The Woman From Hell

Chapter 16
At this time, the sky was already bright. Many of the villagers came over to see what happened. I dared not go down and hid in
the car. Fortunately, Theo’s car arrived shortly after. Before the car even came to a stop, he jumped off and walked over to my
car with just a few steps. The cold aura exuded from his tall figure made people standing around feel invisible pressure. The
surrounding villagers immediately became quiet and just stared at him with fear. Theo ignored them and opened my car door. He
looked at me coldly before asking, “What happened?” “I... I ran over a Tibetan Mastiff by accident. I need to pay for it, and they
want me to pay in cash.” I lowered my head and spoke very timidly. The expression on his face was cold, and his eyes were
darkened. He stared at me in disbelief for a long time before he closed the car door and went to negotiate with the man. He
should be furious, right? I had caused him to come to such a remote place this early in the morning only to deal with such a trivial
matter. Watching his receding tall and refined figure and turning around to look at the villagers standing around, I felt the entire
scene was out of place. Theo, the beautiful art of heaven should not appear in such a lowly place. I could not help myself but
worry. Theo would surely settle this score with me. Soon, he gave the money to the villager, and the crowd around him
dispersed. He walked over again and looked at me coldly. His gaze was deep and dark, and it was impossible to read his
emotions at all. He said nonchalantly, “Get out of the car.” I obediently got out of the car and followed behind him. He turned to
the driver standing far away and said, “Drive this car back.” Then, he opened his car door and got into the driver’s seat. Without
any instructions from Theo, I did not dare get into the car. I just stood there with my head lowered. “Do you need any personal
invitation?” His voice sounded impatient. I quickly opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. In the car, I could feel a
sensation of coldness rising from my feet, and I glanced over from the side. He was releasing an icy cold air with a gloomy
expression and anger in his eyes. I clasped my hands together and waited for him to lash out in anger. He did not say a word
until the car pulled into the villa. He completely ignored me. After some thought, I explained, “I thought you were still sleeping
after drinking so much. That is why I called Doctor Mason. Do not misunderstand, I am not in a relationship with him.” Even
though I knew he would not want to hear my explanation, and he probably would not care, I still spoke up. He stopped the car
and turned to look at me with narrowed eyes. After a long period, he said in a deep voice filled with contempt, “Misunderstand?
Do not think so highly of yourself. Who do you think you are? Who do you think Mason is? Why would he even like you?” His
words were sarcastic, and his face was full of mockery. I was so embarrassed that I could not say anything for a long time. It was
indeed my overthinking. How could Theo possibly misunderstand? Not to mention, Mason was one of his good friends.
Considering their relationship, Mason would not even consider me a friend. To Theo and his friends, I was as lowly as weeds
under their feet. If it was not for Grandmother’s affection toward me, I would not have any right to look them in the eyes. Seeing
that I was silent, Theo glanced at me and said indifferently, “Do you admit your mistake?” “I was wrong. I am sorry,” I said quickly.
“What are you sorry for?” he asked. “I should not have driven out in the middle of the night,” I said honestly. “Wanda... You are
really...” He suddenly raised his voice and glared at me as if he wanted to eat me whole. I did not know what I had said to offend
him again. I was so scared that I was trembling all over and curled myself into a ball. “Forget about it. You do not work today. You

are being punished for doing something wrong. Your punishment is to clear weeds in the garden with your bare hands.” He
glared at me again and turned his head to ignore me. His punishment was really... odd. Although I knew that he would not let me
off easily for driving far away early in the morning, I did not expect him to give such a childish punishment. “You are not willing?”
After a while, when he saw that I did not say anything, he turned around and squinted at me.
