Stanley’s lips curled into a slight simile. Wendy could handle herself just fine–she didn’t need to rely on any man. She was the embodiment of wealth and power herself.
He extended his hand toward her. “Nice to meet you officially, Jolin.”
Wendy shook his hand gracefully. “Likewise.”
As they shook hands under the dazzling lights, Jessica stood watching, her teeth grinding in fury. Right now, Wendy was the center of attention. Stanley and everyone else were gathered around her, while Jessica was left in the background, ignored like she didn’t even exist.
Why was it that whenever Wendy appeared, she always became the backdrop, the supporting role?
It had been three years. She had become the daughter of the richest man, but still, nothing had changed.
Jessica hated Wendy to her guts.
As the Zenith Gala came to an end, Stanley turned to Wendy “Where are you staying? Can I give you a ride home?” Stanley wanted to talk to her.
Wendy politely declined. “I have a driver. You don’t have to drive me.”
She then glanced at Jessica, a hint of suggestion in her voice. “Your fiancée is here. You should stay with her.” Stanley furrowed his brows. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain his relationship with Jessica–but before he could say anything, a phone rang and interrupted him.
Wendy took out her phone and saw it was Samuel calling.
“I need to take this call,” she said, walking off with the phone in hand.
Stanley saw the caller ID, noticing Samuel’s name. He stared in the direction Wendy had walked off in, wondering if she had been with Samuel all these years.
Wendy found a quiet spot and answered the call. “Hello, Samuel.”
“Hey. Where are you right now?” Samuel’s voice was warm and familiar.
“I’m at the Zenith Gala.”
“Okay. I’m bringing Bella to see you right now.”
Wendy tightened her grip on the phone, a bit surprised. “Bella? You brought her to the Capital?”
“Yeah. She really missed you, so I decided to bring her here without telling you first.”
Wendy stayed silent for a moment. She didn’t want Bella coming to the Capital, and now she had plenty of reasons to suspect Samuel had planned this.
Just then, Bella’s little voice came through the phone. “Mommy…”
Hearing her daughter’s sweet, innocent voice made Wendy smile ever so softly. “Hey, Bella.”
“Mommy, Daddy Sam and I came to the Capital to find you. Are you mad at me?”
Wendy’s voice softened. “Of course not. I’m so happy you’re here. I missed you so much.”

“You’re not mad? That’s good! Daddy Sam and I are coming to find you now!”
“Okay, sweetie. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Wendy sent Samuel the address, and soon he would be bringing Bella to meet her.
Meanwhile, her assistant approached her. “Ms. Jolin, is Ms. Bella coming soon?”

Wendy nodded. “Yes. I’m heading back to my room now. Have Bella come straight to my room when she arrives.”
The assistant nodded. “Got it.”
Stanley was still at the party, waiting for Wendy to return. But no matter how long he waited, she didn’t come back.
He knew she wasn’t coming back.
With a frustrated sigh, Stanley stood up, ready to leave. He was going to find Wendy.
But just then, Jessica appeared and blocked his path. “Where are you going? Are you going to find Wendy?” Stanley looked at her, a little impatient. “Since you already know, why are you asking?”
Jessica blocked his way, her voice sharp with frustration. “I won’t let you go find her! She came back to try to seduce you. She wants to steal you away from me.”
