The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2259

A lot of people were involved with Millicent Yard, which led to the name appearing in my mind constantly. I also began to wonder what she looked like.

What kind of woman could shake the hearts of so many people?

After taking a shower, I sat in front of the vanity. I was applying lotion but then stopped halfway.

It was Theo's snapping fingers that sapped me out of it.

He looked down at me as he leaned against the table. "What's the matter? You’ve been lost in thought the moment you came back. Did things not go well?"

"They went well. Carlson agreed to Tyler and Susan's marriage." My voice was weak. Although it was a happy event, one would not be able to catch a trace of joy in my tone.

Theo brushed the hair on the side of my face and asked in a low voice, “Then why are you unhappy?"

I looked up slightly, confusion showing in my eyes. "I met someone at the coffee shop after Tyler and Susan left."

The man pondered for a bit before mentioning a name, "Cole?"

I nodded. "Yes, he heard our conversation and told me that if Carlson still did not agree, I could use Millicent's name and that he would definitely agree then."

Having said that, I paused, recalling the scene back at the Schumans’ residence. Carlson and Yvonne’s shocked but helpless eyes when they heard the name were unforgettable.

"I was just trying it out. I didn’t expect it to work.”

Even now, my face was filled with disbelief.

I gulped. Letting out a breath, I then looked up at Theo. His eyes were also dark. “Theo, do you think I’m somehow connected to this Millicent since everyone around me seems to be involved with her too?”

Theo patted my shoulder. He then held my hand, his lips curling slightly. “There must be some connection, but I don't know what kind of connection it is. I think Cole will give you the answer."

Cole...
