The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2514

Just as I was searching, I suddenly heard a sound coming from downstairs.

Brows furrowed, I went downstairs. The main door was open, and there was someone slapping it and shouting outside, “Does a Wanda Lane live here? Please open the door. I have something to speak to you about.”

Who was it?

I moved forward cautiously. Fortunately, the door was still intact. That person probably would not trespass into the house. Perhaps if I kept quiet, they would think that no one was home and would leave on their own.

Thinking this, I kept quiet and made sure my movement was light as I was afraid that the people outside might hear me.

“Stop pretending. I know you’re in there. Come out!”

The slapping and calling made my heartbeat quicken. It was as if my heart would beat out of my chest.

My heart shook every time the person struck the door.

Just who was it?

I tiptoed to the patio, the surrounding flowers shaking slightly because of the slaps on the door.

I wanted to see who was knocking on the door through the peephole, but before I managed to get close, the deafening knocking and shouting made me flinch.

“Get out here, Wanda Lane! Or else I’ll kick down this door.”

The voice was loud. One could tell that it was a strong, built man without seeing who it was. Judging from the footsteps and the smacks on the door, he was not the only one there but the leader of the group. He had even brought his subordinates with him. Who sent him to teach me a lesson?

I had just negotiated with Delia for a one-month period, so it probably was not her who sent them to intimidate me. Could it be an enemy of the Yards?

After much deliberation, this was the only possibility.

“No one’s answered the door despite you knocking so long. That means she’s definitely not back yet. Why don’t you guys leave first?” The neighbors next door were overwhelmed and tried convincing them to leave first.
