The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 996

Keith was very much surprised. He, who was known for his steady composure, suddenly stood up and looked at me with his eyes wide open. "Mrs..."

"Hello," I said, stretching out my hand toward Keith to greet him first.

He froze for a moment, then turned to look at Theo.

It lasted for merely a fleeting moment before he put all his emotions away and shook my hand with a slight smile. "Hi."

Theo merely glanced faintly at me before looking at Milan, saying, "It's been a while, Mr. Milan.”

Both men were about the same height. One was mature and unwavering, while the other was gentle and elegant. Neither of them lost in terms of their aura.

I sat on the chair with Milan, my heart growing restless.

I recalled the words he whispered into my ears previously. Clearly, he was here for Theo tonight.

Nevertheless, the reason he brought me along made m e even more restless now.

"Did you bring the item, Mr. Grant?" Milan sat down and went straight to the point.

Theo raised his eyebrows, his gaze falling on my face. He sized me up with a slightly unfamiliar gaze as though he did not know me. "Don't you want to introduce her to me, Mr. Milan?"

His charming eyes carried a hint of imperceptible weariness. He must be very busy lately.

Milan took a glance and smirked. "She's just my female companion. Nothing special about her."

Theo nodded and asked no more, seemingly not interested to know more about me.

He glanced at Keith, who nodded and put the white leather case in his hands on the table. He looked at Milan and asked, "Do you want to inspect the goods here, Mr. Milan?"

Milan glanced blandly at the leather case on the table and said with a smile, "You’re an old friend, Mr. Grant.

I trust you."

I looked at him and saw that his countenance had completely sunk. The dim light made his gaze look even more vicious.

"What’s with that look on your face, Mr. Grant?” Milan said with a slight smile, "That necklace is too gorgeous. That's why I allowed my female companion t o wear it. You can't possibly think that I'm going back on my promise, can you?"

He took off the necklace around my neck after saying that.

Franky had told me to wear the necklace before coming here. He told me to take good care of it and

not to lose it.

Did Theo come here to buy this necklace from Milan, then?

Theo did not say anything and handed the necklace to Keith.

Keith took the necklace and examined it closely, then nodded at Theo.
