Wendy's heart skipped a beat with her blood running cold. V-Vinson? How long has he been standing behind me? D-Did he hear anything? Plugging into icy fear, beams of sweat formed on her forehead. Immediately after, she had the thought that Vinson might not be able to listen clearly to what she had spoken just now at such distance due to her soft voice. Perhaps he didn't hear me just now? I can't be flustered now. I must calm down! At that thought, Wendy took a deep breath to regain her composure before setting her eyes straight at him. Vinson's eyes were dark and deep. Meeting with his sharp gaze made her feel terrified. Wendy was once again fidgeted. She clenched her fist tightly and averted his gaze. Forcing out a smile, she greeted, “Hey, Vinson.” Without replying to her, Vinson remained still as he stared at her in silence.Just as Wendy was on the verge of breaking down, Vinson shifted his gaze and walked toward the campus entrance. At that sight, Wendy heaved a sigh of relief and covered her chest with her hands. Oh my goodness! Luckily, he didn't hear anything! Otherwise, he would not give such a reaction. Just then, Vinson suddenly stopped and turned toward her. With her heart pounding against her chest, Wendy broke into a cold sweat. “Wendy.” His tone was indifferent. She gulped hard before she could say out a word. “Y-Yes?” Initially, he did not want to bother Wendy, but he could not allow anyone to slander Arielle. So, he walked back and stood in front of her. “You better explain your lie to my mom.” Upon listening to that, Wendy's face turned ashen. S-So, he heard me just now? With her heart racing in her chest, she explained, “Vinson, did you misunderstand anything? I-I didn't lie-” “Wendy Greene!” Vinson raised his voice and said indifferently, “Since the day you moved into my house, I never drove you away merely because I thought that it's all my mother's ridiculous plan. I thought that you were innocent too. But, you're not. Either you explain everything to my mom now or get out of Jadeborough tomorrow and don't ever come back again.” Wendy trembled in fear upon hearing that. “V-Vinson, I've explained everything about Arielle to Ms. Stone. But, I'm not clear what happened either. I also heard it from the others.” Vinson narrowed his eyes. “So, you choose to get out of Jadeborough?” He did not want to be lenient to someone like her. Wendy's eyes reddened as tears trickled down her cheeks. “Vinson, you can't do this to me! Ms. Stone chose me to be her daughter-in-law!” “Hah!” Vinson sneered and continued, “I'm the one choosing my own wife, not my mom! Wendy, don't overestimate yourself. You don't deserve to be compared with Arielle! But, since my mom likes you, you can ask her to marry you. If she agrees, I won't oppose it.”
