The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1044

"I'm so pissed." Shannon sounded chagrined. "I was so close but wasn't able to catch up."

She asked after a pause, "How was the lunch I made?"

"Not bad." I gave a fair assessment.

I suddenly recalled the incident last night. Dazaray seemed to know those old bosses, so I asked in a serious tone, "Do you know what Dazaray does?"

Shannon was astonished. "Why are you suddenly asking about what she does?"

I pursed my lips. "The case Jordan gave me is a little complicated. Dazaray seems to know some local bosses. That’s why I'm asking."

Shannon clicked her tongue. "Oh, please don't. She used to sell jade bracelets because she has channels for it. They cost an astronomical amount, so she knows a lot of rich people. But I heard that she's really cunning because she often sells counterfeit goods to people who can't tell the difference, so her reputation i s slowly being affected. I suggest not asking someone unreliable like her. Who knows? She might even set you up again."

I helplessly smiled. "She probably won’t set me up. I'll just ask basic information about the old bosses and

their companies. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy will you be able to fight a winning battle."

Last night, Dazaray was able to tell at one glance that the man standing beside Theo was called Mr. Isaac. She probably knew a lot of old bosses like him.

Besides, judging from the look on Mr. Isaac's face last night, he was probably there for the project. To be able to invite Theo to the club and gain a firm footing beside Theo out of the many bosses out there showed that his ability was not to be underestimated. Hence, I needed to get to know Mr. Isaac and his enterprise.

Shannon let out a long sigh. "Missy, you might as well ask Thaddea and me. My grandma has been living in Hommiton City her whole life and has a pretty solid foundation here. She knows these local enterprises like the back of her hand. Thaddea’s boyfriend is a property agent. Do you think he’s worse off than Dazaray when it comes to interacting with the rich?"

I noticed that most of the things she bought were luxury items. I asked curiously, "Does your family own a mine?"

She did not need to attend work or school and just spent money all day?

Shannon smiled slightly. "We indeed have a mine, but i t belongs to my grandma. Ever since she learned that my parents sent me to that school and nearly got me killed out there, she has forbidden them to control me. She took it upon herself to watch after me. That's why I'm living the life now."

Some people were born to work hard their whole lives to make a living; some were born to just sit and wait until the day they died.

I did not ask any more questions. I helped her carry her shopping bags. I got ready to go and have afternoon tea with her.
