The Woman From Hell

Chapter 17

Chapter 17 “No, I will do it.” I gritted my teeth as I got out of the car. I hurried over to the large patch of grass in

front of the villa. The villa was huge. The grass area alone was about 300 square meters. It would

usually take two or three workers to clear out the weeds, but now he wanted me to do it alone with my

bare hands. I knew he was trying to torment me. After all, I was in the wrong. After pausing for a while,

I squatted down and started working. Theo sat in the car and did not get down. He stared at me as I

worked. There was no emotion on his gloomy face. After a long while, he floored the accelerator and

drove off, leaving a trail of exhaust gas behind. Watching him leave, I stood up and let out a long sigh

ground. My belly crashed onto the stairs as I rolled down, sending waves of pain through me. The rain

hit me mercilessly in the face. I rubbed my belly and struggled to pull myself up to head inside. As soon

as I took a step, my belly started to hurt as if pierced with needles. Beads of cold sweat trickled down
