The Woman From Hell

I was shocked but then came back to my senses and met Sylvester's eerie gaze. "Nothing. I just thought it was weird."

Sylvester smiled when he heard that. "I just cleaned the place. What's weird about it? You should go back quickly and rest."

After Sylvester told me who he was, his attitude toward me had also grown colder, probably because he did not need to act anymore. "Alright, I'm going back now."

In the end, I entered the room while he watched. He seemed worried I would go wandering around Yard Mansion.

The next day...

I was having breakfast with Rooney.

"Wanda, did you go out yesterday night? It felt empty beside me for a time."

Rooney asked this, and Sylvester and I looked up.

"Uh, yes. I woke up for a bit," I replied lightly.

"Why did you wake up in the middle of the night?"

I knew Rooney not asking this with some ulterior motive, but for a moment, I was unable to think of how to word my answer.

Beside her, Sylvester spoke up at this moment, "I might have accidentally woken President Lane when I came back. We bumped into each other when she came out, so we had a night snack together." "Ah, is that so? You're a very light sleeper." Rooney believed Sylvester instantly.

"Uh... yeah, that's it."

Once we were done with breakfast, Theo also arrived.

Sylvester and Rooney wanted to send me off, but I refused them..

On the one hand, I did not think it was necessary. On the other, it was out of selfishness that I did not want Rooney to meet Theo.

This was probably due to the jealousy I had for other women. Rooney was so beautiful, and I had no confidence when I stood next to her.

I saw Theo leaning in front of the car when I exited Yard Mansion. The sun's faint light was enough to make him shine.

At this moment, I was glad that I came out alone.

The corners of my mouth hooked up in a brilliant smile. "Let's go."

Sensing my joy, Theo also smiled.

After getting into the car, he turned to look at me. "With how happy you look, it seems like you solved the matter satisfactorily."

I took the disc out of my bag. "This is the disc that slipped away from us before. I watched it last night. Your dad is innocent."

"You mean our dad. You forget we're husband and wife," Theo said.

I nodded and laughed. "Yes, Dad is innocent. He didn't do anything that went against his conscience. Silas made everything up. I also found out a secret." "What?"

"Sylvester isn't my brother. He was

adopted by Silas. My brother died a long time ago. Silas was the one who hid this and adopted Sylvester to be his grandson. Sylvester suffered many long years. I finally understand why he hates Silas so much." I sighed. It was undeniable that I felt sorry for him.

I had not been aware of the truth before and always thought that Sylvester was not a good person. However, it seemed now that this hatefubperson had a pitiful

backstory. I did not find him so hateful anymore.

Theo was not surprised to hear this. "In a way, his good times are just beginning after all that suffering. Silas will no longer interfere with the company's affairs, so Yard Group is now his."

"Why aren't you surprised? Do you know how especially shocked I was when I found out about it last night?" I asked when I noticed Theo's calm expression.

Just then, we came upon a red light, and Theo stopped before turning to look at me. "I've seen many fights between rich and powerful families. It's not unusual for this kind of thing to happen."

How could anyone who was part of this world not be affected by the things that were also part of it?

Theo came from a wealthy family and had been part of the business world for many years. This was probably just the tip of the iceberg for him.

"Okay, President Grant. So, there ar now no grudges between us."

"In that case, you can be the president's wife without worry."

"But I still want to figure out about my dad."

"You mean Gareth?"
