"Z-Zach?" Wendy looked up in surprise, but her wrist was roughly shaken off.


    Zach shot her a cold nce. "Didn''t I tell you to rest at home? You don''t need to concern yourself with work matters. Why didn''t you listen to me?"


    "I''m sorry, Zach! I just wanted to help however I could. I didn''t think Serena would..."


    Before she could finish, Serena let out a mockingugh.


    "All I did was say a few words. You went and threw yourself at me. Wendy, Zach saw everything just now. You might want to choose your words wisely."


    "I-I just lost my bnce in the heat of the moment."


    Wendy didn''t dare provoke Zach further. She could only bite her lip, muttering softly with her head down.


    Whether she had truly lost her bnce, anyone with eyes could see the truth.


    Serena rolled her eyes, not bothering to engage.


    Unexpectedly, Zach took it seriously and examined Serena with concern. "Did you get hurt?"


    Serena couldn''t be bothered to respond.


    "I''ve delivered the proposal. I''m leaving." She turned and walked out.


    Behind her, Howard finally picked up on Zach''s attitude and hurried forward with a smile.


    "Mr. Foster, Nina has been quite busy with worktely. Let''s sit down and discuss the project. The girls can sort out their own problems. We men shouldn''t get involved. But once we finalize this deal, we can buy some gifts for Nina to cheer her up."


    Hearing that gifts would be bought to appease Serena, Zach finally sat down to discuss business. But before that, he ordered someone to send Wendy home.


    Wendy stomped her foot in frustration as she left.


    She muttered under her breath, "Why does Serena get to handle business while I don''t? What makes her better than me?"


    "You''re not inferior to Serena in any way." Sarah''s voice came from behind.


    Wendy immediately turned around.


    Sarah bore some resemnce to Serena. But Sarah''s eyes were colder, mirroring Wendy''s.


    The two locked eyes, instantly forming an unspoken alliance. They moved to a secluded spot.


    Sarah spoke first. "If Serena wasn''t so lucky, she wouldn''t even be worth mentioning. She doesn''t deserve to stand on the same level as us."


    "You''re right. She''s just luckier than us, that''s all." Wendy nodded in agreement.


    Noticing the red mark on Sarah''s face, she instinctively assumed Serena had pped her.


    She softened her voice. "Poor thing. You''re such a pretty woman. It must be awful to have her bossing you around like that. It breaks my heart to see."


    "Exactly. I even thought you and Zach were a perfect match, but she just had toe between you two," Sarah replied gently.


    Their words were gentle, but their thoughts werepletely aligned. They could be friends and work together since they shared the same enemy.


    Sarah curled her lips into a smirk. "Since we both hate her, why don''t we team up? Get rid of her, and we''ll both have an easier time."


    Wendy''s interest was piqued. "How do we team up?"


    In the quiet corner, the two quickly reached an agreement.


    That evening, Serena had just returned home to rest when Sarah unexpectedly called.


    "Serena, let''s have dinner tonight. Can we talk about the six million dors that Uncle Bryan owes you?"


    "What''s there to talk about?"


    Serena was surprised, thinking Sarah had just learned about it from Rachel. Given how much Rachel spoiled Sarah, would she really have told Sarah about something this big?
