The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2204

Hearing this, I was stunned before I replied with some hesitation, "Isn’t your residence in the opposite direction of Regal Villa, Miss Osborn? Could it be that you..."

"Harriet bought the villa next to you yesterday and will be staying there when she’s in Whaldorf City," Lola explained on her behalf.

The villa next to it…

Was that not Matthew and Nicky’s property?

It had changed hands again!

"So, that's the case. Why did you think about moving so suddenly, Miss Osborn?" I smiled and asked leisurely even though I already knew the answer deep down.

Harriet put down her cutlery and raised her pretty eyebrows. She smiled at me, and her innocent smile made it impossible to catch any hidden intentions. "My former residence was too far away, making it inconvenient to travel to your company. So, I moved a little closer. Besides, the public security here is quite good. I don’t think those journalists and media will be able to get in, so I can live here with peace of mind."

She would be at ease, but not me.

I took a deep breath and said nothing. Mainly because I was afraid that my tone would come off too strong and it would offend Harriet.

"You’re a public figure, Miss Osborn. Although security here in Regal Villas is good, it’s inevitable that fish will slip through the net. You shouldn’t walk around too often so as not to cause trouble," Theo voiced what I wanted to say.

This guy was not performing too poorly today.

I smiled and looked at Harriet. Her gaze was also directed at me, but the smile on her face had shrunk quite a bit. It also carried a bit of embarrassment. She slowly smiled again in the next second, however, and turned to Theo. "How are we so distant despite only not having seen each other for a few years? You calling me ‘Miss Osborn’ is so unsettling. Since I call you Theo, you can also call me Harriet."
