The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2179

Theo stretched his hand out and caressed my head as he said in an affectionate voice, "Let's give him the box, then."

His words surprised me, and I stared at him with wide eyes. "Why?"

I wanted to give the box to Jordan at first, but Theo swapped it with a fake one so that I could keep it. Yet, now he was actually asking me to give the box to Cole, which confused me.

Seeing through my doubts, Theo explained, "The reason why I didn't give it to Jordan was that I thought the box contained land deeds. The Fredericks have selfish motives, and I don’t want them to gain any advantage from the deeds. It’s also very likely that your adoptive mother left them to you as a last hope as she didn’t want them to threaten you. That’s why I made the switch, but the situation is different now."

Theo’s eyes were firm as he smiled faintly. He then stretched out his hand to brush away the hair from my temple. "Anders probably has something to do with you. He can help you find your biological parents."

Hearing this, I shook my head. "He might just want something from the box. It’s likely he has nothing to do with my background."

"The Fredericks are ambitious, but the Anders are different. They’re a scholarly family. Only Cole entered the business world, so they won’t have any ambitions,” Theo explained to me patiently.

He was right, so I agreed with him. "But even if I gave him the box, he wouldn't tell me."

"This is your bargaining chip, Wanda." Theo smiled at me. "He can state his conditions, so why can't you?"

After hesitating for a moment, I slowly said, "You mean, you want me to list out my condition to Cole and have him tell me the truth after he finds out?"

Theo looked at me, smiled, and nodded.

I frowned and waved my hands. "How is that possible? I think if I tell him that, he’ll definitely reject me."

"No, he won’t," Theo said with great certainty. There was also firmness in his eyes. "You must know that Cole is looking for this box to investigate something, but this something is definitely connected to you. He probably also wants to know your identity. You bringing it up would satisfy his wish."

"Is that so..." I hesitated.
