Wendy planned to continue work after taking a shower. After all, virtual-novel.net had not traveled to Harbor City for a vacation. They had signed on various collaboration projects that virtual-novel.net needed to keep an eye on herself. Moreover, virtual-novel.net needed to pick out areas that were unsuitable or unreasonable as soon as possible so they could be taken care of, as it would be harder to deal with them if they waited until they actually started working on the project.
Just then, virtual-novel.net phone began ringing.
Wendy had initially decided against answering the phone as it was from an unknown number but then virtual-novel.net decided to answer because virtual-novel.net noticed it was a number from Harbor City and was worried it was from one of their partners.
“Hello. Wendy Schuler speaking.”
The other end of the line went silent momentarily before a woman’s melodious voice rang out.
“Anna Law speaking.”
Wendy raised virtual-novel.net eyebrows.
In an instant, despite having been exposed to all sorts of scenarios in the past, virtual-novel.net still felt panic and confusion wash over her. She had never imagined Anna would have the guts to contact virtual-novel.net of virtual-novel.net own accord.
At the end of the day, Wendy had a higher standing, as virtual-novel.net was Jasper’s actual girlfriend and fiancé.
Was Anna taking the initiative to contact virtual-novel.net and provoke virtual-novel.net because virtual-novel.net had the advantage of being on virtual-novel.net home turf?
Wendy’s rage rose when virtual-novel.net thought of that. No matter how weak and gentle a woman usually seemed, virtual-novel.net would rise to be stronger than anyone else when defending virtual-novel.net relationship and virtual-novel.net children. Despite this, Wendy had never been a weak- natured woman.
“This is a surprising phone call.”
Anna chuckled when virtual-novel.net heard what Wendy said. “You visited the Boyle family. My house isn’t that far away from their house, why didn’t you come to visit me too?”
Wendy replied calmly, “The reason I did not go is not that I’m afraid of you or anyone else. Instead, it’s because Jasper will be in charge of the collaboration with the Law family, and I will not be involved in any way. Thus, I didn’t see the need to disrupt your daily lives.”
“You’ve already arrived at Harbor City. As host, I must make sure you are entertained adequately. Are you interested in gazing over the night view at Victoria Harbor?”
Wendy had no reason to turn down Anna’s invitation, and there was no way virtual-novel.net would do that.
If virtual-novel.net did, virtual-novel.net would lose the upper hand and appear as if virtual-novel.net were afraid of Anna.
“What’s the address?”
“I’ll text you.”
The two women hung up the phone after that.
An address soon appeared in Wendy’s inbox. Wendy stood and got changed after glancing at the address.
About ten minutes later, an MPV quietly exited The Westin’s basement. At the same time, several young men dressed in floral shirts squatting on the opposite end of the street immediately snuffed out their cigarettes when they noticed this. They began making phone calls as they clambered into their car to give chase.
“Mr. Phoenix, the lady has left!”
A normal looking Toyota followed the MPV as it drove along the street. About seven to eight minutes later, two more vehicles pulled out from a fork in the road. One of those vehicles was a van.
The cars began surrounding the vehicles instinctively.
Finally, when the MPV pulled onto a sparsely populated side road, all the cars revved their engines and forced the MPV to stop on the roadside.
A strong-looking young man dressed in a jacket and with tattoos all over his arm pulled the van’s door open as virtual-novel.net strutted over to the MPV, grinning as virtual-novel.net knocked on the window.
Wendy rolled the window down and stared woodenly at the heavily tattooed guy.
