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?"
Looking at Todd's expression, Wendy knew that he was worried for her. She let out a sigh and continued, "Todd, Mr. Woods and I have already fallen out. Christian is busy with the new project and he has no time nor effort to deal with us.
"This is the best time for us. Once Christian has a breather, he will definitely come after us. So, we don't have much time to spare. If I don't take the risk now, I am simply giving Christian a chance to breathe.
"After he sails through difficult times, it'll be impossible for us to live in peace in the future. We are well aware of Christian's conduct. By then, it wouldn't just be the company going bankrupt. We might possibly lose our lives.
"Do you understand, Todd? It's not that I have not considered the consequences but it's because I've thought it through so thoroughly. I have to do this."
