Chapter 56

Wendy's eyes widened in shock. Her fingers tightened around the ring on her hand, gripping it so hard her knuckles turned white.

She had seen this ring in Zach's pocket a few days ago. She thought it was meant for her and had slipped it on happily, and Zach hadn't said a word.

But now... It turned out to be something Serena didn't want. Did that mean he could just hand something Serena discarded to her?

Wendy's chest heaved with anger as humiliation was churning inside her like a storm. Tears welled in her eyes as she stared at Zach.

And now, here he was, standing in front of her, begging Serena not to be a mistress and asking her to come back to him.

No, she wouldn't let that happen. She had fought too hard to take everything away from Serena.

A thought flashed through her mind, and without hesitation, Wendy clutched her chest, gasping for air. Her body went limp as she collapsed into Zach's arms.

Zach panicked. “Wendy! I need to get her to the hospital. Rena, we'll talk about this later. I'll find another time to talk to you soon!"

Without another word, he scooped Wendy up and dashed off.
