Wendy's absence only seemed to highlight Trish's success.Trish signed autographs for the group of students, then cheerfully walked over to Wendy. "Wendy, I heard you were kidnapped by Paul. Why do you always get yourself into trouble? You're making our Crone family look bad!" No one from the Crone family seemed to care about her, only blaming her. Wendy wasn't the least bit upset—she was used to it by now. She gave a playful wink, her voice light as she replied, "I don't mind making the Crone family look bad, as long as you're there to make up for it."The comment struck a chord with Trish. She immediately smiled, her lips curling into a proud grin. "You heard about my academic paper, right? It was selected by the Medical Museum, and tomorrow, it's going to be officially displayed in their showcase. Our whole family is celebrating. Tomorrow, Grandma and my parents are coming to the Medical Museum to witness my moment of glory."Even Edith was getting involved—after all, Tri

Stanley knew Wendy was fast, but he never imagined she could be this fast.He'd never come across a real challenge in a game until now—Wendy was the one to give him a run for his money.It was completely unexpected for him.Benny, sensing something was off, panicked. "What the hell, Stanley? Wendy can actually keep up with you. Stay focused! If I lose this round, I'll drop from champion to bronze!"As soon as he finished speaking, Zayn walked into the room. "Mr. Hawk, there's a call from the family estate…"The family estate? What had happened?Stanley's attention wavered.And in that second—game over.His fingers froze mid-air. He lost.While Stanley was distracted, Wendy took advantage, bringing her axe down hard and knocking him flat.He lost…to Wendy!Stanley had only wanted to teach her a small lesson, to make her cry…but this? Benny's voice suddenly erupted in disbelief. "What?! Stanley, you lost? Oh my god! I've dropped to bronze! Noooo…!"It had taken Benny three

Wendy had no idea what she was saying.Stanley looked at the ice cream in her hand, then back to her delicate, angelic face. His voice came out rough as he asked in return, "Some of what?"Wendy's mind was in a complete blur. She didn't understand what he meant by that. Her heart raced—thump, thump, thump. The tension in the air between them was palpable, almost like it could be cut with a knife.Wendy decided to put an end to the whole thing. "Mr. Hawk, I'm going to bed now. I'll hang up."She quickly ended the video call.Halsey, preparing to shower, noticed Wendy's flushed cheeks. "Wendy, why is your face so red?"Wendy touched her face absentmindedly. "Maybe it's just the heat. Hurry up and go take your shower, Halsey.""Okay," Halsey replied, heading off to the bathroom.Left alone, Wendy sat down, looking down at the ice cream in her hands. Slowly, her thoughts began to clear. Why had she panicked earlier? This morning, she had asked him on the phone if he wanted her

Trish smiled confidently. "Grandma, this is just the beginning. I'll go even farther in the future."Edith grinned widely, proud as could be. She knew her granddaughter was something special and would surely bring glory to the Crone family.Archer and Natalie were just as pleased. The more accomplished their daughter became, the better her chances of marrying into a prestigious family.Just then, Edith noticed Wendy standing behind them. Her expression darkened. "Wendy, who allowed you to come here?"Wendy had shown up, but the family was so caught up in their happiness that they hadn't even noticed her.Trish glanced at Wendy briefly. "Grandma, I invited Wendy. She wanted to ride on my coattails. It's fine. Let her stay here."Edith didn't want Wendy there at all. Both Trish and Jessica had brought honor to the Crone family, but Wendy only brought embarrassment. In Edith's mind, Wendy had never truly been part of the family.Since Trish had spoken up, Edith's voice became sharp

The young men quickly began teasing, their voices rising in a playful chorus. "What kind of friend is this? Boyfriend or girlfriend?" "Nathan, are you secretly dating someone?" "So, what's going on? Planning to reveal your girlfriend today, huh? Which lucky lady managed to catch your eye?" Nathan smirked and muttered, "Keep it down, or you'll scare her off." Hearing that, the crowd went wild. Stanley sat on the couch, his posture relaxed. Jessica sat beside him, smiling knowingly. "Stanley, do you think the person Nathan is waiting for is Wendy?" Benny chimed in, "It has to be her. Nathan's totally smitten with her!" Sienna shot them a jealous look. In their social circle, it was hard for regular people to break in. But here Nathan was, inviting Wendy, someone from outside their usual group, to his birthday. That alone spoke volumes about how much he cared for her. Stanley, dressed in a sharp black shirt and trousers, remained calm, his expression as impassive
