The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1713

In the afternoon.

Keith stood beside me quietly while I held the guards’ profiles in my hands.

Most of them were married with kids, had elderly parents, and had honest and trustworthy-looking features. However, the things that had happened to me had long since taught me that looks could be deceiving.

"What are they doing now?" I asked.

"They’re still at their posts."

I put the documents down and walked over to stand next to the large glass window. It was where the photograph had been taken.

Looking outside, I did not turn around as I asked nonchalantly, "Keith, where would you say is the best place to stand to get a photo as front-facing as the one on the news?"

Keith seemed to understand what I was talking about. He walked over as he asked," What are you thinking of, Mrs. Grant?"

"Smart people remain smart." I could see the solemn expression on Keith's face from the corners of my eyes. “Since he enjoys taking photos so much, I'll let him get as many as he wants." My eyes narrowed, and a dangerous light glinted in them when I finished speaking.

Time passed by in silence, and day soon turned to evening.

The doorbell at the mansion rang.

I opened the door myself and was greeted with the sight of Hayes’ handsome face. A smile appeared on my face as I said, "Mr.

Simmons, please, come in.

"You’re too kind.”

Perhaps it was because he had read the news, he seemed rather uneasy this time.

I purposefully led him to the spot that I had chosen beforehand and poured him a glass of water. When I saw the nervous expression on his face, I smiled and said," There's no need to be worried, Mr. Simmons. Have some water."

"Mrs. Grant, I thought you'd be switching teachers," Hayes said after he had taken a sip of water.

"I've never been one to pay attention to online rumors, and I hope you won't take them to heart either, Mr. Simmons."
