The next day, she went to work at the Restaurant, only for Mr. Lopez to come looking for her.
He said she had deceived him and threatened her, saying he would not let her off easily!
How dare she trick him? Mr. Lopez swore not only would she lose her job, but her familyâs Restaurant would be forced to close.
From then on, the three of them would only have the northwest wind for sustenance!
And even if they were to rely on the northwest wind, they wouldnât be able to do so in Nork City.
What could Wendy Clarke do?
She asked Mr. Lopez how he could let her off the hook.
Mr. Lopez said it was simple; she just had to find a replacement for Cindy
Clarke.
But Mr. Lopez wouldnât settle for anyone other than Wendy herself.
Finally, Wendy reluctantly agreed to do it.
She bore Mr. Lopez a son, received the money, and only then managed to salvage her familyâs current situation.
Joshua Clarke didnât know about this, but Christy Xenos did.
Christy and Wendy were both filled with hatred for Cindy.
âIf it werenât for her, would you have had to make such a huge sacrifice?â Christy said resentfully when mentioning Cindy, âShe was asked to do something to help the family, but she wasnât willing. Everything the family has now, you provided. You sacrificed so much for the family, yet she ran off to make a name for herself in Belfard. Such an ungrateful little brat!â âEnough!â Wendy yelled, âI told you, never mention that incident again!â Her business with Mr. Lopez was the shame of her life.
It was something Wendy had desperately tried to pretend never happened.
Only she and Christy knew about it.
Thatâs why Wendy told Christy to act as if it never happened, and never bring it up again.
After giving the child to Mr. Lopez and taking the money, she completely severed all ties with him.
Wendy thought that as long as she avoided talking about it and slowly forgot, it would be as if it had never happened.
âFine, I wonât mention it.â Christy also had a slip of the tongue.
Wendy was very repulsed at the idea.
Christy turned her attention back to the television.
Now the camera focused on Cindy, and Christy could see her clearly. âShe ran away from us, and now dares to show her face so openly!â Christy fumed.
Christy rolled up her sleeves and said, âNow that we know where she is, letâs grab her and bring her back!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOur familyâs recipe is still with her.â Christy said angrily, âWe canât let her get away with it! Sheâs never helped the family in the slightest. We worked hard to support her through college, only for her to drop out with no hesitation. All that tuition money, wasted! â
âIsnât she an internet celebrity calledâ¦â Christy took another look at the TV, just in time to see the name tag on Cindy, âCain Velman.â
âThat makes things easier. Belfard is big, but itâs not like we canât find her. We can hire a private detective and Iâm sure weâll find her. She needs to cough up all the money we spent on her over the years! We need to get our recipe back!â
Wendy twirled her eyes, grabbed Christyâs arm, and stopped her, saying, âMom, donât be hasty.â
âShe owes us, and weâll make sure she pays up. But not now,â Wendy said.
âWhat do you mean? Are we just going to let her off easy?â Christy couldnât accept it, âSheâs part of our family, and sheâs never done anything for us. She even stole from us; we canât let her off the hook!â
Wendyâs eyes darted around, then she said, âMom, have you ever thought that our family is not as it used to be?â
