By ying the perfect victim, Wendy had instantly understood why she needed to involve Sebastian.


    With Sebastian tied to her, Wendy''s words carried more weight.


    Sebastian conspired with her to destroy the Don Group. Sebastian conspired with her to frame Natalie. Without Sebastian''s backing, how could she have possibly pulled off something so audacious?


    Everyone in their circle had seen how Wendy used to dote on Joanna, which made her current disy of misery all the more convincing.


    Had losing everything finally broken Wendy''s proud spirit?


    With nothing left to lose, she had be fearless. Joanna suppressed her shock and said to Wendy, "It seems your illness is acting up again..."


    "Joanna, how dare you call her mentally ill? You''re the one who''s delusional! Wendy is already in such a pitiful state, and still you use her of being crazy, trying to discredit everything she''s done for you. Joanna, do you really think someone like you deserves to be a public figure?"


    Mrs. Wilson helped Wendy to her feet. Wendy looked at Joanna, tears streaming down her face. "Joanna, I know I was wrong. I''ll never cause trouble for you again. I''ll let you and your family be. Please, just spare me, I''m begging you...ASSASAS .....”


    Joanna was speechless.


    She was in an impossible position.


    Wendy''s repeated cries of "Please, just spare me" echoed in her ears like thunderps.


    Joanna had never felt so cornered.


    "Wendy, stop harassing my daughter! You were the one who came between me and Nathan "


    "But you''ve been living in the vi Nathan bought for you all this time. I checked the property transfer date; it was the year after Joanna was born. You knew about me the entire time, but I had no idea you existed. How could I have possiblye between you?"


    "Anyone who knew me back then knows how passionately Nathan pursued me. He was single, and I was single. How did I be the third party in your rtionship?" Wendy demanded tearfully. Sophia wanted to turn the tables on her, but she wouldn''t let her.


    Today, she had achieved her goal. Joanna could no longer leverage Wendy''s social connections.


    And now, it was time for the other Mrs. Wilson to make her entrance. Sure enough, the next moment, Mrs. Wilson''s furious voice cut through the air.


    "Sophia, you shameless bitch! How dare you your face at my. show


    party? Did you think about how you''d face me when you were sleeping with my husband?"  fo


    That was right. The party was hosted by none other than Mrs. Wilson.


    And Wendy had been personally invited by her.


    Wendy had provided Mrs. Wilson with the evidence: a video of Sophia in bed with Mr. Wilson.


    Sophia''s eyes widened in terror at the sight of Mrs. Wilson. Nathan had already beaten her once over this affair.


    If her rtionship with Mr. Wilson


    was exposed now, she could forget


    about bing a respected


    socialite. She wouldn''t be


    ableto


    show her face in this circle again, and she''d only drag her daughter down with her.


    Sophia was in agony. Why?


    Why had things turned out this way?


    This was nothing like the future she had envisioned.


    In her future, she was the respected Mrs. Scott.


    Mr. Wilson was supposed to be irrelevant. Their meetings were always discreet. She


    had no idea how Mrs. Wilson had found out.


    She shook her head frantically. "Mrs.


    Wilson, what happened with Mr Wilson was a misunderstanding. Please, don''t ruin my reputation like this."


    Mrs. Wilson sneered. "You? A cheap slut like you wants a reputation?"
