Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 70

I narrowed my eyes and shot him a cold glance before turning my head away, not wanting to pay him any attention.

He was slightly taken aback when he saw me, but he soon started jeering at me. "Wow, Mrs. Grant sure did take her own sweet time coming into work this morning."

"I don't think I'm under your area of jurisdiction, President Nichols. Whether I come in for work or not i s none of your business,” I replied faintly.

"Wanda Lane, I never knew you were like this! I thought you proclaimed that Cecilia Shane was like family to you? How can you still come to work when your family's locked up? How coldblooded of you." Zedd sneered.

I had been perfectly fine before he brought that up. The cheek of him to bring Cecilia up! I was burning with rage, and I furiously glared at him. "I never knew how lowly and despicable President Nichols could be s o as to please Ms. Reed. How loyal!”

Zedd’s face contorted. As he was about to speak, I interrupted him. "God sees all. You'd better pray that your plans are flawless because one day, you might have to pay for all of the things you've done."

"Also, please send a message to Ms. Reed for me. I'm still Mrs. Grant for now, so if she angers me too much, I might hold on tightly to my current position, and she’ll have to be a shameful mistress for the rest of her life!"

"You b*tch!" Zedd was furious. His face flushed red, and he was at a loss for words.

"I'm a b*tch?! Shouldn't President Nichols be thanking me? If Ms. Reed remains a mistress, President Nichols will have ample opportunity to become her knight in shining armor, right? All the best, President Nichols, I await your good news."

The elevator had arrived at my floor, so after giving him an encouraging gesture, I elegantly alighted the elevator.

"Wanda Lane!!" I left Zedd behind, bellowing in the elevator.

Heidi reported the progress to me as soon as I entered my office. Everything was going as smoothly as planned. Heidi, who was extremely capable, had combed through everything and settled many of the problems that had arisen on her own.

I was relieved to learn that things were going smoothly on our side of things. After giving Heidi a few pointers on what to take note of, I told her she would only need to report to me again if something drastic happened.

After Heidi left, I stared at my phone. I kept looking at i t, but no updates from Theo popped up.

A foreboding feeling arose from the bottom of my heart. I could not hold it in any longer. I grabbed my bag and made a beeline to the police station.
