Chapter 52 Secrets Revealed
Finished
Later, Shanelle found out that Henry was good at pretending. All the tenderness and care had been to get shares of the company, to push her out of the picture.
But Henry had always kept someone in his heart.
His first love, Wendy.
After learning about this, Shanelle had searched online for news about Wendy and found that she had married Chase in a flash marriage. From the videos and photos, Wendy was the kind of beauty that looked perfect from every angle.
How could anyone not be moved by a woman like that?
“I’m warning you, don’t get too close to Henry. You’ll end up finding nothing, and he’ll turn around and bite you instead. I’m a living example,” Shanelle said.
Wendy scoffed. “I’m not as stupid as you.”
Shanelle was angry, but it was useless. She had been stupid–stupid enough to lose her company and her parents‘ lives.
Before getting out of the car, Shanelle stood outside the passenger side door, leaning down to look at Wendy.
“Don’t forget what you promised me–you said you’d help me get revenge for my parents.
Wendy raised an eyebrow and tilted her head. “Revenge is your business. I’m just giving you a chance. Whether you can grab it is up to you.”
“I’m going to make Henry pay!”
When Wendy got home, Chase wasn’t there. She was a little annoyed. Sure, she’d said she wouldn’t be home for dinner, but did he really have to stay out so late?
On the other side of the city, Chase had been having dinner with Waylon for a long time.
Chase didn’t want to be the kind of man who lived in the dark. Earlier, Sammy had said that Wendy had always been protecting him. But he was a man–how could he let a woman shield.
him?
He wanted to know everything. He wanted to help Wendy.
After a long time, Waylon finally told him about the disputes between Quinn Group and the Harrison family.
“It’s not just about these recent things,” Waylon said. “Their problems go back to the previous generation.

glanced ar Chase through it and said, “Do you know why Madam Mandy never approved of them being together?”
Chase shook his head
Lemon closed her compact mirror and said lightly. “Because Wendy’s father’s death… is connected to the Harrison family”
“What?” Chase was stunned. His hand clenched on the table,
“In the industry, it’s still a secret, I only found out through my brother.”
Wendy’s father had died when she was six or seven. The police ruled it an accident, but Wendy’s. mother had never accepted it.
Back then, Quinn Group and the Harrison family were open rivals, fighting over business and clients, with no mercy whatsoever.
There had even been bloodshed.
“No one knows exactly what happened anymore. But you just need to remember; as long as Madam Mandy is alive, she’ll never allow Henry and Wendy to be together.”
In a flash, an image of Henry’s sinister face appeared in Chase’s mind.
Knowing Henry’s character, he wouldn’t want anyone standing in his way. He might even try to harm Madam Mandy.
Suddenly, Chase grabbed his phone and rushed out.
“Hey, where are you going!”
“Home!”
Waylon and Lemon exchanged a helpless look.
“Why did you tell him so much?” Waylon sighed, putting some food on Lemon’s plate.
Wendy didn’t want Chase to know these things.
Lemon picked at her salad, barely eating, propping her chin in her hand as she stared at the door. “Honestly, I always thought Chase was a great guy. Wendy just got to him first. Since she did, she better treat him well.
Waylon nearly spat out his water in shock.
“You… you like Chase?”
Lemon rolled her eyes. She didn’t know if her brother was smart or just plain dense. Back when they had been neighbors, she had constantly run over to Chase’s house. Did he really think it was

If he couldn’t figure that out, he probably wasn’t getting a girlfriend anytime soon.
Forget it. Anyway, I agree with Chase. He’s a man. It’s not right for him to hide behind a woman. Wendy kept the truth from him to protect him, but honestly, letting him know is the real way to protect him.”
Wendy had just gotten home and was working in the study when she heard the beep of the door unlocking. A moment later, Chase blew into the house like a gust of wind.
He didn’t even change his clothes–he just burst straight into the study.
“You’re back,” Wendy said, typing away on her keyboard, not even looking up.
Chase strode over and hugged her from behind.
Wendy’s hands paused.
“What’s gotten into you?” she asked with a soft laugh, turning around to hold his hand. Her smile was warm as she tilted her head back to look at his jaw, brushing it lightly with her fingers. “Missed me? Or are you mad you didn’t see me at the hospital today?”
Chase shook his head, resting his chin on top of Wendy’s head, messing up her hair.
Wendy laughed and pushed him away. “Stop it. I have a meeting soon.”
“I missed you,” Chase said.
In the past, every time he tried to say something emotional, Wendy would brush it off. He used to think she didn’t need his love.
But after what Lemon had said tonight, he realized Wendy’s protection had started long before he even knew it.
