Before Sally and Jessica could talk much, Oliver walked over and said, "We have to go back first. She has been here for a long time. She needs some rest."
Since Oliver said so, Sally didn't insist.
Jessica smiled apologetically. "We'll talk another day."
As soon as they left, Sally said to Martin, "Oliver has really become a faithful husband. I'll see how long he can last."
Martin, who had just taken a sip of red wine, was still enjoying the taste. After hearing Sally's words, he laughed and the wine almost shoot out of his mouth.
He really didn't expect Oliver to change his character one day. In the past, Oliver didn't even want to look at women.
Back in the United States, Martin and Carl had thought Oliver was gay.
But it turned out that they were wrong.
After a while, Scott walked over alone.
He looked around and smiled. "There are only people from Lambola City now."
Martin said, "I'm half from Lambola City. Sally is half from Birmingham. In that case, half of us are from Lambola City."
Sally was almost stunned by him. "Stop talking nonsense. I have nothing to do with you."
Wendy continued, "Miss Saletta, you're so beautiful and charming. Many people are willing to make friends with you."
"Really?" Sally picked up the red wine from the table and took a sip. "Some friends are very dangerous. The more you trust him, the easier for him to hurt you. So, I like to be alone now."
Scott and Martin heard it clearly.
Wendy continued, "Miss Saletta, you need to move on. It makes sense that once bitten, twice shy. But there's no need to be so cautious."
"Miss Wackerle, there's no need for you to worry about me." She finished the wine in one go. "The wine is really delicious."
Scott looked at Sally who was a little tipsy and asked, "Sally, are you drunk? Let me take you back."
"Mr. Deerman is here. She doesn't need you." Wendy's smile was a little stiff. Then she suddenly remembered what had happened to Mr. Zamani just now.
She knew that Sally's grandfather was a famous master of penmanship in Birmingham.
The reason why Sally came to Birmingham was to turn to her grandfather.
Later, she befriended Alice and learned a little about Sally from Alice.
Although Sally and Alice were cousins, Alice did not know Sally very well and did not treat Sally as a thorn in the flesh.
It was mainly because Sally was born in a big family in Lambola City. Her father was the famous tycoon in the transportation of Lambola City, and she was the only daughter in the family.
She worked in the Zamani Group and was always in charge of the departments that spent a lot of money. She knew herself well and never dabbled in the core business of the Zamani Group, so she was also at ease in Birmingham.
In public, Sally greeted Henry as Mr. Zamani, so few people knew that Henry was actually her grandfather.
Wendy was afraid that Scott would not listen to her at all. If he really wanted to send Sally back, she would feel embarrassed. After all, she was Scott's legitimate fiancée.
Wendy suddenly thought that she could let Sally know about Henry's illness so that Sally wouldn't go home immediately.
She didn't speak to Sally directly. Instead, she said to Scott, "Mr. Scott, Aaron's grandfather fainted by accident. Let's go upstairs and see him."
