Wendy had the box of meatballs in her hand as she stepped closer to Beryl with a sinister smile on her face. Beryl instinctively tightened his bathrobe when he saw the look on the woman's face. "What do you want to do?"
"I'm sure you know what I want, Beryl. I have a few questions, and you just need to answer me," she replied with a smile. The man found himself pressed against the window behind him as Wendy continued to speak at a slow pace. "You don't have to hide from me anymore, Beryl. You know what I'm like."
The man couldn't help but roll his eyes. This woman must be getting curious again. Well, Colton's actions are pretty conspicuous this time around, so I'm sure this woman must have realized something. But this matter… Forget it. It's no secret, anyway. "Well, it's not a big deal. The Hofstead Family has a son who has been targeting Colton and the Gardner Family because he wants to get revenge. That's it." Beryl let out an exasperated sigh before he pushed Wendy away to slip out from the corner. He let out another slow sigh of relief after that.
Wendy nodded. Her goal had been achieved, so she glanced at her surroundings before leaving the meatballs on the table. When she looked up and noticed the confusion in Beryl's eyes, she explained herself in a bashful tone. "That's for your hard work. I'll leave now." Without giving the man a chance to say much, Wendy strode out of the room and shut the door behind her. Beryl took a look at the box of meatballs. It obviously looked like leftovers that one couldn't finish after eating some of it.
"It's just my bad luck," Beryl mumbled to himself while shaking his head. He happened to feel rather hungry, so he sat down at the table. He didn't have any disposable gloves in the room, so he ended up eating the meatballs with his bare hands. The meatballs weren't too filling, and they were pretty delicious, so it only took him a few minutes to finish all of it.

The readers' comments on the novel: Right Person, Wrong Time
What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
