Within one morning, the news that Wendy fell in love with her brother and schemed to separate her brother and his girlfriend, Blake, was like a bomb exploding on the sea, stirring up countless waves.

A few influencers with huge fan bases reposted and commented on it, purposefully misleading the public. Soon, the matter became a hot topic. If someone typed Wendy into the search bar, the first candidate that showed up was: Wendy, scheming (bitch).

Overnight, Wendy became an evil woman full of iniquities. The blogger who had exposed the story of her and Gavin became a model of justice, dragging her into the public eye and letting her be judged by the netizens.

Looking at the increasing reading volume of the topic, Wendy felt a chill down her spine.

She had long known that something like this would happen.

She had also decided long ago that she would calmly accept all the accusations and curses.

However, when those embarrassing words came into her sight and attacked her, she still felt the deepest fear from the bottom of her heart.

When Gavin woke up, he was surprised to find that Wendy had her back to him.

In the past, the little girl would obediently lie in his arms.

Even if she woke up first, she would bury her face in his chest motionlessly. He could often see her graceful side profile as soon as he opened his eyes.

What happened today?

Gavin reached out and held Wendy's shoulders. He felt her shoulders trembling without warning.

He realized that something was wrong. He turned Wendy over to face him and looked at her with confusion and worry. "What's wrong?"

Wendy felt uneasy, and her eyelashes quivered. She subconsciously turned her mobile phone upside down on the bed. She wanted to lie to herself and say that she was fine, but she couldn't help trembling.

She looked at Gavin hesitantly and uneasily and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Gavin vaguely guessed something. He took Wendy's mobile phone and took a look. Sure enough, Rowdy had taken action-the story of him and Wendy had been spread widely on the Internet.

At the moment, the netizens were targeting Wendy.

Wendy grabbed the phone and put it aside. She shook her head and said, "Don't look at it."

She didn't want Gavin to see others frame her with those disgusting and slanderous words, which could only make Gavin feel more guilty.

However, even if Gavin didn't look at it, he knew how Rowdy would manipulate public opinion.

He held Wendy in his arms and wrapped her tightly, as if he had made up his mind to protect her. He said softly, "Don't be afraid. No one can find you if you stay here. I'll take care of the rest."

Wendy, like a frightened child, curled up in Gavin's arms and nodded.

Gavin kissed Wendy's forehead and said, "Don't forget what you said: Let's play to the score and face it together."

Wendy slowly buried her face in Gavin's chest. Listening to his heartbeat, she inexplicably felt a whiff of calming power, and the fluctuation and uneasiness inside her finally calmed down.

She raised her head and happened to meet Gavin's eyes. She also saw the firmness in the depth of his eyes.

She nodded and replied with a "mm" forcefully.

"Good girl." Gavin let go of Wendy and tried to say with ease, "Get up. We have a lot of work ahead of us."

He was right. As soon as they got up, his and Wendy's mobile phones kept ringing. Most of the calls were from strange numbers or media. They knew the purpose of these calls without thinking.

Gavin had no time to reject them one by one. He asked helplessly, "Why don't we turn off the phones? I still have a private number. Your cousin and cousin-in-law can contact me."

"We don't need to bother with that." Having been injured for more than half a month, Wendy was used to using her left hand. She flexibly turned on the airplane mode of her mobile phone and proudly tilted her head. "In this way, other people won't be able to get through to me, and it won't hinder me from playing with my mobile phone. That's great!"

Gavin smiled and learned Wendy's method. His phone, which had been ringing non-stop, finally quieted down.

However, in less than five minutes, his private number received continuous calls from Joanne and Freya.

It was obvious that Joanne had known about the relationship between him and Wendy. She just told him to take good care of Wendy so that Wendy wouldn't overthink.

In contrast, Freya was much more excited. It was rare that she didn't know what to say for a long while. Finally, she asked, "How is Wendy?"

Gavin glanced at Wendy and was about to answer when he saw Wendy motioning for him to give her the phone.

"Cousin-in-law, it's me." Wendy took the phone and said in a light voice, "Don't worry, I'm all right."

"How could you be all right when the matter has gone this far?" It was the first time for Freya to be so restless. "Wendy, you, you and Gavin... you...!!"

Initially, Wendy was a little nervous, but when she knew Freya's reaction, she couldn't help laughing. "Cousin-in-law, you're pregnant. Don't get excited. Let me tell you slowly."

"No need. Joanne and I have already guessed it!" Freya gritted her teeth. "You damn girl, how could you hide it from us for so long?"

"I've always liked Gavin," Wendy said aggrievedly, "I was going to risk everything and force Gavin to confess his love to me, but I suddenly found out that he was my brother. I don't know how to tell you..."

