The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2279

I smiled lightly, my eyes bright as I looked at Mr. Carter. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, the lady’s family later invested in our village, which is why it’s a tourist attraction today.

There’s a signage board at the foot of the mountain with the name of the investor written on it."

Signage board?

"Where is that signage board?"

"It's at the foot of the mountain of the scenic area."

I immediately got up and bowed to Mr. Carter. "Thank you, Mr. Carter." Then, I flew out of the house.

The mountain that we climbed was not the one where the scenic area was. Instead, it was the one developed next to it.

Marius hurriedly chased after me, shouting, "Slow down. You don't know the way. I'll take you there."

I slowed down when I heard his voice and looked back at him. "Come on." I was in a hurry and was anxious to find out.

Marius led me to the mountain base of the scenic area.

Sure enough, It was as Mr. Carter had said. It was not a signage board but a stone tablet engraved with the date when the scenic area was established and its investor, Silas Yard.

"Silas Yard?"

Marius’ brows furrowed. "The Yards used to rule the capital back then. Sis Wan, what’s your relationship with the Yards?"

I could tell from his tone that the man was extraordinary in the past. His family was aristocratic, rich, and powerful, and Millicent's death was definitely connected to him.

However, Millicent was his own daughter. How could he?

I was thinking this and did not hear Marius at all.

That was until he patted me on the shoulder. "Sis Wan!"

I came back to my senses and looked at him. "Huh?"
