Chapter 127

Author: Glazed Snow
In Justin's office, Paul swaggered in, flanked by his parents. As soon as he saw Wendy and Halsey, freshly cleaned up, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of attraction.

Wendy's face, soft and pale, looked as if it had been carved from glass. She had a purity about her that was hard to ignore. He was still very much interested in making Wendy his girlfriend.

Sienna had only told him to make trouble for Wendy, not to make her his girlfriend. Paul couldn't understand why, with everything he had—his charm, his wealth—Wendy wouldn't be interested. He had no problem with her humble beginnings; what gave her the right to reject him?

When he parked his fancy car under the girls' dorm, he was used to seeing women fawning over him. He didn't understand Wendy's resistance.

With a sly grin, Paul sneered, "Wendy, are you scared? You've only been at Clavendale University for two days, and now you're about to be kicked out. Maybe we can still work something out if you apologize to me now."

    Earlier, in the girls' dorm, Wendy had tried to explain herself to Stanley. However, he had launched into a tirade before she could even get a word in. He didn't even listen to her, and by the time he was finished, her eyes had lost their light.Stanley felt a twinge of guilt at the thought.But the feeling quickly faded, replaced by a scoffing laugh. In the end, Wendy had brought this upon herself. She had barely stepped foot into Clavendale University, and already that playboy had set his sights on her.Stanley had seen the way Paul looked at her. As a man, he could tell—it was more than just interest. Paul was genuinely taken with her. If Wendy had just apologized and played it cute, Paul would have likely forgiven her on the spot. There would have been no need for Stanley to step in.The thought made Stanley's mood darken further. This little fox... she had a way of attracting men wherever she went. He didn't send her here to date. He sent her here so she could study.If

    Next, Sienna logged into her second backup account, "The Dancer", and pretended to tag her first backup account, "Helen's Rival". She typed, [Yes, exactly! If someone like Wendy, the God of Sleep who sleeps through her classes, becomes the campus belle, it would be a joke. Sienna is still the best!]She then switched back to her main account, "Sienna Hawk", and posted, [Everyone, let's not fight. I think Wendy's pretty great. I'll gladly pass on the title of campus belle to her!]Sienna was juggling three different accounts and playing three different roles to stabilize the situation. She couldn't afford to lose her position as the prettiest girl in Clavendale University.Sure enough, after this little maneuver, Sienna's loyal followers—mostly nerdy boys—started commenting in droves.One commented, [Wendy is beautiful, but the title of campus belle should go to Sienna. She's the most outstanding of them all!]Another chimed in, [Sienna is my goddess. No one can take her place in

    "Of course! Didn't you see that Professor Lincoln himself came out to greet her?" Everyone looked at Trish with a mix of admiration and envy. Trish had arrived with Cyril, holding her head high, her chin tilted in a way that made her resemble a proud peacock. The confidence and pride radiating from her made her seem almost untouchable, and her presence was dazzling. As Trish and Cyril stopped, Trish's gaze first landed on Wendy. She looked her over with obvious disdain before shifting her focus to Stanley. "Mr. Hawk, Wendy dropped out of school at 16. I've even heard she sleeps through Professor Lincoln's classes. What exactly makes her deserving of a spot at Clavendale University?" Sienna saw her opportunity and eagerly nodded in agreement. "Exactly!" Stanley's face, always so composed and dignified, betrayed no sign of emotion. He glanced at Wendy before answering, "She will focus on her studies here." Sienna opened her mouth to speak again. She'd heard that Wendy only

    Cyril froze, wondering who Wendy was calling "Cyril".Who was this Cyril?Wait, he was Cyril—but she shouldn't call him that!Cyril was about to say something, but Wendy quickly scanned the room before turning and walking away.Halsey laughed quietly, then glanced at Cyril before hurrying after Wendy. "Wendy, wait up for me."Trish and Sienna were both shocked. "Professor Lincoln, did Wendy just call you by your first name? Has she completely lost her mind?!"Trish and Sienna were stunned.Cyril was dumbfounded as well. This was the second time this had happened. He had no idea why Wendy called him by his first name so casually.Did she even know about respect or boundaries? Only his mentor, Dr. Ceylan, had the right to call him by his first name. And she actually said she trusted him to handle things—as if he needed her reassurance!Stanley watched as Wendy disappeared around the corner, his brow furrowed slightly. She truly was fearless, even addressing his uncle by his fi

