---- Chapter 137 James stared at Wendy. His emotions were tangled and conflicted, but all that showed on his face was anger. Wendy, on the other hand, was in high spirits. The onlookers saw the truth, and for once, she raised an eyebrow at James with slight satisfaction. She had won this round, and she was enjoying every second of it. "So, Mr. Frank, Ms. Sanders, do you still have something to say? If not, maybe get Ethan some food now.

His stomach's growling." Hearing those words, the crowd silently judged James and Jenna for not even feeding their child. James' fists clenched so tightly they were slick with sweat. He shot a sharp glance at Liam. This battle was far from over. The waiter , more anxious than anyone, quickly tried to de- escalate the situation. "Mr. Frank, this way, please. Your table iso" "We'll sit right here in the main hall!" James barked, cutting him off before storming toward a nearby table.

He had always been the golden boy, rarely facing setbacks , and his pride ran deep. ---- How dare Wendy humiliate him publicly, and in front of another man? James sat stiffly in his chair, his gaze burning with rage as it landed on Wendy. Adark, vengeful desire welled up inside him. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to see her beg for forgiveness. But this wasn't the time. He still cared too much about appearances to cause a scene.

No matter how certain he was that he could make her regret everything, he refused to let the public see him lose control. He forced himself to look away, sat down with Ethan, and didn't spare Wendy another glance. Jenna was left standing there, tears welling in her eyes as she stared at Wendy. "Wendy, you've misunderstood everything between me and James. You haven't finalized your divorce yet, and I'm just trying to help take care of Ethan. So.

Her words of grievance echoed through the room, reaching everyone present. Wendy knew exactly that Jenna was trying to manipulate public opinion. "spare me," she snapped, cutting Jenna off coldly. "You know that we've only filed the paperwork and aren't even officially ---- divorced. And yet here you are, getting cozy with my husband. Are you not even trying to keep up appearances?" Jenna froze in place. Inher memory, Wendy had never been this sharp.

Wendy wasn't the type to confront anyone, let alone her. "you" "What about me?" Wendy stared her down. "Aren't you supposed to be helping take care of Ethan? Why are you still standing here whining at me, then?" Before Jenna could think of a response , Liam raised a hand and waved over the waiter. "She's been twittering non-stop. How am I supposed to eat like this?" The waiter bowed slightly. "I'll take care of it right away." Then, he turned to Jenna.

"Miss, please don't disturb our other guests." After being shut down, Jenna couldn't find the right words to defend herself and had no choice but to sit back down beside James. Her face was flushed with embarrassment. At last, the noise finally faded, and Wendy couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Liam looked at her. "Don't worry. I'm here today, so no one's going to push you around." Her breath caught at those words. She had heard such things many times before.

But looking at the sincerity in Liam's ---- eyes, she realized that it was different this time. Wendy smiled softly. "I'm a grown woman now. I don't need protecting."
