Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife

Chapter 191 Henson's Playing Devil's Advocate

Wendy’s gaze turned cold in an instant. "It's not like I can change my appearance. I got it from my

mom, so how dare you disregard all of my hard work by saying that I got here just by using my look?

Also, you keep saying you 'work hard', but does 'working hard' in your case mean browsing Amazon

and playing games on your phone?

"Tell me, how many times have I helped you publish notices for your students? When have I turned you

down even when I'm at my busiest? When have I turned you down whenever you encounter any

problematic students and whenever you ask me to help you run your errands?

"I'll have you know I'm fully qualified for this job. I got this job based on my capabilities, so what makes

you think that I don't have the right to stay here on campus just because YOU say I shouldn't? You

have the least right to say that to me, so if anyone should be fired, it should be you." she shouted.

She didn't like picking fights with others, but she couldn't possibly just stand there and let herself be

slandered like that.

She really tried her best in everything and gave her all even when no one was watching, which was

why this wasn't a valid reason for others to humiliate her.

When Carmen saw that the two of them was ready to throw fists at each other, she stepped in and

hurriedly said, "Cael, Wendy! Stop it right now! Can't you two just sit it out and have a proper

discussion? Actually-"

"Shut up!" Cael shouted as he turned around to face her. "Who died and made you our peacemaker,

Carmen? Tell me, who was the one who first badmouthed Wendy when she first stepped into our

office?"

"You've gone mad, Cael. How could you-"Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

But before she could finish, he'd already swung open the door and left.

It was now Carmen's turn to feel embarrassed.

"When you first came into our office, I secretly brought up your name a lot since you were one of the

most famous figures on campus then, so naturally there would be a lot to talk about. And you know

how much I love to gossip, which was why I dared to circulate rumours and badmouth you in front of

Cael and Linda. I sincerely apologise for that though, since... we weren't that close yet back then. Plus,

I also want to apologise for slandering you behind your back," she said guiltily after turning to face

Wendy.

Upon witnessing her combust in shame in front of her, Linda butted in with a lighthearted giggle. "I

didn't expect you to be flamed so badly just by stepping in, Carmen. You must be really down on your

luck today," she remarked.

After noticing that Wendy wasn't pissed off by her remark, Carmen piped up, "Duh. I was just scared

that it'd escalate into a full-blown fight, which was why I stepped in in the first place. I would've just

stood by if I've known it beforehand," she said, frustrated.

"By the way, I swear to God, Miss Evans, ever since we had lunch together that one time, I haven't

badmouthed you at all, not even once. You can ask Linda if you don't believe me," she huffed.

Linda nodded in reply. "I'll reluctantly be your witness then. It's true that she really hasn't done that at all

recently," she replied.

Carmen then lounged forward to grab hold of both of Wendy's hands.
