The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2620

Today was the day Theo was coming back. It was also the day we would be signing the contract with Nibel.

The moment I woke up, my phone blew up.

Shannon called me after I was bombarded by one message after another. Her loud and clear voice rang in my ears the moment I answered, “Wanda, did you just wake up? Did you watch the news? They’re saying Theo encountered an avalanche abroad!"

An avalanche?

My brain did not register the word as I had just gotten up. "What? What avalanche?"

"You can read the news yourself. Just click into it. It's already trending."

I turned on the loudspeaker mode and went to the news app. Today's hot topic read ‘President Grant's Demise After Meeting An Avalanche Abroad!’

What…

“I’m hanging up now. I’m going to give Theo a call.”

After ending the call, I dialed Theo’s number a few times, but he did not answer.

Immediately after that, I received a call from Grant Corporation’s secretary. “President Lane, the company’s been surrounded by the press. They probably rushed over for confirmation after hearing the news. Please hurry over.”

“I got it. I’ll be right over.”

The press was fast.

Flipping myself off the bed, I immediately made my way to Grant Corporation.

Sure enough, the entrance was completely surrounded.

I wanted to sneak past them but did not expect to be caught immediately.

"President Lane, is it true that President Grant was killed?”

"Today is supposed to be the big day when President Grant signs the contract with Mr. Nibel. Will the contract be canceled? Is President Grant is truly gone? Will this have any impact on Grant Corporation?"

"..."

A bunch of microphones was shoved in front of me, and I struggled to determine which question to answer first.

"Everyone, the news on the internet is just a rumor. President Grant will be back to attend the signing ceremony today. Please rest assured."
