Chapter 44 Wendy and Skylar " Well , you've got some nerve . I'll be waiting ! " Nancy said , clapping her hands with a sharp smile . Wendy scoffed and hurried away . After that incident , Wendy realized cosmetics alone weren't enough . Once she got home , she deliberately found a way to trigger an allergic reaction on her face . Wendy stared at her reflection to see that her skin was covered in red spots . She felt miserable , but the thought of the large sum of money she was about to receive quickly erased her but the thought of the large sum discomfort . She even made plans to hit the bar with her friends that night . That evening , Nancy was deeply focused on researching projects for the upcoming bidding conference when her phone suddenly rang . It was Hillary . " Damn it , Nancy , get over here ! I just spotted that little bitch ! " " Who ? " " Wendy ! " Hillary's voice was filled with anger , as if she were ready to fight at any moment . Nancy's eyelid twitched . " Hillary , calm down . I'm on my way . " She feared that if she didn't show up , Hillary would really end up in a fight with Wendy . About 15 minutes later , Nancy walked into Twilight Bar , the most popular and luxurious bar in the city , only to realize she was already too late . On the ground floor , a crowd had gathered , watching the drama unfold . Pushing her way through , Nancy saw someone pulling Hillary and Wendy apart . Both women looked disheveled , their hair in wild tangles , as if they'd just been in a brawl . " Hillary ! Are you okay ? " Nancy hurried over . Hillary shook her head . " I'm fine . I just couldn't stand that bitch , so we fought . " Wendy was furious . " There's a problem with Duran Skincare , and I'm not even allowed to speak the truth ? " Hillary shot back angrily , " Do you really think I don't see what you're trying to do ? Pfft ! " Noticing people around them starting to take photos , Nancy quickly pulled Hillary aside . Suddenly , a gasp rippled through the crowd . " It's Mr. Gibson ! " Everyone instinctively turned to look . Skylar wore a red shirt with a subtle gradient pattern , paired with black trousers . He radiated a magnetic , roguish charm , carrying a distinctly noble and aristocratic air . All the women were drawn to him . The moment Wendy spotted him , her eyes immediately lit up . " Sky ! " Chapter 44 Wendy and Skylar 2/2 Hillary nearly choked at the sound of that nickname , utterly disgusted . But she was surprised that the two actually knew each other . Skylar really had no taste . Wendy hurried over to him , her face painted with a look of distress . Then , she said in a sweet and soft voice , " Sky , thank goodness you're here . I didn't know what I would do without you . " What's going on ? " Skylar's voice was enticing , but his eyes betrayed no emotion as they casually flicked toward Hillary . Hillary's face tightened with irritation . She cursed inwardly , for she hadn't expected Skylar to show up . Whispers rippled through the crowd . " It seems like Hillary's in trouble . I can't believe Wendy actually knows Mr. Gibson . " " Yeah , Hillary was way too impulsive . " A bystander quickly pulled out their phone , eager to capture the moment and make a firsthand report . Skylar glanced back at them , a half - smile playing on his lips . " I don't like being online . If word gets out about today , I'll be a very busy man . " The person holding a phone broke into a cold sweat and quickly slipped their device away . But there was something unusual . Skylar often appeared in the news . Otherwise , how else would he have built his reputation as a notorious playboy ? Nancy , meanwhile , breathed a sigh of relief . If news of tonight's incident spread online , even if they could prove Wendy was slandering Duran Skincare , Hillary's act of hitting someone wouldn't reflect well on her . Wendy , however , was convinced that Skylar was on her side . Her smile widened , and her eyes sparkled with triumph . " Sky , Hillary hit me ! " she complained , leaning toward Skylar, her voice full of indignation .
