Trevor sneered. “Ever since you forced me to stand Vinson up, I had to use all my money to buy building materials available in Horington. I had to build up relationships with various building materials companies. All of these need money. Even my life is horrible now, not to mention yours! If Vinson doesn't come to buy from me, I'm going to end up just like you! Larson Group's going to go bankrupt and close down!”
That made the anger in Cecilia die down a little. She then told Wendy, “Wendy, your uncle is having trouble with his finances as well. Try to save up as much as you can with that ten thousand. Once Vinson's project needs material, they'll come pleading at your uncle's doorstep. Everything will be fine once your uncle starts raking in profits again.”
Upon hearing that, Wendy fell silent despite her displeasure.
At that moment, she found out what it felt like to live off someone else.
It felt horrible, and it was much worse than when Arielle had slapped her.
That incident had only been humiliating, but living off someone else was indescribable agony.
Right then, Donovan came out of the school.
She knew that Donovan often headed to the restaurant opposite the campus for his meals because he was not used to the food in the cafeteria.
As she had expected, Donovan was out.
Regardless of everything, Maxwell University was her last hope. She could not let that opportunity slip by her. She was determined to return to her good life from before.
Thus, Wendy steeled herself and tamped down all her emotions before slapping a smile onto her face.
“Mr. Baxter!”
Donovan was still irked by what he had done to Queenie out of frustration the other night. When he raised his head, he saw Wendy, and for a moment, he thought he was hallucinating.
Isn 't Wendy in jail? Why is she here?
