The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2268

"Was that woman named Millicent?" I tried asking leisurely.

"Millicent… Yard..." The old lady adjusted the reading glasses on the bridge of her nose, revealing a perplexed expression. "Perhaps. I can't remember clearly. "

The old lady was getting on with age, and I could not force her to try to remember, so I had to give up. "It's okay. Thank you, Madam."

At this moment, her partner came out, and the old lady hurriedly pulled him over. "Was the woman who built the primeval town 30 years ago named Millicent Yard?"

The old man was stunned for a moment before he smiled. "Yes, that's the name. You're so forgetful. I remember it clearly."

"Who said I forgot about it? I was just checking with you. This young lady was asking." The old lady pointed at me.

I was overjoyed when I heard the old man’s answer, and I nodded at him. "Hello, Sir."

"Hello, there. You were asking about our village?"

"No, I just heard about the Lover’s Yard Bridge and wanted to learn more about it since I found it interesting," I explained, not wanting to cause a misunderstanding with them.

The old man did not think too much about it. He just replied to me, “It is a very interesting story. I remember it clearly. The woman was named Millicent Yard, and the boy was named John Lovere. They were brilliant and beautiful, just as handsome as you two!"

"Thank you, Sir. I understand now. We’ll be off first, then. Goodbye, Sir, Madam."

"Goodbye, Sir, Madam!" Munchkin waved to them.

These two names circled in my mind while we made our way back to the hotel.

Hearing this, my heart felt as if I had been struck, and I felt a sudden pain. "The Yards are a big family. It should have caused a storm in the city back then, but no one has ever mentioned it. News about it must have been suppressed. The power behind this is unimaginable." I sighed heavily.

"It's good that you’re able to think of that." Theo’s lips curled and said with a smile, "So, Cole needs to be investigated. He’s not just a simple shareholder of Firefly."

I agreed with what he said. Cole was the one who dragged me into this investigation of the past. He clearly knew the truth but asked me to unearth it myself. What was his intention?

Suddenly, there was a hand was in front of me. "Mommy, watch the road when you walk, don't keep thinking about things." I heard Munchkin say.

It turned out there was a tree in front of me, but fortunately, Theo had protected me.

I came back to my senses. "Okay, I’ll think about this when I go back."
