Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 558

Seeing that Charlie's white Land Rover drove over, Tilly waved her goodbye and entered the hospital building.

Charlie bent down and fastened the seat belt for Wendy. When he looked up and saw her in a daze, he covered her eyes with one hand and tightened it.

As Wendy felt the warmth of his palms, she came to herself and looked up at him. She gazed into his deep eyes shining with concern and whispered, "Charlie, am I a wicked woman..." In fact, she had thought that Kim would propose a divorce.

Johnny, her adopted father, had divorced. So did her middle-aged biological father, who had just confirmed his relationship with her. These things that happened to them were directly related to her. Whenever she thought of Kim's withered face as if he suddenly had become several years older, Wendy would feel sad and even blame herself.

"No!" Charlie frowned and pinched her face with the other hand. "You did nothing wrong. Think about your mother. You're just seeking justice for her! Even if you have a heart as malicious as snakes and scorpions, you're still my beloved woman!"

His steady male voice relieved some of her guilt.

He was right: her mother suffered much more!

Her mother was forced to break up with her lover, leave his daughter, and take her own life. So, Wendy did not try to frame Linda and only wanted to find the truth of a past incident. Her sole aim was to get justice for her mother.

Seriously?! He compared her to snakes and scorpions, but still, Wendy thought it was sweet and threw a coquettish glance at him.

When Charlie saw that she finally smiled, he restarted the car.

He drove his Land Rover slowly away. Wendy turned sideways and looked into the rearview mirror. From it, she happened to see Linda walking out of the hospital building with the help of Madge and almost all of her weight was on her daughter.

When Linda walked down the last step, she suddenly staggered and collapsed onto the ground.

Wendy could see that Linda loved her husband deeply. In order to be with him, she had to take him from her mother by any possible means. No one would like and even would disdain such a vicious woman! Kim's petition for divorce was undoubtedly the most fatal blow to her!

From the rearview mirror, Wendy saw that Linda's face was wet with tears. She looked haggard and pale. At this moment, she was no longer the elegant and arrogant lady but a completely shattered poor

woman.

However, Wendy didn't feel any pity for her, because it was the cruel truth that she had to accept. Everyone had to be responsible for what they had done. Yolanda should be responsible, and it was the same with Helen and Linda!

After all, God is watching!

Monday was the beginning of every week, and it was also the busiest day. After a whole morning's meeting, it was finally lunch break time. When everyone came out of the conference room, almost all of them went straight to the canteen, instead of going back to their office.

After entering, Connie and Bonnie insisted that Wendy should sit in a seat with good lighting and wait for them to bring her meal, but Wendy declined again and again. In the end, Connie said that it was Charlie who asked her to take care of Wendy, who was pregnant. Hearing this, she had to give in to them.

It was a group meeting that everyone should participate in, so almost every employee of the company was here queuing up for their meals in long lines.

Wendy watched them from a distance and saw a small commotion among the queues. However, from afar, she could not see it clearly. But since she had no interest to see what had happened, she took out her phone to browse the news. When she looked up again, Bonnie was pulling back Connie, whose eyes were red with anger.

After putting down the dinner plates, Wendy hurriedly asked, "Bonnie, what's wrong with her?"

"I'm fine!" Connie said without waiting for Bonnie's reply.

"Yes, it's nothing. Someone took the dish that she liked, so she was displeased!" Bonnie echoed with a smile and handled Wendy her plate and tableware. "Wendy, let's eat our meals quickly. We have to work in the afternoon!"

"Yes, thank you!" Wendy nodded.

But she still felt very confused in her heart.

After all, Connie's eyes could not turn red merely because of such a trivial thing!

They lowered their heads to eat their meals, and from time to time, there were colleagues, who had got their meals, walking past them. One of them glanced at them and snorted disdainfully. Wendy could not help frowning. This colleague who looked a little familiar seemed to be from the marketing department. Her gaze swept across Wendy and fixed on Connie next to her. "Why are you snorting?!"

Connie threw away the spoon in her hand and stood up in a rage.

The colleague, unwilling to show weakness, retorted, "I snorted because I despise you! You're so over- confident. Aren't you afraid that you'll bite your tongue when you want to bite off more than you can chew? Go back and take a mirror to see yourselves! A newly graduated fool and a dishonest pregnant woman! How dare you two even think about having anything to do with Mr. Hogg? Shame on you! I want to be with Mr. Hogg! What's wrong with that? Compared to you, he's very likely to choose me!"

"You're the over- confident and shameless one! How can Mr. Hogg fancy you? Sister Wendy is tens of thousands of times better than you, and Mr. Hogg is always nice to her! The child she's carrying is Mr. Hogg's, and she has born him a son long ago! It's just that she wanted to keep a low profile and didn't let anyone else know it!" Connie retorted and got red in the face in the heat of the argument.

With her hands on her waist, the colleague coquettishly flipped her hair and said deliberately, "Oh, yeah? Do you know that I've given Mr. Hogg quite a few sons? They are enough to form a basketball team! But you know what? I didn't let anyone know it, for I also wanted to keep a low profile!"

Wendy was muddled by too much information. Seeing her like this, Bonnie whispered the ins and outs of the matter to her.

It turned out that when they were waiting in line for dinner, this good-looking female colleague was talking about Charlie with others beside her. She told them that she got an invitation to a party two days later and saw Charlie's name from the invitation list. Because she had longed to make contact with him, she fancied that she could pretend to be drunk and take the opportunity to get close to him. Then she told them that she could deliberately fall into his arms and have sex with him that night.

Wendy was amused. She wanted to have sex with Charlie by playing tricks! She must be daydreaming! Charlie would not even bother to throw a glance at her. Last time, the female client deliberately fell down and wanted to make physical contact with him, but he pushed her away without mercy, not to mention this female employee! What wishful thinking!

However, as Bonnie and Connie listened to her words from behind, they wanted to defend Wendy against the injustice. Bonnie was a little older, so she listened and left behind her inappropriate words. However, the young Connie could not endure without protest. So, she rushed out and told the woman to forget her unrealistic fantasy. Then, the conflict began...

"You are talking nonsense! Mr. Hogg is Wendy's fiance. They are going to get married!" Connie glared at the female colleague with anger. Then she looked at Wendy and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Wendy. promised to keep your relationship with Mr. Hogg a secret, but she pushes me too far!"
