The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1267

I frowned. "Thanks for your concern, Ms.

Reed. But as you can see, I’m fine.” "I was going to tell you about the things I discovered, but since you don't have time, then let's just forget about it."

I froze.

Theo had assigned someone to investigate this matter and did not say much to me, which meant that he had not found anything.

How did Cindy find out about this, then?

Why was she investigating it?

Did she have anything to do with this?

"What do you know?" I did not want to beat about the bush with her and asked straightforwardly.

"I felt really sorry for Theowy having to work on usual days and investigate this matter for you at the same time, so I found someone to do it for me. Only, I never expected the result to be so shocking. If you want to know, then don't you think you should at least be nicer to me?”

I understood what she meant by that and asked with a frown, "Where should we meet?"

Cindy told me the address, and I hung up.

After going back to my room to get changed, I went out.

She had asked to meet in a cafe and had already arrived. She was sitting by the window drinking coffee.

Seeing that I was here, she put down the coffee cup and said with a smile, "The coffee here is amazing. It has just the right amount of bitterness."

I pursed my lips, not planning to answer her.

I did not like bitter coffee, unlike her. This was the same with life. I could not stand even a hint of bitterness in life.

After ordering a glass of juice and seeing that Cindy still did not intend to say anything, 1 asked with a frown, "Surely you didn't invite me here just to drink coffee with you, Ms. Reed?"

What did that matter, though?

I sneered. "You merely had a meal with him and are already coming to me to show off about it. Don't you think that's pathetic?"

"If you think I'm showing off to you, then that's fine. I have a special liking for seafood and Theowy remembered it. When I came to Hommiton City, he immediately brought me there. I have to apologize to you because we were having a meal together on the day of the incident.

Otherwise, nothing would've happened to you."

What a level-headed thing to say.

I smiled slightly. "The fact that someone tried to kill me has nothing to do with you having a meal together. Besides, after the incident, I finally know how much your so-called Theowy loves me. I guess it’s worth it."

The smile on Cindy's face faded.

She suppressed the anger in her heart and asked, “I’m interested to know what sort of person you've offended that the other party was so eager to kill you without considering the repercussions. They even used such a torturous method too."
