After three years of marriage, Wendy Stewart was used to Michael Lucas's sarcastic remarks, his frequent threats about getting divorced, and even his indulgence of a mistress. She thought that she could bear with this her entire life, until she accidentally got pregnant with a child that Michael did not want. Finally despondent, Wendy signed the divorce agreement and left. She thought they could have parted ways forever, but Michael refused to stop looking for her after the divorce. When they met again, she was the world's top designer. Smiling sweetly at her ex-husband, she said, "My dear, we're already divorced." Michael simply stared at her coldly, "Tell me, what will it take for us to reconcile?"
If Wendy did not know Winnie's motive, which was to sow discord in her relationship with Michael, she would have believed fully in what Winnie said earlier. Winnie had put a lot of thought and effort into convincing her to get a divorce.
Wendy sighed and questioned Winnie, "In this case, why didn't you get a divorce yourself, Mrs. Lucas? Since you are advocating that maintaining a marriage like this is meaningless, you should get a divorce with Mr. Lucas then."
"If we are divorced, that Lily would be able to officially be Mrs. Lucas. I have been watching over this family all these years, I will not give it up on a silver platter to that woman. As long as I remain Mrs. Lucas, she will forever be the mistress without an official status." Winnie's eyes eluded malignance as she spoke.
Wendy nodded her head immediately. "Mrs. Lucas, you are right. That should be the case. Why give up your throne for another woman who doesn't deserve it?"
