Chapter 177 Wendy’s Dilemma and Charlotte’s Discovery
Wendy’s face changed dramatically.
She almost squeezed out a weak ery between her teeth, “Mom!”
That’s right, the woman in front of her who claimed to be Wendy’s aunt was actually her mother.
Years ago, Stacy became pregnant out of wedlock and gave birth to Wendy. Worried that Wendy would have no future following her, she used her profession to find a wealthy family unable to bear children and abandoned Wendy at their doorstep.
Had it been just that, she might still be considered a decent. mother.
However, when Wendy was three, Stacy got a job as a nanny for that family and began brainwashing Wendy day and night.
She told Wendy, “You are deliberately placed in this affluent family by me. If you don’t listen to me, I’ll take you away, and you’ll never lead such a wealthy life again.”
Although a young Wendy was naive, she knew she didn’t want to live a life of poverty, so she succumbed to Stacy’s threats, even up to now.
higed, her smile becoming, colder: “If you
still remember who I am, you wouldn’t let me go to jail. You should also know I can’t endure hardship. I believe Joe would be delighted to hear from me,”
Wendy’s face instantly changed.
She stared at Stacy, deep in thought.
Stacy, who had watched Wendy grow up from a young age, knew her emotions very well. Seeing, her changed expression, Stacy said, “Don’t think about using any means against me. If anything happens to me, I’ll periodically send all your scandals to Joe and the media. You wouldn’t be able to live after that.”
Wendy clenched her skirt tightly, her face paling for a moment. Then she reluctantly spoke, “I understand. I’ll find a way to get you out.”
The sunlight outside shone through the window onto her profile, but it only seemed to make her look gloomy.
“But you know Joe’s methods. If you do something stupid and they catch you, even I might not be able to save you…”
Wendy’s words were impatiently interrupted by Stacy, “Isn’t he… your fiancé? Whether you are acting, cute or playing the victim, find a way to get me out!”
Wendy looked at her indifferently, “I can only try my best. If Joe doesn’t release you, even if I kneel and beg him, it won’t help. But I can a*sure you will
decent life in prison. If you don’t
accept this, then we can go our separate ways.”
Stacy was furious, but Wendy didn’t give her a chance to speak and turned to leave the detention center.
As she just stepped out, she saw Charlotte walking into the police station not far away.
Wendy quickly hid, watching from a distance as Charlotte spoke with Officer Carter, her expression dark.
Charlotte was unaware that she had inexplicably earned the ire of Wendy again. She was currently discussing matters related to Stacy with Officer Carter.
“So you’re saying she has other crimes on her record?” Charlotte looked at Officer Carter in shock. She originally thought she had caught a corporate spy, but now the situation seemed more complicated.
Officer Carter also felt helpless as he nodded, “After we uploaded her information, we almost immediately received messages from other bureaus suggesting she might be involved in other things. The specifics need further interrogation and investigation. But the trial for your case won’t be starting soon.”
Regarding this, Charlotte wasn’t in a hurry, “It’s okay, as long as I can cooperate with your work, I will fully support you.”
When leaving the police station, Charlotte still felt somewhat shocked.
Back when she was at the White family’s residence, although she didn’t interact much with Mrs. Vega, she had heard from others
that Mrs. Vega had a gentle nature. However, now it seems that things aren’t that simple.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
