Jack’s throat tightened.After so long apart,that was the first thing she asked him.
In his memory,Wendy used to depend on him like a child.But at some point,she stopped relying on him.
When she was sick,she went to the hospital alone.She no longer called him.When creditors came,she quietly sold her jewelry to pay them.Even when she was wronged outside,she never complained when she came home.
Thinking of this,Jack felt a sudden pain in his chest.
When Jack didn’t answer,Wendy smiled as if she expected it.
“Forget it.I was naïve.”She stood up to pack her things.
Suddenly,Jack grabbed her wrist and said firmly,“I’ll handle your brother’s case.”
Jack gave in.But Wendy wasn’t happy as expected.She only said distantly,“Okay.Thank you.”
Jack frowned deeply.The old Wendy never said thank you.She truly had changed.
There were only two days left before the trial.After Jack sent her home last time,he never came back.
Every day,Jack said he was too busy with work.
But every day,Wendy saw Tiara’s posts online.Nine days in a row,a full grid of photos,all showing Jack’s love for Tiara.
During that time,Tiara kept sending Wendy provocative messages.
