Ch. 151..155: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 151-155
Chapter 151: Try to Let Her Give up
When Hunter sent Matriarch Jackson back to the room, Vincent and Wendy were there.
Wendy was still sitting in the chair. She did not move because of her ankle injury.
As for Vincent, although he agreed to take care of Wendy, he didn't say a word to her at all.
Even Wendy took the initiative to chat with him several times, Vincent ignore her.
Seeing Wendy's embarrassed smile, Matriarch Jackson knew that Vincent might embarrass her.
After the two men left, Matriarch Jackson asked the maid to go out. Then she took Wendy's hand.
"Wendy, don't mind. That's what the both guys are."
"No, I think they're very good. They are very attractive like this."
Wendy bit her lips and grabbed her fingers. She always looked shy.
Matriarch Jackson felt a little uneasy when she saw Wendy like this.
After hesitating for a long time, Matriarch Jackson asked, "Wendy, you... Do you like Hunter?"
"Hunter..." Wendy thought for a moment and her face turned pale.
"No! Matriarch Jackson, don't get me wrong. I'm not going to fight with Emily. I will absolutely not do it!"
She seemed so frightened that she began to tremble.
If it wasn't for her feet injury, she even wanted to get down from the chair and kneel down for Matriarch Jackson.
"Matriarch Jackson, I really won't fight with Emily. I won't, Matriarch Jackson. Don't punish me. Don't hit me, don't!"
"Wendy, what's wrong with you? How can I hit you?"
Thinking of something, Matriarch Jackson was suddenly angry, "They... Do they often hit you?"
"No. Emily didn't hit me. I bumped into her carelessly. How could Emily hit me?"
Wendy wanted to smile, but she failed. In the end, tears began to spill out of her eyes.
She got down from her chair and knelt down. Her tears were streaming.
"I'm sorry, Matriarch Jackson. I know I can't hide it from you. I really like Hunter. But I just like him quietly."
"Matriarch Jackson, don't be angry. Please dont tell Emily. I just like Hunter secretly."
She choked and could hardly speak. She grabbed the blanket on Matriarch Jackson and was sad and afraid.
"I will be satisfied as long as I can look at Hunter from a distance. I will not think
about the things about Hunter again. I will never think about..."
"You and Hunter... Have you ever been together in the past?"
Matriarch Jackson was quite shocked. Why didn't she hear about it?
"No. No, we really weren't together in the past, Matriarch Jackson. Please don't tell Emily. Please."
Although Wendy denied, she begged Matriarch Jackson not to tell Emily.
Could it be that Wendy and Hunter really were together before?
But she had forced Hunter and Emily to get engaged. Because of her mistake, she broke them up?
At this moment, Matriarch Jackson's heart was almost torn apart.
It hurt! Matriarch Jackson was so painful that she almost twitched.
What did she do? She destroyed her granddaughter's happiness in person!
"Wendy..."
"Matriarch Jackson, can you promise me? Please, please promise me. Don't tell Emily."
Wendy reached out to hold Matriarch Jackson's arm. Her sleeve slipped down, revealing a section of snow-white arm.
The arm, which was white and delicate, actually had several blue and purple blood stasis marks.
With sharp eyes, Matriarch Jackson seized her hand abruptly, "What is this?"
"No! Nothing. It's none of Emily's business. I accidentally hit it."
Wendy hurried to pull her sleeve back, as if she was afraid that Matriarch Jackson saw her arm bruises.
Was it Emily again? Could it be that the girl, who looked bright and lovely, was so vicious and cruel behind her back?
Matriarch Jackson didn't want to regard Emily as a bad girl. Not long ago, she even thought that Emily was her granddaughter.
After all, she once loved Emily very much. Even now Matriarch Jackson knew that
she identified the wrong person, she really had loved her.
It was hard to change her mind all at once.
"I accidentally hit it. It'll be fine soon."
Wendy forced a smile at Matriarch Jackson, as if she didn't want to mention it at
all.
