The Woman From Hell

I called him a few more times, but Theo never answered.

Could he be so busy that he had no way of answering the phone?

I could not just sit and wait without hearing anything from him.

I wanted to go to the company to look for Theo, but just when I moved my feet, I recalled Samuel's agreement. I already left him, so how could I appear now?

My eyes slowly reddened, and I was nervous. As I was pacing, I had a flash of inspiration. I could still call Marius and ask him to help me pay a visit to Grant Corporation. "Yes, I can call him."

Grabbing my phone as if it were a hot potato, I almost dropped it. I took in a deep breath and called Marius. He practically answered within a second, "Sis Wan." "Marius, can I ask you for a favor? Can you "

Marius had guessed what I was going to say and cut me off before I could even finish. "I know. I'm en route to Grant Corporation now. I'll let you know when I learn something." "Alright, thank you."

My heart felt heavy after I ended the call. Now, I could only wait to hear from Marius. I could not do anything.

Coming out of the room, Petra immediately came up to me when she saw the state I was in. "How did you end up like this from just a call? Just what in the world happened?"

Even though Petra had pulled me over to take a seat on the sofa, it took me a while to come back to my senses. I looked at her and Grayson who were looking at me worriedly. Regardless, I should tell them about Neil.

Thinking this, I slowly opened my mouth and revealed, "Theo does indeed have a younger brother from another mother. His name is Neil Hendersohn. I met him back then when I was living at Susan's apartment..." I told Petra and Grayson about Neil, and they merely let out a sigh when they heard it all.

"The paparazzi are, as always, the kind to expose things first regardless of the truth. If I were Theo, I would also find it hard to accept him."

He was the son of a mistress, after all. She even used such sloppy means. Even if one were to claim that it was not right to implicate the child for the wrongs of their parents, it would still be hard for them to accept.

"It sounds like Neil really cares about e Theo as his brother. Why doesn't he step forward to clarify the situation, then?" Grayson's question shocked

me.

It was like I had awoken from a dream. I grabbed my phone and hurriedly ran out. "Mom, Dad, please look after the children. I'm going out for a bit."

I invited Neil to meet at a rather secret cafe. He did not seem surprised to hear from me.

"Why don't you give a clarifying statement?" I went straight to the point immediately. Time was of the essence. If I could, I would not waste it.

Neil took a sip of coffee calmly before he leaned back against his chair. "Clarify what?" he asked calmly.

"The reason why Theo won't acknowledge you. You can at least save the situation a little with this."

Looking at Neil this time, something felt off, but I could not tell what.

He suddenly laughed. "I have no intentions of helping him."

"Why not? He's your brother."

"But does he treat me like one?" he asked back, and that stunned me. A mocking smile made its way on his face, andit stung my eyes. "I used to humbly want to reconcile with him, but he didn't want to accept it. So, why should I feel any sense of brotherhood?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

When Neil said things like this, his kind and harmless visage from back then had also changed now.

For a moment, I was at a loss for words and did not know how to respond.

I pursed my lips and waited for a while before saying, "You're the one who arranged the paparazzo who took that sneak shot, huh?"
