Chapter 604: Chapter 604: You’ve Been Fooled

If Mr. Lopez was lying, we could have just called Cindy Clarke for confrontation.

This way, I won’t have to make any further sacrifices!

I was essentially sacrificing myself for nothing, giving Mr. Lopez a free advantage.

Now, the situation is exactly as I speculated with Christy Xenos beforehand.

Ever since agreeing to bear Mr. Lopez a son.

This was my disgrace.

Wendy Clarke was always careful to hide this part of her past, fearing others might find out.

Even now, living a life of luxury, there were still things that she was unsatisfied with.

All thanks to Cindy Clarke!

“Let’s not talk about it anymore,” Wendy Clarke decidedly didn’t want to bring up the past.

As expected, Christy Xenos said no more.

Wendy Clarke asked again, “When you went to Belfard and met her, didn’t you find out she has a son?”

“How could we have known that?” Christy Xenos quickly explained, “She came alone, without any child.”

“And her home? Didn’t you visit her home?” Wendy Clarke immediately asked.

Christy Xenos paused before saying: “Ah, now that you mentioned it, it seems so.”

“At that time, I didn’t know she had a child, so I didn’t pay attention and just noticed that her home was quite small.”

“But thinking about it now, her place was so small that you could see everything at a glance,” Christy Xenos said, “I actually didn’t notice any child-related items.”

“If there is a child, even if they don’t have much money and can’t afford toys, there should at least be a bed for the child, right?”

“Especially since it’s a boy, he can’t always sleep with his mommy,” Christy Xenos reasoned.

“However, there were no traces of a child in her home. There were no beds, toys, nothing.”

“What about toiletries?” Wendy Clarke asked again.

“Even if there were no other items, there should have been a child’s toiletries,” Wendy Clarke said.

If she were really that poor, external matters may not matter, but she can’t simply not have toiletries, can she?

Christy Xenos frowned and thought for a while, but was still unsure: “This, I didn’t really notice. Cindy Clarke was always hounding me for money, so all I wanted was to leave.”

“And her bathroom and sink were so shoddy, a sore sight to the eye,” Christy Xenos disdainfully said, “So, I didn’t really pay attention.”

“In addition, she said herself that she had fled from Mr. Lopez and he hadn’t even touched her. So naturally we thought that she had no children. Who would think there might be a child involved,” Christy Xenos explained.

“I think you were tricked,” Wendy Clarke bitterly stated.

“How so?” Christy Xenos was puzzled.

“That property was probably deliberately arranged by her to fool you.” Wendy Clarke said, “And, she didn’t want us to know about her child, so she didn’t display anything child-related in the house.”

“She must have feared we would use her child against her,” Wendy Clarke suggested.

“Just like when she attended the Competition, she initially refused to remove her mask, fearing that people would recognize her face. Wasn’t that to avoid us?”

“She made videos without showing her face, she was also doing it to avoid us, in case we saw her online,” Wendy Clarke said.

“She was so worried, naturally she was also worried that we would use her child. And even more worried that after we saw her child, we would know that it is the child she had for Mr. Lopez.”

“And then, once the news leaked out, how embarrassing it would be for her,” Wendy Clarke smirked.

“Now that we know, she won’t be able to hide,” Christy Xenos also said maliciously.

All of this was due to Cindy Clarke, which caused Wendy Clarke to suffer such a loss.

Cindy Clarke just caused trouble when she was home.

When she left, she even set a trap for Wendy Clarke.

Christy Xenos suddenly remembered something, grabbing Wendy Clarke’s arm and saying, “That’s right, since Cindy Clarke already bore Mr. Lopez a son, basically, we’ve given Mr. Lopez two sons.”

“One son is worth 10 million, so two should be 20 million. But he only gave us 10 million. In other words, he still owes us 10 million!” Christy Xenos reminded Wendy Clarke.

If it were a small amount of money, I wouldn’t bother to see Mr. Lopez’s fat, big-eared face.

But this was 10 million!

Christy Xenos did not want to take this loss!

“Cindy Clarke just left like that, dumping you.” Christy Xenos said, “Now through her child, we can claim 10 million that she owes us.”

“When the time comes, let Mr. Lopez find her. She kidnapped his child, moreover, it’s a son, would Mr. Lopez let her off?” Christy Xenos suggested wickedly.

“No.” Wendy Clarke immediately objected.

“Why?” Christy Xenos wondered, “Are we going to let Cindy Clarke off that easily? That’s too generous of us!”

“Of course, we cannot ignore her so easily.” Wendy Clarke’s eyes filled with hatred as if they would burst any second, “She harmed me. If it wasn’t for her, why would I have such a disgraceful history? I wouldn’t need to be so fearful now, worrying about my past being discovered.”

“I would have more capital for dealing with people, instead of worrying about finding a trust-fund baby who might uncover my past!”

“Even if I get married in the future and successfully marry into a wealthy family, this past will still be my disgrace, and if anyone discovers it, I will be ruined!”

All because of Cindy Clarke.

If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have to be so cautious and careful.

Let alone a wealthy family, if ordinary people knew that she had had a child for money, few would accept it.

Not to mention the face-conscious wealthy families.

“So, I have to pre-empt,” Wendy Clarke said coldly.

“What are you going to do?” Christy Xenos immediately asked.

“Originally, I had two plans. That son of Mr. Lopez, though he already lives with Mr. Lopez and does not know I am his mother, is still my son. The bond of blood cannot be changed.”

“Mr. Lopez’s wife can’t bear children. After Mr. Lopez took my son home, he had a row with his wife and at last, she gave in and decided to keep the child. However, she would never give anyone else a chance to let Mr. Lopez bring home another one.”

“This means eventually all of Mr. Lopez’s properties will belong to this son,” Wendy Clarke smirked sarcastically, “And this son… he is my child, right?”

“In the future, Mr. Lopez’s property will essentially belong to me,” Wendy Clarke said.

“Because of this past, I feel like I’ve always had a ticking time bomb strapped to my back, not knowing when it will go off. However, I also have the safety net of this son. If the bomb goes off, I can still inherit Mr. Lopez’s properties because of him,” Wendy Clarke plays her cards right.

Christy Xenos’s face lit up with delight.
