"Wendy, what are you trying to hide from us? In Jack's presence, you said that you two are acquaintances. Now, why would you say that? Was he threatening you?" She asked with narrowed eyes.
Wendy got flustered at the moment. She wasn't sure about how to reply to this. After thinking for a moment and looking at the two friends of hers that she considered as sisters, she decided that she would simply say the truth.
"Actually, it's like this. During the engagement, Jack wasn't present in Crystal city. So, the engagement was completed without him knowing. And Jack wasn't told about the engagement by his father. It's like they were hiding it from him."
