Chapter 70


    I narrowed my eyes and shot him a cold nce before turning my head away, not wanting to pay him


    any attention.


    He was slightly taken aback when he saw me, but he soon started jeering at me.” Wow, Mrs. Grant


    sure did take her own sweet timeing into work this morning.”


    “I don’t think I’m under your area of jurisdiction, President Nichols. Whether Ie in for work or not is


    none of your business,” I replied faintly.


    Wanda Lane, I never knew you were like this! I thought you proimed that Cecilia Shane was like


    family to you? How can you stille to work when your family’s locked up? How coldblooded of you.”


    Zedd sneered.


    I had been perfectly fine before he brought that up. The cheek of him to bring Cecilia up! I was burning


    with rage, and I furiously red at him. “I never knew how lowly and despicable President


    w how lowly and despicable President Nichols could be so as to please Ms. Reed. How loyal!”


    Zedd’s face contorted. As he was about to Speak, I interrupted him. “God sees all. You’d better pray


    that your ns are wless because one day, you might have to pay for all of the things you’ve done.”


    Also, please send a message to Ms. Reed for me. I’m still Mrs. Grant for now, so if she angers me too


    much, I might hold on tightly to iny current position, and she’ll have to be a shameful mistress for the


    rest of her life!


    You b*tch!” Zedd was furious. His face flushed red, and he was at a loss for words.


    “I’m ab*tch?! Shouldn’t President Nichols be thanking me? If Ms. Reed remains a mistress, President


    Nichols will have ample opportunity to be her knight in shining armor, right? All the best, President


    Nichols, I await your good news.”


    The elevator had arrived at my floor, so after giving him an encouraging gesture, I elegantly alighted


    the elevator.


    “Wanda Lane!!” I left Zeld behind. bellowing in the elevator.


    Heidi reported the progress to me as soon as I entered my office. Everything was going as smoothly as


    nned. Heidi, who was extremely capable, hadbed through everything and settled many of the


    problems that had arisen on her own.


    I was relieved to learn that things were going smoothly on our side of things. After giving Heidi a few


    pointers on what t o take note of. I told her she would only need to report to me again if something


    drastic happened.


    After Heidi left, I stared at my phone. I kept looking at it, but no updates from Theo popped up


    A foreboding feeling arose from the bottom of my heart. I could not hold it in any longer. I grabbed my


    bag and made a beeline to the police station.


    Cecilia was still locked up, so I of course could not meet up with her. I asked the policeman from


    yesterday for updates and got myself some extremely bad news – the victim had passed away from his


    injuriesst night


    The bad news shook me to the core. My only hope was now gone. I stumbled and nearly fell over,


    unable to bnce myself.


    How did things get to this stage? Cecilia had said that the victim had not sustained major injuries and


    had still been able to walk and talk!


    No, something was not right. I got up slowly and thought things through carefully. ording to Cecilia,


    the victim had been unharmed, butter, he had been found unconscious on the ground by a passerby


    who called the police.


    Had he been run over a second time?


    That was the only usible exnation. There might be other clues at the crime scene.


    Once that idea came to me, I drove to the crime scene in an attempt to look for clues all around it.


    The crime scene was in a secluded ce, and it was a sharp curve that was very prone to idents.


    As I was just parking my car, Theo called me Where are you?” His voice was cold, and I could tell that


    he was unhappy.


    Miss Woods had probablye back to find me missing, so she must have called him. I replied hastily,


    “I’m in the office, there were some things that needed to be done. I’ll be back right away.”


    “Are you really at the office?” His voice suddenly got closer, as if he was right beside me


    A shadow stood right outside my car. I lifted my head to see Theo standing right outside my door,


    staring at me with a dangerous glint in his eyes. “Lying to me now, are we?!


    I rubbed my forehead and muttered guiltily, “I just got the news that the victim passed. I thought there


    was a possibility of a second ident since he had been so badly hurt, so I came here to look for some

    clues…”


    My voice grew softer the longer his deepening gaze bore into me, until itpletely trailed off. I did not


    dare speak anymore


    “Don’t you know you’re still sick? Get down, and get into my car.” His tone was icy. He turned back


    immediately towards his car.


    I was terrified, but I followed him back to his car anyway. I asked cautiously, “What about my car…”
