Chapter 588:

As soon as Wendy finished speaking, Shelton let out a cold sneer. “I knew you would deny it, so I came prepared—with proof p>

Wendy’s face stiffened. “What proof p>

Shelton didn’t bother answering. Instead, he shot a look at the bodyguard beside him.

Moments later, hurried footsteps echoed from the entrance.

The noise made Wendy whip her head toward the door. The moment she saw the men who entered, her already shaken composure crumbled even further.

“Wendy.” Vincent’s voice was low and heavy, his eyes dark with a tangled mix of emotions. “Is what Shelton said true p>

Wendy froze, her lips parting, but no words came out.

Among the men Shelton brought in were two young heirs from well-off families in Simgan. They weren’t on par with the Russell family or the Barnes family, but their wealth still carried weight.

Both of them had once been involved with Wendy, and now, after learning that Wendy had slept with all the men present, their expressions twisted with scorn.

They didn’t dare speak against the Russell family, but their eyes toward her—full of contempt—said everything.

“You lied to me!” Vincent’s roar cut through the silence.

Everyone in Simgan knew how Vincent doted on Wendy, chalking it up to brotherly affection. But only Vincent knew the truth.

He wasn’t related to Wendy by blood.

Adopted by the Russell family, he had known his real origins since the day Wendy was born.

And from the time Vincent was a teenager, he had harbored feelings for Wendy.

With his identity, being with Wendy was nothing but a pipe dream. If anyone ever uncovered his feelings for her, the Russell family would tear him apart.

But he had never dreamed Wendy would throw herself into his arms. Blinded by desire, he gave in to her every whim, convincing himself it was real love.

When Wendy got engaged to Shelton, jealousy ate Vincent alive. So when she tangled with other men, he didn’t just turn a blind eye—he even helped cover her tracks.

This was his twisted way of getting back at Shelton.

In his eyes, Shelton was nothing more than a joke.

But now, with the truth laid bare, Vincent realized he was the biggest fool of all.

“You deceitful woman! How dare you make a fool of me p>

His rage boiled over. With a sudden burst of strength, he tore free from the bodyguards and lunged at Wendy.

Before Wendy could react, his hand clamped around her throat. Her eyes widened in terror as his grip tightened, air choking out of her lungs. Her vision blurred. She was on the verge of blacking out when Wyatt gave Hiram a look.

Hiram signaled a bodyguard, who swiftly rushed forward and pried Vincent off Wendy before it was too late.
