Chapter 448
The Woman From Hell
I never received a reply to that text message. I started t o worry. It seemed that I had to make a trip
to France soon. Otherwise, my year might not end well.
The incident in the hospital had made Theo swarmed with work. Even though the media had rushed
to report the matter and he knew that I would surely hear of it, he chose to remain silent with me.
Maybe h e thought that I would be helpless if he told me about i t.
That acknowledgment made me feel a little lost...
"Madam," Miss Zuri came up behind me and said softly, "A lady came to visit you."
I frowned and turned around. "Cindy?"
Miss Zuri shook her head.
Who else would it be?
I pursed my lips and said, "Let her in."
When Quinn came in, I felt somewhat surprised as this was the first time she had ever come here.
Besides, Theo and I knew nothing about her visit.
"Wanda, Theo's not at home?" Quinn asked.
I stood up from the couch and replied faintly, "Heâs quite busy recently and spends little time at
home. If
you want to meet President Grant, I'm afraid you'll have to find him at Grant Corporation."
Quinn frowned a little. "Wanda, I'm here to look for you. Are you still angry at me for what happened
the last time?"
I looked down and smiled. "You're overthinking, Quinn. Iâm not that petty. Besides, I understand
where you were coming from when I put myself in your shoes."
Quinn took my hand and sighed. "Wanda, I really hope you can understand and stop being mad at
me. Back when you told me you fought with Theo, you looked like you would never forgive him
again. I was worried that you both would never have another child.
"I must consider the issue regarding our family's heir since I'm a part of the Grant family. Cindy
came looking for me and insisted that the baby inside her was Theoâs. She even expressed how
much she loves him. I couldn't possibly ignore it."
Quinn looked like a gentle woman at this moment, and she even spoke in a soft voice. Her words
worked on me. I sighed and said helplessly, "Quinn, weâre family and there's nothing that's
unforgivable between us. Besides, I've long stopped being angry at you.â
"That's good." Quinn smiled in relief.
I poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her. I smiled while asking, "Did you come here today to
talk about
this?"
Quinn leaned back on the couch and let out a long sigh of relief. Only then did I realize that she
looked exhausted. She had gotten a lot thinner than the last time I saw her. Her skin was no longer
as delicate either.
"Wanda, there's a favor I need to ask from you." Quinn began talking about her purpose for coming
here." You know that the Zimmer household only has a small number of people to begin with, but
weâre down by two now. Matthew and I are the only people who are left to deal with the funeral
matters. On top of that, we can't leave the office, so that's why I hope you can give me a hand."
I was taken aback but said, "There's nothing I wouldn't do to help my cousin."
I wanted to help Matthew. Quinn's position in the Grant family was too insignificant. She must have
encountered a lot of difficulties while handling Marcus and Nancy's funerals. Matthew had not even
recovered from the pain of losing his parents yet he already had to busy himself to arrange for their
funerals. The thought of it was heart-wrenching.
Quinn smiled and nodded. "Then you should move to the Zimmer household and stay with me for
convenience sake. Just take it as though you're keeping me company. Iâm alone in that huge house
now and I feel very lonely.â
Looking at her expectant eyes, there was no way that I could reject her.
Just as I opened my mouth and wanted to agree, she hurriedly said, "You don't have to worry about
Theo. I'll talk to him. Besides, he's been so busy lately and has no time to take care of you. Iâll take
care of you well there. He can be less worried."
I hesitated for a long while before nodding.
It looked like there were no major issues, but I still felt that something was off. As for what was
wrong, I had n o idea.
