The Woman From Hell

Chapter 822 As soon as I answered the call, Cassey spoke anxiously on the other side, "Wanda, I found the box you toldto find. Well, I didn't find it. I just asked her and she gave it to me. I'll post it to you later." Afraid that I would wake Munchkin up, I got up and went out of the bedroom.

I leaned on the railing and said softly, "Thank you." She clicked her tongue. "Why are you thanking me? You're treatinglike a stranger." I smiled. "I have to thank you when I need to." With nothing left to say, we were supposed to hang up but Cassey did not look like she intended to hang up. I guessed she had something else to say to me.

Sure enough, she hesitated and said, "I've thought about it and figured that I should tell you something." I nodded. "Go ahead." After a few seconds of silence, she said, "Theo and Matthew fought at the wedding banquet. Caleb toldthat Matthew had said something to Theo, which made him angry. That's why he started the fight." I recalled that after I changed my clothes and went downstairs, Theo started acting a little strangely and was constantly drinking. It turned out that Matthew had said something unpleasant to him while I was upstairs changing.

Seeing that I had not said anything, Cassey asked," Are you still there, Wanda?" "I'm here." Now that I had learned about this, I thought it was not necessary to discuss it more with Cassey. I asked," Where do you and Caleb plan to go for your honeymoon?" Cassey chuckled. "We've discussed it and plan to go to the Maldives." "It's a nice place to have your honeymoon." When I heard movements coming from Munchkin's bedroom, I hastily said, "Be careful when you're there.

I think Munchkin's awake. Let's talk sother time." "Okay." After hanging up the phone, I walked into Munchkin's bedroom.

He sat on the bed and was reaching for the cup on the bedside table. I quickly ran over. "I'll get it for you." After feeding him water, I touched his forehead. "Do you still feel unwell anywhere?" Munchkin lifted both of his arms. "I don't have energy in my body." "It's normal when you've caught a cold." I kissed his forehead. "You'll be running around in no twhen you recover." Munchkin looked up atwith dazzling eyes. "Can I have a burger when I recover?" "Sure." I dotingly touched his nose. "You can have whatever you want when you recover." His eyes grew brighter as he requested more. "What about toys? Can I have whatever I want?" I looked powerless. "You caught a cold because you play too much. Quickly lie down and sleep a while more." "I don't want to sleep anymore, Mommy." Munchkin pouted. "I'm wide awake now." I raised my eyebrows. "What do you want to do, then?" "Can I get out of bed?" Munchkin asked carefully.

I nodded with a smile. "Sure you can." He was over the moon and lifted the covers, moving his body to get out of bed.

Although he no longer had a fever, he was still unwell and did not have energy. Afraid that he would fall, I held his hand tightly.

After going downstairs, Munchkin nestled on the sofa watching TV while I accompanied him.

However, I was not interested in watching children's shows, so I started daydreaming after a few minutes.

I was thinking about the things Matthew could have said to Theo. What could he possibly have said to make the usually calm Theo angry? After watching TV for almost an hour, Munchkin started getting sleepy again.

I was about to carry him back to the bedroom when Liz called me.

I answered the phone and her crisp voice was heard." Are you free to cout now, Wanda? Can we talk?" She sounded quite anxious to discuss something with me. Looking at the drowsy Munchkin on the sofa, I sighed helplessly. "I'm sorry, Liz. I can't go out right now." "I'll talk to you on the phone then." Liz sounded even more anxious now.

"Theo bought several of Zimmer Corporations' shares from the shareholders and gathered the media to suppress Matthew on the grounds that he's destroying a marriage. The remaining shareholders are very unhappy with him. If this goes on, Zimmer Corporations may have to undergo a change in ownership. Can I know why Theo is driving Matthew to the edge?" If it was really like what she said, Zimmer Corporations and Matthew were not doing so well.

I sighed softly and said, "Why don't you ask Matthew what he said to Theo during Cassey and Caleb's wedding?"

On the other end of the call, Liz fell silent for a very long tbefore saying, "Wanda, Grant Corporation started from scratch in Salt City, so when it expanded to Whaldorf City, it already had a solid financial foundation. No matter how much loss is incurred, Theo is able to afford it. But it's a different story for Zimmer Corporations. When Matthew took over Zimmer Corporations, the entire industry was already hanging by a thread. Although there has been pretty good progress in recent years, it's hard for it to stand this vicious blow from Theo this time." After a pause, she continued, "I hope you can beg him to put an end to this for me. He loves you so much and will definitely agree if you beg him." I pursed my lips, feeling a little displeased inside. I held back my emotions and asked, "Did Matthew ask you to say that to me?" "Are you mad?" She returned with another question, seemingly quite emotional too.

I hummed. "A little." Liz sighed. "Wanda, Matthew is my fiance and my child's father. I have to help him, and I need to beg you to help him. I'll take on your anger." Her words seemed logical, but it was logical only fro her perspective, i I pursed my lips and said, "There must be a reason why Theo is suddenly lashing out, Liz. You can ask

Matthew why. I have no comments about you helping Matthew, but you must know that Theo is my husband I nowar Theo too. Right now, he needs to vent out his anger. If I beg him to let Matthew go, who will take care of his feelings?"

After a pause, I continued, "Whether it's Matthew or Zimmer Corporations, I'll not interfere anymore. If you truly treatas a friend, then stop using E our friendship to guiltinto doing something. Besides, it's really inappropriate for us women to interfere in men's battles." I hung up straight away after saying that.

I looked at Munchkin on the sofa. He had already fallen asleep.

I picked him up and brought him back to the bedroom.

Too many things had happened lately, which putin no mood to study. Fortunately, there was still a long period of tbefore the test so I had plenty of tto readjust myself.
