The Woman From Hell

Did this woman have no other tricks besides this one? Did she not feel tired using the same trick every time?

Even so, someone would always fall for her tricks.

Take, for example, Zedd. He ran over and flipped me over, roaring, "What are you doing, Wanda Lane? Are you trying to kill her? Why are you such a vicious woman?"

He turned around after saying those words, picking Cindy up and coaxing her, "Are you hurt, Cindy?"

Cindy shook her head weakly and said softly, "I was just trying to say a few words to Wanda but didn't expect her to suddenly push me to the ground..."

The employees watching the fun had long disappeared without a trace.

I rubbed my elbow and slowly stood up. In order to protect the baby, I hit my elbow on the ground quite hard during the fall earlier.

Not far away, Theo's entire body seemed to be encased in ice.

He stood there without a word. I looked at him and said, "You think I tried to harm her too?"

He looked at me, his dark pupils a little sinister. He

said in a deep voice, "You're at the company. It's inappropriate for you to make a scene here."

His voice might be soft, but it was tantamount to pouring a basin of cold water down my head.

All of a sudden, my body chilled from head to toe, all the way to my bones. I looked at him, and after a very long time, I gathered the strength to smile and said softly, "I was wrong."

I was so wrong for being temporarily blinded by gentleness; I was wrong for thinking that he had changed; I was wrong for thinking that he would believe in me; I was wrong for overestimating my position in his heart.

It was all my fault. I deserved it. I asked for it.

Cindy lowered her head with an aggrieved look on her face. I was disgusted by the sight and went up to return the slap earlier with an even louder one. I said coldly, "This is how you make a performance look more realistic. Let me know if you want to put on a show again next time, I'll definitely cooperate."

I exhausted all my strength in the slap that my palm was burning in pain.

Cindy staggered and nearly fell to the ground. Zedd quickly supported her.

Not wanting to stay here any longer, I started walking t o leave.

Theo reached out to hold me. I used all my strength to shake him away. He did not say a word, an icy cold aura emitting from his body. I lowered my head and bit him hard. He finally let go of me because of the pain. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

I sneered, saying, "Now that's what I call making a scene. You should go and check on your lover, Mr. Grant. I didn't go easy on her with that slap."

Having said that, I left without sparing another glance at Theo.

It was still early when I left the company. Cecilia was probably still sleeping and I did not want to disturb her. I drove to a coffee shop near the company and prepared to calm myself down before heading back.

Coincidentally, as soon as I stepped into the coffee shop, I bumped into Xander and a female celebrity. The two were wearing caps and sunglasses, disguising themselves. It would be hard for the average person to recognize them.

The two seemed to be fighting. No, to be exact, the female celebrity was pestering Xander.

Xander did not see me. I was not in a good mood, so I chose a seat nearby to watch the fun.

"Stop it, Ginny. I told you before that I already have a girlfriend. There's no use acting like this." Xander's face was covered in a cloud of gloom. It was rare to see him so aggrieved. I could not help but find it hilarious.

"Stop lying to me. You always say that you have a girlfriend but all these years, I've never seen you interacting with other female celebrities." Ginny clearly refused to believe it.

"She's not a celebrity," Xander held his forehead and said helplessly.

"Ask her out right now, then. I swear, if you can get her to appear in front of me today, I'll not pester you anymore.” Ginny was sure he was lying.

"If that’s what you say." Xander stood up and fished out his phone.

My phone started ringing. He curiously turned around and saw me looking at him with a smile while waving my phone.

He put on a delighted expression and was instantly in high spirits. He rushed over and said, "Wanda, I love you so much. You’re truly my savior. Hurry, come to m y rescue.”

"Don't use me to coax that girl. My conscience won't let me." I declined his request politely and took a sip o f coffee.

"Please, help me. I promise it'll only be this once. She i s pestering me so much and hasn't given up even though it has been two years.” Xander put his hands together and pleaded in a soft voice.

Before I could agree, Ginny walked over. I was not familiar with this face. She was probably just an unknown female celebrity.

Back when I was working in Nectarine Entertainment, I knew all the celebrities even if they were not famous enough.
