NOVPUBChapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Mysterious Self-confidence_1 Chapter 1172 -1172: Mysterious Self-confidence_1 Christy Xenos rolled her eyes fiercely: “She’s just malicious!
She never thinks of us or her own sister when good things happen.
She deliberately introduced Peggy Lewis, making us jealous on purpose.
She’s doing it just to provoke us.”
“Don’t think of her like that.” Joshua Clarke advised, “She might have thought that the man was too old, and not suitable for Wendy, and that’s why she introduced him to Peggy.
After all, Peggy is an outsider, and she doesn’t have to worry too much about her.
But it’s not the same for us, Wendy is her own sister, she wouldn’t let Wendy suffer, dating such an old man, right?”
Wendy Clarke was appalled that Joshua was able to twist Cindy’s deliberate spite into something noble.
In the blink of an eye, Cindy had become a benevolent person.
...
And moreover, she was someone who cared about her, especially her sister.
Wendy found it amusing.
This wasn’t Joshua being too nice, this was him being brainless!
He couldn’t differentiate between right and wrong.
Who was supporting Joshua right now?
Where did his money come from?
It all came from her!
Yet every time something negative about Cindy was brought up, Joshua’s first reaction was to defend Cindy.
No matter who was right or wrong, regardless of the situation.
The first reaction was always to defend Cindy.
Joshua had always favored Cindy more since they were children.
Wendy retorted, “You haven’t seen what Lyke Zhekova looks like!”
Wendy turned to Christy and said, “If you had seen him, you wouldn’t be saying such things.
37 years old is nothing according to today’s standards, he’s in his prime.
Moreover, a wealthy man like Lyke, who takes good care of himself due to his privileged living condition, isn’t much different from the youngsters in their 20s.”
On Wendy’s way back, she found a few photos of Lyke and looked at them in the car.
She just couldn’t accept it.
If Cindy could have thought of her, this man should have been hers.
There wouldn’t have been a Peggy Lewis.
And she wouldn’t have to be with Ethan Zhekova, feeling insignificant all this while.
Being looked down upon by Ethan Zhekova.
Trying to establish a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship was met with disdain by Ethan who directly told her that it was impossible.
As for Peggy, she was nothing more than Cindy’s best friend.
But in the blink of an eye, she’d become Fourth Aunt!
Transforming a best friend into Fourth Aunt, only Cindy could pull that off!
To integrate her people into the Zhekova Family, she had tried her best!
Such painstaking efforts!
“Let me see.” Christy took Wendy’s mobile phone.
Upon seeing it, she was astonished, “Wow, you really can’t tell he’s 40.
He looks almost identical to Adrian Zhekova.”
“Take a look.” Christy handed the phone to Joshua, who then looked at Lyke’s picture.
“Such a fine-looking man, he gives off a feeling of reliability.” said a frustrated Christy, feeling the pain in her heart.
It’s as if Lyke was originally supposed to be Wendy’s.
It seemed that Lyke had been stolen from Wendy by Peggy.
“This!” Joshua was speechless when he saw Lyke’s pictures.
Indeed, Christy and Wendy were not wrong.
Lyke really didn’t look his age.
Even if Lyke had been introduced to Wendy, she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.
Such an outstanding man would be good for anyone.
Having such a suitable person nearby, yet Cindy never thought of Wendy.
Joshua also started to question Cindy.
No matter the conflict, family is always family.
Blood is thicker than water.
A family that’s like a bone with sinews: even if it’s broken, they’re still connected.
Isn’t family the most reliable when something happens?
Why didn’t Cindy ever think about Wendy?
As Joshua thought about it, he heard Wendy say: “If I had entered the Zhekova family, I could have watched out for her.
In any situation, the two of us could be allied.”
“Isn’t life in a wealthy family easy?
Isn’t she struggling alone?
Isn’t it challenging?” Wendy said, “She introduced Peggy to Lyke so that her best friend could help her, becoming united like a rope, right?
But no matter how close Peggy is to her, she’s still an outsider.”
“It would be more than common to see them betray her and become enemies when needed.” Wendy said, “How does their relationship even compare to the bond we share as a family of the same blood?”
“I really don’t understand what Cindy is thinking.
She managed to marry into the Zhekova Family successfully, she should be smart.
So why didn’t she think of this?
Is it just to get back at us, to provoke us, to make us angry, she actually did something that harms both others and herself.”
“Exactly!” Christy Xenos clenched her teeth and echoed Wendy’s words.
“But you’re already with Ethan Zhekova, aren’t you?” Joshua said, “You can still marry into the Zhekova Family this way, and we can support Cindy.”
Joshua earnestly advised, “Cindy did wrong in this matter.
It was hurtful.
But even though she didn’t help you, you ultimately didn’t lose anything, and in the end, you’ll still be able to marry into the Zhekova Family, right?”
“Yet, Dad, would you still expect me to help Cindy in the future?” Wendy coldly said, “Help should be mutual, it can’t be just me aiding her while she enjoys the benefits and still resents me.
I would consider it good if she would forget me when good things happen.
I still fear that she may harm me.”
“Cindy wouldn’t do that.” Joshua said, “There may be a gap between her and us, but she wouldn’t deliberately set you up.”
Wendy was practically furious to death.
Even in this situation, Joshua could still speak up for Cindy.
“Do you actually believe that being with Ethan Zhekova is a good thing and could definitely get me into the Zhekova Family?” Wendy said.
“To tell you the truth, I regard Ethan Zhekova as a backup option.” Wendy confessed.
Luckily Ethan wasn’t there, so Wendy could brag as much as she wanted in front of Joshua and Christy.
Especially Christy, who always took Wendy’s words as gospel truth.
In Christy’s eyes, Wendy was the most capable.
When Wendy said she regarded Ethan Zhekova as a backup option,
Anyone else would have laughed at this statement.
But Christy, hearing it, seemed to find it exceedingly natural.
She never thought Wendy to be unworthy of anyone.
She had complete confidence in Wendy.
“Ethan Zhekova may seem impressive in our eyes, but it’s all relative.
In the Zhekova Family, without even considering Adrian, he still falls short in comparison to Lyke and Samson Zhekova,” said Wendy,”Of course, this is only a comparison within the Zhekova family.
Against other families, he’s still considerably superior.”
Obviously, Wendy couldn’t say she chose someone who wasn’t good.
Christy nodded, “That’s a given.”
“But who would have thought he was even inferior to Lyke and Samson within the Zhekova Family?” Given her understanding of the Zhekova Family through Wendy, Christy had a relatively simple understanding of the family.
“Moreover, it’s obvious Ethan Zhekova doesn’t have a good relationship with the others in the Zhekova Family.”