With this, Wendy's voice became low. "Cousin-in-law, there was a period that I envied you and my cousin. The person she likes happens to like her, and you can say loudly that you like my cousin. During that time, I could only live on the dream of being a doctor."

Freya suddenly calmed down and fell into silence.

During those years when she had been chasing after Chris, she had once fallen into sheer despair and felt that there was no hope between her and Chris.

Therefore, she knew the sadness that Wendy was unable to be with the person she loved.

"Wendy, don't worry." It was rare for Freya's voice to be so gentle. "Joanne and I will help you."

"I know I've made a mistake for which I am not qualified to be forgiven," Wendy smiled and added easily, "no matter what happens next, I should bear the consequences. You don't have to worry. I won't do anything stupid with Gavin accompanying me now."

"..." Freya had to sigh with emotion at the magical power of love. At the same time, she was utterly relieved.

Indeed, no matter what happened, as long as the person one loved was by his side, he would have the power to fight against everything.

After hanging up, Wendy refreshed the news.

The major media all followed up to report about the story of her and Gavin, but perhaps because of the pressure from Lambert Group and Everbridge Group, the reports of official media were very conservative and repeatedly stressed in every word that at present, the people involved had not responded to this issue, and everything was still uncertain. They hoped that everyone could stay rational.

But it was also because of the official media's ambiguous attitude that the netizens became angrier.

The blogger who had exposed the relationship between Gavin and Wendy had once again released a piece of news to accuse Wendy of relying on the power behind her.

The blogger also emphasized that Wendy had relied on Lambert Group to push Blake to hell. Now her scandal had been exposed, and she was relying on the power of Lambert Group to put pressure on the media, trying to make the authoritative media keep quiet and help her to clear her name-she was flagrantly throwing weight around. She was simply shameless!

The three words "throw weight around" aroused the public anger of the netizens. They gathered a powerful force to attack Wendy.

Some people doubted Wendy's mental health and thought that she either was a pervert or had some kind of perverted hobby for she actually liked her brother.

Some people said that it was good that Wendy's right hand was disabled. She was a scheming bitch, but she pretended to be a pure woman to trap Blake. With such a dark mind, she would not be a good doctor in the future.

Some people said that the car accident should just be a trick that was out of Wendy's control. It was God's retribution for her right hand being disabled.

After the "red packet incident" was reversed, everyone thought that Wendy was the victim.

However, after the fact that she liked her brother was exposed, Wendy became an even more detestable person than Blake.

Some people sympathized with Blake for she met an opponent who was more scheming than her.

Some people defended her against the injustice and said that Wendy hid her true colors so well. Maybe she was the one who directed the red packet incident to frame Blake.

The netizens were spreading erroneous rumors. In just half a day, Wendy's image was completely turned upside down, and she became an unforgivable sinner through the ages.

In the afternoon, new news broke.

A folk gossip reporter secretly visited the hospital where Wendy used to work and found out a shocking secret from Wendy's colleagues.

The folk gossip reporter revealed that Wendy's colleagues had seen Gavin before and thought that he was Wendy's boyfriend. Later, Wendy was suddenly with a silver-spoon man, and they were too embarrassed to ask more. Until a while ago, Wendy suddenly said that Gavin was her brother, and she did admit that Blake was Gavin's girlfriend in person.

The reporter concluded that the news that the blogger had exposed was true. Gavin and Wendy had always been ambiguous, but for some reason, they ended up being with other people.

Some netizens speculated that Blake and Wendy used the silver-spoon man to cover up their disgusting feelings. But later, Wendy was jealous and didn't hesitate to use the power of Lambert Group to completely destroy Blake. She dumped the silver-spoon man and had an affair with her brother.

This dark speculation was approved by most people, and the netizens scolded Wendy even more. The major official media also followed to report this matter.

In the past day, the reading volume of the topic was close to 100 million, and the phones of the public relations departments of Lambert Group and Everbridge Group rang off the hook.

Gavin and Wendy chose not to respond.

In the end, someone repeated the same trick to announce Wendy's information on the Internet. Learning that Wendy was taken away by Gavin after leaving the hospital, some people speculated that Wendy must be at Gavin's house.

Before someone revealed Gavin's address, Lambert Group announced that anyone who dared to reveal the privacy of its employees would be sued.

After all, the deterrence of Lambert Group could not be slighted. In addition, Brian deliberately protected Gavin's information, so his address was not announced in the end.

However, in other people's eyes, Gavin and Wendy must have been guilty. They concluded that they might have done everything.

The style of the comments suddenly changed, and there was a flood of foul words on the screen. Someone directly asked Wendy if she had a good time having sex with her brother.

Wendy had already been mentally prepared, but when she saw such a naked question, her face turned pale all of a sudden...
