Daddy! Come Home for Dinner! Chapter 653 – Chapter 653: Chapter 653: Not Planning to Give You a Single Cent

Chapter 653: Chapter 653: Not Planning to Give You a Single Cent

Adrian Zhekova spoke in a pitiful and wronged tone, “How can you go back on your word? I’m heartbroken.”

Cindy Clarke: “…”

Adrian Zhekova acted like a big, pitiful Alaskan dog shedding tears in front of her.

Thinking about her words just now, Cindy also felt that she was a bit of a jerk.

So, under Adrian’s pitiful gaze, Cindy whispered, “Hus…husband…”

This excited Adrian, who forcefully covered Cindy’s lips and said, “Call me that more.”

On Wendy Clarke’s end, she returned to the hotel where Christy Xenos and Joshua Clarke were staying. She didn’t even have time to go back to her own room to pack before rushing to Christy and Joshua’s room.

Christy opened the door for her, and as soon as Wendy entered, Christy hurriedly asked, “Wendy, how did it go? What happened tonight? What was Cindy’s reaction? Is she scared and panicking now?”

As soon as this topic came up, Wendy’s face turned cold.

Whether Cindy was scared or panicking, she didn’t know.

But now she was panicking, offending Cindy and being disdained by Edward Lopez.

Wendy had thought about Edward all the way and knew that she couldn’t count on him.

After so much effort, everything had come to naught.

Meanwhile, Cindy had gained an ally in Adrian Zhekova. Even Edward was terrified of Adrian, showing that Adrian’s threats were not just empty words.

Wendy couldn’t help but worry. If Cindy said something to Adrian Zhekova, would he take revenge on her on Cindy’s behalf?

Would he target their family, target her, and target the restaurant she had worked so hard to build?

Now Wendy could only hope that Adrian didn’t think highly of Cindy’s background, and that his feelings for her were just ordinary, not enough to cause trouble for Wendy.

As for Adrian Zhekova retaliating against Edward Lopez for Cindy,

Wendy thought, either Adrian loved Cindy very much.

Or it was because the matter concerned Adrian’s pride as a man, and had nothing to do with Cindy.

No matter whether his wife was Cindy or someone else, if someone else encountered such a situation, Edward Lopez would have hurt his face, and Adrian would naturally be unhappy.

Retaliating against Edward Lopez wasn’t for Cindy, but rather for himself and for the face of the Zhekova Family.

If this was what Wendy thought, then Adrian might not seek revenge on her for Cindy’s sake.

But Wendy kept thinking optimistically, always analyzing in a way that was beneficial to her.

She forgot that if Adrian’s feelings for Cindy were really that ordinary, how could he marry her?

After all, if it were just an ordinary marriage, why not marry someone with matching social status? That would cause less trouble and not require guessing from others.

“Wendy, just speak up! What exactly happened?” Christy urged.

Wendy snapped back to her senses, took a deep breath, and said, “Dad, Mom, I told you, you’ve been deceived.”

“Last time you came, Cindy told you how poor her life in Belfard was, and she even asked our family for 500,000.” Wendy said coldly.

“But in reality, where would she look down on 500,000 now? Even if you gave her 5 million or 50 million, she wouldn’t even glance at it.” Wendy said sarcastically, “Cindy, now she is on the top of the world!”

“What do you mean?” Even Joshua Clarke’s attention was drawn.

Wendy’s whole body trembled with jealousy.

If she could marry into the Zhekova Family, marry Adrian Zhekova, even if she was bound by the Zhekova Family and had many things she couldn’t do, even if she had to sever ties with her family, so what?

She would be more than happy to trade places!

Wendy, full of jealousy, said, “Dad, Mom, do you know? Cindy, she married into the Zhekova Family.”

“The Zhekova Family? Which Zhekova Family?” Christy didn’t think of The Big Eight families.

“The one from The Big Eight families, the Zhekova family.” Wendy said, “And, her husband is Adrian Zhekova! The heir of the Zhekova family! The current CEO of Pingla Group and the future Family Head of the Zhekova clan!”

“Before, during the live broadcast of the competition, Zoe Silverstone and Iris Doone both said that Cindy had gotten through the Pingla Competition thanks to her connections and back doors.”

“But no one believed it then, and everyone thought that Zoe Silverstone and Iris Doone were framing Cindy. They thought it was because their abilities were not good enough, so they tried to drag Cindy down.”

“Who could have imagined that Cindy is Adrian Zhekova’s wife? The Pingla Competition is organized by the Pingla Group. As the boss’s wife, participating in her own company’s competition, who else would take first place if not her?”

“The judges claim that they are fair and will not score unfairly because of someone’s special status. But facing their boss’s wife, do they need a score? Who can be more special than their own boss’s wife?”

“When did this happen? When did she marry Adrian Zhekova?” Joshua Clarke immediately asked.

“I also asked about it.” Wendy said.

“Last time you came, didn’t Cindy complain about being poor to you? To avoid misunderstandings, I specifically asked her when she married Adrian Zhekova. You know what Cindy said? She said quite early.”

“What does ‘quite early’ mean? At least earlier than the last time you came. And even if we assume that the last time you came, she hadn’t married Adrian Zhekova yet, they must have been in a relationship, right?”

“A person like Adrian Zhekova couldn’t possibly have a flash marriage. The family behind him wouldn’t allow a flash marriage either. How could they trust a woman to marry into their family without going through a period of getting to know each other?”

“Adrian Zhekova’s wife will be the future mistress of the Zhekova family. When Adrian marries, will the Zhekova family elders not investigate Cindy? It must have been only after getting to know Cindy that they agreed.”

“Which means, at least at that time, they were in a relationship. Dating Adrian Zhekova, and Cindy claims she’s poor?” Wendy sneered.

“Unless she pretended to be a rich girl and spent all her money pretending to be rich. But how could she deceive Adrian Zhekova? How could Adrian not know about their relationship? So, this possibility doesn’t exist.”

“The fact is, Cindy has never been short of money. All the words she said last time were lies to you. Even that house might have been temporarily found by Cindy.”

Wendy sneered, “After all, as Mrs. Zhekova, getting a house like that is a piece of cake, right?”

“Many things that we can’t do, that we find difficult, are simple in their eyes!”

“But she has so much money and still cheated you out of it. She didn’t plan to give you even a penny.”
