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?"
Following Anthony's departure, Christian wiped off the blood at the corners of his lips. He took Wendy's hand and left the office as well, walking past Michael in the process.
When they passed by Michael, Wendy tilted her head to glance at his face. Just as expected, Michael's face was sullen, and his gaze was filled with hatred.
Wendy often encountered this side of Michael. In the past, he would look at her with the exact same expression every time he came home drunk. As their eyes met, Wendy subconsciously lowered her head. She felt like someone who had done something wrong and was afraid to make eye contact with Michael.
Once they had left the office, Wendy flung Christian's hand away.
Christian, surprisingly, did not continue to force her to play along. After the elevator doors opened, he allowed her to step in first.
