The Woman From Hell

Chapter 29
The car was quiet once again. I starter the car and drove back to the villa.
On the way back, I rolled down the ca windows and let the wind blow agains my flushed face. After some time, I finally felt better.
However, Theo’s words, “You owe me a child.” kept replaying in my mind It seemed like he had really gotten hims unk for the
past few days because of our child. He must have genuinely loved the child a lot! That was why he blamed himself for not
protecting the child well.
When I thought about this, I was overcome with heavy emotions.
But what could I do?
Cindy was his responsibility. She was a responsibility that he would never letg o of for his entire lifetime. If I insisted o n keeping
the child, Cindy would threaten me with her life again. He would be the only one suffering then.
I was already tired of this emotional struggle between the three of us. Now with a child in the picture, I did not dare to imagine
what would happen.
Hence I had made the best choice for all of us. I would bring the child away, and he could continue looking after Cindy. This
would be the best outcome for everyone.
My thoughts were all over the place as I continued driving. Soon, we reached the villa,
I looked at Theo’s face as he slept. I opened the door of the passenger seat and shook his arm. Theo Grant!” I called out softly.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He then turned around to look a t me. “Did you take me home?” He asked in an
even tone.
I nodded. It seemed like the alcohol was wearing off.
“Let’s go in. It is late.” After going through an eventful night, I felt rather tired.

He did not say anything. He simply leaned against the seat motionlessly. H e seemed to be deep in thought. “Do you need my
help?” I asked. He was slowly getting sober. Perhaps he did not have the energy to get down from the

car. 1
“I will sleep here for a little while longer.” After that, he closed his eyes once again.
My outstretched arm was left there for
a moment. After a while, I retracted my arm and said, “Sleep all you want then!” After that, I turned around and returned to the
villa.
I returned to my bedroom and took a bath. Afterward, I laid down on the bed. Lightning flashed outside the window, indicating
that it was about to rain again. I got worried. After hesitating for a moment, I decided to get up and go downstairs.

Luckily, he had already come inside the house. He was lying on the sofa.
I then turned around and returned to m y room.
The next day when I woke up, Theo was nowhere to be found.
After brushing my teeth and washing u P, I headed straight to the company. 1
As soon as I stepped in the door, Heidi ran over and spoke in an urgent tone,
The shareholders want to convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. We are all waiting for you in the meeting
room.”
“An extraordinary general meeting for shareholders?” I looked at Heidi in shock
“That is not all. The investors and commercial sponsors of The Biography of Empress Anna’ are there as well. The director is
there too There was a bitter expression on Heidi’s face. She was so nervous that she started stomping her foot.
What in the world happened?” I asked with a heavy tone.
This morning, we had announced that we were terminating Sherry Young’s

contract. We had paid her compensation. The company had lost a large sum of money. Once the shareholders heard about it,
they
rushed over immediately. The sponsors and director were notified about it as
well. 11
“A termination of contract? Why did I not know anything about it?” I was slightly confused.
“I heard that the President announced the termination himself. Besides, the investors, commercial sponsors, and the director are
all here to ask for clarification and compensation after hearing that we were changing the female lead. Fried calling you all
morning, but your phone was turned
off.” 095
I just recalled that Theo had turned off my phone last night. I had forgotten to
turn it on.
My head started to hurt.
Theo had terminated Sherry’s contract without notifying me. He was willing to pay the compensation worth tens of
millions without a second thought just for Cindy
Had he never thought about the sticky situation that I would be in? How would I explain it to the shareholders and the Sponsors?
After thinking for a while, I turned and told Heidi, “Go to the meeting room and handle the situation first. I will head over to the
headquarters.”
