The Woman From Hell

When I got home, Theo was already waiting for me inside.

"Theo? Why are you back? I asked aloud, surprised.

"I came back when I saw the news. I was afraid you'd start thinking nonsense."

Theo's words sent a warm current through my heart.

I stepped forward and threw myself into his arms. "You're so nice."

"Are you alright?"

I shook my head in his arms. "I'm okay. I already thought things through on the way back just now. Marius is right. To be born, to grow old, to get sick, and to die are all normal. Silas wasn't in good health. It's not strange that he passed at this time. But the news was relatively sudden."

"So, Marius has already comforted you."

There was obvious jealousy in his voice. I looked up at him, the corners of my mouth twitching upward slightly. "Are you jealous?"

"No, but I'm a little disappointed that I was not the first to comfort you." Theo squirmed a little when he confessed.

I hugged him tightly. "Even if you're not the first, I still feel warm. You even gave me a dependable hug."

Theo reached out and hugged me, finally smiling. "That's good."

The sound of a phone ringing suddenly broke the romantic moment. It was particularly ear-piercing.

I fished out my phone from my bag and noted it was Sylvester who was calling.

"I'm certain you've seen the news. Even though you didn't rejoin the family, I have to tell you that Silas' funeral will be held in three days. It's your choice whether or not you want to attend." Sylvester hung up right after he said that. I looked up at Theo for his opinion. "Theo, do you think I should go?"

"Sylvester told you this for a reason. Logically, you should go even though you didn't rejoin the family. Silas was still your maternal grandfather."

"Okay. Then I'll go attend."

Theo looked a little surprised that I would agree so easily. "You're not going to think about it some more?"

I shook my head. "Didn't you already say it? Logically, I should go anyway."

"Okay then." Theo nodded slightly, a smile gracing the corners of his mouth.

I felt exhausted, both physically and mentally.

I thought the matter had finally come to an end. I did not expect this to happen to Silas.

I let out a heavy sigh and Theo looked at me. "Don't think about it. Let's go upstairs and rest." "Mm-hmm."

The next day, various speculations about Silas' cause of death exploded on the internet, and some people did not believe that it was a heart attack. They compiled a bunch of illogical criminal cases. en

Maybe yesterday's news was too sudden for everyone to believe.

Although Silas' crimes were monstrous, I still hoped he would be able to pass on peacefully. Yet his death attracted so much discussion. Theo did not go back to the company and kept me company at home today. His expression also changed suddenly after seeing a message.

"What's wrong?" I asked when I saw his frown after he put his phone down.

He was about to speak when I received a call. Shannon's voice sounded from the earpiece, "Wanda, don't go to Silas' funeral the day after tomorrow." Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Ah, why?"

"I just received a message from Marius saying that Sylvester has planned something against you. Although we're not sure where the news came from, I think you

shouldn't go for safety's sake ver

"News?" I looked back at Theo. Could Theo have received the same information just now?

"Okay, I got it. I'll discuss it with Theo."

Hanging up the phone, I turned my gaze to Theo. "You received it too?"

"Yes."

He showed me his phone, which read: [Wanda, be careful of Sylvester!]