    Glinda quickly understood. "Alright, alright. Now I can relax." Wendy was over the moon. She hooked her arm through Glinda's and said, "Grandma, you're rarely out, so let me take you out and have some fun." Glinda's face lit up with a smile. "That sounds wonderful! I love going out and having fun." -Wendy and Halsey took Glinda out to the main street, where they passed a milkshake shop. Halsey grinned. "Wendy, let's grab a milkshake. They've got a new Taro flavor, and it's delicious!" Wendy nodded eagerly. "Sure." Glinda looked curiously at them. "You two are getting milkshakes?" Wendy knew that in some families, elders typically didn't allow younger people to drink things like milkshakes. She quickly explained, "Grandma, actually, having a milkshake every once in a while isn't bad for your health…" "Could you get me one too? I'd like to try it," Glinda suddenly said. Wendy froze in surprise. Glinda leaned over the milkshake counter, her eyes sparkling with

    Glinda looked up at the large "Happy Foot Massage" sign and took a sip of her milkshake, curiosity piqued. "Wendy, what is this place?" Wendy raised an eyebrow playfully and grinned. "They often say relaxation is just a massage away. Grandma, Halsey, I'm treating you to a foot massage!" The three of them strutted inside with confidence, and the shop's manager immediately greeted them warmly. Wendy said with a smile, "We'd like three male therapists, and make sure you send over your tallest and most handsome ones!" The manager responded eagerly, "Of course, ladies. Right this way, please." -Back at the restaurant, Stanley and Jessica were dining in the romantic ambiance of candlelight and piano music when Stanley's phone suddenly vibrated. It was a call from the Hawk family's estate. Stanley answered, and the frantic voice of the butler, Freddy, came through. "Hello, Mr. Hawk, something's wrong!" Stanley's face hardened. "What happened?" "Mrs. Glinda is missing

    Glinda took another sip of her milkshake, a satisfied smile spreading across her face. "It's amazing." She then glanced at the handsome young therapist in front of her. "How old are you?" The therapist smiled. "I'm 18." Glinda raised an eyebrow. "No wonder men, even when they're 80, still like 18-year-olds. Turns out, even at 80, I like them too." Laughter echoed through the room. Wendy and Halsey chuckled, and the atmosphere was filled with the sound of three women enjoying themselves. Zayn, who had intended to go in and warn Wendy, paused. Hearing their conversation, he quickly turned and exited the room. Well, everyone had their way of living life—he supposed Wendy would have to deal with it on her own. Stanley stood in the doorway, his forehead tight with veins pulsing in irritation. An hour ago, he never would have imagined finding his grandmother holding a milkshake and getting a foot massage! A dark storm of anger surged through him, his eyes narrowing

    Stanley didn't say Wendy could leave, but she really didn't want to stay. She tried to pull her wrist away from his firm grip.But Stanley's long, slender fingers tightened around her wrist, pulling her along with him."Stanley, what are you doing? Let go of me! Where are you taking me?" His strides were long, forcing Wendy to stumble as she tried to keep up with him.He dragged her out of the foot massage parlor and shoved her into his Rolls Royce Phantom. Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of Hawk Group's office building, and he pulled her inside.The employees in the tech department were working late that night. They were just about to grab a cup of coffee when they saw their intimidating CEO walking in with a stunningly beautiful Wendy. The employees' exhaustion instantly vanished, replaced by wide-eyed surprise. "Mr. Hawk?" Stanley didn't even spare them a glance as he dragged Wendy into his office. The staff immediately erupted into whispers. "Is that Mr

    Over the years, Stanley had been surrounded by the temptation of women, and he had met some skilled ones. He knew what Wendy was doing—she was trying to tease him. She wanted to see if she could hook him in, if he would take the bait.A thin, knowing smile tugged at the corner of Stanley's lips. That little temptress.Just then, his phone rang, cutting through the tension. The screen flashed with the caller ID, "Jessica".The display of her name immediately cooled Stanley down. The heat that Wendy had stirred up in him slowly faded. Stanley answered the call.Jessica's soft voice came through. "Stanley, are you still upset? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have argued with you or thrown things. Honestly, I was just jealous. I got jealous that you were so kind to Wendy. Please don't be angry anymore. I love you. I really, really love you!"Over the years, Jessica had been spoiled by him, but now, she was humbling herself, apologizing and coaxing him gently, telling him over and over how

