Je leaned against him , feeling an immense sense of security , Wendy laughed in anger . " Do you think that I care ? " Then , she raised her brows and asked , " So , you're saying that , if it wasn't me who did it but Jerma , then you'd be willing to pay ? " James was still angry about what happened two hours ago , so he nodded without hesitation " Not a penny less . " Jenna was deeply moved , and she looked up at him with eyes full of love .

However , it was utterly disgusting and nauseating in Wendy's eyes . 1 heard that store clerk telling someone to erase the surveillance footage , but it doesn't matter . We'll wait for the police . Even if the police don't come , I still have evidence . " Wendy said . Amy still held that tom piece of cloth tightly in her hand . The specks of blood on it had long dried . Hearing this , Morgan looked at Sarah . " I'll be stating this .

Sarah or rather , Sarah Watts - you are no longer a member of DTS . The company's legal resources will no longer be available to you ! " Given your actions , 1'll also be pursuing legal responsibility . Whatever compensation is owed to Ms. Wendy must be paid in full . As for the financial damages to The company , you won't escape that either . " Sarah collapsed to the floor . " Ms. Vance ! I can explain . I only helped h Ther because I thought Ms. Sanders was Mr. Frank's woman !

" The truth of the drama had already surfaced even before the police arrived , Morgan didn't even glance at her and called for security . sarah screamed like a madwoman . " I'm willing to testify ! It was Me . Sanders who struck first ! Or she was the one who insulted the other Ms. Sanders first f As security dragged her away , her panicked ramblings were completely incoherent . No one could tell which " Ms. Sanders " she meant . However , everyone upstairs . seemed to understand .

Morgan looked at James . " Mr. Frank , as you said earlier , as long as it wasn't Dr. Sanders , you'd pay in full . " " Morgan , " Jenna got nervous and tried to divert the conversation . " Why are you only listening to her side ? Aren't you and James good friends ? You shouldn't be asking him to pay . " Her words were incredibly clever . If it was Wendy who caused the trouble , then Morgan shouldn't be asking James for compensation .

It Wendy hadn't , and since Morgan and James were friends , she still shouldn't be aslong him … Her words were full of defense for James , yet completely devoid of apology or remorse . Wendy couldn't help but laugh . " So , I should ask you for the money ? Can you afford it ? Or will the Sanders family pay on y your behalf ? " you , I thought it was a " Wendy , don't be so cruel . " Jenna's tears fell in a flash . " 1 only came to pick a dress to celebrate Mr. Frank Senior's birthday .

When I ran into y coincidence . But now it seems like you did this on purpose to humiliate me . She invoked Robert's name like a golden ticket to avoid blame Janses , who had been silent all this time , finally spoke coldly , " If this is the outcome you want , then I'll take responsibility for Jenna , Ms. Vance , name your price . A trace of disgust appeared on Morgan's beautiful face at that moment . She frowned , glancing at Jenna and James .

" I don't feel like settling this privately anymore . Let's wait for the police . This involves a criminal financial dispute . It izt Mr. Frank uit with only the dress's original price , I'd be suffering a lauge loss . " Then , she tumed to Wendy and said softly , " Dr. Sanders , would you like to rest in the lounge for a while ? Once the police are done taking statements , I'll drive you Her attitude changed completely .

Jenna stared wide - eyed at Wendy When did that bitch get so close to Morgan ? Wendy shook her head . " No need , Ms Vance , I still need to choose a dress . I won't have time to come back tomorrow . " " Things got a bit chaotic today How about this ? " Morgan's voice tumed sweet and accommodating . " I'll deliver it to you tomorrow . All your past gowns were custom - made at DTS and handled by me . I'll pick the one that suits you best , " After some thought , Wendy nodded .

" Then , P'Ubay to trouble you , Ms. Vance . " Morgan personally escorted Werly to the lounge , leaving James and jenna frozen Amy quiddy followed , mumbling , " Thank goodness Ms. Vance came , ollwawise Ms. Sanders would have suttered so much injustice . " The words floated into Jerina's ears . She clenched her teeth in anger , but before she could say anything , Jaimes pushed her hand away Call Chris and Mary , " James said Jenna blinked in confusing " Why ? " Morgan's calling the police .

If you don't want to be detaliard , Chris and Mary bettercome and beg Wendy for mercy , " panes said . " What does this have to do with Wendy ? " she asked , choking up . " James , you and Morgan are good friends ; she'd listen to you . " " She won't . " James looked at the lounge door that was slowly closing . " Wendy once saved Slemma's lite . " As the words fell , a wave of darkness swept over jenna . bar vestades she treated Wendy so well .

She didn't even care about saving face for the Frank family . the clenched her fists , biting her lip hard to contain the jealousy surging inside her like a storm . How is it that Wendy's In is so blessed ? Tames had already tuned to leave . That overwhelming feeling of isolation surged through her . She had no choice but to call her parents . mten minutes later , Chris and Mary arved with the police . They immediately pulled Wendy aside . fat are you trying to do ?

