Chapter 584
The Woman From Hell
He suspected that Petra and Grayson were the ones behind this incident.
Theo sighed. "Let's talk in the study, Carlson. We should give Wanda some time to be alone."
Carlson nodded and walked to the side of the bed to tuck in the covers for me. "My child, we'll be
here no matter what happens. Have a good rest."
He left with a sigh when there was no response from me.
I really wanted to sleep because I did not have to think about anything if I fell asleep. However, I
could not fall asleep at all because the scene of me waking up in the hotel would fill my mind as
soon as I closed my eyes.
I did not know the car owner whom I rear-ended. His face and voice were all unfamiliar to me, which
meant that we had no dealings with each other before. Why would he do such a thing to me?
It was very likely that someone had instructed him to do it, so who was the person who instructed
him?
My head hurt the more I thought about it, and my hands could not help but pull at my hair.
When Theo came back and saw what I was doing, he quickly hugged me tightly. "Can you not hurt
yourself
like that, Wanda?"
"I don't know that man." I grabbed Theo's arms tightly and looked up at him. "It was a Rolls-Royce
Phantom with Whaldorf City's license plate. I don't remember the license plate number, but you can
check the dashcam."
Theo nodded. "I've sent someone to investigate it, so weâll soon have an answer."
I let go of his arms and hugged my knees. My tears could not help but flow down again.
Theo was just about to comfort me when the phone in his pocket rang again.
It was a call from his assistant Keith. As soon as he answered the call, Keith quickly said, "I found it,
Mr. Grant. The car belongs to Matthew. After he passed away, the car was parked in the Grantsâ
garage. It was only driven out from the garage a few days ago."
"Who's in charge of these cars?" Theo asked in a cold voice. 1
Keith replied after a few seconds, "Your cousin, Quinn."
The air was suddenly condensed into ice. Theo's body was exuding a cold aura. "Did you find out
who that man is?"
"He's Quinn's assistant. His name is Stan Carey."
Theo fell silent.
Keith carefully asked, "Is there anything I should do next, Mr. Grant?"
Theo squeezed his eyes shut for a moment. "Find Stan and make him pay the price no matter
what."
He ended the call. Theo and I looked at each other for a very long time without saying a word. We
felt extremely conflicted because neither of us expected the investigation to point at Quinn.
Did Quinn do it?
If she did it, why would she do that?
There was no dispute of interest between us, let alone a grudge that called for such a revengeful
act.
Theo stroked my face. "Donât overthink this. Have some rest and leave this to me."
He was about to go out when I quickly grabbed onto him. "Don't leave me alone, Theo."
I was not in the right state to be by myself at the moment and I knew this very well.
Theo had probably thought of this as well. "Letâs go together."
On New Year's Eve, families were supposed to gather and spend time together, but Theo and I
arrived at an abandoned factory instead.
There were two bodyguards outside the factory gate. When Theo and I got out of the car, they
nodded at us and greeted, "Mr. and Mrs. Grant."
Theo nodded and pulled me into the factory. The farther we walked into the factory, the colder the
aura on his body was.
When I saw the man again, I could not help but tremble. Theo took me in his arms. "I'm here. Don't
be afraid."
