When Hannah heard that Wendy was willing to be Charlie's concubine, she felt anxious.
She blurted out, "Wendy, have you lost your mind? Why must you be that loser's concubine? He's no match for you!" 4 Wendy sighed, then said softly, "Mother, to be honest, Charlie isn't bad. He is handsome, responsible, and has a good personality. He's way better than Gerald." 3 "Ridiculous!" Hannah glared at her before blurting out, "That loser is no match for you in any way!" 1 Wendy smiled bitterly, "In these years, my situation cannot be any worse. I've fallen from being a phoenix to becoming a chicken now." 6 Speaking of this, Wendy couldn't help but sobbed," Mother, look at me. My reputation is gone. No guys will bother to giveeven a single glance..." 2 Seeing Wendy's tears streamed down on her face, Hannah embraced her head into her arm and comforted her, "My lovely daughter, we shouldn't think this way. What is reputation? Isn't staying alive more important than anything else?" 1 Hannah then continued, "After all, you've been in a relationship with only a few men-namely Gerald, Kenneth, and Jeffrey. There are only three men in total. You're in your twenties and what's the problem with being in a relationship with three men? There are many undergraduate young ladies who are more experienced than you are, yet they aren't bothered about their reputations being tarnished. Why are you afraid?" 4 Wendy shook her head in tears, "Mother, this isn't the same. In college, it is an enclosed society whereby no matter how many times one has dated or how promiscuous one has been, who else would care after graduation?" "But, I'm different! When I was with Gerald, everyone in Aurous Hill knew about it!" "After that, I was with Kenneth. The entire city knew about it too!" "Ever since then, my reputation has gone. Everyone knows that I was in a relationship with a man older than my own father and they despise me!" "Later on, I was passed on to Jeffrey by Kenneth like one of his business products, which was also notoriously well-known in Aurous Hill..." Hannah showed a painful expression and choked, "My lovely daughter, you're innocent in these incidents. It's all the fault of your dad, your grandma, and I! If not for us being so money-minded, you wouldn't have been forced to sell your body..." 1 Then, Hannah raised her hand and slapped herself. She said furiously, "I'm sorry! I'm inhumane!" a Wendy quickly held her hand and cried, "Mother, you shouldn't blyourself for everything. I'm partly to be blamed too due to my irresistance to the temptation of money. I was willing to sell my body in exchange for a luxurious life. Thus, it's not your fault, you don't have to hit yourself..." Hannah sighed in tears, "What wrong have I done that I deserve this kind of life?! I once was living a good life but why has it beclike this...." 4 Wendy, who was beside her, nodded repeatedly, "I also can't afford to live a hellish life like now. To be frank, not only am I willing to becCharlie's concubine but I'm also willing to bechis servant in exchange for a steady life..." Speaking of this, Wendy cried, "Now, I'm really jealous of Claire..." "Initially, everyone thought she had destroyed her own life by marrying a loser...." "Who would've thought this loser of her has been very faithful to her throughout these four years..."
"Moreover, the loser is willing to do everything for her. He would never abandon Claire even if it means to be despised by the world." 4
"What's more, the loser has turned over a new leaf and beca reputable Master Wade who is respected by all the Aurous Hill VIPs. Isn't he a powerful potential market stock?" "Look at Charlie. He's your typical kind of reliable man ||
"As for Gerald, what's the point of being rich?" "He's just another selfish coward who has slipped away in times of darkness." After hearing Wendy's words, Hannah paused for a moment. She said melancholically, "You're right.
Claire may look silly, but I've never thought she's a fool in disguise!" X