She said, "Matriarch Jackson, don't worry. I will not be close to Hunter. I will certainly be far away from him and will not hinder them."
"Please believe me, okay?"
Matriarch Jackson looked at Wendy and could not help but think of Emily.
Although, Emily was not very good-looking, Matriarch Jackson had loved her so long. Because of this, she was unable to hate Emily at all.
Wendy might also be aware that her play seemed a little too much.
Matriarch Jackson had already identified Emily and recognized everything about Emily.
Now, relying on her current identity, it was not enough to overthrow all Matriarch Jackson's feelings about Emily.
It was not good to say too much.
Matriarch Jackson astringed her mind and supported Wendy with both hands. She
said softly, "I won't say anything. Wendy, you get up first."
When Wendy got up, she hurt her ankle again.
But she just gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Seeing that she was so strong, Matriarch Jackson pitied her again.
"Wendy, I've gotten along with Emily for a long time. I think... Emily is not a bad girl. Is there any misunderstanding between you two?"
Even seeing these bruises on Wendy's arm, Matriarch Jackson still didn't want to believe that it was Emily who caused it.
Wendy immediately said, "No, we get along well with each other. Emily has always been very good to me. It is true."
Matriarch Jackson looked at her. She was about to speak, but saying nothing.
Matriarch Jackson didn't want to hate Emily. However, Wendy's humble action made her feel sorry.
What should she do? Now, she couldn't let both of them go.
"It's a good thing that you don't get close to Hunter. No matter what happened
before, he's the fiancé of Emily now."
"I know." Wendy looked down to completely cover the hatred of her eyes at that
moment.
Matriarch Jackson still cared about that bitch, Emily. She even didn't want to believe that it was the bitch who beat her!
What's more, Matriarch Jackson even wanted her to give Hunter up on her own
initiative!
However, when Wendy looked up, she became gentle and clever and hid her resentment.
"As long as Hunter is happy, I will be happy too, Matriarch Jackson..."noveldrama
But her obedience made Matriarch Jackson feel worse.
She held Wendy's hand and said softly, "Wendy, you are so beautiful. In the
future, you will find your own happiness."
"You are Emily's sister. In the future, you will call me grandma just like Emily,
OK?"
"Grandma." Wendy called softly.
Matriarch Jackson's eyes were a bit foggy. She was afraid that she would lose her
manners in front of her granddaughter. She could only quickly turn her face away and wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
When she looked back, she was the quiet and indifferent Matriarch Jackson as
usual.
"You are a good child. God bless you. Don't worry. Grandma will protect you too."
Chapter 152: How Can There Be Such a Savage Man
Because of her foot injury, Wendy had lived in the Jackson's house for two days.
These two days, she had been living with Matriarch Jackson.
The women of the Jackson family were almost jealous.
They didn't know why the two sisters of the Gale family were so lucky that they were all favored by Matriarch Jackson.
It was OK for Emily to be favored. After all, she was Hunter's flancée. However, even Wendy was also favored by Matriarch Jackson. Why?
Was it because she was Emily's sister and Matriarch Jackson liked Emily so much that she also liked Wendy?
Matriarch Jackson had gotten along with Wendy in her room for two days and nights. What a hell!
The third day, Wendy could finally walk. Matriarch Jackson allowed her to leave.
It was a weekend. Wendy didn't need to go to school or rush in time.
She heard that Hunter was also here today. Wendy asked the driver to wait at the gate and she wandered in the yard.
It was not uncommon for her to let the driver send her back. What she wanted more was that she could meet Hunter in the yard and let him send her back in person. That would be great.
Unfortunately, from the back room to the main room, she didn't see Hunter all the
way.
Was Hunter in his own WongRiver Pavilion?
Staying with Matriarch Jackson these days, Wendy almost inquired everything out.
Hunter had an independent courtyard in the Jackson family, which was located in the east of the front yard.
