"What's wrong?" Wendy asked in confusion.
It seemed that the nanny didn't want to say more, so Wendy nodded at the nanny and went back to the kitchen.
Wendy didn't know what had happened. She was already halfway up the stairs. For a while, she didn't know whether she should continue to climb up or temporarily go downstairs.
Just as he was hesitating, a loud noise suddenly came from the second floor.
It was as if something had smashed into the ground.
Wendy couldn't help but stride up two steps. The sound came from the study, accompanied by Johnny's angry voice and a sharp middle- aged female voice, mixed with another sobbing young female voice.
All of a sudden, she understood why the nanny suggested that she should come up later.
Wendy put her hand on the handrail of the staircase and didn't go any further. She couldn't be mistaken; the two female voices in the study were from Helen and Yolanda.
Wendy was surprised that Helen would never show her true self in front of Johnny in the past. She would always put on the mask of a gentle wife at any time. Wendy didn't expect that Helen would no longer scruple to break up with Johnny.
Although Wendy felt very happy, she didn't want to eavesdrop on others, then turned around and wanted to go downstairs first.
Just after hearing something, she stopped suddenly in her tracks.
"Johnny Lim, I'm telling you, don't even think about a divorce! If I'm going to hell, I'm dragging you with me! You want to get rid of me and my daughter? You're just dreaming! If it weren't for the good daughter you raised, how would we have ended up like this, and how would Urn's Group have gone bankrupt!"
In the study, Helen said as she threw the things on the desk onto the floor like a shrew.
"Helen Lee! Don't you, the culprit, know exactly why Lim's Group went bankrupt?" Johnny was pointing at her and his hand was shaking, "If you hadn't gone to Macau for years to gamble behind my back, and even embezzled the company's funds to cover your gambling debts, how would the company have gone bankrupt? And you have the nerve to say it here! Since you and I have been married for so many years, I've done the right thing by not taking legal action against you. You and Yolanda, mother and daughter, brought this on yourselves, not Wendy!"
When Helen [Lee] heard this, she was not happy, "What do you mean? Are you now regretting that you let us in and kicked that little bitch out?"
"Yes, it's a pity that I'm to blame for not seeing your true face earlier!" Johnny shook his head with a wry smile. "Johnny, don't forget that our child died because of her!" Helen reminded him, gritting her teeth.
"Everything has a cause and effect." Johnny heaved a long sigh.
When Helen heard what he was referring to, she completely exploded. She couldn't lift the wooden desk, so she lifted the chair next to her and smashed it against the wall, "Johnny Lim, how could you say that! I have given birth to your child and took care of you for so many years, and I also contribute to this family!"
"Ah, now you're acting like you're remorseful, even though I was the one who seduced you in the first place, but it was you who came to me later on your own accord! Did I force you to cheat on your wife after marrying her?"

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
