Chapter 740: Chapter 740: Just Go Ahead and Say It

Thus, Wendy spotted them immediately without much effort.

Previously, whether it was at the awards banquet for the top ten or at the family mansion.

She only saw Cindy and Adrian interacting with the Zhekova family members.

What she saw was limited to a small scope.

Therefore, she hadn’t genuinely grasped how powerful Cindy has become, or how different she was from her.

Wendy felt that she managed a restaurant and was about to expand it beyond Nork City.

She planned to open a branch in Belfard soon.

Belfard wasn’t just any big city, it was the capital!

She didn’t feel inferior to Cindy at all.

On the contrary, she was more capable than Cindy.

Cindy was just relying on Adrian. Without Adrian, Cindy was nothing.

How could she afford such a high-end lifestyle then?

Unlike her, who could attend such an important party all by her own efforts.

These days, while waiting for the party, Wendy was quite pleased with herself.

She had only been in Belfard for a few days but was already attending such a prestigious party.

This was a party that many could only dream of attending.

But she managed to get in.

Regardless of how she managed it, the result was what mattered.

Before coming here, Wendy had assumed that she would shine at this party and would not be inferior to anyone.

But now she was here, she realized she seemed so insignificant, and nobody noticed her presence.

Not a single person paid her any attention; they all ignored her.

She wanted to find someone to chat with and expand her network.

She had high hopes, but upon standing there, she realized the gap between reality and her expectations.

The guests were all in their small groups, chatting while holding champagne flutes.

She had no opportunity to join their conversations.

She didn’t know anyone, and she didn’t know how to introduce herself.

It wasn’t because she lacked confidence.

Wendy was certainly confident.

The atmosphere at the scene was something she had never experienced before.

While these guests were smiling as they conversed, their unconcerned gaze swept over her casually.

She was sure that except for the Lopez family and those related to Cindy, no one recognized her.

But the guests showed no curiosity about her, their attitude was indifferent.

Because the circle was not large, they knew who belonged to whom; they had a clear understanding.

Even though they didn’t know Cindy.

But Cindy had Adrian by her side, and a small number of people at the party had previously met Cindy, they could naturally help relay who Cindy was.

For someone like Wendy who came alone and had no one accompanying her, they won’t bother to inquire.

A person with a background and connections, why would they stand alone without knowing anyone?

Furthermore, Wendy herself was unaware.

The others’ eyes were keen, however.

They could determine Wendy’s situation at a glance.

Wendy stood there confidently, unaware that her insecurities and anxieties were showing without her realizing.

It was subtle.

But who at the party wasn’t a skillful observer?

Could they not see?

They were extremely good at judging a person’s social status and underlying intentions.

They could see right through Wendy.

Consequently, no one paid her any attention.

Some even held her in contempt.

If they showed contempt, at least Wendy could get angry.

But their indifference and disregard for her, looking at her as though she were air, was a blow to Wendy.

Looking at the Lopez family, who were alone and ignored too, it appeared that they were even more unimportant than she had imagined.

Although dismissed by the others, the Lopez Family could solve problems that appeared difficult to Wendy without a second thought.

Wendy’s gaze returned to Cindy.

Now, seeing Cindy’s ease among the representatives of the Big Eight families.

Witnessing how familiar she was with them.

Looking at the other guests, those who ignored her, regarded Cindy with a mix of anxiety and reverence.

Seeing that the power of the Big Eight families was intimidating, yet Cindy wasn’t affected at all.

At this moment, Wendy had a feeling that Cindy was in a different world from hers.

Cindy was standing with the representatives of the Big Eight families.

They formed a small world of their own.

It was as if an unseen wall surrounded them, observable to all, but no one dared to approach.

No one dared to come near the Lopez Family out of fear of being implicated.

However, no one dared to approach Adrian and the others because of their respect for them.

People around them looked over with awe and admiration.

This was exactly the treatment Wendy dreamt of receiving.

She took a deep breath and walked towards Cindy.

There were many guests, and she squeezed through them.

Close enough to hear someone quietly ask, “Who is she?”

“I don’t know.”

“Who did she come with?”

“I didn’t see, could she have come alone?”

“Can someone come alone to something like this?”

“I don’t know how she got the invitation.”

“Look at her cowering. Obviously, she’s not one of us, I don’t know how she managed to sneak in.”

“She’s somewhat attractive; who knows what means she used.”

Those words left everyone listening with a sly smile on their face.

Then they were surprised to find that Wendy kept moving and was about to arrive where Adrian and his group were.

“What on earth is she trying to do?”

“Can’t tell, she’s quite ambitious.”

Wendy just heard the sarcastic remarks of those people and was very angry.

But now, she couldn’t afford to be angry anymore.

Because the closer she got to Adrian and his group, the more nervous she became.

At this moment, she felt the oppressive atmosphere they exuded.

Despite still being a distance away from them.

She was already finding it slightly hard to breathe.

No wonder no one stood too close to them.

But looking at Cindy, she was standing amid them, having an animated conversation.

“Cindy.” Wendy gritted her teeth and bravely walked over.

Cindy saw her and didn’t seem surprised. She said coldly, “Congratulations, you managed to get an invitation.”

Wendy pulled Cindy over and whispered, “This is your last chance, or else don’t blame me for being rude.”

Cindy pulled away Wendy’s hand, and said nonchalantly, “Say whatever you want.”

Unlike Wendy who had to lower her voice.

Cindy spoke at normal volume without any effort to lower it.

Just because Wendy was headed straight for Cindy, Adrian and the others already had everyone’s attention.

Additionally, Wendy’s actions caught everyone’s attention.