    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

    Stanley's voice was low and tense. "The herbal recipe you left for Grandma has gone missing."So that was what this was about.Wendy immediately grabbed a pen. "Just wait a second. I'll write it down for you."She bent her head and began to scribble the recipe on a piece of paper.As she did, her white camisole shifted slightly, revealing the soft curve of her figure, the fullness of her chest. Stanley's throat tightened. He already knew she was beautiful in more ways than one, but this—her slender waist, the way her curves gently flared out—was enough to stir the deepest parts of a man. It was all part of her allure. It was natural. "Wendy!" Stanley's voice was thick with barely contained tension.Wendy looked up, confused. "What's wrong?"She seemed so innocent, with those bright, clear eyes, so pure and unaware.The way she looked at him, oblivious to the effect she had on him, only stoked the fire within. Stanley swallowed hard and spoke again, his voice strained, "W

    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

    The familiar announcement rang out.Benny shot up from the couch, his eyes wide in disbelief. "Damn it!"He swung his Zen staff and lunged forward, but before he could take a step, Wendy spun in the air, landing lightly and bringing her axe down on him. It was over in an instant—he was down. He was dead! He actually died!Benny couldn't believe it. The sudden turn of events caught Stanley's attention, and he looked over at Benny with a raised eyebrow.Benny, not one to admit defeat, huffed, [Wendy, let's go again!]Wendy agreed, and the second round began.Just two seconds later, Stanley heard Benny's voice erupt again, more furious than ever. "Damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it!""Game over." Benny had lost again.Still unwilling to accept it, Benny growled, [Wendy, another round!]Wendy replied, [Mr. Gondale, you should think about this carefully. If you lose the third round, your rank will drop.]Benny had always been at the top rank as the champion, but after facing o

    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

    Wendy pulled out her phone and found Stanley's number, but she hesitated for a long time before dialing.He had truly surprised her. Wasn't Jessica supposed to be his favorite? How could he bring himself to turn her down? Last night, Wendy had left without a word and never thanked him in person. She wondered whether he had seen the note she had left on the nightstand."Wendy, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and call Mr. Hawk! He stood up for you this time!" Halsey urged.Wendy pressed the dial button.The phone rang once, then was answered with a calm and unhurried voice.Stanley picked up the phone, but didn't say anything.The silence on the other end stretched on.Wendy's slender fingers tightened around the phone. She didn't know what to say.After a moment, his deep, magnetic voice broke the silence. "If you're not going to speak, then I'll hang up."Typical of him—domineering and direct."Wait!" Wendy quickly spoke up. "Paul's parents came to the school looki

    In the girls' dormitory…"Ouch... It hurts... Halsey, please be gentle..."Wendy had returned to the dorm after leaving Saville Villa, and Halsey was carefully applying an ice pack to her face.Hearing Wendy cry in pain, Halsey cursed under her breath. "Paul is an animal! How could he do this to you? Where is he now? Wait a minute, Wendy—why did you come back alone?"When Halsey opened the door to the dorm, she was shocked to see Wendy walking in with a swollen red handprint across her face. Wendy's arms and legs were also marked with bruises and red imprints—clear signs of abuse.It was late, and Wendy had returned alone, her body covered in injuries. Halsey's heart ached for her.Where was Paul now?Earlier, Jessica had gone to see Stanley, so Paul was probably released by now.Wendy trembled slightly and, without a word, wrapped her arms around Halsey's warm body. "Halsey, my face hurts. I don't want to talk right now.""Okay, okay," Halsey replied quickly, "I'll stop askin

    Stanley couldn't focus on the documents anymore. He stood up and walked toward the master bedroom.The room was empty—no sign of Wendy.Seeing the bathroom door was closed, Stanley stood at the threshold, his voice low as he called out, "Wendy, are you almost done?"There was no response.No sound came from inside.Stanley raised his hand, about to knock, but before he could, the bathroom door opened on its own.He paused, then walked in. The large bathtub was empty. Wendy was nowhere to be found.Where did she go?Stanley stepped out, and just then, a maid entered the room. "Mr. Hawk, Mrs. Hawk has already left."She left? Just like that?Stanley glanced at the untouched ice pack. "She didn't use it?""No, Mrs. Hawk said she didn't need it."On the nightstand, there was a note. Stanley extended his long fingers and picked it up. The note was simple.[Thank you.]She left without telling him and just left that little note behind for him.Stanley stood with his hands on h