After walking out of the hall, Wendy went to Wong River Pavilion in the East.
She didn't know where Hunter was, but maybe she could meet him by accident.
"Are you the favored outsider in our Jackson family recently?" Suddenly, a disdainful voice came.
Another girl sneered, "Since she is just an outsider, how can she be favored? However, all the people who come to our house are guests, and grandma is just entertaining them."
"But they think they are favored and stay here. Grandma is so kind. Can she drive them away?"
Wendy looked up and smiled.
She had also inquired the information of these women in Jackson family.
One of the two young ladies was Snowy, the sixth daughter of the Jackson family. Wendy did not recognize the other.
"Hello, Miss Snowy." Wendy walked slowly past.
Looking at the girl standing with Snowy, she smiled gently, "This... I don't know which Lady she is. Can you introduce?"
"I am Renee!" The girl's face sank.
There actually were people who didn't know her! That was too much!
"Hello. But... May I know you father's name? I'm sorry. I haven't heard my grandmother mention you."
"What?" Renee was so angry. The women from the Gale family were all bitches. How dared this woman be so arrogant in front of her!
Wendy blinked and was a little innocent, "Can't you understand my words?"
"You..." Renee did not expect that an outsider would dare to be so presumptuous in the Jackson family!
Although she was not a legitimate daughter of the Jackson family, her father was the son of Patriarch Jackson. She was also a Jackson!
"Am I wrong?"
Snowy suddenly reached out and slapped Wendy.
This slap was so sudden and a bit merciless.noveldrama
"You..." Wendy widened her eyes and almost fell to the ground.
She didn't expect that someone would be so unreasonable that she beat her inexplicably.
"Who allows you to call Matriarch Jackson grandmother? Are you trying to pass
off as the lady of the Jackson family?"
Snowy smiled and looked at Wendy coldly, "Do you want to be favored by grandma relying on your sister?"
"Let me tell you, I can kill you at any time if you dare to act wildly in our Jackson family."
Wendy did not expect that Snowy was so savage.
She had thought that, even if these rich and powerful women have bad temper,
they would hide it and be hypocritical for their own image.
However, there would be someone who beat people casually.
"Grandma asked me to call her like this!" She was unconvinced.
She had already got the favor of Matriarch Jackson. In the Jackson family, there were people who dared to bully her like this!
"If you beat me, I will tell grandmother. In the future, you will never have any position in grandma's heart!"
Wendy started a feud with this savage young lady!
Originally, Wendy intended to find some friends in the Jackson family to deal with
Emily.
But now it seemed that Snowy was not a good woman who she could work together!
Snowy narrowed her eyes and stared at Wendy's face which was full of unwillingness.
"How dare you threaten me! Renee, beat her. I'll be responsible if you kill her. *
"OK."
Hearing Snowy's words, Renee rushed to Wendy and knocked her down on the ground suddenly.
Wendy was completely shocked. How could there be such a savage person?
Her ankles was not completely healed, and she had to walk carefully now.
Hit by Renee, Wendy could not stand firm and directly fell to the ground.
After knocking Wendy down, Renee immediately raised her legs and kicked
Wendy.
"Stop it! Oh! Stop... Ah! It hurts! Stop it!"
For the first time in her life, Wendy was beaten so badly by a woman.
She tried to stand up. However, Renee kicked her so fiercely. she was painful to
bend and roll on the ground and could not stand up.
"Stop it! Ah! You... You're crazy. Stop..."
How could there be such a thing in the 21st century?
They really dared to beat people! How could they be so savage?
Wendy really regretted. She should not provoke this crazy Snowy.
"Stop it! Ah..."
"Stop it!" Suddenly, a man came quickly and pushed away Renee, who was still
kicking Wendy.
"You dare to touch me!" Renee was crazy now and did not care who the man was.
Anyway, there were many bodyguards in this family. She was not afraid of anyone!
