NOVPUBChapter 1168: Chapter 1168: There Must Be Something Wrong with Your Brain_1 Chapter 1168 -1168: There Must Be Something Wrong with Your Brain_1 Whether it was individual capability, position in the Zhekova Family, or familial relationships, Lyke Zhekova far outshined Ethan Zhekova.
Though Ethan had never spoken to her about matters related to the Zhekova Family.
Including the relationships among the family members, Ethan never mentioned it.
Naturally, he wouldn’t let Wendy Clarke understand.
Despite Wendy’s understanding, she might not be able to do anything with her abilities.
However, due to Ethan’s intrinsic arrogance, he looked down on Wendy from the bottom of his heart, believing she was neither worthy nor needed to understand the affairs of the Zhekova Family.
But being with Wendy, he couldn’t just act without explaining.
...
Ethan clearly didn’t have that kind of interest.
He would always say something.
From Ethan’s words, his dissatisfaction with Lyke, Adrian Zhekova, and Samson Zhekova, including the Elders in the Zhekova Family, would always leak out some.
Even if he resisted not telling Wendy, and was aware of this in his heart.
But the long-suppressed dissatisfaction or even hatred of these people, because it was too much, often complained a lot, always bringing out something in the conversation.
And Wendy knew that Ethan would never take the initiative to say anything, and even if she asked, Ethan still wouldn’t say anything.
Therefore, Wendy could only start from the details, picking out the details in Ethan’s conversations, discovering some things that Ethan himself did not notice.
This allowed Wendy to realize that Ethan’s family probably had an average relationship with the rest of the Zhekova Family.
Just now, seeing the chat of the Zhekova Family members, Wendy became more certain of this point.
Others were chatting lively in the group, but Ethan was pretending to be aloof and unwilling to join in.
If Wendy were to say, Ethan considered her stupid and looked down on her.
This point, Wendy isn’t an idiot, so she could certainly feel it.
But she thinks Ethan is the stupid one.
If she had Ethan’s conditions, why wouldn’t she cling tightly to those people with real power in the Zhekova Family?
Ethan’s father, Gabriel Zhekova, doesn’t have much real power in the Zhekova Family, so what is he dreaming of competing for?
Following Gabriel has no promising future to speak of.
What can he compete for?
After all, the position of Family Head is definitely not Ethan’s.
It would be better to learn from Lyke and Samson.
The benefits you get for yourself are the real benefits.
Adrian Zhekova waved his hand and directly presented an entire catering brand to Lyke.
What about Samson?
In addition to managing Pingla Academy, Adrian also helped him grab the vice-chairman position in the International Chefs Association.
There must be various other benefits afterwards.
On the other hand, what has Ethan got?
Any little benefits are what Ethan fights for himself, and it’s not necessarily within his grasp.
But if Ethan doesn’t take the initiative to fight for it, Adrian wouldn’t even think of Ethan.
You tell me, what’s Ethan playing at with all this?
So, Ethan always thinks Wendy is stupid, but Wendy is aware of it and didn’t take it to heart.
The two of them are just using each other.
Funnily enough, Ethan despises her stupidity, which made it even easier for her to use Ethan.
When the time comes, who will lose and who will gain, it’s really uncertain.
If Wendy were to say, Ethan will sooner or later suffer due to his self-conceit.
If there were a choice, she would also like to have a chance to be with Lyke or Samson.
And compared to Samson, Lyke obviously has a great advantage.
And Wendy doesn’t think Lyke is that old at all.
She thinks he’s quite suitable.
And yet, Cindy Clarke doesn’t understand the principle of keeping good things within the family.
Having such a good thing, she didn’t think of Wendy, instead she favored some kind of best friend.
Doesn’t she know the phrase, guard against fire, theft, and best friends?
If something happens, the first one to screw you over might be your best friend!
Ethan put away his mobile phone and looked at Wendy, “Speaking of which, you are Cindy’s sister, but she didn’t introduce you to Lyke or Samson.”
Wendy never avoids the discord between her and Cindy, Ethan knows anyway.
“She’s probably afraid.” Wendy said confidently, “I’ve always been more outstanding compared to her, attracted more attention.
When the two of us are together, people’s eyes always fall on me first, they might not even notice Cindy.”
“From childhood to adulthood, she’s lived in my shadow.” Wendy said, “So, she’s probably afraid that if she really introduced me, I would steal her attention, steal everything from her and make her live under my halo again.”
“Another point is retribution.” Wendy added, “Because she envied me, she couldn’t stand to see me doing well, ignoring even sisterly love.”
As Wendy nestled in Ethan’s arms, and looked up at him, Ethan could see from her eyes and expression that she really thought so.
Ethan: “…”
There must be something wrong with Wendy’s brain.
Where did her confidence come from?
Ethan chuckled coldly, pinching her chin: “What’s wrong?
Are you wronged being with me?
Why don’t you go find Samson?
Or ask if my Fourth Uncle would take you as his mistress?”
Wendy’s eyes were teary, she said aggrievedly, “Of course I’m wronged.
Am I with you only in name?
You are just single, without an official girlfriend.
But it does not mean that I am not your mistress.”
Whoever doesn’t have a title is a mistress.
However, because Ethan is not married.
So, Wendy can be called a friend with benefits.
“What’s wrong?
After all that’s said and done, you are still not happy.” Ethan would not buy her act.
Because he utterly despised her, Ethan could say without hesitation: “You can still leave now.”
“How can you be like this.” Wendy said, but held Ethan even tighter, “You know I can’t leave you.”
Ethan scoffed.
***
As Ethan and Wendy met, each planning to use the other in their silly game, Lyke was picking up Peggy Lewis from work.
In the car, Lyke plans, “We are off this weekend, shall we go home to see our parents?”
“Parents?” Peggy was taken aback.
Lyke’s mother had passed away, hadn’t she? 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
“Our parents.” Lyke said.
It took Peggy a while to react, Lyke was referring to Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis.
It’s only been a day and Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis have become Lyke’s parents.
If they knew about this, what would their feelings be?
Mrs.
Lewis has always been concerned about her marriage issues.
Although it’s not at the point of getting married yet, having a boyfriend would at least give Mrs.
Lewis some peace of mind.
Anyway, Lyke had already met her parents.
Peggy had no worries and agreed: “Alright.”
Lyke had already planned it out, so once Peggy agreed, he said, “Let’s go this Saturday then.
We’ll go back to the family mansion on Sunday?”
And then Lyke explained right away, “Although you’ve been to the family mansion before, you were not my girlfriend at the time.”
