Chapter 514 The Entry Ticket
The former president of Saint Corp was none other than Wendy’s late husband, Leo.
Leo had died of a sudden heart attack over twenty years ago.

It was then that Wendy stepped in to take over his empire, continuing his work in charity, medicine, and educational institutions.

Because Saint Corp already had a powerful presence overseas, Wendy quickly gained access to top–tier international resources. Its hospitals were equipped with the most advanced medical technology in the world, and its educational institutions included Eastborough University.
For years, Eastborough University had sent countless graduates to work at Saint Corp’s hospitals abroad, where salaries and benefits were outstanding.
Wendy had an endless stream of talent under her control.
Since Leo’s death, Saint Corp and the Foster family had had no further connection.
“Looks like Henry was telling the truth.”
Henry had said that everything was orchestrated by his aunt Wendy.
Now, every clue pointed directly to her.
It was proof that Wendy was the one behind the drug research and the control of Claire University’s medical school.
Over the years, she had likely funneled donations to the school under the Foster family’s name, dumping all the blame on them.
“Now that we know, we know who our real enemy is.”
Nolan looked at Eliza, a trace of worry flickering in his eyes. “Promise me you won’t take risks. Wendy has Saint Corp overseas, and in the past twenty years, who knows how many other businesses she’s acquired. She’s bound to have ties to criminal networks. I’m afraid you’ll get hurt.”
“With you by my side, how could I be in danger?”
In Westbrook, when it came to the underworld, who could rival Nolan?
“I’m just afraid something might happen when I can’t see you.”
“Then keep me where you can see me, so nothing will happen.”

“Alright.”
Nolan agreed without hesitation.
As long as Eliza was safe, nothing else mattered.
Meanwhile…
Wendy had met with Naomi, Naomi had deliberately chosen a time when Nathaniel was not at home to go out, pulling a cap low over her face to make sure no one recognized her.

When she arrived at the agreed–upon location, Wendy glanced at her disfigured face and said with orient disdain, “You’ve already been ruined by Eliza. What right does a loser have to meet me? Looks like Pin. wasting my time today.”
To Wendy, Naomi was nothing–someone who couldn’t even handle a young girl like Eliza, a pathetic
failure.
But Naomi’s next words changed her attitude entirely.
“The ring Henry has is a fake–just one I had custom–made. There’s no secret inside it.”
At that, Wendy froze mid–motion.
“What? Fake?” she demanded, frowning. “What do you mean?”
“It was just made to scam money. No one knows where the real ring is.”
Naomi had already learned from Christian that Wendy was the one running the criminal empire behind the scenes. She continued, “That means Henry has no leverage over you anymore. Ms. Wendy, you don’t have to worry about your secrets being exposed. Are you satisfied with the news I’ve brought you?”
These past few days, since the ring had been recovered, Wendy had assumed her brother and Henry were holding her leash, leaving her too cautious to act. Now, hearing from Naomi that neither of them had her real weakness, her expression shifted with interest.
“You came all this way to tell me this. What do you want?”
“I have eighty million. I want to invest in your company. When there’s profit, we share it. When there’s risk, we share that too. And I can also tell you–there’s a man named Christian who’s fled overseas, probably trying to make a place for himself there. He extorted three million from me.”
Naomi knew that if she wanted to become Wendy’s partner, she needed more than money–she needed an offering.
Wendy seemed pleased. “Eighty million isn’t a huge investment to me. But since you’ve shown initiative and brought me this secret, I suppose I can give you an entry ticket. As long as you follow me and obey my orders, I guarantee you’ll make that eighty million back in no time.”
