Chapter 98: Lie to Yourself.
“Hello, Wendy.”
While she was in the bathroom, Wendy called Daisy.
It was a little noisy at Daisy’s place. Wendy frowned and asked, “Where are you?”
“I… I…” Daisy stuttered for a long time and couldn’t utter a complete sentence. Wendy immediately understood and her face was grim. “Daisy, can you be….? You…”
Before Wendy could finish her words, Daisy hung up the phone. Wendy looked at her phone and was very angry.
This stupid girl!
Wendy took a day off and took a taxi to Daisy’s former office. She had rarely come to such a place since she was a child. She didn’t even remember the last time she had come.
The room was dim, and the atmosphere here was a little disgusting.
As soon as she caught sight of Daisy, who was surrounded by men, she rushed over without thinking and pulled her over. “Come out with me!”
Daisy shook off her hand and said, “What are you doing? I’m working!”
Wendy usually wasn’t angry at Daisy. That day was the first and the last time.
“Daisy Steed, wake up!” After that, she ignored her resistance and dragged her away from this place.
There weren’t many pedestrians on the road, and the sky was gloomy as if it was going to rain.
“Daisy, have you no dignity? Look at yourself now.”
She had heavy makeup on her face, was wearing a tight suit, and had bright-colored wigs. There was loneliness that she should not have in her eyes at her age.
“Wendy Walters, do you think you’re superior?” Daisy’s expression changed and she looked straight at Wendy.
Wendy’s heart tightened and she asked, “What are you talking about?”
“Do you fucking think that I humiliated you? Are you trying to be friends with a bitch like me?” Daisy said angrily.
Wendy found it hard to believe. She asked, “Daisy, is that how you think of me?”
“What else do you want me to think of you?” Daisy said, “Yes, my family is not as rich as yours, and I’m not as capable as you to climb into Rex’s bed and become Mrs. Gavyn overnight. I earned money with my ability. What’s wrong with that? Do you need to poke your nose into other people’s business?”
For an instant, Wendy felt as if she was standing in an icehouse, her heart chilled to the extreme.
“Daisy, we have been friends for so many years, is that how you treat me?” Wendy asked with tears in her eyes.
Daisy sniffled and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “You can leave now.”
“If you want money, I’ll give it to you.” Wendy approached her, but Daisy dodged unexpectedly.
“I’m sorry, I am not qualified to be your friend.” After that, she turned around and left.
Wendy stood rooted to the ground in a daze. After a long while, she exhaled and said, “Daisy, why did you say that?”
In a low mood, Wendy walked all the way home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Rex sitting at the table with a cold face.
In the outside world, you were to be bullied, and you would have to continue to be bullied when you returned home.
She didn’t want to provoke him anymore. She sat down at the dining table obediently and said honestly, “I asked for leave to visit Daisy.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“You’re still in contact with her?” Rex asked, looking shocked.
Wendy scooped up a spoonful of soup, put it in her bowl, tasted it, and then put it down.
“We’ve been classmates for so many years. I know very well what kind of person she is.”
“If you knew, you could have lost your child because of her. Do you think a woman working in a bar would be any better?” Rex said with a cold face.
Wendy frowned and looked up. “Are you investigating her?”
“I did it for your safety.”
Wendy sneered and said, “I think you did it for yourself good. Sorry, I’m full. I’ll go upstairs first.”
“Who allows you to leave?! Get back here!” Rex clenched his fists tightly, and anger could be seen in his eyes.
Wendy hesitated for a few seconds before sitting back down. “Don’t think that I don’t know that you sent someone to follow me. I just don’t want to reveal it, but it’s your fault to send someone to follow my friend.”
“If even you can’t see through my intentions, there’s no need for me to explain,” Rex said with a grim look.
There seemed to be another world hidden in Rex’s eyes. Wendy suddenly realized that from the day they were together, she seemed to have been unable to see through this man’s eyes. He had never explained much about what he had done.
She didn’t like guessing people’s hearts, nor was she used to scheming against each other. However, ever since she had married Rex, she had to think over everything he had said several times before she dared to make a decision.
“Rex Gavyn, has anyone told you that you’re very scary?”
This question was something that Wendy had secretly asked from the bottom of her heart. She knew that there would never be an answer if she did not ask something.
One cold war after another consumed too much of her enthusiasm. She was not sure if she could bear that cruel fact.
Perhaps self-deception was always better than knowing the truth.
She would rather live in the dream, even if she woke up one day. She would not be Snow White, nor would she meet the destined prince. She was not Cinderella, and the noon bell did not affect her.
As long as she wanted to, she was capable of escaping the prison cell. Merely, she knew very well that.
She had long entrusted her heart to this man. Perhaps she would not choose to leave until she had been completely heartbroken.
“Finish your meal,” Rex said in a commanding tone.
Wendy came back to her senses and glanced at Rex before nodding obediently. She didn’t resist at all since it didn’t matter what she ate.
She was alive for only one purpose, which was to protect her child and not let anyone hurt him.
“If you think it’s okay, I will let Daisy come to the Glory Group to work.”
Wendy suddenly stopped eating and asked in disbelief, “Really?”
“But the precondition is that she must start from the most basics. We, the Glory Group, do not recruit any trash, and even more so, we do not recruit people with malicious intents.”
Malicious intents? I think you do have the worst intents.”
Wendy criticized him in her heart.
“Come and try it out for a month first. If she passes after a month, I can keep her here.”
Wendy put down her fork and asked, “Which department are you arranging for her?”
“You think her ability can get to which department, it’s naturally the logistics department.”
“The logistics department?” Wendy frowned. “No, the logistics department is famous for deliberately making things difficult for people. I can’t let her go there.”
“Wendy, remember this. I’m the one calling the shots here. It’s not up to you to interrupt.”
