Wanda’s Regret
Lilian interjected, “Hey, take a look at this new fund I bought. It’s not showing any growth. Remember
how Welln Corporation talked about investing in pharmaceuticals? Why hasn’t the fund gone up? Is Mr.
Hilton just making empty promises?”
“Have you met Mr. Hilton?” Wanda immediately straightened up.
She did not forget her main purpose she came in the first ce. “Has he mentioned anything?”
Zendaya chuckled and retorted, “How are we supposed to meet him whenever we want? Even Ewan
has trouble with it.”
“We used to coborate with Welkin Corporation. Jerry, Mr. Hilton’s assistant, has been friends with
Ewan for years. It’s not easy to meet him!” Wanda replied calmly.
Zendaya couldn’t be bothered with her, as her words were just idle gossip.
Wanda was about to say more because Zendaya didn’t seem to believe her. All of a sudden, Lilian
eximed while browsing her phone, “The Empathy Clinic! Oh my goodness! Mrs. Yates, isn’t the
Empathy Clinic in Waterview Alley owned by your family? I’m certain of it!”
“That shabby massage parlor? It’s not rted to us,” Wanda felt embarrassed as she expected the
conversation to turn to the live stream. “My mother–inw runs it.”
Zendaya chuckled even more. “Oh, it’s definitely not your thing. I mean, it’s be so popr, and I
can’t imagine you pulling it off.”
With that, she stood up and followed the masseuse into a private room.
Wanda was still puzzled by Zendaya’s remark. She mmed her teacup down in frustration.
“Can’t you all see how overbearing Mrs. Jennings is? She’s always monitoring me, just waiting for me
to sl*p up! Does she really think I’d ever want my mother–inw to start live streaming? How is that
any different from begging for money!”
Feeling ufortable with the tension, Lilian handed her the phone. “Why don’t you take a look at this
live stream?”
“What’s so interesting about it? It’s just a small–scale…” Wanda’s words trailed off as she watched the
video, “Is this trending?”
Since Wanda wasn’tpletely clueless, Lilian rified, “It’s not just trending, there are also tips
involved.”
“Tips?” Wanda quickly grabbed her phone, eager to see for herself how popr the Empathy Clinic live
stream was.
But Lilian got straight to the point. “The profit is nearing half a million dors.”
Wanda wasn’t sheltered, but recently, the Yates family was struggling financially. How could a
livestream rake in that much money?
Lilian looked at the dumbfounded Wanda and frowned deeply. “Mrs. Yates, is your rtionship with
your mother–inw really that bad? She’s be so popr in Southdale, and you didn’t even
know?”

Over the years, Wanda had always projected the image of a virtuous wife and caring mother in public.
Despite feeling bitter about Lilian’sment, Wanda could only grit her teeth and swallow her pride,
saying, “My mother–inw does as she pleases, and I don’t pay it much mind. I simply fulfill my duties
as a daughter–inw.”
However, Lilian was skeptical of Wanda’s words and concluded that she was insincere. As for their
friendship? Lilian couldn’t be bothered to engage with her any further.
Wanda had yet to realize that her carefully cultivated social circle had beenpletely destroyed.
As the profits of the live stream surged on her phone screen, she tightened her grip on the device,
longing for it to be her own.
The livestream had actually raked in half a million dors in just one and a half hours. She couldn’t
bring herself to imagine what the next day, or the day after, would bring. What other business could
generate money so quickly?
Wanda suddenly remembered Margaret’s request for a loan. Now, she deeply regretted not agreeing to
it.
She med herself for not lending Margaret the mere five thousand dors she requested.
As the thought sank in, Wanda felt increasingly suffocated with regret.
If she had lent the money to Margaret, the livestream would undoubtedly be hers now. Wanda nced
at the phone screen once more, and a malicious gleam shed in her eyes.
