Chapter 56
Wendy Lim lifted one leg and didn't know whether she should move forward or backward.
Especially when Charlie Hogg only rested his eyes on her for a short time, and his lips were tightened.
Yolanda Lim was still moving around Charlie Hogg like a butterfly. She smiled and led him into the villa. Unexpectedly, she did not ignore Wendy Lim. "Wendy, why don't you come in? Dad is waiting for you!" Wendy Lim felt a little uncomfortable when she heard her words, but she still followed closely behind.
"Charlie, welcome!"
As soon as they entered the door, Johnny Lim and his wife came out to welcome them.
Wendy Lim was left behind and became the one to be ignored.
Maid Wong, the servant, cast a glance to Helen Lee. Later, Helen Lee, who was always gentle and kind before Johnny Lim, walked to Wendy Lim and said, "You made your dad so angry last time, and you can't make him unhappy this time! Yolanda has always put in a good word for you so you can come back today!"
Wendy Lim frowned when she heard that, and she didn't know what Yolanda Lim was going to do.
Wendy Lim turned to Johnny Lim and asked directly, "Dad, why do you ask me to back?"
"Come in first!" Johnny Lim answered.
After saying that, they had already turned around and walked inside. Wendy Lim had to change her shoes and get in.
They went to the dining room. Delicate dishes were placed on a long dining table, which was obviously for distinguished guests. Johnny Lim had already asked Charlie Hogg to take a seat, and the servants behind respectfully pulled the chairs for them.
"Wendy, take a seat!"
Yolanda Lim turned around, stepped forward, and held her hand.
She dragged her to the table, and when she let go of her hand, she winked at Maid Wong.
Wendy Lim couldn't refuse and had to sit down. However, before she could sit on the chair, the chair behind her suddenly retreated.
"Bang-"
She fell on the floor.
Pain spread along her tail bone which made Wendy Lim frown. She tried her best to hold back her scream.
The first thing that caught her eyes was Yolanda Lim and her mother's snickers. She subconsciously looked at Charlie Hogg, who was sitting opposite her.
Charlie Hogg leaned back on the chair casually but showed his status. At this time, his eyes were fixed on her. However, he didn't even frown, and there was no warmth in his deep eyes. He was like a bystander with an indifferent attitude, which was the same as his attitude when she was slapped by his father in the Lim family.
Wendy Lim suddenly felt bitter in her mind.
What was she looking forward to?
Johnny Lim banged the table and said unhappily, "Why do you cause a turmoil every time?"
"Are you okay, Wendy? Let me help you!" Yolanda Lim would not waste the opportunity to show her kindness.
Wendy Lim dodged her hands and stood up, gritting her teeth.
Maid Wong, who was standing behind her, was also laughing. Suddenly she met a pair of cold eyes.
She felt cold when she met the distinguished guest's eyes, as if she was standing on a snow mountain.
There was a deterrent in his slightly narrowed black eyes. Maid Wong shivered and subconsciously bowed her head to apologize, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lim! It's my fault. I had pulled the chair hard so Miss Lim missed the chair and fell down!"
"Dad, Maid Wong didn't do it on purpose!"
Yolanda Lim immediately said, "Our family has always been generous to the servants, and I think Wendy will forgive her, so forget it!"
"Good girl, Yolanda!" Helen Lee praised.
Johnny Lim nodded and waved his hand, not intending to talk more about it.
"Wendy, it was indeed Yolanda who asked me to invite you. You are my daughter and a part of the Lim family! Your grandmother's medical expenses should have not been paid this month." After saying that, Johnny Lim looked at his wife.
Helen Lee then took out a bank card from her pocket and added, "I have put 3,000 dollars in it! Don't waste the money!"
This was the first time that Johnny Lim took the initiative to give her money.
In the past, if she wanted to get money, she would beg or be slapped. But now, she felt that it was alms.
Wendy Lim put one hand on the bank card.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her instep.
It was Charlie Hogg that stepped on her without any forewarning, and he was even grinding on her foot. He was warning her, but he didn't show anything on his face. It seemed that all his interests were on the porcelain bowl and chopsticks in front of him.
Wendy Lim endured the pain and pushed the card over. "Thank you, but I don't need it now."
Even if he didn't step on her foot, she would not take the money. After she refused, and the pain on her instep disappeared.
"You've said that I will not get any money from Lim family in the future. I remember your words."
"Wendy Lim!" Johnny Lim was furious and glared at Wendy Lim with anger, "Don't push your luck! What do you want? Do you want to make me angry on purpose? You should be grateful to us!" "I won't take the card." Wendy Lim insisted.
Helen Lee stopped Johnny Lim from banging the table again and comforted him, "Well, Johnny! Don't forget Charlie is here today. Let's talk about it after dinner!"
"Charlie, I'm sorry to let you involve in our family issues!" Johnny Lim tried to calm down.
"It doesn't matter." Charlie Hogg said calmly.
"Dad, let's start eating!"
"Charlie, try the fish."
Yolanda Lim was sitting next to Charlie Hogg, and she almost snuggled up to him.
The picture of the two people made Wendy Lim felt a little unwell, and the pain on her hips and instep made her more uncomfortable. She had no appetite to eat. "Excuse me, I want to use the bathroom." She stood up and left. She was completely ignored at the table.
Charlie Hogg's plate was filled with various foods, but he didn't eat at all. He slowly put down his chopsticks.
"Sorry, I have to answer a phone call."
In the bathroom, Wendy Lim looked at herself in the mirror.
She was so aggrieved. She regretted coming to the Lim family as required. Her hips were still painful. She rubbed the hips and realized that it must have been bruised. Her instep was also in pain. She thought that it should be bruised as well.
Wendy Lim was accustomed to such treatment in the Lim family, but when she thought of Charlie Hogg's indifference, she felt as if she was stifling. She washed her hands and planned to leave after she went
out.
She opened the bathroom door and saw Charlie Hogg standing there.
He was a head taller than her and stared at her in silence with an indifference look.
Wendy Lim gritted her teeth and passed by him without saying a word.
However, her arm was grabbed by him after she took a few steps. The next second, he dragged her back to the bathroom and locked the door.
Wendy Lim was at the mercy of him.
Charlie Hogg pushed her to the washstand next to him, lowered his head and kissed her.
It was better to say he was biting her than to say he was kissing.
Charlie Hogg held the back of her head. Regardless of her struggle, he kissed her hard.
His kisses were so violent that blood spread in their mouths.
"What are you doing... It hurts!"
Wendy Lim was pissed off because there was another painful part of her body. Charlie Hogg's face suddenly closed to her, and his eyes were filled with anger. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Wendy Lim, do you forget what I've told you?"
