Chapter 665 The Weak Overcoming the Strong
Maggie didn't ask much about Jenny's case and wasn't clear about the sentencing situation.
Fiorello also wouldn't discuss these matters in front of Maggie to avoid troubling her.
Police Station.
Dulce drove straight here after leaving Sunset Hills.
She didn't believe Francis wouldn't come back.
Dulce waited in the office without informing Francis in advance.
Kieran smiled and said, "Miss Quixote, Francis is really busy. How about I call him and ask him to come back?"
"No need, I'll just wait here," Dulce replied with a smile. "You go ahead with your work, don't mind me. I'm familiar with the police station."
She had come here many times with Francis and had even helped solve cases before. There wasn't a place in the station she wasn't familiar with.
"Alright, then sit and wait for a while. If you need anything, just let me know." Kieran was the only one in the station who knew about Dulce and Francis's relationship.
He had to make sure to treat Dulce well.
Just as Kieran was about to leave, the office door was pushed open from the outside. It wasn't Francis who came in, but Wendy.
When Kieran saw Wendy, he immediately thought, "Oh no."
Everyone in the station knew about Wendy's feelings for Francis, but Dulce was Francis's girlfriend. What would happen if these two met?
Kieran smiled and said, "Mrs. Gray, you're here too. Francis isn't in right now."
Wendy said expressionlessly, "Kieran, you should call me by my name from now on. Edward has been gone for so many years, and hearing that title reminds me of his death and makes me sad."
"Look at me, talking nonsense. I'll call you Wendy from now on," Kieran said. "Francis isn't here. Wendy, if you have any business, I can pass the message to him later."
Wendy glanced at Dulce sitting on the office sofa and said to Kieran, "No need, I'll wait here."
That sounded so familiar.
With two women here, the atmosphere was so awkward that Kieran didn't dare stay.
Kieran smiled and made an excuse, "I have something to do, so I'll get busy."
Kieran quickly left and called Francis, "Francis, come quickly. Wendy and Miss Quixote are both waiting for you in your office."
In the office.
Only Dulce and Wendy were left. Both were women, and they understood each other's thoughts.
This was an invisible battlefield.
Wendy sat opposite Dulce and politely nodded in greeting, "Miss Quixote, long time no see. You're getting more and more beautiful. If I were half as beautiful and capable of making money as you, that would be great."
Wendy's eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
Compared to Dulce, Wendy was just a housewife, not as glamorous, young, or beautiful as Dulce.
In terms of earning ability, she was also no match for Dulce.
"What are you here to see Francis for?" Dulce couldn't hold back and asked directly.
"Francis got promoted, and he's been very busy, often not eating on time. He has stomach problems, so I came to bring him some medicine," Wendy said softly, but every word was a provocation. "Last Wednesday, he drank too much with my dad and even threw up."
Dulce quickly remembered that last Wednesday was the day she called Francis, and he didn't answer or return her messages.
So, that day Francis was drinking with Wendy's father-in-law.
Wendy smiled gently and innocently, looking somewhat pitiful, "Miss Quixote, I'm a woman who lost her husband. After losing my husband, it's been so hard to support a family. Can you understand how difficult it is? If it weren't for Francis's help all these years, I don't know how my kids, Edward's parents, and I would have made it through. I know you like Francis, but we all depend on him. Can you pity me and not take him away from me?"
