Chapter 108 The Arrival of Mrs.

Swan

Wendy was momentarily at a loss for words and quickly tried to recover, saying, “I just feel like those people are showing a lack of respect for our engagement banquet…”

Joe didn’t comment, and soon, someone came up to engage in conversation, cutting their dialogue short.

Wendy’s expression grew more somber. As she lifted her eyes, she noticed someone not far away discreetly greeting her.

Wendy was taken aback, hastily surveying the surroundings. She quickly pulled the person into a storeroom and whispered, “Why are you here?”
