Chapter 58: The Lowest Of Scumbags
Embarrassment was written all over Brian's face.
"What? Really?"
Wendy's eyes widened exaggeratedly.
"You really think so? Oh my! Brian, I think it's time that you deal with your hypochondriasis! Honestly, whenever I thought about the fact that I was in love with you, I get the urge to poke my own eyes out! I really didn't know what I saw in you back then," she admitted.
"Wendy! Stop it!"
"Why?" She tilted her head.
"Are you embarrassed? I'm not done yet.Where was I? Oh right! In the last few years, whenever I thought of you, I couldn't help thinking that I was really blind! The saying "love is blind" has never been more true.But you know what? I bet every girl has met a scum or two when they were young and ignorant.I had terrible luck and just happened to have met you, the lowest of all scumbags!"she screamed.
Brian was furious! He had lived for more than 20 years, and he had never been humiliated like this! In an attempt to calm himself down, he took a deep breath and said, "Wendy, we haven't seen each other for three years.When did you become so sharp-tongued?"
As she leaned against the wall behind her, she covered her mouth and yawned.
"A lot can change in just a few years.Anyway, don‘t beat around the bush! I don't have time to waste with you!"
While they were talking, numerous people were entering and exiting the Studio City.
Since Eris was a known TV star, several people glanced at her and did a double-take.
Seeing this, Brian quickly handed Eris' bag to her and gently kissed her hair, "Eris, go to the film set first."
"Brian..."
"It's fine.I'll handle it."
Eris was still worried! Now that Wendy had changed into a different person, Eris couldn't figure out what this woman was.
thinking anymore.
Even though she said that she didn't care about Brian anymore, Eris couldn't help but be suspicious.
After all, how could one tell that Wendy was telling the truth anyway? Brian was a wonderful man, and Wendy, the little bitch, had become so beautiful and had so many tricks hidden up her sleeves.
Eris believed she had to stay alert just in case Wendy tried something.
"Brian, I'm just worried about you..."
"Silly girl, what do you have to be worried about, hmm?"
Gently, Brian ran his hand through her hair and continued, "Hurry up.If people recognized you, it'd be hard to leave this area.I'll just clear up things with her and then go meet you, okay?"
A relieved exhale escaped her mouth.
Nodding, Eris said, "Alright.I'll go first then.You...Just don't hurt her, okay?"
"I got this.Don't worry."
Wendy watched the couple act lovey-dovey with each other.
Now, she really couldn't deny how perfect they were for each other.
One was a despicable waste of a human being, while the other was an evil witch who pretended to be kind and loving. A scumbag together with a two-faced bitch! Brian watched Eris walk away.
Then, once she was out of the premises, he turned to Wendy with a disgusted glare.
Rolling her eyes, she spat out, "Don't give me that look.Since we've already established that we can’t stand each other, we have nothing else to talk about."
Then, Wendy turned on her heel and started to leave.
In fact, she already knew what Brian was going to say to her.
"Wait a minute.We have to talk!"
Before she could object, Brian already grabbed Wendy's wrist and got into his car.
She decided not to complain, figuring that if she didn't talk to him now, then he would find a way to harass her again in the future.
Without hiding her annoyance, she got into the car with him.
They sat in the back seat.As soon as they got in the vehicle, she shook off his hand.
For the first few minutes, awkward silence echoed inside the car.
Neither knew what to say to each other.
However, Wendy was getting sleepy.
After a yawn, she hissed, "Say whatever you want now! Quickly!"
"Wendy, about three years ago...What Eris and I did to you was indeed wrong.She was young at that time, and she was impulsive.Your anger towards what happened is valid, but she has been punished enough.You stabbed her and almost killed her.Shouldn't you have forgiven each other by now?"
‘Forgive? Ha! You wish! "You dragged me here just to say that, or is there something else you want to say?"
Wendy asked coldly.Sighing, he continued, "Well, since we've cleared up the animosity between you and Eris, I want to apologize for what I did to you.I admit that Eris and I were together while I was still dating you.I know I should've broken up with you instead of letting things escalate.It's all my fault.I shouldn't have kicked you either.I'm sorry for all the physical injuries that I caused!"
‘Sorry? As if forgiving him would be so easy! He's delusional! One of my children died and the other got seriously injured even before he was born all because of this man! Does he think that a measly apology was enough?’ Wendy gritted her teeth and clenched her fist before giving him a sharp glare.
Suddenly, Brian handed her a check.
Her face darkened as she stared at the piece of paper in his hand.
She squinted at him and asked, "What the hell is that?"
"This is five million! This is enough to get you a small place and live there for the rest of your life.It's my compensation for what I did, Wendy,"he answered casually.
"Compensation?"Wendy repeated but didn't take the check.She was shocked at his audacity.
"What? I know that you need money right now..."
"Yes, I do lack cash!"
Quickly, he pushed the check into her hand. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
"Wendy, I hope you can leave this city after you take this money.Start a new life at a place where nobody knows you.Ever since you came back, Eris has been a mess.In the past few years that you weren't here, we have lived in peace! We don't want you to disturb our life ever again!"
With an offended scoff, she grabbed the check and tore it into tiny pieces right in front of him.Then, she threw it at his face like confetti.
"What do you think you're doing?" Brian asked with furrowed brows.
"Yes, I don't have a lot of money right now, but no matter how short I am of cash, I will never take your money.I feel sick just by looking at anything that belongs to you!"
Wendy felt as if the air inside the car was disgusting.
So, she suddenly opened the door and strode out of the vehicle.
"Brian, money can't solve all your problems.I won't forget what you and Eris have done to me!"
"So, you really came back for revenge!"
With a smirk, she answered, "Yes, I did. I will make you pay for all the pain that you have caused me!"
Without waiting for his reply, Wendy slammed the door on him.
Brian quickly pressed a button to roll down the window and called out, "Wendy! If you dare lay a finger on Eris, I will make sure you regret it! We were together for three years and you know what I'm capable of! Don't forget who you're going up against.You're just a powerless woman.Killing you will be as easy as squashing a bug! Don't test me!"
Since Wendy appeared in front of Eris again, she had mentally prepared herself to handle anything.
With a smirk, she turned to glance at him and give him the finger.
The hatred and arrogance on her face were unmistakable.Brian seethed with anger.
"You will regret this, Wendy!"
"Are you threatening me now?" she asked, raising a brow.
"Yes!" he screamed.
A mocking chuckle came out of Wendy's throat.
Brian clenched his jaw.
It seemed that Wendy really had changed, not only in appearance but also in personality.
Three years ago, she was like an open book.
Anyone could instantly read what she was thinking.
Before, Brian could guess what was on her mind with just one look.
Now, however, she was unpredictable and acting off the wall.
Brian didn't like this feeling.
"Wendy, we've known each other for a long time. Don't force me to hurt you!"
"Bring it on, then!" she challenged.
