The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2279



I smiled lightly, my eyes bright as I looked at Mr. Carter. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, the lady's family later invested in our village, which is why it's a tourist attraction today.

There's a signage board at the foot of the mountain with the name of the investor written on it."

Signage board?

"Where is that signage board?"

"It's at the foot of the mountain of the scenic area."

I immediately got up and bowed to Mr. Carter. "Thank you, Mr. Carter." Then, I flew out of the house.

The mountain that we climbed was not the one where the scenic area was. Instead, it was the one developed next to it.

Marius hurriedly chased after me, shouting, "Slow down. You don't know the way. I'll take you there."

I slowed down when I heard his voice and looked back at him. "Come on." I was in a hurry and was anxious to find out.

Marius led me to the mountain base of the scenic area.

Sure enough, It was as Mr. Carter had said. It was not a signage board but a stone tablet engraved with the date when the scenic area was established and its investor, Silas Yard.

"Silas Yard?"

Marius' brows furrowed. "The Yards used to rule the capital back then. Sis Wan, what's your relationship with the Yards?"

I could tell from his tone that the man was extraordinary in the past. His family was aristocratic, rich, and powerful, and Millicent's death was definitely connected to him.From NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Millicent was his own daughter. How could he?

I was thinking this and did not hear Marius at all.

That was until he patted me on the shoulder. "Sis Wan!"

I came back to my senses and looked at him. "Huh?"

"I asked you so many questions. Didn't you hear me at all?" Marius looked at me helplessly.

I smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, I was just thinking about something. What did you ask?"

"I asked if you have anything to do with the Yards?"

At present... there did not seem to be any connection apart from my adoptive mother having known Millicent Yard.

Thinking of this, I shook my head. "No."

"Then, why did you insist on coming

Marius asked me.

I did not know how to tell him since I had not figured things out yet.

"Marius, I don't know what's going on. I'll tell you when I get some idea," I said isincerely.

He looked into my sincere gaze and could only compromise. "Alright."

This trip had not been in vain, however. At least I now knew who Millicent's father was.

There might not be people who know Millicent, but there was probably none in the business world who did not know Silas Yard, who was at the helm of the Yards. Even if he was the overlord 30 years ago, he definitely was still a legend today. Content belongs to

"Thank you, Marius. Thank you very much." I smiled like a flower.

Marius looked at me. "Are you that happy? Alright, then I want two meals." He gestured two fingers.

"Okay. I'll accompany you no matter how many meals you want, alright?"

"You said it."

"Yes, I did." I walked toward the homestay.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, and I turned to look at Marius. "Marius, did you call my name yesterday?"

I recalled him using my name instead of the usual address last night on that dangerous road.

Marius paused, his eyes shining slightly. "Did I? Why do I not remember it?"
