The Woman From Hell



Marius held a fruit basket in one hand and a dairy product in the other.

I glanced at the well-prepared gifts in my hand, and then at the person beside me accusatorily.

I liked the warm and kind Madam Klein very much, but thinking about our relationship inevitably left me with a guilty conscience.

"Haha, we're at the door. Let's go in!"

Marius' brows were slightly furrowed, while the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. His gaze was dodgy, and he had spoken in a relaxed tone as if pretending not to have seen the way I was looking at him.

I sighed.

Letting out an exhale, I sorted out my emotions. Narrowing my almond eyes, I put on a bright smile and pressed the doorbell with my slender index finger.

Ding dong...

The door quickly opened after that, and Madam Klein greeted me kindly. Her eyes were squinted as she held my arms happily.

"Aunt, happy birthday!"

"Wanda, you're here! I'm so happy to have you here. Come in quickly." She took my arm as she said that and guided us in. She suddenly noticed something and frowned slightly, "Why did you buy all these things? You don't need to do that when you come to visit. Come, let me!"

"No, no, no, Aunt. I can handle them!"

"Mom, all these were prepared by Wanda!"

Marius was smiling widely with his teeth showing. He brought out everything, his eyes were all smiles.

I came in holding Marius' arm, and Madam Klein said in a reproachful tone, "Oh, Wanda, you don't need to bring anything when you come to my place. Just treat this as your own home. Come, come. I prepared a lot of delicious food!" Countless unfamiliar faces appeared in my sight the moment we came in.

I stiffened, and the corners of my mouth twitched slightly.

"Ah? Haha..."

My smile was awkward. I did not expect so many people to be here. I turned away with a pained expression. My mouth was opening and closing, but no sound was escaping.

"Why are there so many people?"

I looked at Marius and asked angrily, but the person in front of me looked agonized. His peach blossom eyes were full of innocence as he answered softly.

"I don't know either!"

Marius was also dumbfounded. He had been completely in the dark about this.

"What's the matter? Why are the two of you still out there? Come in quickly! These are my friends!"

Madam Klein turned around and asked when she saw that the two of us still had not come in after a long time.

"Okay, Aunt!"

Madam Klein kept looking at me

enthusiastically and began

introducing everyone at the party, "Look, this is my son's girlfriend! She's beautiful, sensible, and gentle. I like her a lot! Haha!"

Everyone was smiling. There was a faint look of consideration in their eyes, followed by smiles.

I finally escaped from Madam Klein's clutches after a long time.

On the sofa.

I closed my eyes, expression

dignified and gaze empty. Suddenly, a figure came over. I put my arms around my chest and asked, "Why are there so many people? Our relationship is just for show. We'll be

exposed the moment someone

recognizes me. If anyone in the industry finds out, the consequences will be disastrous." I tried to

suppress my anger.

Marius lowered his head as he replied in a subtle manner, "I was unaware that my mother would throw a party. I thought it'd just be an ordinary birthday..."

He came over and continued explaining, "I've checked their backgrounds. Most of them are retired and not in the industry. Don't worry!"C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

A great amount of the anger in my heart dissipated.
