Chapter 1149
Hearing that, Judy finally felt at ease staying there.
She was sketching designs in her room when the door suddenly swung open.
Judy turned and saw Wendy standing with her arms crossed, glancing around the room.
“Unbelievable. You couldn’t make it back home, so you came overseas to leech off my brother instead?”
Judy frowned. “Get out. This is my room.”
She had no patience for Wendy.
Wendy gave a cold laugh. “Open your eyes. Whose room is this really? This is my brother’s house. You’re only a guest here. Try to remember your place.”
Her tone was sharp, and toward someone like Judy, she showed no courtesy at all.
Judy sighed. She couldn’t exactly deny Wendy’s words. After all, it was Kenneth’s home, and she was only staying temporarily.
But Wendy showing up so suddenly was something Judy hadn’t expected.
Kenneth had told her no one would be around at this time. So why was Wendy here?
“I may be a guest, but I’ve been upfront with your brother about it.”
Judy stood up. “So, barging into my room like this–don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”
Wendy folded her arms tighter. “What a joke. I don’t owe you anything. This is my family’s house. I came to see my brother. Do I need permission from some outsider like you?”
Judy set down her sketch. “Fair enough. But I am your brother’s guest, and you just barged in unannounced. Do you really think that’s appropriate? Is this how your family was raised?”
Her voice was sharp, with no hint of politeness.
“I’m warning you, don’t push it.” Wendy sneered. “There’s nothing wrong with me coming to see my own brother. Watch your tone. And for the record, I came mainly to find out what woman has been distracting
him all this time.”
Kenneth hadn’t been coming home lately, always staying away.
Business back home had already stabilized, yet he still didn’t return to the estate.
And regarding his partnership with Lucas, he hadn’t given the family any explanation.
The family had been pressuring Wendy to find her brother and ask what was really going on.

She knew he owned a villa, but when she came to check, she hadn’t expected to find Judy there. The sight truly caught her off guard.
Hearing Wendy’s words, Judy found it laughable.
When had she become, in this woman’s mouth, some greedy, shameless parasite?
The truth was, she and Kenneth were in a mutually beneficial arrangement–partners, each taking what they needed.
They were adults, and that much should be clear.
“I’ll say it again. Your brother and I are just business partners.”
Judy sat back down on the sofa. “We’re all adults here, and you should understand what that means. There’s no need for me to spell it out. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your brother directly instead of questioning me here.”
Wendy was only at the villa because she couldn’t reach Kenneth.
She never expected to find this woman instead.
Still, she would never admit that the only reason she came was because she couldn’t get hold of her
brother any other way.
