Wendy felt sad. When Eldest Young Master Jackson was with the old madam, there was a hint of tenderness in his voice even though he sounded indifferent. However, when he spoke to Wendy, there was a noticeable coldness in his voice. She thought that he was unfair toward her, but she could only swallow her grief. She would have to wait until Eldest Young Master Jackson fell in love with her before she could throw a temper tantrum.
Wendy looked at Hunter with grief in her face. “I… My waist hurt a little. Sorry…”
She pushed against the flower bed next to her to try to pull herself up. However, she fell back down again before she could get up. She looked at Hunter again, and she was so anxious that she started to cry.
“I’m sorry, Eldest Young Master Jackson, I… I can’t get up. Please, give me a little more time.”
Hunter glanced at Ewan, and the bodyguard immediately stooped by Wendy’s side and said, “Let me help you.”
Wendy was discouraged. Eldest Young Master Jackson had promised the old madam to protect her, had he not? Even though he did teach those bullies a lesson, he had not protected her. Would he call that protection?
She kept her eyes on Hunter as if she dared not do anything but waited for his instructions. Unfortunately, Hunter merely turned around and strode toward WongRiver Pavilion.
He had left her here.
“Miss Gale, let me help you back into the house.” Ewan remained by her side and reached out to her.
Wendy finally came up with a reason for his action. Eldest Young Master Jackson had a fiancée, so if he wanted to take care of her, he could not do it so openly. After all, there were other people in the garden. Since he commanded his people to take care of her, it must have meant that he cared about her. If he had not bothered about her, why would he ground Snowy? Renee was also in a miserable condition because of her. Wendy felt so much better after she pondered about the situation.
She moaned lightly as she put her hand in Ewan’s palm. “My waist… it hurts. Please be gentle.”
“Very well.” Ewan supported her and pulled her up gently.
“Are you heading out? I can take you to the garage.”
“I… I can’t go now, I…”
“Is it that bad?” Ewan thought that girls had little strength, and since a girl had kicked Wendy, she could not have been severely hurt. However, it looked like he was wrong as Wendy looked severely injured.
“I haven’t been well since I was a child. I’m sorry…” Wendy looked down as if to hide her thoughts.
Ewan said, “Then I shall take you to WongRiver Pavilion for a short rest. Perhaps let the doctor check on you.”
“It’s alright. I just need a break. There’s no need to trouble the doctor.”
She could go to the WongRiver Pavilion; Wendy felt like she was on cloud nine! Everyone knew that Hunter did not grant entrance easily into his WongRiver Pavilion. The two young misses had tried to take their friends there, but they were not allowed to go in. Wendy could not believe that she could waltz into it so easily.
Once Hunter was back at the WongRiver Pavilion, he went straight to his study, and he remained there for a long time. Wendy made herself at home. The old madam had told her that Eldest Young Master Jackson had agreed to take care of her in the future.
One could be fearless when showered with love. She thought that no one would dare to offend her after what had happened to Snowy. Just as she basked in her good fortune, she saw a slender figure appear in the courtyard outside the hall. What a coincidence! She did not expect to see her sister then. She looked around, and when she was sure that Ewan was gone, Wendy stood up and blocked Emily at the entrance before the hall.
“Why are you here?” Emily had stayed in the dormitory for the past two days, so she did not know about the situation at the Jackson family.
Wendy had been at the Jackson mansion three days ago, and she did not expect her to be there still. However, why was she not at the old madam’s room? Why was she at the WongRiver Pavilion? Since when could anyone enter the place so easily?
“Hunter invited me. Why can’t I be here?”
Wendy pursed her lips. She always presented her best side to the public, even to those she despised. Emily ignored her and walked past her into the hall. Liam had driven her home from the university and told her that Eldest Young Master Jackson was looking for her. She was stunned to see Wendy, though. It looked like her sister would not let her off that easily. She spread her arms to block Emily’s path.
” Hunter is busy. Are you going to disturb him?”
“Eldest Young Master Jackson told me to come here. Why can’t I see him?” There was no expression on Emily’s face.
“Emily, you have to understand how things work. Now that I’m here, you are no longer needed.”
Emily’s eyes finally landed on Wendy. How could that woman be so full of herself?
“Too bad it’s not your call.”
Emily tried to leave, and as Wendy stepped forward to stop her, the two sisters immediately collided into each other.
Wendy fell onto the ground and yelped. “Argh! Emily, why must you bully me?”
Emily was so disgusted with her sister’s lame trick that she almost vomited. However, some people could not tell right from wrong! Ewan had just come out of the hall and saw Wendy on the ground. He rushed toward her immediately.
“Miss Wendy, what happened? Are you hurt?”
It looked like even Eldest Young Master Jackson’s people had taken to addressing her as Miss Wendy! Emily frowned, but she said nothing. Ewan helped Wendy up as he glanced at Emily with caution.
“Young Madam, Miss Wendy is a guest of the young master. Please be polite to her in the future.”
“What did you say?” Emily’s face sank.
Be polite to Wendy? What did he mean? Had Wendy’s lousy acting deceived him?
Such was the evaluation skill of Eldest Young Master Jackson’s best bodyguard! Ewan knew that he must have made the young madam feel terrible, but he had to uphold the task that Eldest Young Master Jackson had given him.
He explained plainly, “From today onward, Miss Wendy is Eldest Young Master Jackson’s godsister. To bully her is the same as provoking the young master.”
Godsister!
Wendy was shocked. That was totally out of her expectation. What godsister? She had wanted to be Hunter’s woman! How could she be content with the old madam’s decision to get the Eldest Young Master Jackson to only care for her? She had to get rid of Emily! Otherwise, she would be in a lot of trouble!
On the other hand, those words were like a sharp stab into Emily’s heart! She felt as if her heart was bleeding. What god siblings? Who knew what would happen in the future? Everyone knew that none of the god siblings’ relationships were as pure as they intended them to be.
Emily knew that she could never be with Eldest Young Master Jackson, and it was okay with her if he were to get another woman. Well, as long as that woman was not Wendy. She would never accept it if he were to choose Wendy! That woman had killed her in her past life!
Wendy? Absolutely not!
