The Woman From Hell

"I do not know how to either. But the Old Madam said that the Young Master knows how to open it." Miss Woods

shook her head, looking troubled.

I kept the box and thanked Miss Woods before leaving.

Miss Wood's voice spoke out behind me. "Young Madam, you do not look too good. You must take care of your

health. Before Old Madam passed away, she had always spoken about you and wanted you and Young Master to

have a child soon. The Grant family's bloodline is in your hands now."

At the mention of children, I could not help but stop in my tracks. I raised my hand to wave at Miss Woods and left

without looking back.

Grandma had three sons. The eldest son, Eastin, had a daughter. The second son, Sam, had chosen to not have

any children with his wife. The third son was Theo's father, Nord. He passed away with Theo’s mother in an

airplane accident when Theo was three years old.

Although the Grant family had a big family business, they had very few family members. Grandma had always

hoped that Theo could start a family soon and continue on the bloodline.

"Oh, I was wondering who it was. Isn't this the former Young Madam of the Grant family? What did I say back

then? Without the Old Madam's support, you will not be able to be arrogant for much longer. Did my words come NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

true so quickly?" Just as I was thinking, a gloating voice came from the front.

Without even looking, it was obvious that this person was Eastin's wife, Janna Long.

It was natural that there were many disputes among wealthy families. Although Eastin was the eldest son, he had

never been put in an important position by his mother. Furthermore, he had given birth to a daughter. Thus, his

mother had handed the entire Grant family over to Theo instead. His wife was unwilling to accept this, so she

hated Theo.

She, however, never dared to act rashly in front of Theo.

I came from a poor family and was given an important position by Grandmother. I had become a thorn in her side.

Whenever she had the chance, she would mock me. I had long gotten used to it.

Suppressing the sadness in my heart, I raised my head and politely greeted her and Shea Marie who was behind

her, “Hello, Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt!”

"Why are you so useless? You were kicked out of the family just like that. Sigh!" Second Aunt sighed. Second Aunt

did not have any children and was holding shares in the Grant Corporation. She was not friendly to me, nor was

she targeting me.

"Theo is an ingrate. You can tell from his attitude toward the old lady. It is a waste that the old lady kept thinking

about him before she died," Janna said with disdain.

“Alright, that is enough.” Shea glared at her before turning to me. “Grandmother has already been buried. You

should go back earlier! If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to the old mansion to look for

us.”

“Mm. Thank you, Second Aunt.” I felt bitterness in my heart. After Grandmother had departed, everyone knew that

my fate with the Grant family was at its tail end. They all treated me as an outsider.

The wind would stop, the rain would dry, the sun would set, and eventually, I would lose him.

The Grant family's old mansion was at the top of the mountain. There were no foreign or branded cars here. It was

getting dark, so I quickened my steps and walked down.

"Screech…" A car stopped beside me. As I turned my head, I saw Theo sitting in the car. His expression was dark,

and I could not see any emotions.

Why was he here? Where was Cindy?

He did not look at me. His expression was cold as usual. He just said in a low voice, “Get in!”

Was he here to fetch me?

As I hesitated, the car started moving, and was about to leave. I did not have much time to think about it, so I

quickly opened the door and got in.

The temperature in the car was low, and I could not help but shiver.

He turned around and glared at me with a cold expression. The anger on his face was vivid. I could not help but

lower my head and whisper, “I do not have any other intentions. I just wanted to send Grandmother off for the last

time in secret.”

He must have been angry at me for breaking the agreement and appearing at the Grant family’s old mansion.

I thought he would fly into a rage and scold me, but he did not say a word. Instead, he turned around and focused

on driving.

Neither of us spoke on the way. The silence in the car was terrifying.

I pinched my fingers together and tried to speak several times, but each time I saw his dark expression, I forced

the words back down my throat.

After a long time, I could not help but ask, "Is Miss Cindy alright?"

The car came to a sudden stop, and Theo's suddenly body pressed against mine. His well-defined face was inches

away from mine, and his deep black eyes were full of coldness. I could see anger and murder intent in his eyes.
