Chapter 355

Wendy stood in the rain, and for a moment it felt like the downpour wasn't water, but years of humiliation crashing down on her shoulders. She couldn't breathe under the weight of it all.

The rain was now a heavy downpour.

"You're lucky," Tara said. "Getting humiliated by Sarah just earned you a bigger opportunity."

"What?"

"Cole's interested in you. Do his dirty work, and you'll get far more than Sarah ever could."