"Just mind your own business!" Being pushed aside, Renee couldn't breathe smoothly and raised her hand to slap someone.
Evan clasped her wrist and held it hard.
Renee was so painful that she cried and screamed, "Let go! It hurt! It hurt! Let go!"
Evan's face sank and pushed Renee hard.
Renee stepped back several steps and managed to stand firm.
She looked up. The man was a little strange, but also seemed a little familiar. It
was as if she had seen him somewhere.
However, the man, who was walking behind Evan and was solemn, scared
Renee.
"Brother..."
When Snowy saw Evan, she was a little scared.
Evan, who was always as a shadow bodyguard of Hunter, basically followed
Hunter.
Ewan was here, then Hunter would also be there.
Sure enough, Hunter came here.
"Brother." Snowy, who was arrogant and despotic just now, suddenly became
clever and soft like a gentle lamb when she saw Hunter.
"What's going on?" Hunter's indifferent sight swept two people and fell on Wendy
finally.
Wendy fell to the ground. She didn't want to see Hunter in such an awkward way.
But now, she couldn't even get up in pain.
"Hunter," Wendy took a breath and said in a hoarse voice, "they beat me."
Chapter 153: He's the Most Powerful
"Hunter, she sassed me first." Snowy bit her lips and explained, "She ran riot in our house. Renee punished her on behalf of me."
"That's not the truth." Wendy burst into tears.
"Grandma told me that the driver was waiting for me. As I was to leave, I happened to meet them. After finding out that I stayed with grandma here for a few days, they got so angry that they beat me up."
As Hunter heard 'grandma', his face darkened.
Wendy had been observing his expression. Noticing the change in his looks, she explained.
"I'm sorry, Hunter. The matriarch asked me to call her grandma. I'm kind of getting used to it."
She bit her lips, looking pitiful. "I won't do address her that way in the future."
"Hunter, this bitch is acting!"
To Snowy's surprise, Wendy was so good at acting.
Wendy had been arrogant with them before Hunter arrived.
Wendy, an outsider, felt free to stay with grandma like a family member, which pissed Snowy off.
In front of Hunter, Wendy pretended to be a wronged victim!
Snowy got so furious that she wanted to kick her. “Hunter, she was very arrogant just now!"
"I'm just an outsider from an average family. How can I be arrogant in front of you?"
Wendy was staring at Hunter, rendered pitiful by her words and humble manner.
"Perhaps Snowy was angry about me addressing the matriarch as grandmother. I'm sorry. I won't do that again. Hunter, please forgive me."
After flicking her an indifferent glance, Hunter turned to look at Snowy.
Hunter's looks sent shivers down Snowy's spine. She was in panic.
“Hunter, I... I was just so pissed off. The matriarch isn't her grandma. How could Wendy address her in this way?"
"Do you often beat people like this?" Hunter suddenly asked.
Snowy lowered her voice and said, "No. I... I don't..."
"Last month, a maid committed suicide at home. Does that have anything to do with you?"
"Hunter, that maid committed suicide for no reason. It's none of my business."
After taking a step back, Snowy tried to stand up straight. "Hunter, didn't Dad tell you that it had nothing to do with me."
"Dad is indulgent. He allows you to do anything you want. You even don't repent for what you have done."
As Hunter waved, two bodyguards showed up, straightly walking towards Snowy.
"Bring her back and lock her in her room for a week. No one is allowed to free her."noveldrama
"Yes!"
"Hunter, are you going to punish me because of this woman?"
Snowy had never expected that Hunter would defend Wendy.
Although Hunter and she were not close, they were half-blooded. She was Hunter's biological sister!
"Hunter, are you out of your mind? Why do you and grandma both like her?"
"Why do you treat these two women from the Gale family so well? You both defend them! Hunter, I'm your sister. Hunter ..."
"Take her away!" Now that Snowy didn't leave on her own, Hunter asked others to frogmarch her back.
"Hunter ..."
