Chapter 458
In the VIP lounge of the racecourse.
A special medical worker came to help treat Wendy''s injury. Fortunately, her injury was not very
serious, but her clothes were thin and her skin was almost all scuffed up. In particr, her forehead
was injured and bleeding, and her left wrist was sprained.
But it was already a great fortune ...
After dealing with the injury, Wendy came out from the inner room.
This time, Mr. Wace did not break his promise and ended the negotiation as agreed. He also
dismissed the two fierce-looking bodyguards, leaving only his grandson in the room, and left her
some time.
Francis handed her a cup of tea. "Miss Lim, have a cup of hot tea!"
"Thank you ... " Wendy expressed her gratitude.
The crutch in Mr. Wace''s hand stood on the side of the fence. At this time, he was also holding a
teacup in his hand. The white smoke was curling up, and his old but bright eyes looked straight at
her. "Little girl, you won the game with your life and I won''t go back on my word. Tell me why you
came here!"
Hearing Mr. Wace call her little girl, Wendy felt a little embarrassed. Although he''s old enough to
call her like that, she''s not little anymore ...
Wendy''s face turned serious, then said in a deep voice, "Mr. Wace, I hope you can withdraw your
case!"
"Why should I do that?" Chase retorted.
" ... " Wendy pursed her lips.
She was stumped by such a straightforward question because she could not answer it. He indeed
had lost a huge amount of money, and filed awsuit was a normal act of defending his rights and
interests. There was indeed no reason to withdraw the case, anyway, he was not a saint.
Wendy gritted her teeth and said firmly, "Charlie was wronged!"
After hearing this, Mr. Wace was unmoved. He sipped the tea and said slowly, "Really? It''s a pity
that I don''t think so. To say the least, if he is really wronged, then you don''t have to worry, and you
don''t have toe here to me!"
"... " Wendy remained silent.
Mr. Wace put down the teacup in his hand and looked at her with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
It seemed that until now he still did not believe that such a soft and weak little girl in front of him
dared to do bungee jumping under the premise of fear of heights, and do such a desperate act
while horse racing. If she was not lucky today, she might have fallen and be disabled, or even
died here.
But when he walked towards her, she didn''t even think about those things. All she wanted was to
get a plea for her man.
"Little girl, I understand how you feel, and I also admire your courage!" Mr. Wace crossed his
hands in front of his chest and said slowly, "Although I know that the Hogg family is very influential
in Ice City, thew does not tolerate mercy. I suggest that instead of wasting your time with me, you
hire him a goodwyer. At least when the court trial resultse down, it will help him get a little
better result!"
Wendy curled up her fingers, and her nails were all inserted into her palms.
"Mr. Wace, Charlie was really wronged!" She bit her lips. It seemed that she wasck of words
and could only emphasize this sentence. She looked down and the light from the diamond ring
reflected in her eyes. "I don''t want to hide it from you. In fact, Charlie''s father, Chairman Hogg,
always opposed to my marriage with him. The daughter-inw chosen by Chairman Hogg has
never been me, and Chairman Hogg would never agree him to marry
II
me ...
"Charlie has disobeyed his father for me more than once, and he has decided not to continue to be
the president of the Hogg''s Group. He is ready to take me away from Ice City!"
Mr. Wace was surprised hearing that, "He chose you over his career?"

"He''s quite a bold man!" Francis, who had always listened to them in a very gentle manner, echoed
at this time. Although Wendy was sitting very straight, she still straightened her back and said with
certainty, "So, Mr. Wace, Charliecan even say no to the president of Hogg''s Group, so how can
he maliciously steal your money? I can vouch for him with my own personality, Charlie is definitely
not that kind of person!"
Mr. Wace frowned slightly. Although his expression softened, he quickly sneered and said,
"Perhaps, he did this just to get money to live abroad with you!"
"Mr. Wace!"
Wendy clenched her fists.
She had heard this before at the police station. Although she knew that someone who didn''t know
the truth might misunderstand, she was still angry. She swallowed her saliva and calmed down.
Then she said again, "He won''t, I believe in him! I think you once had a lover and understood that
feeling. Even if the whole world didn''t believe you, she will!"
When Wendy said these words, her eyes had the light of firm trust.
Obviously she was sitting with her back to the window, the sunlight outside fell around her, but the
light in her eyes was brighter, brighter than the diamonds in her hands, and too bright for people to
look at.
Mr. Wace was absent-minded for a moment. Then, he lowered his head and stroked his drooping
white beard.
Wendy held her breath nervously, knowing that he was making a decision. After a while, Mr.
Wace finally looked up again. He shook his head and said, "Little girl, I''m sorry. I''m afraid your trip
to Hong Kong is for nothing. I can''t withdraw my case!"
Wendy''s suspended heart was suddenly crushed by the stones.
The saliva stuck in her throat was forced back into her throat, and her mouth was filled with the
bitter taste of disappointment.
She still didn''t make it ...
Although she was not sure she could seed from the time she asked Farr to book a flight for her,
deep down she always had a ray of hope. So she did not feel much surprised, but still,
disappointed. However, she had anticipated such an oue and had prepared for the worst.
Because she had long thought about it, if Charlie was really sentenced to prison, she was ready to
wait for him toe out!
Mr. Wace saw through her thoughts from the expression on her face and could not help but be
shocked again.
Wendy knew that it was useless no matter how hard she tried to persuade Mr. Wace. Although
she was reluctant, she could only let out a breath, got up from the sofa and nodded, "Mr. Wace,
sorry to disturb you!"
And then, she walked out of the lounge.
"Miss Lim, I''ll walk you out!"
Upon hearing the voice, Wendy turned around and saw Francis, who had caught up with her. When
she was at the racecourse, she was carried to the lounge by the stretcher. She did not know much
about theyout of the racecourse, so she did not refuse.
Francisforted her, "Grandpa has his reasons for doing this."
"Hum ... " Wendy nodded.
She didn''t me Mr. Wace, and it made sense that Mr. Wace didn''t grant her request.
After walking out of the racecourse, Wendy turned around and wanted to thank Francis. She
opened her mouth, but she still didn''t know his name. At present, she only knew that he was Mr.
Wace''s grandson.
