Chapter 331
The Woman From Hell
Once was enough for what I said earlier. There was no way I would be able to say it again.
I did not know if he listened to what I said. My mind was getting chaotic. I leaned on the back of the
sofa with my eyes closed. I quickly fell asleep.
When I woke up, I saw that Matthew was busy cooking in the kitchen. I let out a soft sigh. It looked
like what I said yesterday was in vain.
After breakfast, Matthew offered to bring me to take a look at Magnificent Pictures Television.
I thought for a moment and said, "I'd like to start working."
My body had no health issues now, and I was ready to go back to work. I did not want to be alone at
home. I would not be imagining things if I was busy.
Matthew did not oppose. He brought me to Magnificent Pictures Television.
As I had seemingly appeared out of nowhere and became the new president, coupled with the fact I
was a woman, the employees of the company were all shocked. Matthew sent his assistant to work
under m e. Firstly, it was because he was afraid I might get bullied. Secondly, he wanted me to
familiarize myself
with the company's operations.
The scale of Magnificent Pictures Television was a few times larger than Nectarine Entertainment. I
was s o busy that I was almost running off my feet. When I was able to get some rest, I realized that
it had been a few days since I thought of those negative things.
When I got off work today, the assistant drove me to the condominium. I was handed a gift box.
"President Lane, President Zimmer asked me to give you this."
I was startled for a moment, and I took it helplessly.
Matthew had been sending me gifts during this period. He would not give them to me personally.
Instead, he would give them to me through his assistant. When I was able to see him and wanted to
return the gifts, he would change the topic. It made m e feel helpless.
"President Lane, please donât feel burdened. After all, itâs a small token from President Zimmer.
Besides, the cost of these gifts isnât considered much for President Zimmer." I had gotten friendly
with the assistant these days, and he started teasing me.
I unfastened the seat belt and shot him a glance. "You sure know how to speak for him."
The assistant gave me a mischievous smile and did not say anything more.
When I was about to get out of the car, the phone in m y pocket vibrated. I took it out and saw it was
Jerome calling. I choked.
Ever since the incident, I had never contacted Cecilia and Jerome. I was afraid that I would not be
able to control my emotions. I was afraid that they would feel sad for me and worry about me.
Although I had no idea how Jerome found out about this phone number, after counting the days in
my mind, it was about time for Cecilia to give birth. Even i f Jerome had not called me, I would have
to call him anyway.
I took a deep breath and answered the call. "Jerome."
Jerome kept quiet for a long time before saying in a hoarse voice, "Wanda, Cecilia gave birth
around ten oâclock last night. The mother and daughter are safe."
"Thatâs good." There was a lump in my throat.
"Where are you?" Jeromeâs voice was choking up." How are you and your baby?"
My heart trembled, and I suppressed the urge to cry. I opened the car door and got out. "Let's not
talk about m e. Where are you and Cecilia?"
"Weâre in Salt City. Sheâs still sleeping now. Iâll let her talk to you when she's awake.â
"Alright." I held my phone tight. "I'm quite busy these days but I'll be free in a few days. I'll head to
Salt City t o see her and the baby."
Jerome chuckled. "Donât. Itâs better to wait until Cecilia can walk. Weâll bring the baby to Whaldorf
City to see you."
"Sounds like a plan." I did not oppose it.
