Chapter 1322: Chapter 1322: Retreating Whole_1 Chapter 1322: Chapter 1322: Retreating Whole_1 “No, you’ve misunderstood,” Wendy Clarke said.

“Although my mother was sent to the Skyrise Senior Living, it was entirely because of Cindy Clarke.”
“You know, Cindy Clarke is fed up with my mother and me.

She doesn’t want us to always be in her sight.

She can’t do anything to me, but she can send my mother to the Elderly Care Center under the pretense of elderly care.

She is trying to get rid of us and prevent us from bothering her.”,
“I am not in a position to negotiate with Adrian Zhekova.

If I really had betrayed you, we wouldn’t be negotiatingaEUR”what would I be out for?” Wendy Clarke stated.

“Cindy just thinks that if my mother is with me all the time, we could make things difficult for her together.

She felt annoyed and thus wanted to separate us,” Wendy Clarke explained.

“I really have not betrayed you,” Wendy Clarke said.

“Then what about that recording?” Ethan Zhekova asked coldly.

“I admit, I did record it for an emergency,” Wendy Clarke said bluntly, “You also told me that our relationship is purely one of mutual benefit, didn’t you?”
“Furthermore, you’ve always bossed me around.

You never take me seriously.

I have no security with you.”
“If something were to happen, I’m afraid you wouldn’t care about me,” Wendy Clarke said ambiguously, “I’ve never planned to give the recording to anyone.

I simply wanted to play it when you neglect me.”
Ethan Zhekova snorted coldly, “But haven’t I already neglected you?

Why didn’t you bring up the video when that happened?”
“Because it wasn’t yet a desperate situation,” Wendy Clarke continued, growing more agitated.

“I knew that once I brought it up, you would get angry and we’d end up in a fierce quarrel.

So, I intended to bring it out only when there was no other choice.”
“But before, it clearly wasn’t a desperate situation,” Wendy Clarke argued, “Apart from targeting my restaurant, Adrian Zhekova didn’t take any other action.

I could endure.

To be at odds with you, or to have a slight setback in my restaurant, I can still bear.”
“Which is worse, offending you or the restaurant being damaged?

It’s plain to see,” Wendy Clarke reasoned, “I know you think I’m stupid, but I’m not THAT stupid.”
“That recording was stolen from my house by Adrian Zhekova,” Wendy Clarke accused Adrian Zhekova.

Adrian had promised her before that he wouldn’t disclose it.

But now, Ethan knew all about it.

Although she didn’t dare to offend Adrian,
She’d prefer to plant the blame on Adrian than face the urgency at hand.

She had to trick Ethan before anything else.

By then, if the brothers started fighting, she might even be able to sit back and watch, making a clean getaway.

“I realized the recording was missing,” Wendy Clarke added, “I just found out on Saturday.

I didn’t dare to tell you.

I didn’t want you to know I had made a recording.”
“And at that timeaEUR|I even suspected that you took it, so I was even more afraid to speak up,” Wendy Clarke admitted.

“But just now, hearing you suspect that I gave the recording to Adrian Zhekova, I knew who had stolen it,” Wendy Clarke revealed.

“Moreover, if you can barge into my house, people working for Adrian Zhekova could, too!” Wendy Clarke pleaded urgently, “You must believe me!”
“We are both in the same boat.

If I betray you, what kind of benefit would it bring to me?

With Cindy around, there’s no way I could benefit from Adrian Zhekova.”
