What‘s The Matter?
Byron‘s stern and icy tone made Wendy‘s heart tighten. The little hope she had just now disappeared.
She wanted to get dressed up to meet him, but Byron said to meet in half an hour. Wendy just grabbed
her purse and went out in a hurry.
Her house was a long way from the restaurant. Her driver was going at lightning speed for her to arrive
on time.
When Wendy entered, Byron was already waiting for her at the seat by the window.
Hearing movement at the door, the man raised his eyes and looked over. His expression was colder
than the night outside the window.
“Byron, what’s the matter?” Wendy felt inexplicably guilty and carefully sat down opposite him while
clutching her purse. Byron stared at her for a few seconds. The atmosphere around him was terrifyingly
silent.
Wendy clenched her fingers nervously and forced a calm smile on her face.
“You sent Estie to school this morning.” After a long while, he spoke sternly and coldly. Wendy nodded
quickly.
“Mrs. Lawrence asked me to help, so I went.” Hearing this, he sneered coldly.
“My mother also asked you to go to the principal and expel those two children using the Lawrence
family‘s name?” Wendy did not expect him to find out about it so quickly. Her face turned pale, and her
mind was racing. She hastily found an excuse for herself.
“I just… When I sent Estie to school, I happened to see the two boys bullying Estie. I could never let
that happen to her, so I went to the principal.” After speaking, she looked at the person opposite her
uneasily and emphasized, “Byron, how could I just allow others to bully Estie? I‘m sure you
understand.”
Byron furrowed his brows slightly. “I understand, but I also want to know, where did this so called
bullying incident happen?”
“At the gate of… the kindergarten.” Wendy‘s voice trembled slightly. She lifted her gaze only to see the
face of the man opposite her getting colder. “Fine, I‘ll have someone check the surveillance. If it‘s true,
it‘s all good. If not…”
“I remembered it wrong!” Hearing that Byron wanted to check the surveillance, Wendy hurriedly
interrupted him and fumbled with her words, “It wasn‘t in the kindergarten, it was in… in the… erm…”
After stammering for a while, she could not come up with anything. There was cold sweat on her
forehead.
Byron looked at her clumsy performance with cold eyes and did not wait long for a reply. His patience
gradually exhausted, and his voice was full of impatience. “Wendy, I know you‘ve
used the Lawrence family‘s name for your benefit on many occasions, but I never wanted to pursue it
further. But because of your behavior this time, Estie had a complete meltdown. If she doesn’t recover
from this, don‘t blame me for disregarding our years of friendship!”
Wendy saw the stone–cold gaze in Byron‘s eyes. She shuddered and quickly lowered her head without
doubting the authenticity of his words. After speaking, Byron gave her the cold shoulder, got up, and
left.
“Byron!” Wendy still wanted to plead her case. Byron turned around and faced her while
expressionless.
“What else do you have to say? You‘d better have a good reason.”
Wendy‘s lips trembled, and in the end, she bowed in deep shame.
As long as Byron checked the kindergarten surveillance, her lies would be exposed no matter what she
said.
When she looked up again, Byron had left. The panic on Wendy‘s face slowly turned into boiling
resentment. She never imagined that things would turn out like this! Byron actually found out what she
had done!
Again, it was because of that little brat! What a hassle!
She should have beaten that little brat to death in the morning!
