Bab 42: A Satisfactory Answer

Christian's prediction turned out to be true. Wendy received a call from Mrs. Lucas right before she got off work, requesting for the trio to go back to the mansion that night. Since Wendy no longer owned a car, Christian offered her a ride. Otherwise, she would have to take a cab back.

Taking a cab back was not an issue for Wendy. However, she knew that if Mrs. Lucas saw her doing that, she would be worried. Hence, Wendy decided to accept Christian's offer without hesitation. Just when she pulled open the door, a sharp whistle rang out beside her. Michael's car pulled to a halt.

Rolling down his windows, Michael said coldly, "Get in my car."

Even though Wendy still felt resistance toward Christian, she still preferred to sit in his car over Michael's. Her heart sank at the reminder of Michael heading to the hospital after dropping her off at home a few days earlier.

Seeing Wendy's insistence on entering Christian's car, Michael's tone grew sterner.
