I had spent the past few days at home and thought that things would smooth themselves over.
After all, I was not a popular star or a business magnate. It was only ordinary that people would soon forget what was posted about me on social news websites.
However, I was wrong.
I saw another article talking about me the minute I began using my phone today.
The headline was [Theo Grant's wife suspected of cheating] greeted my eyes.
A picture of Hayes teaching me how to draw was included in the article. It would be difficult not to pay attention to it when I had been given the title 'Theo Grant's wife'. I massaged my temples. Regal Villa was a mansion on private grounds, so how on earth did these people manage to get their way in?
I put a mask on and left the house, hoping I could find some suspects by going through the surveillance footage captured at the door.
Before I arrived at the door, I heard someone say in an aggrieved voice, "We've always carried out our jobs diligently and would never have dared allow a stranger onto the property. President Grant, you must get to the bottom of this."
President Grant?
Was Theo here?
I hurried forth to take a better look, and sure enough, it was him.
Theo had a solemn look on his face. A dominating aura emanated from his body, and the look in his eyes made him seem like he was about to crush someone into pieces.
The man approached one of the security guards, glaring at him frostily as he said in a deep voice, "Carry out your jobs diligently? How dare you say that you're carrying out your jobs diligently when photos of my house made it onto the news?"
"You checked the surveillance footage yourself. There weren't any suspicious-looking people." Anyone would have shuddered when faced with Theo's intense aura, but even though the security guard was afraid, he managed to compose himself. However, there was still a slight tremor in his voice.
The corner of Theo's lips curled upward into a cold smile. He moved his gaze sideways to look at the other guards, who were all standing in a row. "I don’t think I’ve ever heard of the existence of blind spots in Regal Villa. If we can't find anything suspicious, is it possible that one of you did it?!"
The unyielding tone of his voice when he finished his sentence was frightening.
