It was obvious that Cindy was not the heiress of the Wace family.


    When Cindy first joined the Olteran family, she was much more timid than Vera. Cindy was cautious, while Vera feared nothing.


    Later, Patrick''s mother, Savannah Lee, gently asked her, "Cindy, what is your rtionship with the Wace family? Don''t lie to me; I know you''re not the heiress of the Wace family."


    Cindy, wanting to save face, initially intended to hide the truth, but looking at everyone in the Olteran family, she revealed her less-than-morous identity. "I am the daughter of my father and his mistress." That day, the Olteran family learned about Cindy''s past and felt deeply sorry for her without disdain.


    Vincent was no longer angry with Cindy; instead, he looked at her with much affection. He never wanted to marry a wealthy daughter in the first ce.


    In Vincent''s eyes, Cindy was wonderful. Since she had married him, she was his wife.


    Vincent said to Cindy, "Cindy, I will help you regain your dignity."


    Vincent''s path was clear from the beginning; he aimed to develop within government institutions.


    At that time, Vincent started as a low-level employee and gradually climbed the ranks.


    Not long after the marriage, Cindy was pregnant.


    When going for prenatal checkups, Cindy and Savannah went together. At that time, Savannah was also pregnant with Molly.


    Back then, the Olteran family in Zandonick was secretly gossiped about, and everyone found it hrious. Never had they heard of someone about to be a grandmother getting pregnant herself.


    The outside gossip almost drove Savannah to depression, and she even considered having an abortion. Later, Cindy kept counseling her, and she eventually got over it.


    Meanwhile, Savannah also guided Cindy to be bold and confident.


    They supported each other.


    Listening to this, Vera suddenly remembered what Emma had said; it was no wonder she had mentioned Cindy''s background that day.


    Hearing this, Vera felt heartbroken for Cindy.


    Vera turned to look at Dn and Joe, who were freeloading in the crowd.


    Once, they founded arge enterprise, but now, no one wanted to associate with Dn and Joe.


    Vera pulled Patrick toward them.


    Patrick said, "You''ve already had one fight today, no more. This is Jackson''s birthday party, so behave yourself."


    Vera bit her tongue as she walked past Dn and Joe.


    Suddenly, Vera stuck out her foot and tripped them.


    Vera thought to herself, ''How dare you hit Cindy? Don''t me me for tripping you secretly.''


    Two screams followed by the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.


    "Dad, are you okay?" Joe quickly squatted down to check on Dn, who was lying on the ground.


    Dn cursed, "Who the hell tripped me?"


    Turning his head, he saw the high-and-mighty Patrick ring at him coldly. And there was Vera in his arms, frightened, softly saying, "Darling, I''m scared." Patrick''s gaze returned to Vera, who was acting convincingly.


    Vera wrapped her arms around Patrick''s waist, buried her face in his chest, and whispered, "Honey, you said I have the right to be unreasonable, right?"


    Vera bing what she was today, Patrick had an undeniable responsibility!


    "If you can''t walk, then get out," Patrick shouted at Dn, who lost his temper again.


    Vera was very satisfied.


    Vera, emboldened by Patrick''s power, shouted at Dn and Joe on the ground, "Did you hear that? My husband told you to get out. If you scare me again, he will have you thrown out." People''s eyes turned toward them.


    Dn was helped up, and Vera hid her face in Patrick''s chest.


    Patrick stared at the shameless Dn and Joe.


    They also stared at Vera, who was still acting.


    Cindy also saw it and quickly ran over. "Vera, what happened again?"


    Vera cutely said, "Cindy, someone slipped and fell, and it scared me."


    Cindy nced at Dn and Joe, whom she had just met, and called over two attendants, instructing them, "Escort these two out; they don''t have invitations."


    Dn and Joe were angry. "Cindy, you!"


    After a while, Vincent saw Cindy there, facing Dn and Joe from the Wace family.


    Worried that Cindy might be bullied, Vincent walked over to support her.


    The four of them stared at Dn and Joe from the Wace family.


    In the end, Dn and Joe were escorted out by the servants.


    Vera let out a sigh of relief. "Great, the people I don''t like are gone."


    Patrick said, "Vera, you''ve be naughty."


    Vera smiled sweetly and said, "Of course, I can be this naughty, all thanks to you spoiling me."


    Vera waspletely ttering Patrick, so he wouldn''t scold her when they got home.


    Vera didn''t know she had already be the talk of the party.


    Just because there were so many stories circting about Vera, initially, the cooperation between the Olteran Group and the Harrison Group was based on her word. Everyone was already very curious about Vera.


    Everyone was chatting, but privately, many were spying on Vera.


    Fighting directly with the Tooker family had already shocked everyone.


    They thought, ''Vera has just deliberately tripped Dn and then yed innocent?''


    ''Vera is truly a cunning girl.''


    ''Patrick might not know Vera''s true nature.''


    Vera didn''t care what people thought of her; she saw a new batch of sandwiches and immediately ran over to eat them.


    Patrick chased after Vera from behind.


    Cindy, having nothing to do, said to Patrick, "Patrick, you can go chatting with them. I''ll keep an eye on Vera this time. I won''t let her out of my sight."


    Patrick was not reassured. "Cindy, you can''t keep up with her. She''s like a rabbit; if you don''t hold onto her, she''ll disappear in a sh. She''s young, and you can''t outrun her." Vera ate a sandwich and suddenly felt choked. just then, she saw an open bottle of wine nearby.


    She went over and sniffed it; it didn''t smell like alcohol, so she poured herself a ss.


    "Is this grape juice?" Vera filled her ss.


    She took a sip. "Why does it taste weird? Is grape juice supposed to taste like this?"


    After saying that, she held the ss and drank it all in one go.


    "Vera!" Patrick saw Vera drinking and immediately called out to her, but it was toote. Thest sip went down her throat.


    After drinking, Vera stuck out her tongue in difort. "This wine must be expired; it tastes awful."


    Patrick and Cindy both walked over to Vera. They looked at the ss in Vera''s hand and the bottle next to her.


    Cindy nced at the alcohol content on the bottle, then looked at Vera and Patrick. "How well does Vera handle alcohol?"


    Patrick looked at Vera, who turned to look at him, blinking her eyes. "I''ve never tested it."


    Cindy asked Vera, "How much did you drink just now?"


    Vera handed her ss to Cindy.


    Cindy measured about 0.4 inches. "This much?"


    Vera shook her head. "I filled it to the top."


    Cindy and Patrick, both shocked by Vera, said, "Vera, are you crazy?"


    Vera frowned, confused, "I''m not crazy. Crazy people can''t count, but I can. Look at my fingers, one, two, three... eight, nine, ten. Patrick, I can count. I''m not crazy." She was already babbling. Patrick looked at Vera''s gradually reddening cheeks.


    Just now, while Patrick was talking to Cindy, Vera had drunk another ss of wine.


    Most people would be fine with just a little, but Vera had drunk a whole bottle!
