The Woman From Hell

Chapter 5

F*cking hell, with her acting skills. It would be such a waste if she did not become an actress.' I could

not help but vent out in my heart.

“It is okay. I am strong and not afraid of the rain. I am glad you are okay.” Not wanting to pretend

around with her anymore, I walked around the table to get ready to work.

My words stunned Cindy. She turned around and looked at Theo. "Theowy, it is all my fault. I wasted

Wanda’s effort to go all the way there for me. Can you let her have breakfast with us as my apology?"

I...

At first, Theo was seated there and could not be bothered about me. When he heard Cindy speak, he

put down the hairdryer and looked at me. "Come and eat."

His tone was cold and emotionless.

Did it hurt? I was used to it!

When it came to Theo whom I cared about, I could never reject him coldly.

Despite having mixed feelings, I still smiled and said softly, “Thank you.” Then I turned around and sat

on the other corner of the sofa.

"Wanda, try this burger. It is mine and Theowy's favorite. Whenever we are together, he would always

queue up to buy it." Cindy handed me a burger.

I looked down at the burger. I did not consider it as a burger, but instead, it was their way of showing

their affection in public. I held it in my hand but didn't eat it.

When Cindy noticed my lack of reaction, Cindy became a little resentful. She turned to Theo and

smiled. "Theowy, if I get to act in the film, you must buy the burgers for me when you visit."

Theo froze for a moment. After hearing about the film, he remembered the real purpose that he came

here today. He glared at me and coldly said, "Terminate the contract with Sherry Young immediately."

“You said that the operations of the company are fully under my control.” Although I was afraid of his

imposing manner, I had to put my foot down to protect the interest of the company. How could I just

terminate the contract with the female lead whom I had just signed?

Sherry was currently one of the top four most popular actresses. She had good looks and acting skills.

Most importantly, whoever played the role of male lead with her would become popular because of her.

"The Biography of Empress Anna" was set to be the company's annual blockbuster. I was counting on

Sherry to make the film popular and to elevate the male actors of our company.

"Wanda, don't be angry with Theowy. It is all my fault. Ever since I debuted, I have not acted, mainly

because I have not found a character that I liked. This time, when I heard about “The Biography of

Empress Anna”, I mentioned to Theowy that I wanted to be the female lead. I did not know that you had

already signed another actress for the role."

Cindy looked at me in shame again. She looked terrified and guilty!

"It is not your fault. Be good and eat." Theo gently patted her hair.

He turned to me once again and assumed his cold demeanor. He raised his voice and said, “I have

also said that Nectarine Entertainment existed for Cindy. Everything should follow her wishes.”

His tone was stern.

He was right. Nectarine Entertainment indeed existed for Cindy.

"Three years ago, when Theo married me, Cindy had kicked up a big fuss over it. To make her happy,

Theo bought a film company for her. He named it Nectarine Entertainment. Its existence was primarily

to support Cindy. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Perhaps it was for Cindy to vent her anger that Theo transferred me over to manage the film company.

If I was said to be the thorn in Theo's heart, then Nectarine Entertainment was the arrow he used to

stab deeply into my heart to avenge Cindy. In the past three years, Cindy had not acted. Other than

sticking closely to Theo, she had specially created all kinds of trouble for me.

Every day, apart from seeing how they expressed their love to each other and trampled me, I also had

to deal with the multitude of troubles Cindy threw at me.

On one hand, I was spending money and effort to gain popularity for Cindy, who did not do anything, to

keep her relevant and on top of trends. On the other hand, the company was doing well under my

management. Few films and television projects that I had invested in gained popularity. Several young

celebrities in our company were elevated to the top.

"The contract has already been signed. If we terminate the contract, the penalty will be ten times the

original amount." I was speaking the truth. Sherry's schedule was super packed. To sign the contract, I

had offered a considerable price even in the industry.

"That is your problem!" Theo stood up and wanted to leave with Cindy.

“Theo.” Seeing that he was about to leave again, I called out to him.
