Chapter 708: 708: Sincerity

“At least for now, the things you need must be resolved as soon as possible. Can Cindy solve them this quickly for you? Don’t you have to haggle with her and waste a lot of time?”

“Even if she were really threatened by you and promised to help you, aren’t you afraid that she might set traps for you in the process?”

“Besides, to be honest, once I solve these small matters for you in the early stages, you can develop and grow on your own later, handling the challenges that come your way.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I think you came to Belfard for more than just opening a restaurant. You definitely want to continue your development, and it would be better to do so on your own without having to rely on Cindy, right?”

“I still don’t know what kind of leverage you have in your hands, but if we work together, I can provide you with convenience when you want to threaten Cindy, and save you a lot of trouble. Wouldn’t that be better?”

Edward Lopez really didn’t know what kind of leverage Wendy Clarke had, but she knew it very well.

Although she could use her leverage against Cindy at any time, Wendy always wanted a better effect.

She had been almost driven out of the Zhekova Family Mansion by Cindy before.

So after that, Wendy was determined to expose Cindy’s disgrace in a large public event.

What public places would be suitable?

Wendy soon found an especially suitable public event.

The Culinary Competition Spring Festival Special Program.

Although the Spring Festival Special Program wouldn’t be broadcast live, there would be a considerable number of audience members present.

Wendy thought of exposing Cindy’s scandal of having a son with Mr. Lopez in that live program.

The audience would naturally spread the news in their social circles.

By then, how could the Zhekova Family tolerate Cindy anymore?

However, Wendy also needed a guarantee.

She couldn’t pull this off all by herself.

She might be taken away before she could say a few sentences.

That’s why she needed a guarantee that she wouldn’t be taken away and could smoothly speak her mind.

To do this, she needed to bribe the event staff and security personnel.

This was a big project for Wendy.

However, if Edward Lopez was involved, he could bribe all of these people and give Wendy enough time to speak her mind.

After careful consideration, Wendy thought that cooperating with Edward Lopez would be better.

Moreover, she was now in Belfard, with no connections or background.

In this vast city of Belfard, she couldn’t accomplish anything on her own.

She hadn’t been in Belfard for long, but Wendy had experienced it deeply.

“I can tell you about that leverage. But when are you planning to threaten Cindy?” Wendy asked, wanting to make sure of the timing with Edward Lopez.

“I plan to take advantage of an opportunity soon and disclose it publicly,” said Wendy.

Edward Lopez raised an eyebrow and asked, “Aren’t you going to use it to threaten her?”

“No.” Wendy said coldly, “Cindy has already provoked me. I don’t plan to give her any chances.”

“She’s arrogant because she thinks she has the backing of the Zhekova Family. I can’t stand her arrogance,” Wendy stated coldly.

“So, I plan to find a suitable large-scale public event to disclose this leverage to everyone and let her lose face.”

“By then, the Zhekova Family will definitely not accept her anymore,” Wendy said with a cold face.

Edward Lopez thought that Wendy’s plan could also be helpful to him.

Adrian Zhekova dealt with the Lopez Family because of Cindy’s involvement.

But according to Wendy, Cindy would be rejected by the Zhekova Family because of the leverage Wendy had in her possession.

In that case, Adrian Zhekova certainly wouldn’t waste his energy on a woman rejected by his family.

By then, he wouldn’t act against the Lopez Family anymore.

However, this would take time.

Edward didn’t know if his family could hold out that long.

Edward Lopez narrowed his eyes and said to Wendy, “What’s the leverage? Tell me.”

“I’ll definitely use it before you, so don’t worry,” Edward said.

“You promise me you’ll definitely help me?” Wendy asked uneasily.

“To show my sincerity, I can secure your restaurant issues first,” Edward Lopez said.

After the words fell, he immediately made several phone calls.

“My matter is urgent, so I need a response right away,” Edward said. “I’m also waiting for my friend’s reply. She told me everything is settled, so I can rest assured.”

After contacting everyone one by one, Edward hung up the phone and said to Wendy, “Let’s wait for the news. I asked them to get everything done as soon as possible. I think you’ll receive the news soon.”

“After this, you should trust my sincerity,” Edward said.

Although the Lopez Company was having some problems now.

The Lopez Family could still hold on.

And the news of the problems at Lopez Company hadn’t spread out yet.

Even if it spread, as long as the Lopez Family hadn’t gone bankrupt yet, they could still have a say.

After all, as long as it hasn’t reached the end, no one knows what the final outcome will be.

No one would easily offend the Lopez Family.

As a result, Wendy received a phone call about an hour later.

She was told that her restaurant license and all the necessary documents were in order.

“As for the restaurant decoration, and the choice of chefs, these are not matters you can decide on the spot,” Edward said.

“Even if I could decide for you immediately, you might not be at ease. You have to see and choose for yourself, making a comparison before finalizing a decoration plan. You also need to consider the chefs…”

“But, those documents you needed should be taken care of by now,” Edward said, “Removing other issues, once the decorations and staff are in place, your restaurant can open at any time.”

Wendy nodded, saying, “I can tell you about the leverage.”

Wendy waved to Edward Lopez.

Edward approached Wendy a little closer.

Wendy then told Edward everything she knew.

Edward never expected to stumble upon such a scandal!

Edward’s fingers tapped unconsciously on the table as he asked Wendy, “So how do you plan to publicly expose her?”

“As far as I know, the Pingla Culinary Competition is preparing to record a Spring Festival Special Program,” said Wendy, “I plan to expose her right there on the program.”

“The program is recorded, not broadcast live. Even if you expose her in person, it can be edited out during broadcasting,” Edward reminded her.

“I know that, of course,” said Wendy. “But there will be quite a few audience members present.”

“The special event is being held at the Wells Cultural Center, which can accommodate so many people,” she added.
