After being left by her fiancé, Gerald, Wendy found herself in a relationship with Kenneth. However, Kenneth viewed her merely as a tool and a plaything, someone he could easily pass along to Jeffrey. One couldn’t help but wonder—who would Jeffrey hand her off to once he lost interest?
At this moment, Wendy’s thoughts drifted to her cousin, Claire.
Claire had never been particularly concerned about men. In fact, she had never experienced a romantic relationship prior to marrying Charlie without a second thought. While Charlie might have been a worthless man, he would never allow her to be treated in such a degrading way.
In contrast, Wendy couldn’t help but feel that her own situation was far from winning.
Jeffrey wrapped his arms around Wendy, a wry smile on his face as he addressed Kenneth. “Don’t worry, Kenneth. I’ll get the prescription for the medicine to restore your manhood as soon as it’s ready.”
“That’s great!” Kenneth replied, relief washing over him. “I’ll wait for your good news with ease!”
Jeffrey nodded and glanced at his watch, feeling a mix of anxiety and excitement about the time he would spend alone with Wendy. He turned to Kenneth with a smile, saying, “Kenneth, it’s getting late. Why don’t we call it a night?”
Kenneth could sense Jeffrey’s eagerness to be with Wendy and felt a twinge of envy. Nevertheless, he responded graciously, smiling as he said, “Alright then! Let’s call it a night. You two can leave first!”
Then, looking at Wendy, Kenneth instructed, “Wendy, make sure you satisfy and serve Mr. Weaver well. Do you understand?”
Wendy nodded, replying softly, “Yes, I understand…”
That night, Wendy became Jeffrey’s lover.
Despite her reluctance to spend the night with someone new, Jeffrey was thoroughly impressed and delighted by her performance.
In fact, that night, Wendy made Jeffrey feel youthful again. After their intimate encounter, he embraced her and said, “Wendy, you don’t need to stay with that old man, Kenneth, anymore. Just follow me, and I promise you a good life.”
Wendy felt a glimmer of hope after hearing Jeffrey’s words.
If Jeffrey could offer her a better life, perhaps it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to stay close to him. Although he wasn’t as wealthy as Kenneth, Jeffrey was undeniably younger and didn’t seem like the type to easily discard her.

The following morning, news about the disappearance of the father and son from the Grant family continued to circulate.
The Grant family had raised the cash reward to ten million dollars, attracting many young men and troublemakers on the streets who were eager to find the father and son, dreaming of striking it rich overnight.
Unfortunately, the father and son had vanished without a trace.
After breakfast, Claire headed to her studio, while Jacob attended a meeting for his Antique Association, having spent time studying antiques with some experts. Meanwhile, Elaine, who had been terrified the previous day, put on heavy makeup to play mahjong today.
At home alone, Charlie was mopping the floor when he received a phone call from Jasmine, the eldest daughter of the Moore family.
As he continued to mop, Charlie answered the phone.
Jasmine’s gentle voice came through, asking respectfully, “Mr. Wade, are you at home now?”
“Yes,” Charlie replied, curiosity piqued. “Are you looking for me?”
