\u201cI sold everything I had to send her to school and poured all my money into getting her to the big city, but now she won\u2019t even acknowledge me. She said I embarrassed her and told me to go back to the countryside\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
George sobbed so pitifully that he almost convinced himself. His performance deserved an Oscar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The reporters clicked their cameras non\u2013stop, eager to capture the drama. The story of a father abandoned by his foster daughter was the kind of hot topic that guaranteed a juicy headline. They all hoped to break the story first. The reporters couldn\u2019t help but feel sympathy for George. They all began to criticize Wendy, \u201cHow could Wendy be so heartless?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI never believed anyone was born evil in this world\u2013until Wendy came along!\u201d one of them exclaimed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny handed George a tissue, his voice filled with anger. \u201cThe whole reason we\u2019re holding this press conference today is to expose Wendy for what she really is. Too many people still don\u2019t know the truth about her. She can\u2019t just abandon her foster father like this\u2013she has to take responsibility for him!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
George wiped his face with the tissue, a sly smile creeping across his face. Even with Stanley protecting her, he was sure Wendy wouldn\u2019t be able to escape him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian and Jessica exchanged a knowing glance, both of them smug and satisfied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harry hadn\u2019t shown up. He figured this press conference would be enough to deal with Wendy. He had other matters to attend to with some executives and had headed to a fancy hotel for dinner. All he had to do now was wait for Lilian\u2019s good news.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian put on a pained expression and spoke with feigned regret, \u201cI owe you all an apology. Wendy is my daughter, and it\u2019s because I failed as a mother that she\u2019s caused such a negative impact. I\u2019m not a good mother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica immediately stepped in to defend her. \u201cMom, it\u2019s not your fault.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The reporters quickly rallied to Lilian\u2019s side. \u201cMrs. Crone, you\u2019re a great mother. Just look at how well you raised Jessica.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Crone, Wendy is just a born troublemaker. No matter how you raise her, it\u2019s hopeless.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian smiled slyly to herself, knowing she\u2019d just used Wendy\u2019s downfall to build her own image as the perfect mother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then Benny said, \u201cThe press conference has already started, yet Wendy hasn\u2019t shown up. I bet she\u2019s too scared to face us. She\u2019s guilty, that\u2019s why!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before anyone could react, a clear, calm voice cut through the tension. \u201cMr. Gondale, are you talking about me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone turned to see Wendy standing at the door, a graceful figure that seemed to glow. She had come.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And she had come alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy walked confidently toward the front, and the reporters quickly made way for her. She stood directly in front of Benny.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny scowled. \u201cWendy, how dare you show up here!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy raised an eyebrow, her expression both sharp and playful. \u201cMr. Gondale, you seem confused. Do you want me to come or not? Which is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou little\u2026\u201d Benny was furious, his face turning red. Wendy had managed to get under his skin time and time\u00a0<\/p>\n

again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian smiled, a sense of satisfaction washing over her. Werkly showing up was perfect. She quickly signaled George with a look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
George reached out to grab Wendy, calling out, \u201cWendy\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy turned to him, her eyes as cold as ice. \u201cDon\u2019t touch me with your filthy hands. I can\u2019t stand it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
George froze, taken aback.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lilian immediately fanned the flames of emotion. \u201cWendy, at a time like this, how can you still be so cruel to your foster father?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica added, \u201cWendy, you need to apologize to him right now and take him back home with you.\u2018 Benny snapped, \u201cWendy, you\u2019re awful!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c1\u00a0<\/p>\n
The reporters swarmed around, their cameras flashing. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen it all with our own eyes! Wendy, your true face is hideous. We\u2019re exposing you right now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley and Nathan had just entered the room when they saw the chaos. Wendy was being cornered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
