The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1656

He helped me up and walked me to the side of the table.

"You look calm," I said.

I knew Theo had always been calm in handling things, but judging from his personality, he would have thought that it was a strange thing to run into Jordan in France. However, it seemed like he had already known about this.

Theo rose to his feet and walked toward the kitchen. I watched him take the carton of milk out and pour some milk into a glass.

"Honestly, I already knew that he was going to be here. Besides, I saw their company's employees on the first day of the exhibition. I saw his assistant too.

That's why I guessed that he was probably

in France too. But I didn’t expect he would have brought Shannon to France as well."

Theo had already placed the glass of milk into the microwave while he was busy talking. The buzzing noise of the microwave slowly calmed me down.

"Then why did he come here?" I immediately questioned him.

"For the same reason as me. He wants to enter the mecha industry too," answered Theo.

"He’s not coming for you?” I was surprised to hear his answer.

Theo leaned against the countertop with his back facing me. I walked toward him, wanting to know the answer as soon as possible.

"Yes, and no." Theo paused for a moment and continued, "It’s actually easy. He's still

holding a grudge against me because of the business cooperation. Unfortunately, the die is cast, and there's nothing he can do to change it. The only thing that he can do is find a loophole to defeat me, hence why he chose to enter the mecha industry that I've just entered. He wants to defeat me in this field."

Theo smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

"But he’s a beginner too," I replied.

“You’re right. That’s why he’s sure that he can beat me this time," said Theo. There was a confident smile on his face.

"Don't worry. One has to earn the merits oneself to be one of the top few figures in this industry. Jordan can buy other companies, but the company needs to be strong and capable enough. If he's doing that, he's the one who should be worried," said Theo.

There came the microwave's ding, indicating that the milk had been warmed.

Theo took the glass of milk out of the microwave for me and placed it in front of me.

'Trust me. I won’t lose," said Theo.

I took the glass from him. The warm milk warmed my body, and the fear in my heart slowly disappeared.

"But I’m still worried. Let’s stick together if we’re traveling abroad next time. I'll be nearby even if you have to work," I replied.

Theo held me in his arms after I took the glass of milk from him. He said, "I promise."

The last hint of uneasiness in my heart went away in his embrace.
