Stanley wasn''t sure if Wendy would actually show up.
The Crone family wasn''t sure, either.
Everyone was waiting for Wendy.
Then, a Rolls-Royce pulled up, its doors opening with smooth precision. A graceful and poised figure stepped out.
Wendy had arrived.
Zayn''s eyes lit up. "Mr. Hawk, Ms. Wendy''s here! She really camel"
Stanley looked up, his gazending on Wendy.
Edith hurried forward. "Wendy, you finally made it. You''re almostte."
Wendy smiled, her lips curling into a yful grin. "I''m not ate. There''s still a minute left until the time. Do you all really have no patience to wait?"
Edith was momentarily speechless.
Jessica quickly spoke up. "Enough of the talk! Where''s the fake Dr. Cen?"
Jessica nced around, but Wendy hade alone. She hadn''t brought anyone with her.
scheduled
"Wendy, you didn''t bring the guy?" Jessica scoffed. "I knew it! You don''t have the ability to bring him here. You''ve just been lying all along!"
She grabbed Edith''s arm. "Grandma, did you see? She didn''t bring him! I told you, how could a housewife like her possibly have the means to bring us the fake Dr. Cen?"
Wendy looked at Jessica with amusement. "Do you want me to bring you the fake Dr. Cen or not? I find you so contradictory. Are you sure you''re not suffering from split personalities?"
Jessica was left speechless. Wendy hadpletely uncovered her hidden thoughts.
It was true-Jessica was a walking contradiction.
On one hand, she wanted Wendy to bring the fake Dr. Cen because she didn''t want her life as a pampered rich girl to end.
On the other hand, she didn''t believe Wendy could actually pull it off and didn''t want Wendy to be better than her.
Edith shot Jessica a disapproving look. “You should keep quiet. Not being able to catch the fake Dr. Cen isn''t going to do any of us any good."
Jessica mped her mouth shut, feeling wronged.
Trish stepped forward. "The scheduled time is here. Where is he?"
Lilian chimed in, "You should hand him over now. If you can''t, you''re nothing but a
liar. We won''t let this go, because you''ve wasted our precious time."
Wendy smiled faintly, her red lips curving upward. She then pped her hands together.
With the sharp sound of her apuse, a ck van sped toward them. Two men in ck suits quely got out and dragged someone forward.
The person''s head was covered with a sack, obscuring their face.
Edith gasped. "Is this the fake Dr. Cen?!
Wendy nodded confidently. "Yes. Pay attention."
She reached forward and removed the sack from the person''s head, revealing their face.
It was indeed the fake Dr. Cen.
Everyone stood frozen in shock. Wendy had actually brought him, right on time! Jessica and Lilian''s eyes widened in disbelief. "It really is "
Trish, seeing the fake Dr. Cen, couldn''t contain her emotions. He had tricked her, taking her most precious asset-her purity-and her money. She had lost both her wealth and dignity.
She stormed forward, fists flying as she pounded the fake Dr. Cen with all her strength. "You liar! You''re a fraud! Give us our money back! Now!"
The man''s face was swollen and bruised, clearly beaten by Wendy''s people. He didn''t look at Trish but instead trembled as he gazed at Wendy.
"Y-You''re a monster! You''re terrifying!"
Jessica stared at him, confused. "What are you talking about? Why are you afraid of Wendy? She''s just a useless housewife. What''s there to be afraid of?"
