The Woman From Hell

I quickly downed a large glass of milk before saying," It's not too bad. Try it."

Having said that, I hurriedly got up and said, "I'm running late. I'll make a move first."

"Wanda Lane, you liar! How did you even bring yourself to eat something this salty..." Behind me, Cecilia's disappointed and furious roar rang out.

I shook my head with a smile. Cecilia probably had no talent for cooking in the kitchen.

When I got to the company, Heidi reported to me about the filming at night. Everything was ready.

Complex matters were left for the experts to handle. The pre-financing and personnel matters had been handled. In regards to the competition, there was nothing left that required my attention. I just had to wait for the results.

I had not even begun working on the acquisition report that Theo wanted me to do. At the thought of that, I brought my laptop to the development department.

I spent the whole day learning from the professionals and gained a lot of knowledge. It was not until Heidi gave me a call that I hurried to the site.

As the participating celebrities were no minor celebrities, coupled with two major celebrities like Xander and Sandy, the security measures on the scene were especially tight.

The audience who participated in the filming were all specially selected die-hard fans of the celebrity team, s o although the scene was crowded, it was not chaotic. Everything was in order.

After greeting the director, I found a corner and sat down to watch the filming.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

My phone vibrated and I picked it up to take a look. It was an email from Tyler. As usual, the rate at which h e did things was still as fast as ever.

I tapped open to take a look, and sure enough, Newlight Media's backer was the Zeniths from Whaldorf City. The family had influences in the underworld. Their goal was to use this opportunity to suppress Grant Corporations so Theo would not expand his business there.

My head was hurting a little and I closed the email. I had to think of a perfect solution so Newlight Media would not be able to find a pretext on this matter.

I did not thank Tyler. Although I knew that he would b e furious, some things were best left in the past. I probably would not meet him ever again.

The whole filming went well. As the only male celebrity present, Xander easily became the center of attention. His performance was worthy of praise. It seemed that he had come prepared.

The filming ended. After a full day of intense work, I was unbearably exhausted and left early after informing Heidi about it.

At the underground garage, I ran into Zedd walking toward me.

Sometimes, I really wondered if he was deliberately creating chance encounters with me or he was just out to mock me.

Sure enough, even from afar, Zedd tutted and said, " Looks like someone was sleeping alone again last night. Look at that exhausted face, you look no different from a resentful woman. Well, it all makes sense because Theo knows that Cindy is afraid of thunderstorms and won't let her spend the night alone if there’s a massive thunderstorm-just like the one last night.”

It turned out that he had gone out last night to keep Cindy company. Sure enough, one would always treat one’s true love differently.

Thinking about it now, of all three years I had spent with Theo, he seemed to never be at home whenever there was a thunderstorm, i

There were no fluctuations in my heart. Sometimes, one would eventually get used to pain.

The relationship between the three of us was just like a food chain, and I was the most redundant one at the bottom. I was never cared for, always at the end, and utterly disposable.

I was silent and did not snap back at Zedd either. After all, he was right. I could not find a reason to speak.

Perhaps he was used to me talking back and getting humiliated by me, so Zedd immediately lost it when I did not say a word and came over to grab my clothes. He said, "Did you hear what I said?"

I stopped in my tracks and looked at him. "I heard you loud and clear. You’re right, Mr. Zedd. Cindy is Theo's precious treasure and he loves, protects, and cares for her. I'm the redundant one.”

I got into my car after saying those words and drove off, leaving Zedd alone with the wind.

In the car, I sank into deep thoughts.

I initially planned to divorce the man and leave after I was done handling the company's affairs, but plans always fell through. At this point, I was feeling quite lost.

Although Theo did not love me, I noticed how much h e had changed ever since I became pregnant with our child. If I stayed, perhaps he would shower the child with love.

Even if he only had eyes for Cindy, he could at least give the child fatherly love. Was my happiness any more important compared to the child’s?

What should I do?

My heart was a mess and I decided to put this thought aside, thinking that everything would turn out alright.
