The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2280



Playing dumb with me, eh?

I narrowed my eyes and approached him. I observed his expression and noticed that his eyes were dodgy and his mouth was faltering. He was obviously lying.

I pulled his ear, exerting a little strength. He wailed, "Sis Wan, it hurts."

"I'm reminding you not to forget seniority. You have to call me 'Sis', got that?"

This brat would soon forget who he was if I did not remind him.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

"I know, I know. Let me go."

I let go when I heard his response.

Marius covered his ears and looked at me with a bit of resentment. I stared back at him with wide eyes. "What's up? Are you not satisfied?"

I put my hands on my hips. Marius covered his chest with both hands just when I was about to hit him again. "Stop. I was wrong, okay?"

"If you were like this earlier, there would've been trouble." I brushed my hair and then walked forward.

"Wait for me, Miss Lane."

I shared this matter with Theo immediately when I got back to the homestay.

I told him the important point because, as a business leader, he must know Silas.

"Theo, I figure you must have heard of this name?"

As I thought, Theo nodded. "I have indeed heard of him. It could be said that he was a prodigy in the business world. He founded Yard Corporation by himself before he got married and managed to promote the company around the world. Silas became famous that way.

"With how powerful he was and the perks he would have had, he should've been able to take to the skies.

"Far more than that, Silas dabbled beyond the business world and started investing after he got rich. Whaldorf City 30 years ago was far less developed than it is now, and Silas was a part of it. He invested a lot of money in the development of Whaldorf City. In fact, he was once a member of the Whaldorf City Municipal Committee, so he had a say in any decision."

"How incredible."

I was shocked by the Yards' strength and exclaimed, "He's such an outstanding person. How do people not know his children?"

"The Yards have three children, two

boys and one girl. The girl is the youngest and the most favored Unfortunately, she died when she was young, leaving only the two boys." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"She died?"

"Yes."

I frowned. "Then it doesn't make sense that it's Millicent."

Yet so many incidents had shown the characteristics of Millicent's father to be consistent with Silas' image.

"It's easy to cover up certain matters since the Yards were so strong." Theo's words gave me a sudden realization.

I nodded. "So, Millicent might be his child, but he didn't make it public."

"It's very possible. I think you can

bet

ask Cole about this after we return toorf City. He would probably

tell

you. I think it's almost time,"

Theo said in a deep tone. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

I could only put my hopes on Cole now.

We were supposedly on vacation this time, but it was more like an investigation.

"Let's put this matter aside for the time being and have fun the last two days. We can't have Munchkin come here for nothing. Moreover, we have Marius around to be our free tour guide." Content belongs to

Munchkin immediately surrounded him when he heard him mention 'have fun'.

"Are we going out to play?"

I caressed the top of his head. Children were definitely the most proactive when it came to having fun. "Yes, are you happy?"

"Yeah."

Munchkin hugged me and Theo. "Then, let's go out and play together."

"Okay, let's go."

We each held Munchkin's hand. We ran into Delia and Harriet when we arrived downstairs. I did not mind letting Delia come along, but Harriet would also follow.

Harriet spoke before I even had the chance to...
