Let $G$ be an $(n,m)$-graph. We say that $G$ has property $(\ast)$ if for every pair of its adjacent vertices $x$ and $y$, there exists a vertex $z$, such that $z$ is not adjacent to either $x$ or $y$. If the graph $G$ has property $(\ast)$, then its complement $\overline G$ is connected, has diameter 2, and its Wiener index is equal to $\binom{n}{2}+m$, i.e., the Wiener index is insensitive of any other structural details of the graph $G$. We characterize numerous classes of graphs possessing property $(\ast)$, among which are trees, regular, and unicyclic graphs.
