The Woman From Hell

As I had guessed, Sylvester sent me a text message the next day to set up a meeting. I accepted, but to ensure my own safety, I hired a few bodyguards to protect me secretly.

I arrived at the designated location at the appointed time.

Sylvester attached great importance to this meeting. He had chosen a high-end place. This Western restaurant had been open for several years and had always been the most expensive in Whaldorf City. Sylvester was already there when I arrived.

Pulling out the chair opposite him, I smiled quietly. "I'm flattered that you invited me to such an expensive restaurant, President Yard. I'm afraid you must pay for this since I can't afford it."

Sylvester also smiled when he heard this. He replied as he poured me a cup of water, "Of course. I was the one who invited you. You're not only Wanda Lane to me but also my sister. Even if you don't admit it, you have the Yard family's blood in you. I won't treat you like an outsider."

For so many years, Sylvester had done things according to Silas in the Yard household. It was why he was now so bendable.

I did not take his words to heart and pierced him with my own immediately, "You should stop playing the family card, President Yard. Tell me why you asked me out this time."

Sylvester was a little embarrassed the moment I said this, but he was not angry. He just sighed lightly. "Mom will definitely be sad if she hears you say that."

"You're wrong. You didn't watch the videos she made. I have. They contain her deep hatred for Silas. She would have applauded me if she knew what I was doing."

Seeing that he would not be able to persuade me, Sylvester gave up and started, "I asked to meet up with you today on my own, not on behalf of Grandfather. I want to tell you why Grandfather must get North Courts' development rights."

Just as my appetite was whet, my interest was piqued. "I'm curious."

Sylvester looked at me with a

serious expression on his face. "The

entire thing is actually related to Mom. When Mom was still around, she adored the area in North Courts. She said the place was only a short distance from the seaside and that she could go there to relieve her emotions. It's close to the city, and if she's feeling down, she could go shopping at the city mall. Of course, if we win that piece of land, we can build a shopping mall in North Courts directly. This was Mom's wish, and Grandfather wants it to come true." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

It turned out it was related to Mom's wish.

Yet, no matter how I thought about it, I did not think that this was Silas' reason.

"He's so cold-blooded. Why would he care about Mom's last wish? If he really did care, he wouldn't have forced her till she died." I did not believe what Sylvester said at all. It was impossible for Silas.

"Grandfather looks cold on the outside, but he feels guilty about Mom deep down. I've seen it with

my eyes for so many years. You don't understand how much pain he is in this was Mom's only wish, and he's also doing it for me. We must obtain North Courts' development rights."

Sylvester looked agitated as his hands were propped on the table forcefully.

I stared at him, a smile still on the corners of my mouth. "I'm Mom's daughter. If I get it, I'll also be fulfilling Mom's wish, no?"

"But the Wagners are your ultimate beneficiary." Sylvester met my gaze with sharp eyes.

"Yes," I replied to him lightly.

"You can't fulfill Mom's wish, so don't interfere, okay?" His tone took a turn.
