---- Chapter 124, Regardless of how Elias or Bryan looked at her, Wendy refused to say anything. "Elias, wait here for a while-I'm going to the restroom. When the officer arrives , call me. I'll make sure this woman. understands what kind of trouble she's gotten herself into today!" With that, Bryan left in a hurry. Wendy didn't even look in his direction. Elias went up to her and said in a soft voice, "Why can't you just show me some vulnerability? I'm family, not your enemy.

"What family of mine would accuse me without first verifying the truth and attach conditions to the help they offer?" Wendy looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean by that?" "Oh, I think you know exactly what I mean." Pursing her lips, she added, "You've probably already been to the Sanders residence. Your silence ever since getting out of that car already told me everything I needed to know. You're on their side now." "Wendy, what's gotten into you? I just want to help.

All I ask is for you to talk to me like you did when we were little. You just have to say the right words and act a little spoiled. Is that ---- so wrong?" Hearing this, Wendy snorted. "Mr. Mercer, do you realize where we are right now? Do you really think your request is appropriate in a place like this? Also, I am not Jenna. Don't ever make such unreasonable demands of me again." It wasn't as if she lacked the money to pay the compensation.

Besides , she was indeed in the wrong for the accident today, having been distracted by the phone call. She didn't need whatever help he had to offer. Looking at Wendy's cold and distant expression, Elias realized it was all useless, no matter what he said. It suddenly struck him that Mary and Chris were right. Wendy had indeed changed. She had become heartless. "If you keep acting like this, you're going to break my heart." Elias' face turned stern.

"I really don't understand-you're all family. Why do you insist on going against Jenna?" "Tf you don't understand , then you can just stay oblivious . I won't hold it against you. Just please stop making assumptions about me." Elias flushed red with anger. "Jenna did nothing wrong. If you keep being so stubborn and aggressive , don't blame me for actually siding with her!" Wendy abruptly smirked. "Is that so? Fine. That's your choice -it has nothing to do with me.

All Ican say is that I respect your decision." ---- There was no point in continuing this conversation with him. Since Elias had already been brainwashed by Jenna, anything she said now was just wasting her breath. With that thought, she stood up. Before Elias could speak, Wendy walked toward the service counter. She was done talking to him.

"If everyone is too busy to resolve this today, I can come back another time." The police station was bustling with noise, and it didn't look like there was an officer available to handle her case. Wendy had a calm look on her face, clearly showing no intention of running away from the situation. As such, the officer at the desk glanced at the computer and nodded. "Alright.

Just sign here and leave a contact number." As soon as the officer finished speaking, Bryan, who had supposedly gone to the restroom , suddenly reappeared and blocked Wendy's path. "No way. Do you think you can just leave before this is resolved ? Dream on! You'll stay and wait for the police with me!" As he burst out once more with his obnoxious yelling , Wendy took a step back to put some space between them. Frowning, she said, "Just get straight to the point.

How much ---- compensation are you asking for? As long as it's reasonable , T'll pay it right away." Wendy was in a foul mood. All she wanted was to go home and be alone. Her car had been scratched up, too. She hadn't expected one bad thing to follow another like this. Bryan lifted his chin arrogantly, declaring, "My car is practically brand new.

You can't even afford the compensation I want!" That was when it finally dawned on Wendy - Bryan had been dancing around the main issue the whole time, clearly trying to stall and purposefully make things difficult for her. Wendy glanced back at Elias, who was still standing where he was. She had a pretty good guess why Bryan was doing this.
