Chapter 850 A Rude Wife
How could a woman from a rural area, carning only a little over three thousand a month, afford to pay two hundred thousand? Furthermore, how could she have the connections to arrange for her son to study abroad?
Perhaps realizing that his lie was falling apart, Mr. Whitlock quickly implicated Heather and Mr. Zeller. “They’re conspiring! Heather and this Mr. Zeller are in cahoots! It’s them!
“I don’t know this young lady.” Mr. Zeller crossed his arms, leaning against a distant pillar, calmly observing Mr. Whitlock’s performance. “Mr. Whitlock, you took our money. Why are you trying to shift the blame onto others? Ms. Weiss will be displeased if she hears this. Then, your son will lose his chance to study abroad.”
Mr. Whitlock froze. He looked at Mr. Zeller before turning to Cherise again. “Cherise, I can explain…”
Cherise couldn’t be bothered with him. She helped Heather to her feet, saying, “If anything happens to Heather, I will hold your entire family responsible!”
After saying that, Cherise immediately grabbed Heather and left the room. By now, Heather’s face was red and swollen.
Once Cherise left, Mr. Zeller continued to lean against a pillar and looked at Mr. Whitlock with disdain. “What’s Cherise’s background? Why did you suddenly turn against us and use another young lady as a scapegoat?”
Mr. Whitlock rolled his eyes and looked at Mr. Zeller as if he were stupid. “Don’t you investigate a person’s identity before you set them up? When you brought up Mr. Lenoir and Ms. Weiss having lunch together, I thought it meant you had won over Mr. Lenoir. You almost ruined me!”
Mr. Whitlock took a deep breath. He felt a chill as he recalled what had just happened. He foolishly thought these people had driven a wedge between Damien and Cherise. That was why he dared to slander Cherise.
But in reality…
While Mr. Zeller and Mr. Whitlock were talking, someone knocked on the door and opened it. It was Damien in a black suit and a woman in a long white dress.
“Mr. Whitlock.” Damien looked at Mr. Whitlock indifferently. “I’m here to pick up my wife.”
Mr. Whitlock was stunned before explaining quickly, “Um… a colleague got injured just now, so Dr. Shaw took her to the hospital.”
After saying that, he looked at Damien, trying to win some favor. “Dr. Shaw is truly a kind person.”
Damien frowned. “She went to the hospital with a colleague?”
Mr. Whitlock nodded, “Yes, a colleague got scalded…”
“Hmm.” Standing beside Damien, Yolanda interrupted Mr. Whitlock before he could finish speaking, “Why is Mrs. Lenoir like this? She told Mr. Lenoir to pick her up with me, but when we arrived, she left without greeting us.”
After saying that, Yolanda turned to Damien indignantly. “Is your wife always this rude?”
coldly. “My wife must have had an emergency. You However, Damien looked at Yolanda haven’t met her or understood the situation, yet you rashly accuse her of being rude. Did the Weiss family teach you to slander others this way?”
Yolanda did not expect Damien to admonish her. Her expression was torn between shock and embarrassment. She did not know what to say.
Ultimately, Mr. Zeller came to her rescue. “Yolanda may not be aware of the situation. Her upbringing taught her to think that people who break their promises are rude. We can’t blame her for thinking this way, can we?”