Are you trying to destroy lenna's lite ? Mary scolded furiously You've already decided to leave and get a divorce . So , why are you still stirring up trouble ? Chris added sterly . Not far away , James overheard and turned with a frown . Leave ? She was leaving and hadn't even told him ? He was about to ask Wendy about it when Jenna grabbed his am . Tames , stay with me . I'm scared .

" The police were curently questioning the DTS stati , and Jenna would be next James took one last glance at Wendy from a distance before turning back There would be time to ask her later . Wendy frowned and asked Chris , " How did you know ? " If Jenna hadn't told us , how long were you planning to hide it from us ? Do you even see us as your parents anymore ? " Chris replied irritably .

They had supposedly come to plead for Jenna , yet their one and expressions were more like they were interrogating Wendy . Wendy had already given up hope in them , so she couldn't be disappointed any further . No matter how they berated her , her expression remained calm and emotionless " Are you finished ? " she asked once they paused . " What kind of attitude is that ? If you're set on ruining Jenna , then cut ties with us !

just pretend we never had a daughter like you , " Chris yelled at Wendy . " Fine " Wendy looked up abruptly , staring straight at Chris . Her answer was firm 212 Chapter 21 That single , decisive word stunned both Chris and Mary into silence . You . What did you just say ? " Chris's face tumed red with fury . " I knew it , you're just an ungrateful brat !

" ow , " ungrateful brat " was the It was a phrase that Wendy had heard so many times that it had practically engraved itself into her bones . From her childhood until now , Insult most frequently hurled at her . " You want me to lose control , get angry , and make a scene so everyone takes your side and condemns me ? Or are you hoping I'll feel guilty and give in , so I'll protect Jenna for you ? " Wendy's voice was quiet and calm , laced with a lifeless questioning .

Yet no matter what she said , she was always at fault in the eyes of Chris and Mary . " What's the point of saying all this before Chris could finish , someone stepped in front of Wendy , blocking her from view . ** This matter hasn't even been concluded yet . The police haven't even said anything and , as her parents , you come in and blindly accuse Dr. Sanders ? Aren't you afraid of becoming a joke ? Morgan's voice was characteristically bold .

She stood before Wendy , shielding her from the flood of accusations With a serious look , she turned and said to Wendy , " Do you want to sit down for a while ? " Wendy's pale face regained a bit of color . She shook her head gently . " No need , Ms. Vance , " " Ms. Vance , please for the Frank family's sake , let's not pursue this matter further . " Mary quickly turned , her tone now completely different . " Let the one who caused the trouble deal with it .

Don't let Jerma get dragged into this . You've always gotten along well with her . " Morgan's angerflared . " Aren't I just doing what you said ? Whoever causes trouble should take responsibility ? Jenna caused this mess , and yet you as her elders still defend her ? I honestly wonder what kind of disaster she'll create next . " Her words were full of scom for Jenna . She continued , " And as for my relationship with jenna , It was only because of James . But between him and Dr. Sanders ?

Even James doesn't carry that much weight with me That silenced both Chris and Mary . Did Wendy mean more to Morgan than James ? Even so , Mary wasn't ready to give up . " Ms. Vance , even if you're closer to Wendy , Jenna is her sister , her flesh and blood . That should count for something . " Meanwhile , James , who was helping Jenna give her statement , glanced over at Wendy . She stood silently behind Morgan , her eyes lowered , looking so alone and forlor that it tugged at his heart .

A wave of sympathy unexpectedly washed over him . " Please , believe me . I fell by accident . I didn't do it on purpose ! I never meant not to pay . They're all malding things up to blame me . " Suddenly , Jenna's tearful voice pulled James's attention back A trembling hand clutched tightly at his sleeve , revealing how frightened she truly was . James looked up and said finnly , " The surveillance footage was erased , and witness testimonies alone aren't enough to conclude .

The police will investigate thoroughly , so don't worry . " The police officer nodded in agreement . " Mr. Frank is right . However , since the complainant is pursuing legal action , these witness statements will be key evidence in court . " Claim Bonus For Free E Every Dayss Claim Chapter 22 The police offices seemed to be intimidated by James's status , sticking to tonalities while explaining Jenna's situation , avoiding eye contact with him .

Jenna collapsed on James and said tearfully , " James , it was just an accident . I only ruined two dresses . How could things have turned out like this … The police had Jenna sign her statement before questioning Wendy and Morgan . thappened . Their statements were quickly recorded .

Both of them calmly described the event , in stark contrast to Jenna's distorted version of what h When Wendy was about to leave , she didn't even glance at the Sanders family , who were now huddled together in concern .

" Hettone was steady , neither distant not overly warm , but there was an unmistakable air of reserve that made her seem somewhat unapproachable . Motgan bit her lip , brows furrowing slightly . " Dr.
