Chapter 131

Author: Glazed Snow
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

    Stanley couldn't remember the last time he kissed Wendy. All he knew now was that the sensation from the kiss was making his whole body tingle, as if he were being jolted by electricity. At that moment, she boldly penetrated his defenses, soft and teasing, like a kitten's paw swiping around a little before finally pulling him in with a gentle but irresistible tug.Stanley felt a surge of heat race from his spine to his brain. It was as if she had stolen his very soul.He breathed heavily, his weight pressing down on her, his body hovering over hers. When he realized his body seemed to remember her touch, he wanted to curse. He hadn't been with Jessica. Physically, at his age, he needed some passion, but he had always been emotionally distant and never thought much of it. But since he met Wendy, especially that stormy night when they had a taste of each other, it had opened a door he didn't know was there. Now, every time he touched her, that same craving came rushing back, aw

    All five sets were completed.Stanley quickly grabbed the papers and scanned through them. Wendy's neat, delicate handwriting filled the pages, and every answer was correct.How was this possible?Stanley was stunned. She had finished five full exams in an hour, and each one was a perfect score.How did she do it?Stanley looked suspiciously at the sleeping Wendy, then called out, "Zayn."The office door opened, and Zayn walked in. "Mr. Hawk, what can I do for you?""Zayn, I can't believe you pulled something like this right under my nose!"Zayn looked confused. "Mr. Hawk, what did I do?"Stanley slammed the papers down onto the desk. "You secretly let Wendy copy the answers!"Zayn froze. "What? No, Mr. Hawk! I did no such thing!"Stanley wasn't interested in hearing Zayn's explanation. To him, an explanation was just an excuse. There was no way Wendy could have finished five perfect exams in one hour, unless Zayn had given her the answers."You won't get paid this month. D

    But he really did need to get up.Stanley gently pulled his arm away from Wendy and climbed out of bed.He went into the bathroom for a cold shower, then dressed quickly in a black shirt and black trousers. As he walked into his office, he froze.There was already a beautiful figure in his office—Jessica had arrived.Jessica turned to look at him, a sly smile curling on her red lips. "Stanley, did you just get up?"It was already 8:00 AM, and Jessica had never seen him sleep in so late before.Stanley hesitated. He hadn't expected Jessica to be here so early.Just then, Zayn hurried into the office. "Mr. Hawk, I just came from the marketing department. I didn't know Ms. Jessica had already arrived..."Zayn knew that last night, Stanley had slept in the longue with Wendy, who was now probably still in the bed. Now, Jessica was here. This was awkward.Would the two women end up fighting over Stanley? Would they start pulling each other's hair?Zayn didn't even dare to look at

    Stanley reached for the wardrobe door and opened it. Inside, he found Wendy.She was curled up in the corner of the wardrobe, her small frame tucked in tightly. Her long, black hair fell in soft waves. When the door opened, her sleepy, clear eyes, still heavy with sleep, snapped up at him like that of a startled deer.At that moment, she looked so vulnerable, almost like a secret lover hiding from the wife, forcing her to flee from his bed and hide in his wardrobe so that she wouldn't get caught.Stanley furrowed his brow. "What are you doing hiding in here?"Wendy had just woken up; the sound of Jessica's voice outside startled her from her sleep. When she opened her eyes, she realized she was in his lounge, in Stanley's bed. She couldn't remember how she'd ended up there; the last thing she remembered was falling asleep at the desk.With Jessica about to burst in and confront her, Wendy had panicked and crawled into the wardrobe.She looked at Stanley and asked softly, "Has Jes

    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

    Jessica clicked her heels in her crystal-clear stilettos and walked into the study.Wendy was left standing alone, frozen in place."I feel sorry for you because no one loves you."Jessica's words echoed in her ears over and over again.Wendy knew Jessica looked down on her. To Jessica, she was just some quiet onlooker, hiding in the shadows, coveting what Jessica had, her mother and Stanley. And Wendy had nothing— no one loved her.Jessica felt sorry for her.Wendy's chest ached as if a thousand needles were piercing her heart. The pain stretched deep inside her, reaching her core. It was so bitterly ironic. Jessica's mother and Stanley—they had all once been hers!Wendy's gaze lingered on the study door ahead. If Jessica spoke to him, would Stanley really release Paul?Jessica had told her to listen outside, but at this moment, Wendy had lost all her courage.She couldn't bear to hear it.Her heart, once warm, now felt like it was slowly freezing over. She realized she shou

    Ursula quickly spoke up. "Today, my son kidnapped Wendy. Mr. Hawk rushed over to rescue her, and now he's holding my son hostage. Mr. Hawk refuses to let him go, all because of Wendy." What? Jessica's expression shifted immediately. No wonder Stanley had suddenly left Dr. Ceylan's lecture today. He had gone to rescue Wendy. How many times had this happened now? The last time, Wendy had been kidnapped by George, and it was Stanley who had rushed to save her. Now, Stanley had gone so far as to hold Paul? The Hawk and Andrews families had ties—for Stanley to go so far, did Wendy mean that much?Jessica clenched her fists. Frank watched her closely. "Ms. Crone, everyone knows you're Mr. Hawk's favorite. No amount of words from us can compare to just one request from you. If you speak to Mr. Hawk, I'm sure he'll release my son." At this, Jessica, Harry, and Lilian all smiled knowingly. Jessica's lips curled into a playful smile. "So that's all you wanted me to do

    Stanley stood tall by the floor-to-ceiling windows, his long legs and imposing figure casting a shadow in the room. His cold, dark eyes seemed as if they were pools of ink—deep, distant, and dangerous. "Do you think this can be solved with just an apology? You should leave." Ursula's eyes filled with tears, and she begged, her voice trembling, "Stanley, please, I'm begging you! When you were a child, we used to hold you. Paul's our only child, so please let him go. I swear we will discipline him properly from now on." Stanley didn't flinch. His voice was cold as he gave the order. "Zayn, show them out." Zayn immediately gestured toward the door, his voice polite but firm. "Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, please follow me." Frank's face turned red with anger. "Stanley, are you really going to be this heartless? Just because of a girl like Wendy? I've done my research—Wendy's just some country girl with poor grades! Is she worth it? You're willing to tear apart the relationship betwe

    Wendy cried uncontrollably, her voice breaking with emotion. "You're always so angry with me... Why does it matter if I put on makeup or wear lipstick? Jessica does it every day, and you never yell at her... If she had been the one taken, you'd be hugging her, calling her 'babe'... You just hate me, don't you? Why do you hate me so much?" Her sobs were raw and desperate, her delicate shoulders trembling with each breath. Her eyes were swollen and red, her nose pink, like a rose about to bloom, and tears fell in sparkling drops, endlessly streaming down her face. Stanley's expression shifted, his face turning pale. He quickly crouched down beside her, his hand reaching out. "Wendy, please, stop crying." She hardly ever cried in front of him. The only time he'd seen her cry before was in her sleep, when she had sobbed out for her mother to stay. This was the second time, and it was because of him. He couldn't bear to see her in tears. Stanley gently wiped a tear from
