Chapter 3 Chapter 3

Wendy Lim and Charlie Hogg met again in just a few hours.

It turned out that he was the important guest mentioned by people in the Lim family.

Just like her, there was a shock arose in the man's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. He looked down at Wendy Lim, and the sharp lines of his chin did not change at all. He looked like he was the most ruthless god in the world.

Wendy Lim did not look at him again and would not expect him to help her either.

Yolanda Lim, who was standing next to the man, squatted in front of Wendy Lim and said with innocent-looking, "My dear sister, are you all right? Why do you make Dad so mad every time you come here? You know that Dad has high blood pressure."

"Dad, please don't be angry. Take it easy. Charlie is still here."

Yolanda Lim and Helen Lee were birds of a feather. When they were with Johnny Lim, they always pretended to be a great wife and a good daughter, and spoke ill of Wendy Lim.

Johnny Lim cooled down a little bit and explained:" Charlie, I'm sorry to let you get involved in this annoying situation."

Charlie Hogg sneered with an indifferent face as if he didn't care about other people's family issues at all.

Yolanda Lim took out a small pile of cash from her wallet and said: "My dear sister, I only have 400 bucks which saved from last month! Although our dad is rich, you know, I never spend money casually!"

Bullsh*t!Who would believe her words?

"Wendy! You should leave! Now!" Johnny Lim flared out.

She would be beaten again if she did not leave.

Wendy Lim didn't want to show any more fragility before the man. She grasped the 400 bucks, slapped away Yolanda's hands, gritted her teeth and stood up, then walked out of the villa step by step steadily.

Helen Lim, who was standing in the back, shouted grumpily:" Where is the housekeeper? Come and change the carpet! It's disgusting!"

It had a long way to go from the villa to the bus station.

Wendy Lim put the 400 bucks grasped tightly in her hand into the pocket. She did not choose to throw the money to Helen and Yolanda's faces. The reason was not her timidity, but these were the money of the Lim family and the Lim family owed her a lot.

"Toot――"

She turned around and saw a white Land Rover was following her.

After recognizing the person inside the car, Wendy Lim walked faster. However, the car sped up and then slammed the brakes on in front of her.

The man had already opened the door and came over before Wendy Lim bypassed it.

From the curve of his lips as well as his eyes, Wendy Lim could understand what he thought, "If you know you can't get what you want, why not keep the 3,000 bucks?"

"Take it." Charlie Hogg handed her an ice pack.

Wendy Lim found it was a medical ice pack. She didn't take it because she couldn't figure out his intention. Then, he threw the ice pack into Wendy Lim's arms directly. Wendy picked it up and put it on her right forehead while looking at him warily.

Charlie Hogg took out his right hand which was hidden behind him. There was a medicine case which was so flat that there was only one pill in it. He took out a bottle of water and said to Wendy: "Take the medicine."

"I'll watch you take it," he added.

Only then did Wendy Lim understand his real purpose.

"I don't need it."

She only took the pill and swallowed it.

The pill slipped into her throat and made her feel painful, but she didn't show any discomfort. She looked up and found that he was staring at her with narrowed eyes.

She turned her face to another side.

Charlie Hogg shook his car key and said: "Where are you going? I can send you."

"I don't need it." Wendy Lim repeated the same words.

Then he got into his car and left without hesitation.
