The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2690

That afternoon, I was in line buying lunch and had not yet recovered from Keith betraying Theo.

After I absent-mindedly got lunch, I was about to walk back to the company when I saw Keith at the intersection. He was with Nibel. They were probably working nearby.

Disregarding everything that had happened, I walked up to Keith. He was stunned when he saw me but then greeted me politely, "President Lane."

Ignoring Nibel who was next to him, I looked into Keith's eyes. I wondered if I was hallucinating because his once clear eyes were now cloudy.

Images from the surveillance video flashed through my mind as I asked out loud, "Did you leak the distributor's benefits?"

I caught a trace of surprise in Keith's eyes the moment I said that. I already knew the answer, but I wanted to hear it from his own mouth.

Before he could answer, however, Nibel replied on his behalf.

"President Lane, don’t you find it inappropriate to just suddenly appear and point fingers at my assistant?”

My mood turned even fouler when I heard his voice. Immediately, I directed my sharp gaze straight at Nibel. "From what I know about Keith, he wouldn’t have betrayed Theo unless someone instigated him. What do you think about that, Mr. Nibel?”

Nibel's expression froze when he heard this before he let out a peal of laughter. He shrugged his shoulder. "You’re just simply snapping at anyone now, President Lane. Do the people of Hatton slander people without considering the evidence?

"There’s also a saying in Hatton which I wonder if you’ve heard? Don’t do something if you don’t want people finding out about it." I turned my gaze back to Keith. "I saw the surveillance video on your computer. What else would you use it for apart from leaking it? I’ll believe you as long as you can convince me.”

I was still holding onto that last glimmer of hope, but Keith's answer was disappointing.

"I'm sorry. I admit I exposed it."
