Gilbert felt a suffocating pain in his chest. Scott immediately rushed forward to support him. “Mr. Bode, you look so pale. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“Scott, do you know what they said?”
Scott thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Bode, I think if you really love Ms. Mack, then give Mrs. Bode some money so she can live a good life. She’s had a really tough time these past two years. She’s followed you like a loyal dog, but you always choose Wendy. Anyone gets tired of that. If you don’t love her, I think you should…”
Gilbert felt a pang of heartache upon hearing this. “Who says I don’t love her? If I didn’t love her, why would I be with her and marry her? You know I never settle. Why do you misunderstand me?”
Anyone else could misunderstand him. But Scott had been by his side the longest and was the least corrupted by power.
Scott was surprised. “Isn’t that right? If you really love Mrs. Bode, why do you always side with Ms. Mack? Every holiday, even your anniversary, you spend with Ms. Mack.”
Gilbert’s expression was strange. “I’ve never celebrated our anniversary with Wendy.”
But then he remembered Sherry preparing a cake alone in the room. The words on it had melted. He didn’t know what it said.
He had asked Sherry why she was eating cake alone so late at night.
He even suspected that Sherry had found out he had bought a cake for Wendy, so she deliberately placed a melted cake in front of him, as if to say he wasn’t a good husband.
He thought Sherry was making a silent protest against him in this way.
It turned out that it was their anniversary that day. Sherry had prepared the cake in advance. But he didn’t return until the cake had melted.
What had he done?
“In the early days, Mrs. Bode never enjoyed a single day of good life. Now that she can, have you thought about what you’ve done for her?”
Gilbert wanted to say that everything he’d done was to give them a good life.
Now Sherry had everything she wanted.
“At least I’ve never shortchanged Sherry financially! She can buy whatever she wants. If she’s not happy with the house she lives in, she can move.”
If Sherry liked a luxurious house like Splendor Villa, she could design one herself. Why did she want Wendy’s?

Hearing this, Scott tilted his head. “Mr. Bode, have you forgotten? You gave the black card to Ms. Mack.”
Gilbert fell silent.
When did he give his card to Wendy?
Oh, it was during their first argument. That day he had intended to give the black card to Sherry. He ran into Wendy, who was looking for something to eat at Splendor Villa, after storming out of the house in a fit of anger.
Wendy said she didn’t like being served, which was why she was so thin at the time.
Wendy looked frail, too embarrassed to admit she had no money.
Gilbert thought of Sherry, who had everything at home yet was still dissatisfied.
Seeing Wendy’s pitiful state, he gave her his black card.
