The Woman From Hell

I called Petra several times that day, but I could not get through to her at all. Her number could not be reached, so I called Grayson, but the result was the same.

After dinner at night, I continued to call persistently in the room. There was a signal, but no one was answering.

"Where did you go? Why aren't you answering the phone?"

I threw the phone aside, slightly irritated. I lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. I sighed heavily.

Theo came out of the bathroom just in time to hear me sigh. "What's wrong?"

I got up from the bed and looked at Theo. "I met Cole again today, and he told me that I'm very likely to be Millicent Yard's daughter. Milicent was my adoptive mother's good friend. If what he said is true, then what about Petra?" I was at a loss right now and desperately wanted to know the answer.

"You didn't tell him about Petra at the beginning. Could it be that he made a mistake?"

"I don't know. That's why I want to ask my mother about it now and see if I can get some information from her."

I would not have asked Cole to look into this if I had known earlier. The matter would not be so complicated otherwise.

Obviously, I only wanted to know the secret surrounding the box, but now I was finding out that even my biological mother might be someone else. In that case, those who I had recognized as family before... "Your DNA matches with Petra's, unless..."

"Unless my mother knows Millicent Yard," I continued. "No, I have to call again."

Thank goodness, it finally got through this time.

"Wanda, what's the matter? I see you've called me several times."

"Mom, why didn't you pick up?"

"Your dad and I went out for a trip. We were out during the day. The place is a little out of the way, so there was no signal."

They actually went out traveling. We would not be able to discuss this clearly by phone.

"Wanda, is there something urgent?"

They were not in the capital city. Whatever I said now would just be me chasing their tails.

I took a deep breath and asked unhurriedly, "When are you going to come back?"

"Probably another week."

"Okay, we'll talk about it when you come back." I did not want to disturb their fun. "You guys have fun."

After hanging up the phone, I collapsed on the bed like a deflated ball.

"They're not in Whaldorf?" Theo asked me.

"No, they went on a vacation and will be back in a week," I murmured.

Theo looked at me sideways. "Will you be able to bear it?"

"Whatever. I've been waiting for so many years anyways. Seven days isn't bad. The company's sales are good recently. I'd better busy myself with work first." "Yes, I heard. Congratulations."

"Thank you. You also had a hand in this. I don't think I would be able to make it this far without your support." I admitted to Theo.

He tapped my nose and leaned

closer to me. "That's right, let's put aside those troubles for now. Do a good job first. When they come back and your company is stable, you can then deal with this matter.

"Yes, you're right. What would I do without you, Theo?!" I climbed onto Theo and collapsed onto him.

Theo hugged me, his handsome face was full of smiles. "It'd be best if you don't leave me, so you don't have to go anywhere."

"Don't worry, it won't happen again."

"Really?"

"Yes, no matter how much we

quarrel in the future, I won't run set

to other cities. I'll definitely annoy you to death in Whaldorf!" I covered my mouth and smiled.

He raised his brows, and there was a dangerous look in his eyes. "Seeing as how you dare to say this, it seems that I haven't disciplined you for a long time." Theo got up after he said this.
