Semua Bab Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride: Bab 451 - Bab 460

"I don't agree with you using yourself as bait!" I said firmly. "Richard is a personal trainer at the gym, he’s very muscular. If it comes to blows, he could take down several men with his bare hands. You can't handle him.""Sweetie, you just said he could take down several men barehanded. Even with you there, my safety wouldn't be guaranteed. Let's not risk another person getting hurt," Wendy replied."No, no, no!" What on earth was she saying? What did she mean by 'getting hurt'? Wendy's words were so ominous that I hastily spat out, "Quick, say you won't get hurt!""My little darling is getting cuter by the day!" Wendy pinched my cheek.I urged her to say something more auspicious. Under pressure, she repeated my words."Better now?" she asked.I nodded, feeling relieved.A mist seemed to form in Wendy's eyes, but when I looked closer, it had vanished.Fearing Richard might do something desperate, I stuck to Wendy like glue.When we got out of the car, I scanned the surro

I felt a bit frustrated as I turned on the computer. Staring at the screen, I suddenly couldn't remember what I was supposed to do next.I took out the peppermint oil I had prepared and applied it to my temples. The cool sensation helped me calm down a little. I found my to-do list and struggled to get into work mode.At lunchtime, I made a point of calling Wendy.On the other end, Wendy was driving, with the GPS giving directions towards the outskirts of the city.Wendy's workplace was in the city center. Remembering her conversation with Mrs. Marshall yesterday, my heart skipped a beat, and I asked nervously, "Did Mrs. Marshall contact you?""Sweetie, don't be like a startled bird, afraid of every little movement," Wendy said, turning off the GPS. "I'm heading to a resort in the suburbs for work.""Are you meeting a client?""The recent news about the Universe Tech founder's backstabbing has been spreading like wildfire online. There's been a lot of negative press, and their s

"Look at me, getting all sentimental seeing such accomplished young people like you. I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable."Luke remained silent, briefly checking his phone before putting it away.In the private room were only Henry and his assistant. Henry kindly said to Brian and me, "Please, have a seat. We're all friends here, no need to stand on ceremony.""Thank you, Mr. Smith," Brian and I said in unison. After getting Luke's approval with a glance, we sat down.Henry looked at me, "You seem familiar. Have we met before?""A few times," I replied. I had encountered Henry a couple of times when out with Wendy, but she wasn't close to her father and never introduced us."For someone so young to be Mr. Walker's assistant, you must be quite capable. My daughter is about your age, and she's very talented too! She's my pride and joy," Henry said, his eyes full of admiration. "Unfortunately, my daughter doesn't like being tied down, always preferring to carve her own path. She'

The surveillance footage showed his face contorted with rage, his eyes filled with vicious intent, sending chills down one's spine.Mrs. Marshall, watching the video with Wendy, looked at the "stranger" on screen with horror.Richard's brutality made me want to hand him over to the police immediately."The human heart is unfathomable," Wendy said, kicking Richard's shoulder lightly. "You can keep trying to defend yourself.""I..." With irrefutable evidence, even if Richard stubbornly denied it, he couldn't change what he'd done. He mumbled, "But you're fine, aren't you?"I was speechless.He showed not a hint of remorse. How could someone be so shameless?Wendy laughed bitterly at his words. "If something had happened to me, you wouldn't be here right now.""This is a society governed by law. Since there was no loss of life and you weren't injured, even if you call the police, they can't do much to me.""You should be grateful we live in a lawful society.""If you let me go t

"Even if Janet didn't follow her advice and contacted friends back home without permission, she still couldn't stand by and do nothing.""Sweetie, do you really think what Richard did was Candice’s idea?" Wendy asked softly.Standing next to her, I couldn't hear clearly. "What did you say?"“Candice has done so many shady things. If she dares to mess with me, I'll expose her," Wendy yawned. "Now that this is resolved, you can go home and rest easy tonight.""Didn't you sleep well last night?""After listening to you talk in your sleep half the night, how could I sleep well?"My heart tightened. I had indeed talked in my sleep. "What did I say?""It was broken and unclear. But I understand one thing: my little sweetie has grown up and has her own secrets now.""Wendy..." Unable to explain, I tried to change the subject by acting coy."I get it. I won't ask or mention it," Wendy said affectionately. She took out a card from her bag and handed it to a nearby man who had been help
