“I don’t have much information on him either. Everything I know is from what Waylon told me, Wendy said casually. “This guy is mysterious, rarely shows up in the country, but he has a private residence in Gennemont–over in Goldenville.”
Others couldn’t tell, but Chase immediately saw the slyness hidden in Wendy’s eyes.
That part about not knowing much was a total lic,
Hardly anyone knew Mario Harrison lived in Goldenville. Even Henry had spent a long time trying to dig up something, but found nothing.
How did Wendy find out so easily?
As the saying went, the enemy of her enemy had become her friend.
When she thought back to her first meeting with Mario even Wendy herself found the whole situation a bit surreal.
“Speaking of it,” Wendy said, clearing her throat lightly. I only met Mario by chance at a business banquet. At the time, Mario was introduced as my friend’s… boyfriend. So I believe he did it on purpose.”
“That makes sense,” Zynn said, spreading his hands. “If Mario’s as complicated as you say, it’s only natural he’d find a way to get back into the Harrison family. Relying on so–called uncles and aunts wouldn’t cut it. Henry’s parents or his siblings? Even less likely. He had no choice but to rely on himself.”
That meant Mario’s situation was probably even tougher than they had thought.
Sammy had finished organizing the table and walked over to Wendy, holding out the file for her to sign the conclusions from today’s meeting. She paused behind Wendy and asked curiously, “You’ve never mentioned this guy before.”
Wendy lowered her head and signed her name smoothly, like it was nothing.
“That’s because he’s in a relationship with the president of Typhoon Corp–Caesar,” she said.
Everyone in the room froze.
Even Chase, sitting right next to Wendy, looked shocked.
He had only just heard the name Caesar today. All he knew was that Caesar had grown up with Wendy, maybe even attended her wedding. Now he suddenly found out that Caesar was the boyfriend of Mario Harrison, the legitimate heir of the Harrison family.
That couldn’t be right.
Wendy touched her forehead lightly, but there was a faint smile on her lips. “Yeah, that’s right. Let’s not talk about their relationship for now. The key point is Mario’s identity. As long as Mario exists, no matter how badly Henry and Larry fight, neither of them can be the rightful heir.”
Mario was the real threat.
And now, that threat had become their ally.
