Chapter 555

"Are you jealous?" Wendy's eyes scanned Jack's face teasingly. She realized that the more unhappy Jack was, the more delighted she felt as it showed that this dumbass cared about her.

"Do you think I would care about such things? You have your freedom. After all, Federia is more liberal; these things are unimportant. Let's talk about something else."

"No, I want to talk about this," Wendy said, stubbornly insisting her way.

She blinked her eyes and said, "Hmph! I did it on purpose. I just wanted to make you angry!"

"Angry? You must be imagining things." Jack would never admit it.

"Don't deny it. Your face said it all at that time," Wendy exaggerated her gestures. Then, she suddenly leaned closer to Jack, whispering, "Could it be that you have feelings for me?"

"No," Jack firmly denied.

He tried to push Wendy, who leaned closer to him, but he accidentally brushed against her voluptuous curves in the process.

That softness had sent shockwaves throughout his body. Jack quickly moved away.

Wendy's face turned slightly pink. That tingling sensation made her heartbeat quicken, but she was no longer embarrassed. On the contrary, she boldly leaned closer to Jack as a captivating glint glistened in her eyes.

"If you don't like me, why did you touch me earlier?" she teased.

"That was a misunderstanding," Jack explained.

But Wendy did not intend to let him off the hook. She inched closer and closer to

him. With no one around, she acted more frivolously.

She leaned tightly against Jack, breathing in the alluring scent of the troublemaker. "By the way, I've helped you tremendously. Don't you think you should show some gratitude toward me?"

"Are you referring to the time you draped your arm around Patrick's shoulder?" Jack retorted.

Wendy took advantage of the opportunity and hugged Jack tightly. She leaned her red lips close to his ear and whispered, "You're so dense! Let me explain. I've removed Patrick from the picture. He embezzled company funds and was corrupted. I've already sent him to the police. Consider it my way of avenging you."

"Really?" Jack asked.

"Yes."

Jack never expected Wendy to act so quickly. He initially thought it would be a long battle. He never expected Patrick to surrender so quickly.

"You act fast," he said, sighing.

"He brought it upon himself." Wendy laughed proudly. "He got too full of himself. Over the past year, Drakengard Games has made a fortune through 'Legend of the East.'

"Then, he started spending recklessly. Luxury cars, designer watches, fine wines -you name it. He even kept mistresses and brought them into the company.

"The worst part was that he embezzled company funds, set up a secret business on the side, and quietly siphoned off company assets."

Patrick had always been meticulous, but the moment Wendy agreed to help Jack, she started investigating him. Eventually, he caught wind of it.

Patrick planned everything meticulously, yet never anticipated that Wendy would be the one who betrayed him.

Jack laughed. "Since Patrick is gone, I'll transfer the copyright for 'Legend of the East' to you." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on find⁂novel.net

However, Wendy didn't seem satisfied. "Is that all?"

"What else do you want?" Jack asked curiously.

Wendy tightly hugged Jack and leaned her soft and flexible body on him. Her

long, slender legs draped over him too, and it felt like her whole body was clinging to him.
