The Woman From Hell

"Yes. If you look at it another way, it's not all bad if he picks up his pace. At least we'll be able to solve it as soon as possible and not have to worry constantly."

I went through too many similar things in the past. I gradually began to feel that things would sort themselves out sooner or later, so why delay again and again? It was a good thing to be able to resolve them earlier. Theo seemed to understand what I meant and nodded. "Okay, we'll go with your idea."

I knew he must have tried his best to convince himself to answer me like this. I took his arm and leaned against his shoulder. "The reason why I can be so assured is that I believe in you. I believe you'll make sure that I'm fine." "Definitely." Theo squeezed my hand and planted a light kiss on my hairline.

I did not want to worry Shannon and Marius, so I told them the results of my discussion with Theo. Marius did not say anything, and although Shannon felt that it was tricky, she still supported my decision. "I'll get people to watch Sylvester secretly and try to stop him from ever having the chance to try anything. You have to be careful, Wanda."

"Don't worry. I'll pay attention."

Marius did not say anything in the group chat. I wanted to message him privately, but after thinking about it, I refrained from doing so.

He was probably already asleep. He would see the messages tomorrow.

Thinking this, I did not care anymore and went to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, Theo had already gone to the company. He said that he had a client to meet today last night and that he would probably come back in the afternoon.

I heard the doorbell ring outside just as I finished breakfast and was a little surprised to see the person that Caroline had brought in. "Marius? What are you doing here?"Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

He looked tired as if he had not slept well.

"Are you really going tomorrow?" Marius asked me directly.

Could this be the reason he did not sleep well?

"Yes, I already discussed it with Theo. It'll be a big event tomorrow. Sylvester won't do anything. I can also take the opportunity to test him," I voiced my thoughts calmly.

Marius had maintained his anxiety with his head lowered when he came in. He looked as if he were pleading when he looked up. "Can you not go?"

Tilting my head to look at him, I could see the worry and anxiety in his expression. I just smiled at him. "Don't worry, it'll be fine.

"This is all based on speculation. If Sylvesteris really going to do something tomorrow, then he must have laid a trap. It'll be dangerous." Marius approached me, his O expression a little agitated

"There will be people to protect me. Theo will also be coming with me. It'll be fine."

"How can Theo take this for granted? Will he definitely be able to protect you? He shouldn't let you go even if there's only one percent danger!" Marius seemed to have lost control.

It was my first time seeing him like this.

I stepped forward and patted him on

the shoulder. "We just don't think we should avoid it. If we don't go tomorrow and avoid it, Sylvester will only come up with something else later on." en

"That's a future matter. You'll be safe as long as we take him down in advance, but tomorrow is a hopeless situation. He's definitely ready for you to throw yourself into his net."

Marius' certainty and persuasion made me waver. He grabbed my shoulders. "Don't go, okay?"

I looked into his expectant gaze and chose to agree in the end.

"Alright. I promise you I won't go tomorrow."

A smile finally appeared on Marius' face when he heard that. "That's good, then."
