Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1069 A Member of the Gardner Family

When Nicole was faced with the pretentious Evelyn, she couldn't be bothered with her. Instead, she pretended not to see the other woman, deliberately turning her head to Wendy, saying, "Why don't we head upstairs?"

Wendy went along with her decision to ignore Evelyn and nodded. "Sure, let's place our orders first. This place is really busy. Once it's lunchtime, it will take them some time to prepare the food."

The look on Evelyn's face turned sour when both of them dismissed her, and next to her, the woman who wanted to suck up to her hurriedly raised her voice and said, "That's what you'd expect from a person raised by a shabby family. She hasn't got any manners at all and didn't even know that she should respond to a greeting. Evelyn, it's so embarrassing to have a sister like that."

When Nicole continued to turn a blind eye to them, the things she said turned even more unpleasant, "Tsk, Mrs. Gould shouldn't have acknowledged her. A hillbilly without any elegance of the upper-class, she's just a disgrace to the Gould Family."

Even though it didn't matter to Nicole, Wendy couldn't accept such mean things being said and glared at the woman fiercely. "This is a restaurant, not the washroom. Please don't spout sh*t out of your mouth."

The woman's eyes turned large with fury when she was told off by Wendy, and she pointed a finger at her. "Who the hell are you to shout around here? Evelyn is the young lady of the Wrenn Family. Do you think you can offend her?"

Evelyn was a little unhappy that this dumb woman was digging her own grave, but she didn't say anything harsh and simply said, "Alright, don't say anymore. Since Nicole is here to eat and doesn't want to speak to me, we don't have any reason to annoy them."

Now that Evelyn was being so easygoing, the people around couldn't help but think that Nicole the hillbilly had no manners at all even though both were the young ladies of the Wrenn Family.

However, Evelyn's pretentious act made Wendy furious. If she had known that this would happen, she would have gone to another restaurant to avoid these oddballs. "Nicole, let's go to another restaurant. I'm losing my appetite just by being around these people."

This statement immediately sparked the fury of the woman next to Evelyn, and she stepped forward to grab Wendy's arm. There was unconcealed rage burning in her eyes as she growled, "Didn't your mother teach you any manners at all?"

As she was grabbing Wendy harshly, Wendy's face crumpled into a look of pain. Nicole immediately caught sight of the pained look on Wendy's face. So, she took a big stride and pressed one of the woman's meridians with her fingertip. The woman shrieked and released her grip. She clutched her hand that was shaking from the pain and stuttered, "You... What did you do to me?"

"Wendy, let's go." Nicole held Wendy's hand and wanted to leave, but the woman wouldn't let her off the hook so easily. It was as though she was under Evelyn's spell. She brazenly stood in their way and hissed, "Hold it right there! We're not done yet! Are you planning to leave just like this after hurting me?"

Wendy's blood started boiling, and she shoved her aside. Finally, she placed her hands on her hips and snapped, "Have you lost your mind? Not even a guard dog barks as loudly as you do. Why do you insist on asking for a scolding?"

"Who the hell are you? A young girl like you has no right to interfere in this."

Wendy snorted coldly and crossed her arms across her chest. "I'm Wendy Gardner and Nicole is my sister-in-law. Of course, I have to defend her when you're hurling such terrible insults about her!"

After the woman heard Wendy's name, she paused for a second before reality slowly sank in. Her mouth opened, and she stammered in shock, "I-Is your name Wendy Gardner? Are y-you... the Gardner Family's...'

The smile on Wendy's face turned even sweeter when she saw how terrified the woman was, and she nodded. "Yes, I'm the Young Lady of the Gardner Family. I'll remember you from now on. So, I suppose congratulations are in order as any companies related to the Gardner Family will not cooperate with your family in the future."
