The company had already fired the employee from the project department and reinstated Wendy to her position.
The office was now closed for the New Year's holiday, and Wendy would return to work after the break.
When Finch, who had been missing for days, suddenly appeared before her, Wendy didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
He had vanished at her lowest point, not answering her calls or texts. She had been convinced that he had dumped her.
But now, here he was. What did it mean?
Before Wendy could ask, Finch stepped forward, reaching for her hand.
Wendy immediately pulled away. She needed an explanation.
Sensing her emotional shift, Finch pulled a check from his bag and held it out to her.
“Wendy, I’m sorry. You’ve been through so much these last few days. I… I left to get money for you. When you told me your brother owed over ten million in debt, I panicked. I was afraid your parents would hurt you, so I left Clayborne City to find a way to get the money. Look, I got it—ten million!”
He pushed the check a little closer.
Wendy, who had been simmering with anger just moments before, was completely stunned.
Her gaze fell to the check, and she reached out to take it.
It was indeed for ten million.
Looking at Finch—unshaven, exhausted, and worn down—Wendy was first moved, then shocked. The frustration she had felt over his sudden disappearance evaporated into thin air.
She pointed at the check, astonished. “Where… where did you get this much money?”
