Chapter 661: Surely the unfortunate one won’t be Cindy Clarke

“So, these are the conditions you’re offering me?” Cindy Clarke said very clearly, “Actually, it means that as long as I agree to help you expand your business and turn the Clarke Family into a prestigious family, you’ll help me keep this secret, right?”

Seeing that Cindy laid things out so clearly, Wendy Clarke chose not to beat around the bush anymore and readily admitted, “That’s not a wrong understanding. I’ve always said that we should help each other. You use the influence and connections of the Zhekova Family to support the Clarke Family, and I’ll definitely help you keep your secret safe. You can live peacefully in the Zhekova Family, and no one will know about your relationship with Mr. Lopez.”

“I understand. Give me some time to think about it,” Cindy replied.

Wendy didn’t expect Cindy to agree quickly either, and it wasn’t a small matter. Even if Cindy agreed, she would have to deal with the Zhekova Family’s side of things too.

If Cindy agreed without thinking, Wendy would be suspicious instead.

“How long do you need to consider?” Wendy asked.

“I can’t give an exact timeline.”

Cindy thought, what is there to think about?

She’s wasting her time.

Wendy realized that Cindy was trying to stall and buy time.

Cindy wasn’t serious about considering the proposition at all.

Wendy immediately put on a cold face and said, “Cindy, since you’re not sincere, let me be straightforward. I’ll give you three days to think about it. If you haven’t made up your mind after three days, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“And how are you going to be rude?” Cindy sneered.

Wendy was provoked by her words: “By the time I take action, it’ll be too late for you to regret it. This is my mobile phone number, you take it down and call me in three days.”

Wendy checked the time: “It’s 11:05 now, so in three days at 11:05, I’ll be waiting for your call. If you still haven’t contacted me by 11:30, I’ll assume you have no intention of cooperating with me.”

“If you don’t consider us family members and enjoy wealth and luxury all by yourself without thinking about your family, don’t blame me for not treating you like one either!” Wendy said, “Cindy, think it over carefully.”

With that, Wendy hung up the phone.

Cindy rolled her eyes but still noted down the mobile phone number.

In the future, if Wendy bothers her again, she’ll know it’s Wendy’s number.

Cindy wanted to see what she’ll regret if she doesn’t contact Wendy in three days.

Anyway, Cindy wasn’t afraid.

Wendy’s speculations were all false.

No matter how Wendy exposes her, Cindy can always hit back.

When the time comes, whoever suffers, it definitely won’t be Cindy.

***

When Adrian Zhekova came home at night, Cindy told him about the situation.

It turned out that the phone call last night was from Wendy.

When mentioning last night, she couldn’t help but think about what they were doing when the phone rang.

Before Cindy even finished speaking, her face had turned red.

As soon as Cindy mentioned that time, Adrian already thought about what happened last night.

Now, seeing her blushing face, he knew she was thinking about it too.

Adrian didn’t care whether Wendy called or not.

He went straight to embracing Cindy’s waist, not taking Wendy to heart, and letting her do whatever she wanted. They weren’t worried at all.

Cindy told Adrian about this mainly because she had promised him that she would talk to him about anything that happened, just to let him know.

It wasn’t to ask Adrian to do anything or to be on guard.

So, Cindy just mentioned it.

Adrian gave a shallow acknowledgement to indicate he knew about Wendy’s matter.

Then his focus immediately returned to last night, which had been so pleasurable that he was still not satisfied.

So much so that he even thought about that wonderful taste while at the Company today.

Since Morgan Zhekova was around, Adrian didn’t dare to be too bold.

He could only hide his hand behind Cindy’s waist and play with her back, poking at the small indentation at her lower back.

Cindy felt it tickling and immediately reached back to hold Adrian’s hand, urging him to stop teasing her.

Morgan was very familiar with Wendy’s name and immediately caught on to the situation.

“Cindy, is it someone from your family coming?”

Morgan didn’t want to call them grandparents either because of Cindy’s past and had no good impression of Wendy.

Cindy nodded. She didn’t plan to let Morgan meet them anyway, so she went along with Morgan’s words.

Forcing Morgan to call them grandparents would only mislead her, causing Morgan to mistakenly think that she had a good relationship with her family.

If Morgan suffered because of this later, it would be no good.

“Uncle Cleave drops you off and picks you up at the Nursery, so I’m not worried about that. But you should also be careful. If anyone other than Uncle Cleave or our family members come to pick you up, don’t pay them any attention,” Cindy instructed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“If someone you don’t know claims to be my sister, your aunt, or your grandparents, even if they really are, don’t go with them. Tell your teacher right away, and also explain it to the Headmaster.”

Adrian said to Morgan, “You’re usually very smart and quick.”

Caught off guard by Adrian’s sudden praise, Morgan couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

Morgan covered her small face and crisply said, “Oh, so you think so too, Dad! It looks like my intelligence and cleverness can’t be hidden, so you have to admit it.”

Adrian: “…”

“Since you’re so smart and quick to react, don’t be easily fooled,” Adrian said. “Just remember, aside from familiar people from our family, or Cleave Roland and Sheldon Rowland, don’t pay attention to anyone else. Even if they say they’re your grandparents or your aunt, don’t mind them.”

“If they go directly to your Nursery’s teachers and the Headmaster,” Adrian added.

Morgan immediately said, “Then I’ll tell the teachers and the Headmaster that they’re lying, and they just want to kidnap and sell me.”

Morgan confidently said, “After all, I’m now the Golden Grandchild of the Zhekova Family, worth a lot of money! If I were kidnapped, a huge ransom would be demanded. That must be their plan. I’ll not only tell the teachers and the Headmaster, but I’ll also call the police to catch them!”

Cindy: “…”

But hearing the little one mentioning kidnapping made her worry a bit.

Cindy turned to Adrian and asked, “Yes, more and more people are aware of Morgan’s identity. I’m afraid someone will target him.”
