---- Chapter 123 Zelda remained quiet as Jenna led Ethan out of the house. Watching the two of them walk away, Zelda could only suppress the rising sorrow in her chest and look away. After getting into the car, Ethan turned back to glance toward the villa. A look of deep concern had replaced his earlier expression. "Auntie Jenna, was I too mean just now? I said such harsh words.

Mommy taught me never to speak to Zelda like that." His remorseful expression was touching , but Jenna merely smiled faintly. "Ethan, you're not mean at all. You only pretended to be mean. just now to get your mommy to come home sooner, didn't you?" Ethan gave an unenthusiastic nod. Although he got to speak to Wendy today, he still didn't feel happy for some reason. Jenna gently stroked his soft cheek. "Don't you worry. Once your mommy comes back, you can explain everything to her.

If she really loves you, she'll be sure to forgive you." Hearing this, Ethan felt better and turned to her. "Mommy loves mea lot, so she'll definitely understand and forgive me!" Jenna smiled. "There you go." ---- As the car headed toward the city, Ethan soon forgot everything that had just happened. At the police station, Wendy stared at the aggressive man in front of her with a frown, feeling a headache coming on.

"Twas waiting at the red light when she suddenly floored the gas and slammed into me. Anyone who has eyes can tell how expensive my car is, right?" Bryan Webster was a man who appeared to be in his early 30s and spoke with a strong garlic odor coming from his mouth. What made it worse was that the passenger with him wasn't a stranger. It was none other than Elias, the same man who had parted ways with Wendy on bad terms not long ago. Standing beside Bryan, Elias stared at Wendy.

"Wendy, this can still be settled privately . We don't have to drag the police into this." He hadn't said a word the whole way here, yet he was choosing to say this now that they were already here? Wendy gave him an indifferent glance. "The matter will be handled however the police see fit." "You've been stubborn ever since you were a little kid.

You have me here-do you really want to wait until you're facing charges before you regret it?" "Why would I regret it?" Wendy asked coldly, looking at Elias' ---- concerned frown. "If you really wanted to help, would you even need to ask me that?" Elias was momentarily stunned, her response clearly hitting where it hurt. His face darkened. "You said such harsh things to me last time, and I'm still upset about it. Is asking for an apology too much?" "Tt is too much," Wendy replied irritably.

"I'm not going to talk to you about unrelated matters right now. I'm busy." As Elias didn't expect her to act this way, his face grew even darker. Seeing the shift in his expression, Bryan beside him started to cause a scene. "You're the one who can't drive straight -how dare you give us attitude?" Wendy wasn't the least bit intimidated by the fact that Bryan was a man. Instead, she looked directly at him.

"T've already told you-once the traffic police determines who's at fault, I'll take responsibility and compensate accordingly. Besides, my attitude isn't even directed at you. If you don't want me to speak, tell the guy next to you to shut his mouth." Elias turned pale. Wendy remained seated on the chair, quietly waiting for a police officer to come and settle the matter.
