The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1714

Sure enough, Keith had caught the photographer and was now walking toward us.

I turned to look at Hayes with an apologetic smile on my face as I said, "Sorry, Mr.

Simmons. Perhaps you’d like to leave now?"

I had initially thought he would agree to that and did not expect him to shake his head. He said, "I'll stay back and see what happens. After all, I'm one of the parties involved too."

“Alright." I did not turn his suggestion down.

Keith soon appeared with the security guard in tow.

I sat on the couch and glanced at the name tag pinned to his chest as I read his name out, "Gordon Ziegler?"

He seemed flustered now that he had been caught and gulped before saying, "Mrs. Grant, I was carrying out what I was ordered to do. Please, could you be kind and not expose me? I had no other choice.”

Pride often prevented men from kneeling, but Gordon immediately fell onto his knees before me.

I glanced at him coldly and asked, "Did you think I would let you off easy just because you're kneeling before me?"

"Mrs. Grant, please, you must forgive me. My wife is ill, and her treatment requires a lot of money. I only did this because I had no choice," he said in a pitiful voice.

I looked up at Keith and signaled for him to look into this. He immediately understood me and walked aside to contact someone else for information.

I shifted my gaze back to look at Gordon, who was still kneeling on the floor. "I'll admit that I’m soft-hearted. I can forgive you, but Theo was the one who got embarrassed by the photos you took and sent to the press. I can't be sure that he won't do anything to you."

Theo's way of dealing with things had long since been popularized, and Gordon knew perfectly well what the outcome of offending him was.

He immediately became flustered and seemed to be spiraling as he said, "Please, Mrs. Grant, I’m begging you. Please help me."

"Men's tears are quite valuable."

I had just finished speaking when Keith walked in and nodded at me.

It was true that Gordon’s wife was ill. Thus, it seemed that it was also true he was trying to raise money for her medical treatment.

The look in my eyes changed, but I continued speaking in a cold tone.

"Okay. I’ll decide what to do with you after I've met her. Keith, please escort Mr.

Ziegler to where he'll be resting."

Yes, Ma'am.

Hayes finally spoke after Keith and Gordon left. "I was not expecting this side of you, Mrs. Grant. You seemed so domineering just now.”

"I was once a CEO myself. Tiny shrimp like him mean nothing. Well have bigger fish to fry tonight."

I already had an idea of who it was, but I simply wanted to confirm my suspicions tonight.

A worried look appeared in Hayes' eyes. " Are you going alone?”

"No way. I would never have the guts to do that."

That was right. I would never dare go alone. At the very least, I would take Keith with me.
