Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Cindy Clarke Has a Son
“If it was just an ordinary trust-fund baby, I wouldn’t even give them a glance,” Wendy said with a high standard. “It’s rare to find someone of such high quality in Ella Doone’s social circle. This time, I’m quite interested in developing something with him.”
“But his family is already well-off in Belfard, and he has seen a lot during his time studying abroad. His outlook is not ordinary,” Wendy continued, “It seems like he might be interested in me, but who knows if it’s just for a fling while he’s in Nork City.”
Wendy makes it clear that she’s not some naive little girl with unrealistic dreams.
Her experience means that she won’t fall for the usual tricks played on the less knowledgeable.
“Exactly,” Christy Xenos agreed, nodding her head, “These people can be pretty deceptive.”
Wendy went on, “Which is why I’m not being too pushy with him – I need to keep him interested. For now, we’re both still testing the waters.”
At this point, Christy no longer asked about Wendy’s image earlier.
It was all for the sake of that trust-fund baby from Belfard.
As long as it could lead to a serious relationship, or even marriage, it was okay to “accidentally” let him see a bit of herself, like she just had.
Keeping his interest required some initial investment, after all!
Wendy didn’t want to say any more.
Talking to Christy was pointless.
She had only done it to appease Christy.
As for getting advice, Wendy would never seek it from her.
Even if Christy had any advice, Wendy wouldn’t listen anyway.
What good ideas could someone so sheltered like Christy come up with?
Now that Christy was no longer dwelling on the issue from earlier, it was enough.
“Mom, why did you rush in here so urgently? What happened that surprised you so much?” Wendy asked again.
Christy had been so focused on Wendy earlier that she had almost forgotten her reason for coming in.
“Right! There is something really important!” Christy remembered and quickly handed Wendy the tablet she had been looking at earlier.
“It’s about Cindy Clarke – she has a son!” Christy exclaimed in shock.
This indeed was big news.
It was all because of Mr. Lopez’s lie that Wendy had suffered so much.
From the start, Mr. Lopez was actually attracted to Wendy.
It was Wendy who convinced him to take Cindy as a substitute.
“Can’t believe it, Mr. Lopez still couldn’t get enough of you! If you hadn’t been involved back then, you wouldn’t have to hide it so painstakingly now. You wouldn’t have this hidden history, always worrying that it would be exposed and discovered,” Christy lamented heartbrokenly.
Her heart ached terribly.
That Mr. Lopez was really despicable!
He didn’t even look at his own appearance in the mirror before daring to covet Wendy!
He actually took advantage of both sisters – there was no such good fortune!
“And that Cindy!” Christy angrily said, “She dared to lie!”
“She was clearly touched by Mr. Lopez before! If she hadn’t run away back then, we wouldn’t have had to find someone to confront Mr. Lopez, and we wouldn’t have been deceived!”
“It’s all Cindy’s fault!” Christy angrily said, “Since it already happened, why did she run?”
“Ever since she was a child, she’s been nothing but a burden to our family, like an unlucky star. Ever since we had her, our family has never had good luck,” Christy continued, seething with hatred.
Seeing this attitude, if it weren’t for Cindy’s usefulness, Christy would hate to sever their mother-daughter relationship.
“It was such a rare opportunity for her to contribute something to our family, and she ran away!” Christy said bitterly. “She not only ran away, but also implicated you!”
“That’s why I always say, anything associated with her spells trouble!” Christy fumed.
“Look at how bad our family was when she was at home! Five years ago, she ran away; it was a dishonorable thing she did. But it must be said, life has been better for us in these five years without her. Our restaurant has been more and more successful too.”
“So I say, she’s a plague!” Christy truly believed her statement.
Moreover, she felt that the facts had proven everything so far.
Wendy felt both suffocated and disgusted.
She even felt completely filthy all over and wanted to take a shower.
Wendy truly hated Cindy bitterly.
Just as Christy said, if Cindy hadn’t run away back then,
Mr. Lopez wouldn’t have had the opportunity to lie.
