Chapter 33
Wendy Lim got off the bus and walked into the rich part of the city.
Every time she came here, she felt depressed. She couldn't afford any villa here. However, she lived here before it was eight years ago. She used to ride a bicycle on this road, and she could see her mother's smiling face when she turned back at that time. Now everything had changed...
"Bastard, don't even try to take a penny from the Lim family in the future!"
Johnny Lim's angry voice was still ringing in her ears. She didn't forget the pain caused by her father’ s slap.
But her grandmother's operation needed a lot of money, so she had to force herself to come here.
Wendy Lim looked at the villa in front of her and took a deep breath as usual. Then she walked through the yard and went inside.
Before she could enter the lobby, she was stopped by maid Wong, "Miss Lim, can I help you?"
"I'm here to see my Dad." Wendy Lim answered.
"Unfortunately, Mr. Lim is not at home!"
"It doesn't matter. I can wait."
Maid Wong didn't move her stout body, "I'm really sorry, Miss Lim. Mr. Lim said that you are not allowed to step into the house again! Don't give me a hard time. I'm only a maid." Maid Wong was really a woman of her word and didn’t show any sympathy to Wendy Lim.
"Good." Wendy Lim gritted her teeth and turned around, but she didn't leave, "Then I'll wait outside."
Maid Wong didn't contradict Wendy Lim, so she could only let her go and shut the door.
Although it was late summer, the sun was still scorching at noon. Wendy Lim felt so hot even standing in a shady place, so she had to squat down and keep looking at her watch.
There was a loud noise of the car engine.
Wendy Lim looked up and saw a red roadster coming in.
The front of the car almost knocked into the villa, and there were two tire prints on the ground. No one in the Lim family could be so arrogant except Yolanda Lim. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Yolanda Lim narrowed her eyes when she saw Wendy Lim.
Yolanda Lim felt annoyed and swaggered to Wendy Lim on her high heels, "Wendy Lim, are you here to beg for money again?"
Wendy Lim remained silent.
"Don't you know Dad is not at home?" Yolanda Lim looked at the villa.
"I can wait." Wendy Lim answered.
"Then you’ll wait in vain!" Yolanda Lim crossed her hands and maintained a condescending posture, "It’ s my Mom’s birthday, and my Dad has taken her out for a holiday to celebrate. They won't come back in a week!"
"A holiday?" Wendy Lim frowned.
That explained why she called Johnny Lim so many times but his phone was always off.
"Do you need money?" Yolanda Lim found the disappointment and anxiety in Wendy Lim’s eyes and started to scheme, "Well, if you could do something for me, I would give you money..."
Wendy Lim interrupted, "No need!"
She didn't believe that Yolanda Lim would be so kind. She supported herself with her knees to stand up and was ready to leave.
Yolanda Lim stared at Wendy Lim’s back and didn’t get angry. She took out her mobile phone and narrowed her eyes, "Hey, it's me! Do me a favor..."
Night fell and lights were turned on.
As soon as the taxi stopped, Wendy Lim opened the door and hurried into a top restaurant.
Wendy Lim felt pity for the taxi fee while she was tidying up her cuffs. She received a phone call from the company's department manager. The colleague who had accompanied the client had an urgent family issue. The department manager asked Wendy Lim to come immediately to replace the colleague, otherwise, she would be fired.
Although Wendy Lim wasn’t willing to do, she had to ask for a leave in the bar and rushed to the restaurant.
When she pushed the door open, she saw that the dishes and drinks had been placed on the table. A group of people was sitting around the table. They were all in suits and looked professional.
"Wendy, you’re late. Please propose a toast to Mr. Hogg!" The manager who was sitting near the door immediately stood up and pulled her to the seat.
Wendy Lim raised her eyes and looked at Charlie Hogg.
She hears a low, attractive male voice, "What a coincidence."
