The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1157

Just as the words left his mouth, Theo walked out of the villa.

He was clad in a black suit, carried himself in an imposing manner, and glanced indifferently at me before quickly getting into the car.

It was hard to hail a cab around here, and with the resort being so far away from here, even if I managed to get a cab, the driver might not want to take me there either.

I knew that I shouldn’t be stubborn during emergency times like this, so I looked at Keith and said, "Thanks."

You're welcome, Mrs. Grant.

I waited at the gate. When Keith drove the car out from the next door, I opened the front passenger door.

Seeing a lot of items placed on the seat, Keith said a little awkwardly, "Why don't you sit at the back, Mrs. Grant? We have a lot more files these days and they can't fit i n the trunk. That's why they're all placed o n the front seat."

I nodded. "Sure."

Although it was awkward to be with Theo a t the back, there was no other way.

When the car started, Keith probably felt that it was too quiet in the car and wanted t o liven the mood up a little. Hence, he started talking to me. "Mrs. Grant, do you know that things have gone missing in the research institute?"

I nodded. "Gaily called me this morning

and told me.

Jordan was speaking to the police. When h e saw that Theo had arrived, he hurried over to apologize. "I'm really sorry, Mr.

Grant. I'll offer you an explanation as soon a s I can."

Theo nodded and swept his gaze around the research institute, asking, "Have you taken note of the missing items from the inventory?"

Jordan shook his head. "Ms. Mandez is checking the inventory now."

At this moment, Gaily trotted over with a guilty expression and reddened eyes. It seemed like she had just cried.