Snowy was held by two bodyguards. She was Snowy, of noble birth. But neither of the bodyguards had pity for her.
They dragged Snowy back, intending to lock her up so that she could ponder about her misdeed.
Renee was in panic. Looking at Snowy being taken away, she was too frightened to say anything.
Snowy was Hunter's biological sister, but she ... she was just his cousin.
"Apologize!"
As expected, it was her turn to be punished after Snowy.
No sooner had Hunter spoken anything than Renee dropped to the ground with a thud.
"I... Hunter, I..."
"Apologize. Slap yourself across the face as many times as you kicked her."
Hunter was not patient. He would never repeat his words.
"Hunter ..." Renee called out sadly.
However, Hunter turned around, intending to leave.
If he left, she would be in a worse situation!
Renee did not want to take the risk, so she said loudly to Wendy, "Sorry, it was my fault. Please forgive me!"
She didn't remember how many times she had kicked Wendy, but she had no guts
to disobey Hunter.
Then she began slapping herself hard with both hands.
The sound was loud!
Wendy was shocked. She didn't expect that Renee, who was extremely arrogant, would apologize to her and slapped herself.
Wendy felt so happy.
After Renee slapped herself for a long time, Wendy said in a slow voice, "Stop."
Looking at Hunter, she whispered, "I forgive her. She was incited by Snowy. She
is not that bad."
Renee didn't even know how many slaps she had given herself.
How dignified she was. However, she was bullied to such an extent just because
she kicked Wendy a few times!
Tears sprang to Renee's eyes, but she didn't dare to cry out.
Hunter hated women crying the most. He got impatient with any woman crying in
front of him.
Renee didn't stop until Hunter made a gesture.
Looking pitifully at Hunter, she whispered, "Hunter, can I stop now?"
"Why ask me?" Hunter was expressionless, looking like a perfect sculpture.
Having taken a deep breath, Renee glared at Wendy.
Even if she had slapped herself just now, she didn't feel hard done by, but angry
at most.
But now, she felt shabbily treated since she was forced to ask permission from this bad woman who liked acting.
Tears sprang to her eyes. Renee gritted her teeth, checking her temper!
"Miss Gale, can I stop now?"
Renee's lips hurt very much.
Of course, Wendy was satisfied. But she revealed no smug look.
On the contrary, Wendy assumed an air of concern.
"Poor Renee. Why are you so hard on yourself?"
"I don't need your pity!" Renee clenched her fists.
If this bad woman was kind, she wouldn't have allowed Renee to slap herself for
so long before showing forgiveness.
Renee grinned in pain, but she had to ask again, "Miss Gale, can I stop now?"
"Sorry, I..." Wendy looked at Hunter.
The latter was as cold as usual, showing no emotion.
Wendy whispered, "I don't need you to apologize anymore. I'm fine."
Renee immediately stood up, directing her eyes at Hunter. "Hunter ..."
"Don't run riot with Snowy in the future." Hunter reproached.
"Got it." Renee immediately left with her head lowered.
She sobbed in a low voice.
Renee didn't have the guts to cry out before leaving the house.
In front of Hunter, she didn't dare to shed tears.
Wendy stared at Hunter with admiration.
She knew that Hunter was the most powerful in the entire world.
She must marry Hunter. Only in this way could she enjoy a superior social status
to others.
"Hunter." she bit her lower lip, looking fragile, "It's not a big deal. I...”
Out of her expectation, the man said coldly, "Then why don't you stand up?"
Chapter 154: It Could Not Be Wendy
Wendy felt wronged.
In the presence of his grandma, Hunter's voice, which was flat, carried a trace of tenderness.
But now, he spoke to her in such a cold tone.
It was unfair!
However, she did not dare to lose her temper now. At the very least, she had to
wait until Hunter fell in deep love with her.
Only then could she complain.
Looking up at Hunter, Wendy showed pain and grievances on her face.
"My
...
waist hurts. I'm sorry..."
