<\/div>\n

Claire and her family enjoyed a delightful dinner at Kempinski while Wendell sulked at home, feeling deeply dejected. He had just seen a post on the official Emgrand Group page that left him feeling even worse. To his shock, Claire had managed to secure a sixty-million-dollar contract in just half an hour! The harsh and scornful comments he had made about her yesterday now echoed in his mind, leaving him utterly embarrassed\u2014what a slap in the face it was!<\/p>\n

At that moment, Wendell received a call from Harold, who was venting about his own frustrations. \u201cHey, Wendell! What the hell is going on? I set you up to pursue my cousin, but you turned your back on me and helped her land the Emgrand contract. How could you do this to me?\u201d he complained as soon as Wendell answered.<\/p>\n

Wendell shook his head in disbelief. \u201cWhat are you talking about? I didn\u2019t do anything!\u201d<\/p>\n

Harold pressed on, \u201cWendell, be honest with me. Did you sleep with my cousin?\u201d<\/p>\n

Wendell felt a surge of embarrassment wash over him. Denying it would mean admitting his own incompetence, which he couldn\u2019t bear.<\/p>\n

Instead, he mumbled sheepishly, \u201cYeah. Harold, I\u2019m sorry; I\u2019ll make it up to you whenever I can.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew it!\u201d Harold sighed, then quickly asked, \u201cWendell, my cousin was a virgin, right? I can\u2019t imagine she\u2019d ever slept with that loser. You really hit the jackpot, you lucky dog!\u201d<\/p>\n

Wendell gasped, excitement bubbling up inside him. So, Claire Wilson was still a virgin! This was an opportunity\u2014he could spread the word that he had been with Claire, which might drive a wedge between her and her husband.<\/p>\n

With a sly grin, he giggled and told Harold, \u201cYes, your cousin was a virgin. She was so tight and cute I just couldn\u2019t resist! Hahaha!\u201d<\/p>\n

Harold\u2019s voice turned bitter as he responded, \u201cJust don\u2019t forget about me when you start reaping the benefits, okay, buddy?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry!\u201d Wendell replied casually.<\/p>\n

Just as he hung up, his father called, sounding frantic. \u201cWendell, we have a serious problem! The Emgrand Group has canceled all their projects with us! Did you offend anyone recently?\u201d<\/p>\n

Wendell fell into stunned silence. Was this really happening? Did it mean his family was about to face a significant loss?<\/p>\n

He hurriedly asked, \u201cDad, what\u2019s going on? No, I didn\u2019t offend anyone! Did you?\u201d<\/p>\n

His father sounded equally bewildered. \u201cNeither did I! I\u2019ve been stuck in the office and haven\u2019t met anyone, let alone offend someone\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHey, Dad, could it be that Emgrand\u2019s new chairman is shaking things up after taking over?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes! That\u2019s it!\u201d Mr. Jones exclaimed, suddenly realizing. \u201cI haven\u2019t had a chance to meet the new chairman since his appointment. I\u2019ve talked to Doris Young a few times, but she mentioned that the chairman doesn\u2019t see visitors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat should we do now?\u201d Wendell asked.<\/p>\n

Mr. Jones fell silent as he contemplated the situation, then said, \u201cOh, wait! The Wilson family is hosting a banquet tomorrow night, and they said they\u2019ve invited the chairman. We need to find a way to meet him!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlright!\u201d Wendell agreed eagerly. \u201cLet\u2019s go together tomorrow!\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

The following day, the entire Wilson family was ecstatic, celebrating what they considered a momentous occasion. The news of their victory with the Emgrand Group contract and the chairman\u2019s invitation to their banquet had spread like wildfire throughout Aurous Hill!<\/p>\n

For the banquet, Charlie chose his finest suit and arrived at the hotel where the event was being held. Stepping out of the car at the entrance, he was halted when a Porsche screeched to a stop right in front of him. Wendell Jones emerged from the vehicle, looking sharp in an expensive suit and sporting a slick hairstyle. A waiter promptly approached to greet him.<\/p>\n

Wendell noticed Charlie and a look of disdain crossed his face as he scanned him. With a sly smile, he remarked, \u201cWhere did you find that counterfeit suit? You look like a dog trying to play dress-up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie replied flatly, \u201cWhat does it matter to you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Wendell smirked, a hint of mockery in his tone. \u201cYou may not be my concern, but your wife is a whole different story\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie frowned and asked, \u201cWhat story?\u201d<\/p>\n

Onlookers began to take notice, intrigued by their exchange. Rumors had begun circulating since the previous night, suggesting that Claire had secured the contract due to her intimate connection with Wendell. After all, how else could Emgrand Group work with her if it was based solely on her and the Wilson Group\u2019s capabilities? It seemed plausible enough.<\/p>\n

As the crowd gathered, Wendell raised his voice, \u201cDo you really believe Claire could win the Emgrand contract on her own?\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie glared at Wendell, unamused. \u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n

Wendell\u2019s smile widened into a cocky grin. \u201cBecause of me, obviously! Claire is my woman now, and I pulled every string I could to help her succeed in the negotiations! If you have any sense, you should divorce her as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although many had guessed as much, they couldn\u2019t help but gasp when Wendell stated it so boldly. It was true! Claire had won the contract by sleeping with Wendell Jones!<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of you?\u201d Charlie chuckled darkly. \u201cWho do you think you are?\u201d<\/p>\n
