Nevada, USA
“What are you doing in daddy study by this late night?” Noah asked rubbing his eyes. Wendy jerked in fright but quickly regained her composure.
“I.. I'm looking for anything related to my birth and Emma disappearance” she lied pulling him out of the study after putting off the light. “And maybe you could help me too. Tell me about Emma” she coaxed leading him back to his room.
He shook his head. “I don't want to say anything about my sister Emma” he said and slammed his door before she could say anything.
“Foolish bastard, let me finish with you and this your dumb family first. This wealth you boast of will be mine and anytime i lay my eyes on that promiscuous Emma, i won't let her see another day” she swore under her breath and headed to bed.
The next day, she woke up before anyone in the family and began to do household chores. By the time the family woke up, she had prepared breakfast and was smiling at the table.
“Good morning mom, dad and baby Noah.” She greeted cheerfully ushering them to the table.
“Wendy love what is all these? Please you're the young miss of the house. You can't be doing servants job.! Allen scolded leading her to a chair.
“No mom, I've been used to hard labor all my life. Servants doing jobs for me is still very odd so it'll take a while for me to adjust to this new life of wealth” she said pitifully tears welling up in her eyes.
The whole table grew sober except Noah who just sat looking at her suspiciously. Wendy noticed this stare and her fist clenched. She quickly smiled and went to the kitchen, bringing a cup of milk with her.
“Brother Noah, i woke up very early to buy this fresh milk for you from a good convinence store i usually buy things from when I was in the orphanage. The old lady is very kind, please drink up quickly” she talked about the orphanage deliberately so the Walker family will feel bad if Noah refuses.
Noah just looked up at her briefly from his food and continued. “Thanks but I don't want it” he replied coldly. Wendy grew panicked but she didn't show it.
Allen face grew cold “ Noah pick up that milk and drink all of it at this instant.! Out of the good will of your sister’s heart, she warmed up milk for you and you dare refuse it? You are so ungrateful” she shouted at him.
Reluctantly, he took the milk and slowly began to drink it. Wendy's eyes shined happily and a smug smile formed at the corner of her lips.
“Wendy, i have had you admitted at the elite high school Noah is attending. You can resume today” Benjamin said. Wendy jumped up happily from her seat and ran to hug Benjamin tightly. “Thank you daddy so much. Mum thank you too you both have given me a new life” she said emotionally and ran to her room to dress.
“Noah wait for your sister” Allen called out as she saw him walking to the waiting car. Running out happily, she hopped into the car and they drove off.
As the car pulled up at the parking spot of the huge school, several students clustered around it taking pictures and marvelling at the beauty of the beast. On seeing this, Wendy swelled in pride and rolled down the window.
“Don't dent the car it's so expensive and I don't think you'll ever be able to afford it” Wendy mocked pushing a girl who was taking pictures away from the car.
Ashamed, the girl backed off and Wendy haughtily came down. Immediately, all the girls around began to fawn over her expensive dress, makeup and jewelries, making her puff in vain pride. Noah just looked on disgusted as they headed to the bursar's office.
Suddenly, a pink Ferrari pulled up. All the girls around Wendy dispersed and went to cluster around the Ferrari. Three girls came down from the car and murmurs immediately erupted.
“Jenny, favy and marie are so beautiful and rich”
“Just look at their posh Ferrari and their designers clothes”
“Between them and the new heiress of the Walker family who do you think is more rich?”
“JFM of course.! I heard their fathers are all top managers of various shayan group branches in USA”
On hearing this, Wendy stopped on her tracks and turned back to the girls who were chatting happily and heading to the classroom not minding the murmurs around them.
“What are you doing?” Noah asked seeing her going back. “I'm coming….” She said walking quickly to the JFM.
“Hello.. i can tell this your jewelry you're putting on is fake” Wendy said stepping in front of the girls. Everyone fell silent immediately. “Are you crazy wendy? Why are you looking for trouble when there's none?” Noah shouted at her.
But Wendy didn't reply and just snatched the necklace around Jenny's neck away cutting it.
“What? This girl is clearly looking for trouble.. how can Jenny put on fake jewelry?”
“Jenny is very unusually calm today by not taking action till now. But certainly this girl doesn't know her boundary.”
Seeing Jenny not still speaking up, Marie stepped in and snatched Wendy's necklace too cutting it. “Who are you to cut off our Jenny's necklace?” Marie asked furiously almost pouncing on Wendy.
But Wendy didn't flitch and just laughed like Marie was a joke. “Stop pretending to be rich when you clearly aren't and can't even afford proper jewelry. Well, I don't really blame you, its this students who can't differentiate between original and fake are the ones i blame.” she mocked.
“Miss whatever you are. Do you know how much that jewelry cost? Well since you claim to know the difference between fake and original, just pay for the damages you caused and not escalate this further. You look like a new student here that's why I'm being so merciful with you.” Jenny said but Wendy didn't reply and just began to walk away.
“Someone grab her she's getting away.!” Favy shouted on seeing Wendy still remained unresponsive. Fed up, Noah offered to pay them off knowing Wendy just want to cause trouble.
“The young master of the Walker family is so kind and handsome”
“Don't crush on him, he just entered high school. He's still a kid”
“But where have this other girl been? She's so rude..” the students murmured amongst themselves.
“I heard the former miss of the Walker family eloped with a man” someone suddenly said and Noah stopped immediately on his tracks.
