is as well. I wonder why I keep bumping into dogs wherever I go?"

Delia was going to add more, but Theo stopped her. "Don't cause a scene in public. Do you still want to eat here?" He sounded very gentle, and she instantly calmed down.

"You!"

Sure enough, after he said that, Delia was no longer angry. She grabbed Theo's arm even more tightly. "Let's go with your suggestion and switch restaurants so that our mood doesn't get ruined. What do you say?" "Alright."

He went along with Delia rather easily.

There was a sourness in my heart. Delia glanced at me indifferently. "We're leaving, Wanda. We're not going to disturb your solo dinner anymore."

Without even waiting for me to answer, I felt a hand on my shoulder turning me around to look at its owner. There was familiar voice in my ear. "She certainly isn't alone. She's meeting me."

She emphasized the word 'solo' quite a bit.

I did not fight him off. Surprise flickered across both Delia's and Theo's faces, especially Delia's. "It hasn't even been that long and you've already found someone else. As expected of you, Wanda. You go through men really quickly. Even your relationship with Marius back then had been a little unclear, and now, you're with a foreigner," she sneered. Her words were particularly unpleasant.

This thick accent could only belong to Nibel.

My throat bobbed slightly. I wanted to refute what she said, but Nibel pressed his hand down on my shoulder heavily, motioning me not to speak.

He walked in front of me and put one hand in his pocket. "Foreigner? Don't tell me you don't know who I am, Miss Owens? Why don't you listen to my voice?"

Did that mean Delia had no idea what Nibel looked like despite having worked together? Had they never met?

Delia was taken aback for a moment but quickly realized. "Are you... Nibel?"

"Congratulations, you're correct," Nibel answered coldly after receiving a satisfactory answer from Delia. He directed his gaze to Theo. "President Grant, take good care of your

woman. She's pregnant esident

shouldn't be getting so agitated, lest it affects her pregnancy.

After Nibel said that, he returned to my side and grabbed my hand before leading me toward the private room. He raised his hand like he was saying goodbye to Theo and Delia. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Before we left, I heard Theo ask Delia, "You know Nibel?"

I wondered what explanation she was going to offer Theo.

Arriving at Nibel's private room, I hurriedly thanked him. "Thank you for saving me."

"It's nothing. Didn't I mention it before? We're partners. I'll offer you my help." Nibel did not take this matter to heart.

"It just so happens I'd like to hear your opinion."

"On what?"

I cleared my mind and told him about my meeting with Silas today. "Do you think we can believe what he said about getting North Courts' land at all costs?" After hearing the entire story, Nibel fell into deep contemplation.

"The Yards themselves can actually

fork out a hundred million on their own for the base bid. Now that they have the Grant Corporation with them, the price will definitely be steep."