She supported herself with the flower bed by her side, intending to stand up. But hardly did she succeed than she fell back.
Then she turned to look up at Hunter again, seeming so helpless that tears almost welled out of her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Hunter. I ... I can't stand up. Wait for a few more minutes."
Hunter glanced at Ewan, who immediately bent forward and said to Wendy, "Let me help you."
Wendy was disappointed. Didn't Hunter promise his grandma that he would take care of her in the future?
Now she was bullied. Hunter only punished the bullies, but didn't take care of her.
Was this the so-called "care"?
Wendy kept looking at Hunter, as if she didn't dare to do anything before receiving Hunter's order.
However, Hunter had already turned around, walking towards the WongRiver Pavilion.
How could he leave her alone?
"Miss Gale, let me help you up and take you back." Standing by her side, Ewan reached out towards her.
Wendy convinced herself that Hunter couldn't show care for her in public, since he had been engaged.
After all, the Jacksons were here.
Hunter asked his subordinate to take care of her, which, at least, showed that Hunter cared about her.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have grounded Snowy and forced her to reflect on her misdeed?
Besides, Renee was tortured so badly because of her.
Thinking about this, Wendy cheered up.
Placing her hand on Ewan's palm, she gently panted, "My waist ... hurts very much. Please be gentle."
"Alright." Ewan gently supported her and helped her up.
"Did you intend to go out? I'll take you to the garage."
"I... Lean't walk now. I..."
"Are you badly injured?" Ewan thought that girls were not as forceful as men, and
Renee shouldn't have caused Wendy
severely injured by simply kicking her.
But Wendy appeared to be seriously injured.
Wendy lowered her head to conceal her emotion. "I have been weak since childhood. I'm sorry.."
Ewan suggested, "Miss Gale, how about I taking you to the WongRiver Pavilion to visit the doctor."
"Not necessary. I'll just go take a rest. There's no need to visit the doctor."
She finally was allowed to visit the WongRiver Pavilion.
Wendy was filled with joy, feeling as if her dream was to come true.
As was known to all, Hunter's WongRiver Pavilion was not readily accessible.
Snowy and Renee were not allowed to go there no matter how hard they had tried.
But now, she was granted permission.
After returning to the WongRiver Pavilion, Hunter went straight into the study and never came out again.
Wendy was enjoying her time at leisure.
According to the matriarch, Hunter had promised his grandma that he would protect Wendy in the future.
It was acknowledged that with the admirer's backing, one did not fear anything.
After Snowy was grounded, Wendy thought that no one in this house would dare to bully her in the future.
As Wendy was in a pleasant mood, a slender figure appeared in the courtyard outside the hall.
What a coincidence! Wendy didn't expect to meet her here.
Noticing that Ewan had left, Wendy stood up.
Before Emily entered inside, Wendy stopped her outside the hall.
"Why are you here?" Emily had been staying at school over the past two days. She had no idea what happened to the
Jackson family.
Three days ago, Wendy came. Emily didn't expect that she was still here.
Strangely enough, Wendy wasn't at the matriarch's room, but in Hunter's WongRiver Pavilion.
Everyone was allowed in now?
"Hunter invited me. Why can't I be here?"
Wendy's lips pouted invitingly. She always tried to reveal her most beautiful side.
Even when she was facing Emily, the person that she hated the most.
Ignoring Wendy, Emily tried to bypass her and went inside.
Liam sent Emily over. Emily didn't know why Hunter invited her here.
Emily hadn't expected that she would run into Wendy. Apart from that, Emily felt nothing else strange.
In no way would Wendy let Emily inside easily. She stretched her arms and
stopped Emily.
"Hunter is working. Are you going to disturb him?"
"Hunter invited me here. Why can't I go to meet him?" Emily was expressionless.
"Emily, I don't mean to embarrass you. But you have to know what's going on here. Now that I'm here, you're not needed anymore."
Emily looked at Wendy. How could this woman always be so self-righteous?
