On a second thought...
Eris figured that it was better that Jeffrey and Brian were brothers.
In this way, Brian would hate Wendy even more.
"No...It can't be! Wendy wouldn't do that."
All of a sudden, Eris's eyes glinted as though she had come up with an evil idea.
"Brian, even I didn't know that you and Jeffrey are brothers.For sure, Wendy didn't as well.She must
have gotten close with Jeffrey for who he really is" she reasoned out with a fake smile.
Although it seemed like she was speaking for Wendy, she was doing it for her own good.
What she had said made Brian break out a cold sweat and made his expression dark and gloomy.
Meanwhile, Eris felt very proud of herself.
As far as she knew, Brian must be fuming with anger.
‘'Humph! Wendy, you want to take Brian away from me? You wish!’' Eris exclaimed inwardly.
At that moment, Wendy stood up from the couch.
"Where are you going?" Jeffery asked in a hurry.
Wendy looked at him sharply and answered, "To the bathroom!"
"Oh."
That made sense because she had been drinking beer for a while.
Without saying another word, she strode out of the room.
The KTV building was big and full of twists and turns.
Because of this, Wendy had to ask a waiter if he could lead the way for her.
The waiter agreed, so she was able to go to the toilet without a problem.
She finished her business not long after.
As soon as she walked out of the ladies room, she saw Brian standing outside as if waiting for
someone.
After washing her hands, Wendy got out without even bothering to look at him.
"Wendy!" Brian called out behind her.
Wendy paused for a second and then continued to walk.
Because she did not even look back at him, Brian strode over and grabbed her wrist.
"Let me go!"
Wendy ordered flatly.
Brian immediately did as told and said pathetically, "Wendy, do you know that you're like a hedgehog
whenever you see me? You seem as though the thorns all over your body are pointed, ready to attack.I
know I've wronged you.I may have hurt you before, but you shouldn't go too far just to take revenge on
me."
Upon hearing that, a frown appeared on Wendy's face.
She loathed Brian to the core that looking at him made her feel disgusted already.Why would she
waste her time on him?
"Brian, are you out of your mind?"
Brian was confused.
With a sigh, he walked up to Wendy and said, "Wendy, I know it was wrong of me to throw money at
you at the filming site.I swear I didn't mean that.It's just that recklessness got the better of me.I even
said a lot of awful things to you.Please forgive me."
Wendy raised her eyebrows and wondered, '’What the hell! Did he bump his head or something? At
that time, he poured out his anger on me.Why is he apologizing to me now?'’
Wendy waved her hand in dismissal and leaned against the wall.
"Brian, what are you planning this time?" she asked with disdain.
Brian heaved a sigh and answered, "Wendy, I just want to make it up to you.I promise to do anything
you ask.Judging from his tone of voice, he was sincere and earnest.
Last time, he got annoyed at Wendy, which made him say a lot of horrible things to her out of spite.
He now regretted having said that.
If only he could turn back time, he wouldn't have said any of it.
After thinking about it, he realized that it was his fault in the first place.
He should not have hidden from Wendy how much he loved Eris.He should have made it clear to her
Sooner.
What's more...
He should not have lied to Wendy that it was him who slept with her that night.
Although he did that in order to protect Eris, it made Wendy misunderstand that she was pregnant with
his child.
As a result, she became expectant to the birth of that child.
Needless to say, it was Eris and his fault.
Since he had figured it out, he did not really cause more trouble for Wendy.
Otherwise, with his power, it would be a piece of cake for him to make it impossible for Wendy to
survive in this city.
"Make it up to me?" she asked with suspicion.
"That is correct.I'll do anything you ask as long as I can do it."
Upon hearing his words, a sneer appeared at the corners of Wendy's mouth.
"What if I ask you to break up with Eris?" she asked cunningly.
Brian's face darkened at once.
"Wendy..."
"You said it yourself you'd do anything I say.But now that I proposed one, you refused.You're
interesting."
"Wendy"
Wendy sneered and interrupted him, "In reality, this so- called compensation you're offering me is just
charity that doesn't affect your and Eris's interests.Guess what? I don't need any of it! Just keep the hell
away from me.That's the best thing you can ever give.You disgust me."
"Wendy, I know you haven't forgotten about me.Just admit it.Why do you have to lie?"
Wendy was taken aback by Brian's audacity that her mouth fell open.
‘'What the hell?! Oh my God!' Wendy could not help but scoff.That was the funniest thing she had ever
heard in her life! "Brian..."
She wanted to say something but, for some reason, she trailed off in the end.
"Say it,"
Brian urged.
To his surprise, Wendy patted him on the shoulder and said, "I advise you to see a
psychiatrist.Paranoia is curable.Perhaps you can still recover from it."
Now, it was Brian's turn to be speechless.
Upon saying that, Wendy turned around and left.
It was only after a few seconds that he came back to his senses.
He strode to catch up with her and asked, "Then explain to me why you're so close with my brother."
What Brian had said made Wendy stop in her tracks.
If Brian was not paying attention, he would have bumped into her.
Fortunately, he did not.
At that moment, the two were very close.
So close that Brian could smell the fragrance of her body wash.
His heart pounded in his chest as he smelled the familiar scent on her body.
To be honest, Wendy had changed drastically over the years.
Today, she was wearing a white shirt with a stand-up collar, matched with a white skirt with red and
yellow patterns.
Her long hair fell on her shoulders, and her makeup was light, which accentuated her natural beauty.
She had a voluptuous body that even though her shirt was buttoned up, she still looked alluring.
Brian believed that she still had feelings for him, so he was complacent.
"What did you just say?"
"Wendy, stop playing innocent.I know you're just pretending to be intimate with my brother to piss me
off."
"Stop! Stop!"
Wendy interrupted him, "Are you crazy?! Who even is your brother?"
At that moment, Brian realized that the astonishment on Wendy's face was genuine.
With his eyebrows furrowed, he asked, "Oh.You don't know that Jeffrey is..."
Before Brian could finish his words, Jeffrey, who was standing at the corner at the end of the corridor,
yelled at the top of his lungs to interrupt Brian.
He was afraid that Brian would reveal their relationship to Wendy.
"There you are!"
Jeffrey rushed over hurriedly, grabbed Wendy's wrist, and pulled her forward.
"Wendy, Director Carter is looking for you.He said he needed to talk to you about something.Let's go
see him right now," he urged "What?"
"Don't ask any more questions.Let's go."
Since Jeffrey was tall and strong, Wendy could not do anything but let him pull her away.
Behind them, Brian shouted, "Bruce, stop!"
Jeffrey froze all of a sudden.
Wendy blinked and looked at Jeffrey in confusion.
"How did he know your real name? It looks like that he knows who you really are," she concluded.
Jeffrey's face turned as white as a sheet, and he stammered, "W-who knows.Forget it.Let's just go."
"Brian mentioned his brother just now.Is it you?" Wendy asked again.
Shocked, Jeffrey tripped and almost fell.
Wendy did not have to hear his response to find out the truth.
To calm herself down, she took a deep breath...
And again...
Finally, she was now calm and composed.
However, she still had to lean against the wall to support herself.
What she had just found out was quite difficult to process.
"Wendy, let me explain."
"Shut up."
Wendy seemed to have used up all her energy just trying to process everything.
‘'Jeffrey and Brian are brothers.Ryan is Jeffrey's uncle, so that means, he's Brian's uncle as
well.Damon it! This is so...unbelievable!'’
