---- Chapter 150 Wendy watched as Jenna and Ethan walked away. Her furrowed brow finally relaxed as she quietly withdrew her gaze. She had grown immune to Ethan's accusations. Even when he rejected her in front of others, she didn't feel much, just a little helpless. She shouldn't have gotten involved with Ethan in the first place. Liam suddenly asked, "Did you notice anything strange just now?" Wendy nodded, her voice cold. "Yes.

There's always a problem whenever Ethan is around Jenna." He frowned. "Yeah. I saw it too-"" Before he could finish, she cut him off. "It's fine if Jenna treats Ethan well." She glanced at him, signaling him to stop talking. Wendy didn't want to talk about Jenna and Ethan any further. Liam glanced toward the door. Ethan and Jenna were already gone. Had he been mistaken? But Jenna probably wouldn't dare get rough with Ethan in public. ---- He gave a short hum and stayed silent.

The whole situation was clear, and with the community surveillance footage as proof, Liam only needed to pay bail to be released. But James' case was more complicated. He was caught driving under the influence. After the paperwork was done, Wendy stood and left with Liam. She showed no intention of helping James. She didn't even glance at him. James clenched his teeth furiously, staring after their retreating backs.

Freddy, who had been with James since dropping off the others, noticed his expression and hurried after Wendy. Once outside the police station, Freddy called out, "Mrs. Frank." Wendy's steps faltered, but she didn't look back. Liam stopped and said, "That's James' assistant, right? Maybe he has something to say. Do you want to listen?" He always hid his warmth beneath a cold exterior. Wendy sighed. "I'm not going to defend him or bail him out." Liam smiled lightly.

"Just listen to what he has to say. The choice is yours. I'll go start the car engine." With his insistence, Wendy finally turned to wait for Freddy to ---- approach. Freddy said, slightly out of breath, "Mrs. Frank, Mr. Frank had a few too many drinks at a business dinner tonight. Please don't hold it against him or let this change how you feel about him." Wendy frowned. "Whether he's drunk or not is none of my business. Why should you care if I dislike him?" "It matters." He glanced at Liam.

"Mr. Frank still thinks about you. It's just-"" She cut him off. "I'm not trying to make things hard for you. You're speaking on his behalf because you work for him. I get that working under James isn't easy. However, please refrain from saying things like that. "T've already decided to divorce him, which means I want to shed the status of James' wife. Every word you say feels like an insult tome." With that, Wendy turned and walked away, leaving no chance for Freddy to respond.

He stood frozen, watching her retreating figure. He frowned deeply. Her grudge against James seemed incomprehensible. As Wendy entered the car, Liam asked, "What was it about?" She shook her head. "Nothing important. Let's just go home." After speaking, she looked at Liam. ---- The bruises on his face hadn't been treated yet and were already swelling badly. It was gruesome to see.
