Still, this was one of the few luxuries that the current Wendy could afford.
After all, Wendy was now single-handedly earning money to feed four people. Moreover, her father and elder brother needed quite a lot of medical expenses. S o, Wendy had been very frugal, and she had been saving up. After much difficulty, she had finally saved more than eight thousand dollars.
She had asked the sales personnel to help her wrap the belt up, and she had been thinking about how she should hand the gift over to Charlie while she was on the way back home.
After thinking about it, Wendy had planned to place the gift inside the mailbox in front of Charlie’s house. After that, she would send a WhatsApp message to Charlie so that he could come out and pick it up himself.
She felt that this was a relatively safe method, and it would not be known to others, especially her cousin sister, Claire.
Moreover, if Charlie was not willing to accept her gift, he would not have the opportunity to reject it face-to-face. She would be able to leave some leeway for herself that way. 2
However, just as she was about to pass by the door of Charlie’s house, she suddenly heard her grandmother’s furious voice sounding from the distance. When she took a closer look, Wendy saw that her grandmother had blocked Charlie's door, and she was actually quarreling with Charlie now!
This scared Wendy out of her wits!
So, Wendy hurriedly ran all the way to Charlie's house door in her high heels as she grabbed Lady Wilson and pulled her away without even allowing Lady Wilson to speak or explain anything as she said," Grandma, hurry up and come home with me!"
After putting herself through the mill during this time, Wendy could be said to be very discerning now. When she saw that Lady Wilson had come to cause trouble for Charlie, she immediately knew that Lady Wilson must have already caused some form of big trouble. Wendy knew that she should not continue tussling with Lady Wilson in front of Charlie's house at this time. Otherwise, if Lady Wilson were to get emotional and excited, Wendy really did not know what kind of words Lady Wilson would say to irritate and make Charlie angry.
Therefore, the best way would be for Wendy to take Lady Wilson away first before she found a way to apologize to Charlie!
Lady Wilson did not expect Wendy to come back at this time. When she saw that Wendy was pulling her away to leave, she hurriedly said, "Oh! Wendy, stop pulling me. Let me tell you something. Charlie is about to go down soon! So, why are you so afraid of him? Perhaps his family will come and ask us to take them i n in a few days!"
Wendy felt as though her back was drenched in a cold sweat and she blurted out and rebuked, "Grandma, what nonsense are you saying?! Brother-in-Law is so powerful. So, how can he possibly be going down? You should hurry up and apologize to Brother-in-Law now. We should quickly go home after you apologize to him. Stop giving Brother-in-Law a hard time here!"
Lady Wilson raised her brows. "What?! You want me to apologize to him?! He is a swindler who is using tricks to deceive and cheat people all day long! How can he b e worthy of my apology?! Pfft! Let me tell you something, Wendy. You have been completely deceived by his previous illusion that he could rally multitudes at his call! Look! He is celebrating his birthday today, but there is not even a single person who is here to send him a gift. So, what does this mean? This means that he is almost done for! Maybe someone will come and settle the score with him at any time!"
Wendy knew very well that Charlie had extremely strong connections in Aurous Hill. So, how could he possibly go down just like that?
If Charlie were to really go down, Hebron Lawry, the previous boss of Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation, would definitely be the first person to come and look for her as soon as possible so that he could snatch his company back from her.
So, there was no need for her to take a look at anything else. As long as Hebron had not come to look for her yet, it was very unlikely that Charlie was going down.
The only possibility was that her grandmother had gotten herself into big trouble again! s
