There Was A Variable
The other employees outside still treated the news as true and exchanged opinions about her.
“Previously there were rumors that President Lawrence refused to marry President Fuller and kept
dragging the wedding ceremony. Who knew he was this caring behind closed doors?”
“President Lawrence is so handsome and caring. I want a boyfriend like him too!”
When she heard the chatter, Wendy‘s expression changed for the worse. Her palms almost bled from
her clenched fists. She then forced herself to suppress her anger. “Don‘t discuss unimportant matters
during working hours. All of you, get back to work!”
After saying this, Wendy gave the chattering employees a cold look, turned around without looking
back, and strode away. She could not take it anymore! The more those people talked, the more her
temper shot up!
The moment she left the office, Wendy drove straight home.
At the Fuller family‘s villa, Magdalene and Henry were sitting in the living room when they suddenly
saw their daughter storming in. They were both startled.
“What‘s the matter, Wendy? What happened in the office that made you unhappy,” Henry thought it was
merely a workplace matter. As he was about to advise her, his daughter interrupted in a rage, “The
office? All you know about is the office! Don‘t you both wish that I‘ll get married into the Lawrence
family? How could you not even know what Byron has been doing all this while?”
Hearing this, Magdalene and Henry‘s confidence sank slightly.
Magdalene frowned and asked, “This is about Byron? Didn‘t Aunt Melody already spread the news
about you both getting married? What are you still worried about?”
As soon as she finished talking, Wendy was seen stomping big steps toward them in her heels. She
then threw her phone onto the couch. “See for yourselves!”
With that, both of them looked at each other and picked up the phone in confusion. Seeing what was
on the screen, both their expressions darkened.
They usually read news about the economy and rarely paid attention to these media pieces. It was their
first time learning about this when they saw the news regarding Byron caring for his fiancée last night.
They both knew that their daughter was well at home last night. Besides, they could clearly tell that the
silhouette in the pictures was not their daughter. “Who‘s this woman in the photos?” Magdalene
frowned as she asked. Wendy was so angry that she was not breathing properly. She gave a cold stare
at the phone screen. She refused to say a thing.
Magdalene waited a long while for her answer and asked again, “Who‘s this woman? The Jacobs girl?”
She could not think of anyone else besides Rosalie! Upon hearing her mother mention that b*tch,
Wendy replied with gritted teeth as she was fuming with rage, “Yes, it‘s that b*tch!”
That woman had even embarrassed her at the birthday party! Even though the news of her wedding
with Byron had already been spread, this b*tch was still shamelessly leaning toward him!
It was a good thing the photos that the media took were unclear, so no one could tell that it was not her.
Otherwise, who knew how the world would mock her again?! The thought of this made Wendy‘s
expression turn green. Both hands hanging by her sides were clenched into fists. Her fingernails were
almost embedded in the flesh of her palms. Even though Magdalene got some hints earlier, listening to
the confirmation from her daughter made her expression turn utterly sour. She thought that Byron and
Wendy‘s wedding was sealed when the news of it got out there. She did not think that there would be a
variable!
Byron‘s relationship with that woman was this close!
“Don‘t get too worked up first. Since the internet thinks that this is you, then we‘ll just act dumb!” A long
while later, Magdalene looked up and calmly ordered her daughter. Wendy could not possibly expose
herself, so she had no choice but to agree.
