Chapter 255: Steal His Wife

"Yeah," Wendy answered calmly.

For a long time, there was nothing but silence on the other end of the line.

With a frown, Wendy prompted, "Jeffrey, are you there? What's wrong? Why aren't you saying
anything?"

"Where are you now?"

"I'm on the way to the set."

"You're going there now?"

"Is there a problem?"

After a pause, Jeffrey said, "Well, no..."

Wendy didn't know what was going on with him, but she could tell that he was acting strange.

Rubbing her nose, she said, "Okay.I'll hang up if there's nothing else."

"I'll see you at the set!"

Wendy felt nervous when she heard that.

"You've already finished shooting all your scenes.Why do you still want to come to the set? Wait, do
you want to take revenge on me for breaking up with you? Come on, I only just cleared up my
scandals.I can't afford to make the headlines again."

Jeffrey gritted his teeth and complained, "Do you know how many people wish they could be caught in
a dating rumor with me?"



Wendy snorted.

"Then go and find them!"

Telling himself to calm down, Jeffrey exhaled sharply.

"You're insufferable.Whatever, I'm coming to set now.I'll park my car at the gate.Call me when you get
there.There's something I want to talk to you about."

Then, without giving Wendy a chance to refuse, Jeffrey hung up the phone.

‘If I talk even a second longer with this damned woman, she'll definitely piss me off! 'he thought irritably
to himself.

Lowering the phone from her ear, Wendy stared at it in a daze.

Ryan, who was driving with his eyes on the road, asked flatly, "Was that Bruce?"

"Yes."

"Is there anything urgent?"

"I don't know.Didn't he go to the US for his shooting? Why did he suddenly come back here and say
that he wants to see me?" Wendy complained.

With her eyebrows knitted tightly together, she shook her head and scrolled through the rest of the call
log.She had gotten missed calls from Reese, Carter, and a few unfamiliar numbers.She didn't call any
of them back.

Instead, she begun to take a proper look through her messages.

Most of the messages were from Jeffrey.



Since about seven o'clock last night, he had kept sending her voice messages intermittently.

The sheer number of messages from him made her jaw drop.

‘This guy really waited for me all night? Is he crazy? I'm not a child! What does he think will happen to
me?’ Pursing her lips together, she opened the last voice message, which had been sent at five o'clock
in the morning.

Jeffrey's loud voice came through the speaker, echoing throughout the whole car.

"Wendy, where the hell are you? Your phone is switched off, and you're not at home.Call me back as
soon as you see this.Call me!"

His voice was as arrogant as ever, but Wendy could tell that there was a trace of exhaustion mixed in
it.Her heart softened.

‘Ugh, fine, I won't be mad at him.He always says harsh words.At most, I can beat him up when I met
him!"

Half an hour later, the car came to a steady stop at the set.

Wendy rolled down the window and glanced around, but didn't see Jeffrey's car anywhere.

‘Forget it, I'd better get out of the car first"

After unfastening her seat belt, she put on her hat, sunglasses, and mask.Then, she turned to Ryan
and said, "Thank you.I'll go to the set now.Tonight—"

"I'll pick you up tonight." Astonished, Wendy hurriedly waved her hand.

"No, thanks.I"



"I promised Precious," Ryan said.

Wendy was stunned.

Earlier, she had only heard him promise Precious that he would drop her here in the morning.

No one had said a word about tonight.She narrowed her eyes suspiciously at him.However, Ryan's
face was expressionless, and his eyes were as calm as always.It didn't seem that he was lying.

"Get out of the car."

"Oh, right."

Feeling embarrassed, Wendy put on her backpack and was about to open the door when there was a
knock at the window.

Startled, she turned her head and looked outside.

A man wearing a white sweatshirt, a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, was standing outside the window.

The green hair poking out of the hat was particularly eye-catching.It was Jeffrey! Wendy quickly rolled
down the window.

"Jeffrey—"

"Shh."

Jeffrey lifted a finger to his lips, gesturing for her to be quiet.

Taking a glance at the passersby, he lowered his voice and said, "Open the door, quick!"

There was a click.With the press of a button, Ryan unlocked all the doors.



Jeffrey quickly opened the door and climbed into the back seat.

"Phew, that was close!"

With an exaggerated sigh of relief, Jeffrey pulled off his hat, revealing his messy green hair.

Then, he took off his sunglasses and mask.

"I was almost discovered by my fans just now! It's lucky that I'm smart."

All of a sudden, the temperature in the car seemed to drop.

As soon as Jeffrey raised his head, he met Ryan's cold eyes.He froze and greeted awkwardly, "Hello,
Uncle Ryan..."

"Hello," Ryan replied flatly.

"Uncle Ryan, you drove Wendy here today?" Jeffrey asked tentatively.

"Yes. It was on my way," Ryan said calmly.

Wendy jerked around to look at him in confusion.

"Why is he lying?’ The set was in the suburbs, while his company was in the center of the city.

As for the hospital, it was right in the middle of these two places.

Therefore, to drop Wendy at the set, Ryan had to drive in the opposite direction, and then turn back to
go to his company.It was not on his way at all.

"Uncle Ryan..."



At the sight of Ryan, Jeffrey's aura weakened automatically.Scratching his head awkwardly, he said, "I
want to have a word with Wendy."

"Go ahead."

Feeling embarrassed, Jeffrey let out a cough.

"Well...! I mean, I want to have a word with her alone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ryan's eyes fix on him like a hawk's.The cold glint in them
made him shiver, and even the hair on the back of his neck stood on end.

"Uncle Ryan..." he stammered.

"You want me to get out of the car?"

"No, no," Jeffrey denied hurriedly.

"My car is parked in front.I wanted to say hello to you first before asking Wendy to come with me.I have
something to talk to her about."

Ryan's eyes narrowed ever so slightly, but it was enough to make Jeffrey gulp in fear.

‘Oh my, God! He looks so scary! Why is he staring at me like I'm trying to steal his wife? Wait...Steal his
wife?’ Something seemed to click in Jeffrey's head.

He silently looked at Ryan, and then at Wendy.

Ryan was staring at Wendy, but she was avoiding his eyes.

The expression on Jeffrey's face changed slightly.He knew that his uncle liked Wendy, but he also
knew that she was not in the mood to enter into a new relationship.



That was why he had gone to the US without hesitation in the first place.

But now...he couldn't help but notice the strange chemistry between Ryan and Wendy.

Jeffrey's mouth twitched.

‘Could it be...? Did something happen between Uncle Ryan and Wendy while I was in the US?’ The
thought made him panic.

However, he forced himself to calm down and cleared his throat.

"Well, Uncle Ryan, I'll visit you another day.I'll get out of the car with Wendy now!"

"Wait!"
