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 . ”
