Chapter 660: Chapter 660: The Clarke Family Has Your Back
“You won’t reveal your true colors to Adrian Zhekova. In front of him, you’re still the frail, delicate little girl! Otherwise, even if I don’t benefit, you’ll be finished in the Zhekova Family!” Wendy Clarke steadied herself.
With this line of thought, she regained her confidence.
If Adrian Zhekova were to hear, she would undoubtedly be in trouble.
But Cindy Clarke would be in even more trouble.
So, Cindy wouldn’t discuss this matter in front of Adrian Zhekova.
Once Wendy processed this, she was no longer afraid.
“Why not I find an opportunity for us to meet, and you can expose my real identity in front of Adrian Zhekova?” Cindy chuckled coldly.
“Do you think I dare not?” Wendy took a deep breath, realizing that she couldn’t let Cindy lead her by the nose and dictate the pace.
“Cindy, don’t change the subject!” Wendy said coldly, “What, are you trying to dodge the topic now because you’re scared?”
“Actually, you have nothing to fear.” Wendy softened her voice again.
But this deliberately gentle voice made one’s skin crawl and seem as if she harbored ill intentions.
Not to mention how Cindy would perceive it, it would be even more obvious.
“We are all family, I still have parents, and naturally hope to see you doing well. We could never harm you.” Wendy said gently.
“As for Adrian Zhekova and the Zhekova Family, we’ll help keep it a secret. As your family, we wish for your well-being. We don’t want you to be cast aside by the Zhekova Family after all the effort you put into marrying there. The fact that you bore Mr. Lopez a son, I won’t talk about it recklessly either.”
“After all, you must have gone through great hardship to marry into the Zhekova Family.” Wendy said, while also testing Cindy to find out how she accomplished it.
Cindy raised an eyebrow and said, “Actually, I didn’t struggle much. It was Adrian Zhekova who wanted to marry me. I guess it might have been because I bore him a son.”
“Cindy, that’s not fun. I’ve been honest and open with you, and yet you still don’t tell the truth.” Wendy replied unhappily, “You don’t have to talk about your relationship with Adrian Zhekova. But you have to admit that the son is yours and Mr. Lopez’s, right?”
“Or are you afraid to admit it?” Wendy added, “Are you worried that if you admit it, others will know? But it’s just the two of us on the call right now, and no one else can hear, so why don’t you admit it? Or are you afraid I will record our conversation?”
“Cindy, you’re really underestimating me! What do you take me for? I said earlier that no matter how much we quarrel or have conflicts in our family, in the end, we stand united when facing outsiders. Whatever issues you have, I will certainly help you.”
Cindy smirked coldly with evident sarcasm on her face, but verbally responded, “And after helping me? Why are you helping me so much? Don’t talk about us being family. From my perspective, you never do good things without a reason. You plotted against me before for 10 million. Now you’re helping me, what benefits do you want to gain?”
“Cindy, your words are really hurtful. We’re family, and we should help each other. Don’t always think that when people help you, they are trying to gain some benefit from you. Besides, since you’ve married into the Zhekova Family, our family and the Zhekova family are now related by marriage. We can help each other in business and cooperate.”
Cindy chuckled knowingly: “So all your talk boils down to your desire to gain benefits from the Zhekova Family through me?”
“Cindy, you can’t talk like that!” Wendy immediately objected, “No matter how you managed to marry into the Zhekova Family, just marrying in doesn’t mean you’ve succeeded and can completely relax. For a woman in her husband’s family, especially in a large family like the Zhekova’s, only her parents’ family is her strongest support.”
“They need their parents’ family to back them up in any situation. But as you know, our family and the Zhekova Family are worlds apart. If something were to happen and the Zhekova family causes difficulties for you, even if our family wants to help, we may not be able to do much. How could we support you then?”
“Therefore, while you can still have a say in the Zhekova Family, help our family advance. Once something happens, our family could also stand up for you. Let the Zhekova Family know that you didn’t marry into their family alone. With the Clarke Family backing you up, they won’t be able to bully you.”
Wendy’s fair words were nothing more than asking Cindy to use the Zhekova’s power to boost the Clarke Family’s status.
This was the same as ancient times when a monarch was willing to support a nobody, and that nobody became powerful overnight.
