Wendy knew that her future was very bleak.
Lady Wilson wiped the tears off her face before she said seriously, "Wendy, you used to be the princess in our house. I have always spoiled you, your parents spoiled you, and your brother also spoiled you a lot. You did not focus on your studies, and even after graduating, you refused to go to work, but that was still acceptable then. However, that was all in the past. Our family is not what it used to be, now. Wendy, you have to change. You have to learn how to be more mature so that you can share some responsibility on behalf of the Wilson family. Otherwise, our family will only suffer more and more." 4
Wendy nodded before she said, "Grandma, I am sorry. I was too playful in the past and I did not learn anything at all. I am sorry that I could not do anything for our family..." 4
Lady Wilson squeezed Wendy’s hand before she said earnestly, "Wendy, everything is already in the past. You are, and you will always be, my precious granddaughter. How could I possibly blame you for anything at all?"
After that, Lady Wilson said earnestly, "Now, there is a n excellent opportunity for you to achieve multiple benefits in one go. You will not only be able to solve our family crisis, but you will also have an opportunity
to rise up again. Do you want to grab hold of this opportunity?" 2
When Wendy heard her grandmother's words, she became very excited and replied immediately, "Yes, grandma! I would like that!"
As soon as Christopher and Harold heard Lady Wilson’s words, they also gathered around them.
Christopher was very excited at this time, and he quickly asked his mother, "Mom, what kind of opportunity is that?"
Lady Wilson then spoke seriously, "I am talking about Chairman Wilson. The one who is living in the guest room upstairs, Kenneth Wilson!"
"Him?" Christopher asked again. "Did he promise to help us already?"
"No." Lady Wilson shook her head before she said, “He told me that we are not related to him, and he only came here today because he wanted to fulfill his father’s dying wish. He has no obligations to help us i n any way."
Christopher did not understand what his mother meant, so, he continued asking, "So, what do you mean then?"
