Chapter 38
Wendy gritted her teeth in frustration. If she condid control Zach, she wouldn’t have let hinchase after Serena like this.
She dropped her usual pritle demeanor, stepping forward with an air of dominance, closing the distance with each step. “Let me give you some advice. Zach may not know, but i
the mistress of the Larson family isn’t easy. You’d better wise up and behave. Maybe you’ll end up with some extra retirement money!
“Hut, if you keep trying to seduce Zach, I’ll tell his wife about you being his mistress! What do you think she’ll do when she finds out her husband is secretly keeping someone
Wendy’s eyes glinted with dice. The Larson family would never touch Hugh, the notorious playboy They would make sure the legitimate “Mrs. Larson would crush Serena, the
wife is? You
Sermasuddenly lanched. “Do you even know who his wife is? You really think you can thresten me with that?”
Wendy didn’t know Hugh’s wide at all. But seeing the way Serena looked at her with disdain, Wendy couldn’t bring herself to admit that she didn’t know her. She knew the Larson family’s roles–they only accepted women who were either refined daughters from prestigious families, or graceful and capable figures in acaderiii. Someone whose beauty and intellect would surpass that of ordinary women.
Otherwise, the Larson family wouldn’t just let anyone marry High.

Thinking of this, Wendy couldn’t help but sprak with a smug smile, “Of course I’ve met her! Mrs. Larson is far more elegant and composed than you. A mistress like you isn’t even close to her level!”
Serenaburst out laughing, wiping a tear from her eye. “You’re truly a rare genius.”
Wendy felt strangely unsettled hearing her laugh, and she clenched her fists in anger. “What’s so funny?!
Serena Laughed even harder. “Seeing a clown making a fool of herself, how could not laugh? It’s just too ridiculous!”
Serena’s eyes welled up with tears from laughing so hard
Hugh’s wife was standing right in front of Wendy, and she hadn’t even noticed. It was laughable.
As Serena continued to laugh at her, Wendy’s face flushed and an overwhelming sense of shanse crept over her. Her les made her uneasy, and she couldn’t keep her eyes steady
As she pondered how to turn the situation around, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind her.
She thought it was Zach. In a flash of inspiration, Wendy began to cry pitifully right in front of Serena, putting on an act.
“Serena, just do this for my sake and talk things through with Zach. He can’t sleep at night because he’s thinking of you. Just help him get some rest, come with me and meet him.. As long as you’re there, he’ll be able to rest easy..”
She spoke with soch sincerity that Serena almost felt moved. If she hadn’t seen her face change in an instant, she might have believed Wendy’s performance.
Eunfortunately, her villa wasn’t a stape.
Serena couldn’t even be bothered to think about who Wendy was acting for, and with a mocking smile, she replied, “How much is your dignity worth? If I hadn’t supported you. back then, you’d probably still be a country bumplin
“After supporting you for many years, you can’t even show me some gratitude. Instead, you’re trying to blackmail me? You should be scared, because if no one else knew, I could foss you back to that countryside as dog food, and no one would care.”
Serena looked down at Wendy coldly, her eyes devoid of any emotion.
Wendy trope Serena had never said such curl things before. However, now she found herself actually enjoying what Serena had said…
As Wendy heard the footsteps approaching, she burst into loud, dramatic sobs. “I was wrong. I know I was wrong! I always knew you didn’t like me, that you wanted to throw me back to the countryside.”
She choked on her words. “It’s my fault I deserve to have starved to death back there..
She was gasping for breath, each sob more desperate than the last
Serena was ready to slam the door right in her face, but Zach attived even laster, pulling the sobbing Wendy into his arms.
He looked at Serena with confusion and said, “Rena, what are you saying?Wendy’s health is already poor What if you upset her further and something happens to her?” Smetasteeted, “It she’s that fragile, she should stay home and rest. If she dies from her condition, it’s not my problem. Why would she come here?!
