The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 266

Theo's grandmother had flown into a terrible rage because of that and had forbidden Quinn from ever returning to the Grant family. Everyone who stayed in the Grant household dared not to even mention her name.

That was why I had never seen Quinn in the five years I had spent at the Grant household.

I could tell that Quinn had married into a well-to-do family just by looking at her house. No wonder she had been alright with cutting ties with the Grant family.

Quinn pulled me along with her as we walked into the mansion. It was much larger than the mansion Theo had bought at Whaldorf City. One look at the interior decoration and its accessories told me they were of top -notch quality.

There was a massive, private swimming pool beside the gorgeous open-air garden.

Next to the swimming pool was a beach umbrella and a young, muscular man with a pair of sunglasses on lying underneath it. He was basking in the sun. On the patch of grass beside him laid a large golden retriever.

I had always been terrified of dogs because I had been

bitten by one when I was younger. To me, all dogs looked terrifying.

At that moment, the golden retriever's tongue was hanging out of its mouth as it stared at me. My heart rose to my throat as I instinctively clutched Theo's hand tighter.

Noticing my panic, Theo swept his gaze over to the man. An unpleasant expression appeared on his face, but he did not say anything as he held my hand tightly and silently comforted me.

Quinn turned to look at the man and smiled as she said, "That’s Matthew Zimmer, my husband's kid. He's the same age as you are."

Theo retracted his gaze and nodded slightly before he began walking again.

After hearing Quinn’s introduction, I felt I understood why Theo's grandmother had cut ties with her granddaughter.

According to her introduction, that young man was her husband’s child, which meant he was her stepson. Moreover, the stepson was Theo's age, while Quinn was only slightly older than Theo was. In that case, it meant that she, the stepmother, was about the same age as her stepson.

I could not help but turn around to take another look a t Matthew. Although he was wearing sunglasses, I could tell from the shape of his features that he was extremely good-looking. He also had a pair of long

legs, and I estimated him to be about six feet tall.

Even at first sight, I could tell this man was someone who had the best of all worlds, much like Theo did.

Perhaps it was because he sensed my gaze on him, but the man turned around a little and directed his gaze towards us. Although he had sunglasses on, I could still feel a severe frostiness sweep across us.