"I'm afraid you are not in the place to decide whether I can come here or not."
When Emily was about to leave, Wendy stepped forward. As a result, they ran into each other.
Having been knocked to the ground, Wendy instantly shouted, "Emily, what are you doing?"
Emily felt disgusted with this kind of trick.
However, someone was so foolish that he cannot see it through!
Ewan happened to come out of the hall. On seeing Wendy falling on the ground,
he immediately rushed over.
"Miss Wendy, what's going on? Did you get hurt?"
To Emily's surprise, Hunter's subordinate addressed her Miss Wendy!
Emily frowned but didn't say anything.
Ewan helped Wendy up and looked at Emily with vigilance.
"Milady, Miss Wendy is Mr. Hunter's distinguished guest. Please be nice with her."
"What are you talking about?" Emily's face darkened.
Be nice with Wendy? What did he mean? Did Wendy succeed to deceive Ewan
with such a trick?
The best bodyguard of Hunter should feel shame on his poor judgement!
Ewan knew that his words would definitely make Emily unhappy.
However, he had to obey Hunter's order.
"Mr. Hunter views Miss Wendy as his sister. It would be disrespectful for Mr.
Hunter if you are not nice with Miss Wendy," he said in a flat voice.
Sister!
Wendy was shocked. This was not what she wanted!
She didn't want to be Hunter's sister. She wished to be his wife!noveldrama
The matriarch asked Hunter to protect her, which, Wendy thought, was far from
enough!
She had to get rid of Emily!
Otherwise, there would be endless troubles!
However, to Emily, Wendy's new identity hurt her like a blade.
This identity was bullshit. This was just a cover for their shameful relationship.
No relationship like this was platonic.
Emily was OK with Hunter having a romantic relationship with other woman, for
she knew Hunter would leave her in the future.
But it could not be Wendy.
In her previous life, Wendy killed Emily!
Wendy, absolutely not!
Chapter 155: If You Insist, I Won't Stop You
Emily ignored Ewan and Wendy, walking towards the hall.
"You can't disturb Hunter. He's really busy." Wendy wanted to stop her.noveldrama
"Mr. Jackson invited Milady over. It's fine," Ewan said.
"Alright!" Wendy replied indifferently and continued to ask, "Why did Hunter ask her to come?"
Ewan felt that this question was a bit strange. Hunter and Emily were engaged. Wasn't it normal for Hunter to invite Emily over?
Ewan was especially patient with Wendy.
"This is between Mr. Jackson and Miss Emily. I don't know."
Wendy didn't say anything else. She probably knew that her question got too deep for him.
Noticing that Wendy was depressed, Ewan thought that she was upset about Emily shabbily treating her.
He comforted, "Mr. Jackson said you should feel free to come to him if needed."
"Really?" Wendy's face lit up. "Can I tell others that he is my brother?"
This wasn't the result she wanted.
However, Hunter was engaged. Before his fiancée disappeared, it would be a great honor to be Hunter's sister.
Ewan nodded. "Of course."
In this way, for the sake of Hunter, people would take care of her.
Wendy was satisfied for the time being.
Looking at Ewan, she smiled softly. "Thank you for helping me just now. Without you, Emily ..."
She hung her head and bit her lips without saying anything else.
People would imagine endlessly while been kept in suspense.
Thus, Ewan would be under the impression that Wendy had been bullied by Emily at home.
Wendy was once beat up by Hunter's subordinates. In fact, Ewan was present.
He felt that she was innocent at that time.
Seeing her like this now, he felt sad for her.
He sighed and said seriously, "In the future, no one will dare to bully you."
"I see." Wendy nodded her head with a smile.
Under the sunlight, the soft smile rendered her indescribably beautiful.
Ewan was entranced.
Wendy knew how beautiful she was and what the man's gaze suggested.
However, she pretended that she didn't see anything, taking two steps closer to Ewan. She was gentle, so was her voice.
