---- Chapter 98 "You're the only one who understands how the Sanders treat me," Wendy said, her voice heavy with emotion. "Jenna has always been able to twist the truth, and with Mom and Dad backing her up, would you even believe me if I told you the whole story?" Elias' expression flickered with doubt. "Of course, I'll believe you no matter what you say. Whatever you've been through, you can tell me." "Listen carefully, then. Jenna abandoned James because of some misunderstandings.

And then, I ended up marrying him. After I finally accepted that my husband didn't love me and decided just to live my life, Jenna came back, and together with the Sanders family, they forced me to divorce James. Do you believe that?" If there was anyone in this world Wendy could be completely honest with, it was Elias. In some ways, the man in front of her now reminded her of the boy she once knew. Through her teary vision, she almost forgot where she was.

Wendy had kept all her pain and frustrations bottled up for so long, and now they were spilling out uncontrollably. Elias stared at her, his expression complex but mostly filled with intense sympathy and concern. ---- After a long pause, he hesitantly asked, "Are you saying... Jenna ruined your marriage?" "Yes. I've already applied for the divorce with James, but we're keeping it from Mr. Frank Senior to avoid worrying him. Wendy held nothing back.

She was taking a chance, hoping that Elias was still the kind of person who would help her through hard times. She didn't need him to do anything for her, nor did she expect him to take action. She just needed a shoulder to lean on. Elias bit his lip and, after a brief silence, finally spoke. "Don't worry. [won't tell anyone. However, I will make sure you get the justice you deserve." Wendy could no longer hold back, and tears started to well up in her eyes.

As she looked at Elias's unwavering determination , she felt warmth in her chest. "Elias, just believing in me means everything . I don't need you to fight for me. My only wish now is to escape James and the Sanders family." She spoke from the heart and managed to offer him a faint smile. Elias gazed at her, his pain deepening, and he embraced her. " Wendy, I'm back now.

I'll never let you suffer again." ---- His warm, steady hand gently patted her back, as if trying to give her endless strength. Wendy gripped the hem of his shirt tightly, nodding firmly. " Okay." Ablack business car passed by in the distance. The yellow light flashed at the intersection , followed by the red light, and the car came to a stop on the road. Inside, Jenna, sitting in the back seat, glanced up and saw them holding each other. She froze for a moment, then straightened up.

Was that Elias and Wendy? He had really gone to see Wendy right after getting off the plane. Jenna's brows furrowed, and her hands clenched into fists. Even after all these years, they were still this close. How could this be? Had they been in contact all this time? Jenna gritted her teeth, and her heart filled with jealousy and resentment. Her face twisted in anger. Even though she had James now, she couldn't bear to see Wendy get something she didn't. At that thought, she suddenly shouted, "Stop the car!"
