The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 181

I staggered backward. The pain in my heart made it hard for me to breathe. I had thought of countless possibilities in the last few days and guessed many people. I was even bent on thinking that Grayson did i t.

Though who knew that the result turned out to be such a huge slap in the face?

This was all indeed a conspiracy against me. They were merely going with the flow and glad to see it happen.

Not wanting to stay here any longer, I covered my chest and left the building that made me feel suffocated.

What happened next was similar to what I thought.

The results of the inspection were out. After conducting an investigation into Grant Corporation, they found no irregularities.

The death that happened outside of Mid-Nutri Technology was merely a coincidence. There was no direct evidence to prove that it was related to the company. As for the accounts, I was the one doing it i n secret and had to bear all the responsibility for it.

Therefore, I was expected to bear the penalties and

fines alone.

The company resumed business, and after bearing all the compensation, I was fired from the company, never to be hired again.

Things had finally settled down after days of drama. Grant Corporation suffered huge losses because of this incident. Their stock price slumped as well. Business was closed for a few days, but thankfully, everything went back to normal again.

As I was willing to take responsibility for it, the company was able to salvage parts of its reputation. Everything went back to normal after business resumed operations as usual.

I went from being in despair and sad to slowly calming down. However, I continued to have low spirits and could barely cheer myself up.

I had been staying in Cecilia's house without returning to the villa. As I no longer needed to go back to work, I had nothing to do at home and daydreamed all day. 1

My stomach grew very quickly, and a bump was already visible.

I no longer cared about what was happening in the outside world. I did not watch the news nor did I care about the current situation. I also stopped asking about Theo.

Cecilia was anxious to see me like this. She had been making all sorts of different dishes for me every day t o cheer me up.

"Really? Oh, thank God. I was afraid you wouldn’t like i t. We agreed that since you paid for more than half of the house, this house will belong to the two of us. If you don't want to stay in Salt City anymore, come and live with me. This will forever be your home."

"Thank you, Cecilia!" I reached out to hold her tight, unable to stop my tears from falling down.

She was always putting up with all my decisions. She also made arrangements and future plans for me in advance.

She had always been against me marrying Theo in the past, but when I got married, she was happier than anyone else. Worried that I would be bullied or that I would have no family to return to after fighting with Theo, she bought a house in Salt City to keep me company.

She would always be in the same place, smiling and greeting me with open arms.

"Do you have to be so moved, silly girl? We've agreed t o be each other's family and to take care of each other, no?" Cecilia patted my shoulder and consoled me softly.

"Mm, we'll take care of each other.” I smiled and nodded hard.

"Look at you, smiling and crying at the same time. Go and wash your face. We're going out to eat. We can't starve ourselves." Cecilia joked while cupping my face.
