At that moment,Tiara walked in.She naturally helped Jack fix his tie.“Jay,you forgot to tie your tie this morning.I brought it for you.”
While doing this intimate gesture,she looked at Wendy with clear provocation.
Jack’s expression stiffened.He explained,“Tia was sick last night,so I stayed with her.
Don’t misunderstand.”
Wendy showed no reaction at all.
In the past,she would have questioned him.She would have been hurt.But now,she was too tired of it all,she didn’t care anymore.
“It doesn’t matter.It has nothing to do with me.If Mr.Russell has nothing else to do,please get off the plane.Don’t waste other passengers'time.”
Wendy's calm attitude made Jack angry.He lowered his voice and threatened her,“Wen,I heard you’re looking for a lawyer to appeal your brother’s case.”
Wendy’s face tightened.She looked up and stared at him.
Seeing her finally react,Jack smiled faintly.“In New Metro,without my permission,no one dares to take your case!”
It was clearly midsummer,but Wendy felt like her heart had fallen into an icy pit.
Her body trembled.Tears streamed down her face.“Jack…are you threatening me?”
Jack bent down and gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.“Wen,as long as you go home with me obediently,I’ll handle your brother’s case.”
Hearing this,Wendy laughed coldly.Back then,Jack had said the same thing.He promised to take care of her brother.He said everything was under his control.But things resulted with her brother’s life getting ruined.
She was no longer the Wendy from two years ago.“Jack,I won’t believe a single word you say anymore.”
Jack sneered and turned to Tiara behind him.“Spread the word to every law firm in New Metro.Anyone who dares take the Windfield Family’s case will never survive in this city again.”
Then he looked back at Wendy.“Wen,I’m the only person you can trust now.Either come home with me and I’ll pretend nothing happened,or keep fighting me.”
He added,“You choose.”
Wendy felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.Her fists clenched tightly.Jack controlled New Metro with absolute power.Once he spoke,no one dared help her.
In the end the path she worked so hard to find was blocked again.Her depression flared up.Her whole body shook,even her voice trembled.
“Jack…if you keep forcing me like this,aren’t you worried you’ll be pushing me to death one day?”
