The Woman From Hell

I did not expect Sylvester to have come up with so many plans every step of the way.

Before I could say anything, Sylvester continued, "When I learned that Wanda had no intention of returning to the Yards, I planned to let her go. Since she wouldn't be coming back, she would be of no threat to me. So, I temporarily canceled the plan to harm you." Sylvester looked at me with eyes containing so many things that it gave me goosebumps.

"I didn't show up again. I wanted to rely on Nibel to defeat you so that Yard Group could also shine in the light a bit, but I didn't expect him to fail. You truly are worthy of your reputation as a business legend, President Grant." Sylvester was smiling when he said this. He seemed to really admire Theo.

"Wanda doesn't want to come back to the family, but Silas didn't give up on leaving the properties to her. That's why your murderous intentions have risen again," Theo said slowly. No one could tell the slightest nervousness from him.

Sylvester nodded. "That's right. I saw what Silas wrote the night before he went abroad. He found out and we fought. He was already at risk for heart attacks. He got too agitated that day and died of a sudden heart attack. It had nothing to do with me. But I did throw away his medicine when he could have still been saved. That's all." He smiled after he said that.

At this moment, I saw an image of him that was even more terrifying than Silas.

My heart constricted. "You watched him die in front of you. How could you admit this so calmly?"

Even if I hated Silas, I would not be able to be so indifferent when I see him suffer.

Sylvester suddenly laughed as if he had gone mad. When his laughter died, he glared at us viciously. "He deserved to die. He deserved to die a long time ago. I left him alone for far too long. He should have died the day he bullied Rooney!" "W-what..."

Rooney's beautiful face flashed before my mind, and a chill rose up the soles of my feet. Even my fingertips felt cold. "Could it be that Silas had also..."

"That's right, that damned old man. He dared to shamelessly say that he was impulsive when I caught him. I should've known. I should've realized the first day brought Rooney here and how he had looked at her with such a lecherous gaze! I realized it too late. He had actually taken advantage of Rooney's drunken state to bully her. Can you

understand the kind of emotions I felt when I got home only to witness this mess of a scene? I wanted to tear him apart into a thousand pieces, but I couldn't. He still had his use, and I had to keep him. I did not dare tell Rooney about it. I just hid her from that old thing. Silas' death doesn't expiate him of his crimes!"

I was shocked by this.

How could Silas...

I did not know what emotions to feel facing such a truth. I closed my eyes. It was unbearable.

He was dead.

"If Silas died before going abroad, how did he still appear overseas?" Theo asked.

"I got someone to wear his clothes and deliberately got the media toz take photos to create the illusion that he had gone abroad. With some touches here and there, his death is now an accident."

"So, you didn't want me wandering around Yard Mansion before because you were afraid that I would discover this letter in advance?"

Sylvester nodded. "That's right.

discovered in the future as long as you're dead."

"You wanted to carry out the plan to kill Wanda at the funeral, but Rooney found out about it. Isn't that right?" Theo was still calm.
