The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 896

He was still smashing things when he was mad even when he was already at such an old age. However, it was not a big deal.

I sneered and said no more. I merely stared calmly back at him.

His face was filled with anger and looked extremely grim. He looked as though he wanted to tear me into shreds.

After a few moments, the old man looked away first and said coldly to Mason, "Where did you find this unruly lass? Make her leave immediately. Is Lynch Residence a place for an uneducated person like her? How ignorant and unsophisticated! She must have a death wish to challenge me.”

I sneered. "And they say that the Lynches are a scholarly family. Just listen to yourself. Don't you even feel sorry for other scholars? If my son hadn't gone missing while he was here, do you think I would want to step foot into a vulgar family like the Lynches?”

"What did you say?” The old man completely lost it. He grabbed his cane and swung it toward me.

"It's been a while, Mr. Bernard.” A man's loud and

mellow voice rang out behind me.

The old man frowned and looked over my shoulder.

Everyone turned to look at the comer. It was none other than Theo.

Theo's tall figure stood in front of me. He lifted his hand to press down the cane that the old man raised. He smiled tenderly and charmingly. He appeared polite yet noble at the same time. "Mr. Bernard, we're your guests. Even if the Lynches don't welcome my wife, there's no need to raise your cane, am I right?"

Bernard snorted coldly and pointed at me, asking," This ignorant lady is your wife?”

Theo nodded, a smile plastered across his face. "She was chosen specifically for me by my grandmother. What do you think of her?"

"Only your grandmother would pick a wife of such quality."

After a pause, he continued, "Try and think back to who has a grudge against the Lynches and find someone to look into it. Check all the surveillance cameras near Lynch Residence as well and see if there was anyone suspicious around the mansion.”

Mason had probably come back to his senses as well. He quickly nodded. He pulled out his phone and went out.

The crowd in the living room was silent. Theo glanced at me and held my hand. Then, he looked at Bernard and said, "Mr. Bernard, my wife is worried about the kid so she’s bound to sound harsh. We seek your understanding. It's probably not a convenient time for the Lynches to receive us at a time like this, so we'll come back some other day to pay a visit."

Having said that, he took my hand and walked toward the door. Bernard was hoping to say something but we walked too fast so he did not manage to say it.

After leaving Lynch Residence, Theo and I were silent the whole way.

The car was parked at a hotel not far from Lynch Residence. Theo looked at me with a deep and dark gaze. "It’s really late now. You should get a good rest. We’ll find the child tomorrow, okay?"