"Thank you so much for saving me just now. If I encounter any trouble in the future, can I ask for your help?"
"Yes, you can." Ewan hurriedly took two steps back, keeping a distance away from her.
As they were close to each other just now, Ewan's breathing was uneven.
Her pleasant scent had stuck in his mind.
Noticing that Ewan blushed, Wendy knew that her goal had been achieved. Thus, she smiled at him again.
"Can I walk around and take a look at the surroundings?"
"You are Mr. Jackson's sister. You have full access to WongRiver Pavilion. No one will stop you in the future."
"Thank you."
Wendy turned around and walked towards the backyard.
The bright smile instantly turned into a smug one.
After Hunter valued her as his sister, everything went on smoothly.
Wendy felt good!
Luckily, she got Emily's blood sample that day. After the test, she knew that Emily was related to Hunter's grandmother by blood.
Otherwise, Wendy wouldn't take such a risk to ask Kate to act in front of the matriarch.
Hunter's grandmother was old. Not only was she terminally ill, she was also too old to see through Wendy's plot.
As long as the matriarch believed that Wendy was her granddaughter, Hunter would definitely not abandon the matriarch's 'only blood relative', since Hunter thought he owed his grandmother a favor.
Now, she was that only blood relative.
Life was so wonderful.
When Emily entered the study, Hunter was still working.
Seeing this girl, he felt slightly better.
"Come here," he said.
His laptop screen was displaying a design for the garden of the villa.
The designer had spent an entire week to work it out. It was just delivered over
today.
Hunter planned to show it to this girl after returning to the villa. But for some reason, he directly asked Liam to bring her over so that she could see it earlier.
Hunter didn't know what kind of mentality this was. He couldn't wait to show her.
After this girl moved to the dormitory, she didn't want to come back.
It seemed that he had not seen her for several days.
Emily walked to his side. Instead of looking at the drawing on the laptop, she
looked at his side face.
Ever since he saw her with Manson in the courtyard near the back room of the Jackson mansion, they had never seen each other again.
She intentionally avoided him for the time being. She was in a bad mood, and she
didn't want to go back to face Hunter, who was angry.
Emily meant to avoid Hunter by moving to the dormitory.
Since he asked Liam to bring her here, Emily planned to explain to him what had
happened that day.
However, she did not expect to hear such a shocking news as soon as she arrived that Hunter addressed Wendy as his sister.
"She can't." Emily's face darkened. Before Hunter spoke, she added in a deep
voice, "I won't stop you from dating any woman, except Wendy!"
She wouldn't stop him from dating any woman?
Hunter paused, shifting his gaze from the blueprint to her face.
These words instantly dampened his previous enthusiasm.
"Do you want me to date other woman?' He narrowed his eyes.
Emily knew that he was unhappy. How dare he get entangled with Wendy?
Did he have the right to be unhappy?
He was a man of noble birth. But what was the big deal?
"Wendy is vicious. She is not as docile and innocent as she appears to be!"
"And then?" Hunter dropped his mouse, looking at her with his legs crossed.
But it seemed that he didn't want to hear what she was going to say.
On the contrary, he was obviously resisting it.
"I know she's pretty, but she's not a good person. Even if you want to date
someone, please keep your mind clear and find someone nice."
"For example?" She kept saying that he was seeing a woman. But who?
Last time, he was angry with her and Manson. When he thought about it again, he knew that it wasn't Emily's fault.
In terms of Manson's personality, it was not surprising that he would deliberately
irritate Hunter.
But Hunter didn't expect that after they separated for a few days, she would claim
that he was dating someone.
"Someone nice? Like you?"
Hunted said it out of temper. Emily flied into a rage on hearing it.
He thought she was the same as those women, didn't he?
The scene of how she died tragically in her previous life instantly came sweeping
back.
What did she say?
Before she died, she told herself that if there were an afterlife, she would never
fall in love with this man again.
But what was she doing now?
