The Woman From Hell

Keith's words surprised me as I stared at him. "You've really changed."

He remained indifferent when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at me with complicated eyes. "A change in superior undoubtedly must come with a change of frame of mind. Nibel brought Samuel back from overseas, and all the information is kept confidential. You and President Grant won't be able to find anything even if you do try. He also has information on you and Nina. He'll expose it the moment you try anything." "Damn it. Is Nibel trying to cut all of Theo's escape?"

"That's right, that's what he's thinking. Now that I've left the company, Theo Grant won't be able to continue any longer the moment you leave him too." Keith had actually begun calling Theo by his full name. His tone was so indifferent, and there was not a single trace of disturbance in his eyes.

Biting my lower lip lightly, I stared at Keith in disbelief. "You've been with Theo for so many years. Don't you have any compassion at all?"

"I only know that my superior has changed. I don't need to think about other things. What you should consider now is your own situation, Madam. You only have a week, after all."

I looked away, my heart a mess.

"No matter how sad you are now, it won't help. Why don't you spend your remaining time with Theo during these last moments?"

Last moments?

I was feeling more and more uneasy now. "What do you mean by that? Even if I leave, I can come back to him once the matter is over."

"Do you think that Nibel will let Theo live?" Keith's abrupt smile gave me shivers.

My steps faltered back in shock. I knew disbelief must be written all over my face at this moment.

Throat bobbing, my words shuddered. "Nibel wouldn't dare!"

"Nibel's methods have always been brutal. Do you know about a shocking murder case abroad?"

When he reminded me of this, I seemed to recall this one report flying all over the place back then. It was about the proprietor of a large company being found dead in the suburbs. The final result from the investigation claimed that the man had committed suicide due to bankruptcy.

Could that have been related to Nibel?

Keith noticed my expression and chucked as if he could tell what I was thinking. "That's right. Nibel was the one who pulled the strings behind that incident. The man didn't commit suicide at all." He was able to fake a suicide and hide it from everyone.

I felt my body go cold entirely. "This is Hatton, not some country abroad. He won't get what he wants!"

"Whether or not it'll happen, I have no clue. Regardless, Theo will not be facing a pretty end."

Hearing his cold voice. I looked at him with red eyes. "Why did you tell me this?"

"I want you to prepare yourself mentally. Don't try telling anyone. Otherwise, you and your children might not be able to escape either and it won't just be Theo."

I swallowed, and it felt like a razor

blade was making its way down my throat. Then, I smiled lightly. "You think Theo will just sit and wait to die? He must have a plan to solve this. He won't be affected even if I'm not around him."

"This is the contest between Nibel and Theo We'll see who wins and who loses in the end." Keith turned around after he said that. He looked as if he had completed his task and was preparing to leave.

"I know Nibel will lose in the end. What do you think?" I asked while facing his back.

"That has nothing to do with me. Even if Nibel's hands are stained with blood, it won't affect me, because I won't be participating." After saying that, Keith walked away slowly.

He would not be participating?

For a moment, I was a little confused...NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
