Chapter 231 Wendy's Rejection

"You …"Albert's words astonished Wendy so much that she couldn't speak. She stared at Albert's large figure before her as her heart roiled. He …Did he know what he was saying?As if he'd heard her thoughts, Albert answered."I know what I'm saying, and I'm very clear about what I'm doing. Wendy, I like you. Can you not leave?"Wendy's heart raced. She instinctively took a step backward, seemingly wanting to run away.Albert liked her? Did he really like her?How was that possible? How could Albert Johnson actually like her?Wendy patted her face lightly and inhaled deeply. She walked past Albert as she mumbled to herself."I must be seeing things. Really, is there a need to be so happy about quitting that I'm hallucinating? Wendy, stop daydreaming. How could you have such an unrealistic dream …"Before she could take two steps, someone grabbed her slender wrist.Caught unawares, Wendy fell into that person's warm embrace.Losing her balance, Wendy's forehead knocked int

Chapter 232 I Have Someone I Like

Wendy looked up at Albert, meeting his gaze directly."I have someone I like," she repeated, her tone solemn.All the words Albert wanted to say disappeared when he heard this, and he became unable to say a thing. He kept silent, he put away his intentions to try and endear himself to her and regained an air of coldness.He became even colder than the breeze that blew in from the river."Really?" Albert finally squeezed out bitterly.Wendy's complexion was deathly pale as she said, "Yes!" Her teeth were gritted, and it had been very difficult to get the words out. Yet, she forced a smile. "Why would I lie to you? There's no need for such a thing in this situation, is there? Logically speaking, most women would want to date you, Mr. Johnson. If I didn't already have someone I like, why would I reject your confession?"Albert was the eldest son of the richest man in Riverwood and the heir to the MRC Group. Oh, wait. He was actually the person currently in charge of the MRC Group.

Chapter 233 You and Albert

For a moment, Wendy felt like she had something stuck in her throat. She tried to swallow it down, but it hurt. Still, she couldn't cough it out.So, when Albert had said that she liked her, did he do it while allowing another woman to sit in his car's front passenger seat?Wendy's chest hurt sharply, but she didn't want to argue with Albert any further. Faking calm, she looked away and held back her anger."It's getting late, Albert. I should be getting back. I've thought through my resignation very seriously, so I hope that you can approve it as soon as possible." After saying that, Wendy turned and left without looking at Albert.Wendy had misjudged.Albert didn't expect Wendy to react this way. Things had definitely gotten better just now, but now the situation between them had become tense again."A reason." In an instant, Albert's emotions overwhelmed him. "If you want to resign, you must at least give me a reason."He grabbed Wendy almost instinctively, shoving aside all

Chapter 234 Just Albert's Sister

"You … H-he's your older brother?" Wendy was frozen in place as her brain stopped working. She didn't react for a long while.So … she had misunderstood Albert? Was Rebecca really just Albert's sister?Looking at Rebecca in her purple dress, Wendy was even more speechless. Seeing the way Wendy was reacting, Rebecca could guess what she was thinking. She couldn't help but smile. But she didn't go overboard and expose Wendy for her thoughts. She only spoke gently to pull Wendy back to earth."Wendy, you should go wash up first. Breakfast has been prepared downstairs. Once you're done, we can all have breakfast. Can we go shopping later? I just got back to Rookfort and Albert's always so busy. He said he gave you some time off, so you can go with me."Bringing Wendy home last night, Rebecca had gotten some information from Albert as they traveled. Although she still didn't understand why Wendy insisted on quitting, she was sure that her clueless brother couldn't see Wendy's feelin

Chapter 235 An Interesting Breakfast

It was lucky that Wendy had worked with Albert for so many years and met some famous people herself. Though there was a storm in her heart, her feelings didn't show on her face.Wendy smiled warmly and said good morning to the three men at the table. Then, she took a seat before the plate of pancakes that Rebecca had indicated.There was another man at the table that Wendy didn't recognize, but she was sure that he must be someone impressive too. Looking at his resemblance with Ethan, she guessed that he was another relative of the Johnson family.Wendy didn't ask about it. She picked up a fork and knife and started eating. Honestly, she didn't have the time to ask about it either.When she took her first bite of the pancakes, its delicious taste filled her mouth. The pancakes had been cooked just right, and the different toppings made the eating experience that much more enjoyable. She added more maple syrup and kept eating.Enjoying her pancakes, Wendy felt like her body was f

