The Billionaire's Mistake

Chapter 276: Wendy’s sharp tongue

He felt he had reached the very lowest point of his life.

"I can tell you. Using your wife as bait so she refuses to see you, now there is opportunity for other men to take her," she said, and he froze so quickly, he might as well have turned to stone.

She swung the door open to reveal Mathew standing on the other side, and her expression became guarded and wary. Why was he here?

"What are you doing here, Mathew?" she asked, her voice laced with caution. She had only just calmed down and cleaned up and he was here again.

After she asked, she regretted it. She walked around him and made to leave when she heard him speak.
