Chapter 356

Lionel held on to her hand and softly chided, “The stitches on your wound are still new, so you shouldn't exert too much force. If you strain your hand and aggravate your injury, you may end up worsening your condition! If that happens, it'll be too late to cry over spilled milk!”

It was only then that Wendy realized she had become too emotional and had used her injured arm to grab him, oblivious to the pain.

“I-I'm fine,” she sheepishly said.

Despite her reassurance, Lionel carefully checked her hand to make sure it was okay before resuming their conversation. “As the eldest daughter of the Hoffman family, I'm sure you've heard of the organization, Tarragon,” he said.

Wendy's eyes popped wide open, and she blurted out, “W-What did you say? T-Tarragon?”

Her reaction aroused Lionel's suspicion. Although Tarragon had a fearsome reputation, her response was over the top, and definitely not normal.

He instinctively knew that there was more to it than met the eye and that she was hiding something from him.

“Wends, please be honest with me. What do you know about Tarragon?” he asked.

Wendy shook her head and insisted, “Nothing. H-How is it possible I have anything to do with them? You don't have to beat around the bush, Nell. Just tell me what's on your mind.”

She took the glass of water from the bedside table and started drinking from it.

Her evasive manner made Lionel more suspicious, but he did not confront her further. Instead, he revealed, “Holden could be one of the top executives in Tarragon.”