Chapter 236 It Should've Been That Way

Her face turned pale at once. The rosy hue that had graced her cheeks after a night's rest and a hot bowl of soup in the morning had vanished completely.She didn't want to answer Nelson's call.Taking a deep breath, Wendy gritted her teeth and decisively hung up."Wendy, what's wrong?" Rebecca, who was in the driver's seat, noticed Wendy's sudden change in demeanor. She couldn't help but voice her concern.Wendy shook her head and fastened her seatbelt. She tried to maintain a calm appearance. "It's nothing. Let's get going. It's not good to keep the little one waiting.""Alright."Rebecca didn't press further.Everyone had their hidden secrets, even she did. Wendy wasn't obligated to reveal anything, especially to someone she had only met briefly. They were practically strangers."Wendy, if there's anything on your mind, you can tell me. I might not be able to solve it myself, but I can talk to Albert. We'll find a solution together. Keeping problems bottled up inside o

Chapter 237 He Knew Everything

No matter how many times he tried to call Rebecca or send her text messages, it was as if they all fell on deaf ears. Clearly, she had no intention of responding to him.The joy that had welled up from that answered call was slowly fading. All that was left behind was a sense of bitterness and helplessness.Ryan couldn't be bothered with Daniel. He rolled his eyes at him."Is it my fault that Becca hasn't blocked me? It's your problem. You insist on treating Jessica like a treasure. Who else can you blame?" Daniel remained silent. He looked down and fiddled with the plane ticket. Soon, his phone rang and disrupted his thoughts. He glanced at it and declined the call.Ryan caught sight of the contact name on the screen and couldn't help but sneer."You're not going to answer? Your precious Jessica is lying in the hospital in critical condition. This time, it's different from the suicide attempt at the police station. The pictures of the car accident are pretty gruesome. If

Chapter 238 Pleased

Karen sounded like a criminal on trial. Her words struck Daniel's heart.It turned out that accidentally discovering he was deceived wasn't as devastating as hearing the person who deceived him admit their mistakes.It was so absurd.Looking back, he felt like his life was a joke.He had been nothing more than Rachel’s puppet since he was born until he had the ability to resist. She made him do whatever she wanted, and her word was law.Then, he became a fool manipulated by a woman.Not wanting to hear another word from Karen, Daniel hung up the phone."Ryan."After a moment of silence, Daniel finally spoke again."Do you think Rebecca will forgive me?"He had been so terrible to her. He ignored her and left her alone abroad for three years.Besides, his grandfather treated her with indifference during his rebellious years.No wonder she didn't want anything to do with him and had been planning to divorce him for a long time.Ryan looked at his friend and pursed his lips

Chapter 239 Go With the Flow

Knowing that this young lady was the girl her son liked, Zelda already regarded Wendy as a prospective daughter-in-law in her heart. She couldn't help wanting to get to know her better. So she stepped closer to Wendy.However, Wendy felt uneasy under her direct yet kind gaze."Madam Zelda, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for me to stay for lunch. Besides, Ms. Johnson mentioned that we were going out together. And has to pick up a friend from the airport in the afternoon. It might not leave us with enough time.""Oh my! Where are you going on such a hot day?"Zelda complained, "It's scorching outside, and you girls have delicate skin. What if you get sunburned? Let's go to the mall. Aren't shopping malls the same everywhere in the country? Even abroad, they're pretty much alike. It's not like she's never been shopping before."Why don't you stay here and pick some fruits in my garden instead? You two can keep me and this little one company.”She gestured at the small bag in O

Chapter 240 What's the Rush?

"No, Wendy and Oliver get along very well. She hasn't mentioned anything else."Rebecca turned to look at them and silenced her suspicions."Besides, why would she ask about Ollie when she hasn't even agreed to marry you yet? I was just curious. Assuming you succeed in pursuing her, what will you do if Ollie's biological mother shows up? It's just a casual question."Albert chuckled. "What's there to worry about? That woman gave birth to Ollie but didn't raise him. Do you think I'll hand Ollie over to her if she shows up? Don't overthink it."In fact, Rebecca wanted to ask, "What if Wendy is Oliver's biological mother?"But she decided to keep that thought to herself. Her speculations might not be accurate.Voicing them could only lead to mutual suspicion between Albert and Wendy. It wouldn't be helpful.She decided to keep all her confusion to herself. With a forced smile, she said, "Alright, Albert. You can continue working. I'll go pick fruits with Ollie and the rest. I h
