The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2526

The Yards’ mansion.

Silas scrutinized me, his gaze contemplative before a smile crept onto his old face. “You’re here. You’ve thought things through, then?”

I looked at him and could hear the self-confidence in his voice. Silas had long since known that it would not be long before I could no longer stand it and come looking for him.

Narrowing my eyes, I smiled. “Yes.”

He was probably confident that I would return to the Yard family. Silas was beaming. “You’ve decided to come back and help your brother put things in order, yes? I’ll have him offer you more guidance. In the future, you will—”

“Old Master Yard, you’ve misunderstood,” I cut him off.

I noticed his grip on the cane tightening slightly. His expression instantly stiffened, and the air in the room immediately dropped.

Beside me, Sylvester tugged at me. “Sister, stop messing with Grandfather.”

Shaking my head, I looked at Silas whose eyes were looking down. “Why would I mess around given my life is at stake?”

“Then what’s the meaning of this?” Sylvester grew up in the Yard family and was well aware of what type of person the old man was. Judging by his expression and tone, one could tell that Silas had not changed. He was still a fearsome figure.

“I meant what I said. I won’t go back to the Yards. I came here today to confirm something.” I looked at Silas and enunciated word by word, “Those people who came looking for me, were you the one who released information about me?”
