NovelEndChapter 252 A chill ran down Wendy's spine, leaving her frozen in place.
Zach felt her grip on his arm weaken. When he turned to look at her, he caught a flicker of hesitation in her gaze.
His heart sank.
Was that guilt? Could Wendy really have played a part in Serena's departure back then? A dark suspicion took hold of him as he seized Wendy's arm. "You knew Serena was planning to leave back then? Why didn't you tellsooner?" If he had known, he never would have let Serena go. She never would have returned to Javerton City or becentangled with Hugh.
The more Zach dwelled on it, his eyes reddened even more. His grip on Wendy's arm tightened, almost to the point of crushing it.
"Zach, you're hurting me..." Wendy whimpered, her voice soft and pitiful.

Without a word, she stepped into the elevator and left.
Wendy stared intensely at the elevator doors, her eyes burning with anger.
That bitch.
She had already chosen to leave Zach, so why cback now and linger in his thoughts? Zach's furious roar echoed in Wendy's ears. "Wendy, tellexactly what happened back then!" She remained silent-she couldn't speak.
Wendy was so nervous that she felt on the verge of tears.
How could she possibly explain it all-the manipulative messages, the carefully staged photos? They were the very things that had driven Serena away.
If she confessed now, Zach would never forgive her.
Everything she had worked so hard to secure would be lost in an instant.
Caught in a deadlock, Wendy took a deep breath. Then, without warning, she clutched her chest and collapsed.
Zach caught her just in time.
"Wendy!" "I... I can't breathe... Help me..." Wendy leaned into his embrace, clutching his shirt tightly as her breath cin quick, shallow gasps.
In that moment, nothing else mattered-life and death overshadowed everything.
"I'm taking you to the hospital. This is my fault... I knew about your asthma, but I still pushed you too hard..." Without hesitation, Zach scooped her up and rushed toward the hospital.

The moment she stepped out of the elevator, Wendy emerged from the shadows, blocking her way. Her eyes were swollen from crying, giving her an especially pitiful appearance. Serena let out a soft chuckle.
"Crying your eyes out to secure a mollar settlement? Ms.
you know how to make with guaranteed profits." Co "Shut up!" Wendy snapped, clearly avoiding the topic of yesterday's settlement.
She stepped forward, closing the distance between them. "Why did you say all that to Zach yesterday? You sounded so certain-does that mean you still have the messages I sent you back then?" Serena crossed her arms and tilted her head slightly. "I don't make a habit of deleting conversations."
"So, you do have them! Why are you still holding on to those? Haven't you suffered enough because of Zach?" Fuming, Wendy lunged forward, her hands reaching for Serena's collar.
