"Ah, so that's how it is!" Yolanda's face immediately filled with laughter and she changed quickly. "No wonder. I'm surprised that my sister rarely comes to my home. I'm really happy to see her here!"
"Yolanda, you've always been sensible." Johnny said gently.
Yolanda rushed forward and said with a smile, "Wendy, don't stand at the door. Come in quickly!"
It seemed that Helen also heard the sound. When she came out of the dining room, she looked displeased. However, because Johnny was also there, she just smiled and said nothing. She still maintained the appearance of a good wife and mother.
"Is dinner ready?" Johnny asked his wife.
"Servants in the kitchen said that it's almost time!" Helen nodded hurriedly.
Wendy had long been accustomed to Yolanda and Helen's role- play in front of Johnny. So she just frowned and asked, "Dad, what do you want?"
"Don't worry, I ask Helen to add more dishes. Let's eat and talk later!" Johnny said.
Wendy was obviously surprised. After hesitating for two seconds, she nodded and went in.
Although Yolanda was reluctant, she still had to maintain her mask of hypocrisy, holding Wendy and playing a good sister. For so many years, every time Wendy returned to the Lim family, she would ask for money then leave. It was impossible for her to stay longer, nor would she be kept for dinner. It seemed that it was the first time she ever been called back like this. She stayed and had dinner with her father for the sake of Charlie.
When Wendy walked to the dining table, she was cautious. When she turned around and saw no servant approaching, she sat down restlessly.
A lot of dishes were placed on the table, and the smell was overwhelming.
On the opposite side sat Yolanda and Helen. Wendy had no appetite and only felt that it was unbearable. And she also knew that Johnny would not ask her to go back to the Lim family if he wants nothing from her.
Sure enough, it was not long after Johnny grabbed his chopsticks, he looked at Wendy and said, "Wendy, there's something dad would like to ask you for your help."
"... What's it?" Wendy was a little stunned.
"There's a good project for the company. I want to cooperate with Hogg's Group." Johnny paused and said with a smile, "Look, find an opportunity to talk to Charlie!"
"Er..." Wendy bit her lips.
Wendy more or less figured out why she's here tonight.
"Dad!" Yolanda shouted out in anger and soon realized that she had lost her composure. She quickly regained her innocence and said, "Dad, don't you know that Charlie is going to have an engagement ceremony? There has been news in the newspaper some time ago! It's useless for you to ask my sister. She can't do anything about it!"
"Yolanda, I'm talking to your sister." Johnny frowned and was not very happy.
Next to Yolanda, Helen winked at her. Yolanda immediately shut her mouth and said no more. She looked like a good daughter.
"Wendy, remember what I said. Go back and find an opportunity to talk to Charlie about this matter!"
The meal was finally over, and Wendy did not intend to stay any longer.
When Wendy was about to leave the villa, Yolanda said earnestly, "Daddy, I'll walk Wendy out!"
"Wendy, you're really shameless!"
There were only the two of them left. Yolanda didn't need to hide anymore. She couldn't be more ignorant. "Dad said he would ask you for help. Do you think you can do that? Hum, really?"
