Chapter 212

Author: Glazed Snow
Just then, the sound of a soft ringtone broke the silence—Wendy's phone was ringing. It was Nathan calling.

"Wendy, I'm being discharged today. If you don't come, I'll have to go home alone," he said, his voice light but with a hint of playfulness.

Wendy smacked her forehead, realizing she had forgotten Nathan's discharge day. She quickly grabbed her things and rushed to the hospital.

-

Stanley had arrived at the hospital and made his way to the VIP ward, where he found Jessica.

She was lying on the bed, dressed in an oversized hospital gown. Her face was as pale as paper, and she was still unconscious.

Stanley stood by her bed, concern in his eyes. "What happened to Jessica?"

"Mr. Hawk, last night you left Jessica alone, and she was so upset she collapsed. She was rushed into the operating room for emergency surgery," Harry explained, his voice tight with worry. "The surgery went well, but she's been in a coma ever since."

Lilian and Harry were both visibly shaken, their faces

    Stanley said that he and Wendy were done.Jessica was overjoyed, throwing herself into Stanley's arms and clinging to him tightly. "Stanley, I know Wendy's great at seducing men. I don't blame you for developing feelings for her, but I know you'll always choose me. The one you really love is still me!"Yes, Stanley had developed some feelings for Wendy, but the one he loved most, the one who truly had his heart, was Jessica—his girl from the cave.Stanley reached out and embraced Jessica in return.Harry looked on with a proud smile, relieved to see Jessica so happy. If she was happy, then as her father, he was happy too.Lilian, too, seemed content, but her eyes flashed with bitterness as her thoughts turned to Wendy. She had never imagined that a country girl like Wendy could make Stanley even a little bit interested in her. That little troublemaker!-Wendy arrived at the hospital, and Nathan had already packed his things, ready to leave."Nathan, I'm sorry. I had someth

    Wendy could only ask her best friend for advice.Ding!Cecelia's reply came through. [That means your friend didn't keep her husband satisfied in bed. He got tired of her after just one time.]What? Was that really what happened?Wendy thought about it. To build a long-lasting relationship, the couple had to be congruent in every area, and sexual compatibility was especially important. She knew that men like Stanley had high standards when it came to physical intimacy. He needed a woman who could keep him pleased in the bedroom.Had she failed to keep him satisfied last night? Had Stanley gotten bored of her after just one time?Ding!Another message from Cecelia popped up. [Wendy, don't tell me this friend is actually you! Have you and Stanley slept together?]Wendy didn't know how to respond, so she decided to brush it off for now. She denied it, saying, [It's not me.]Putting her phone down, Wendy fell into an unsettled sleep.She woke up the next morning and went throug

    Stanley froze for a moment. Wendy fainted from taking what? A morning-after pill? He wanted to ask more, but before he could, he heard a few beeps, indicating Halsey had hung up the phone.Jessica, who had overheard the conversation, looked at Stanley in shock. "Stanley, Wendy fainted after taking a morning-after pill?"Stanley didn't answer. He immediately pushed Jessica away from him. "I'm going to Clavendale University," he said quickly, his voice tight with urgency.He rushed out the door.Jessica turned to Lilian, her confusion evident. "Mom, what's going on? Nothing happened between Stanley and Wendy. Why would she take a morning-after pill?"Lilian didn't know what to think either, but her face grew serious. "I'll find out what happened."-Stanley arrived at Clavendale University as quickly as possible, heading straight to the school's medical office. "You're finally here! Please, look at Wendy!" Halsey pulled Stanley over to the bed.Stanley lowered his ga

    Wendy's pale eyes instantly reddened. She had always known that Stanley knew exactly how to humiliate a person.If he wanted to shame someone, he would do it in the most cruel, humiliating way possible.She hadn't asked Halsey to call him.Even if she had, so what?He was the one who hadn't used any protection!"I understand," Wendy said, her voice thick with emotion. "Don't worry, Mr. Hawk. I won't call you again. You can leave now."She forced herself to lift her gaze, trying to stop the tears from spilling. She didn't want to cry in front of him.Stanley noticed the redness around her eyes, and an unexpected sense of satisfaction surged through him. It felt almost like revenge, like a deep, bitter kind of justice. He knew he hated her. He hated that she didn't show up that night.He had deliberately called Zayn, knowing that he would go looking for her.But she never came.He hated even more that she had called him when she passed out.She got allergic to morning-after

    Wendy lay on her side, her back turned to him, while Stanley sat on the edge of the bed. They looked like a married couple in the middle of a bitter argument.Stanley clenched his fists, then, after a long pause, he finally spat out a single word. "Sure."He stood up and walked out.He left.Tears that Wendy had been holding back slipped down her face uncontrollably. She grabbed the blanket and pulled it over her tear-streaked face. It wasn't a big deal. It was just a bad night. If he didn't have feelings for her, she would just pretend it had been a bad dream.Still, her heart ached. It hurt so much.Wendy knew deep down, she was still in love with Stanley.So deeply in love.-Since that day, Wendy and Stanley hadn't spoken again. The focus of the media during this time, however, was all on Luna.Luna had suddenly joined one of the most talked-about variety shows, and her popularity skyrocketed due to her pure and sweet image. She became known for her innocent persona and

    Luna immediately stopped in her tracks. "Wendy, Halsey, what a coincidence! You're both here, too."Wendy and Halsey took a step closer to Luna, but her bodyguards in black blocked their way."Stop right there!" one of the bodyguards ordered.Luna waved her hand dismissively, smiling. "It's fine. They're my classmates."The bodyguards stepped aside, and Wendy and Halsey finally made their way to Luna."Luna, I can't believe you've become a star!" Halsey exclaimed, looking at her in surprise.Luna raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, I got myself a boyfriend. He's the one who helped me become a big star.""A boyfriend? Luna, you're dating someone? I've never heard about this boyfriend before," Halsey replied, clearly surprised.Luna flashed a sweet smile. "My boyfriend is handsome and rich, and he spoils me. He loves me a lot."With that, Luna took a step forward and grabbed Wendy's hand. "Wendy, things are going so well for me now. You must be happy for me, right? You must wish me and my

    Cecelia had been taken to the police station?Wendy's face turned pale as she hung up the phone. She turned to Halsey. "Halsey, I need to go to the police station!""I'll go with you," Halsey replied, already following her.-At the police station, Wendy and Halsey found Cecelia locked in a holding cell. Wendy grasped Cecelia's cold hands. "Cecelia, what happened? Why are you here?"Cecelia's face was pale, and she looked utterly confused. "Wendy, this is all connected to that celebrity, Luna Fisher."Cecelia explained what had happened. "Luna went to Ella Magazine for a photoshoot. They needed her to do a stunt with a wire, but someone had cut the wire in advance. Luna fell, and she pointed at me, saying she saw me cut the wire. The police arrested me right away. Please, Wendy, you have to believe me! I didn't do it! I didn't cut the wire. I have no reason to harm her!" Cecelia's voice was frantic. Luna had falsely accused her, making it look like she had tried to kill her.

    Wendy had already tested the water's temperature. It was lukewarm, not hot at all.Her sharp, clear eyes locked onto Luna's face. "You intentionally framed Cecelia. It wasn't about her at all, was it? It's me you've got an issue with."Luna shrugged nonchalantly, a sly smile spreading across her lips. "Yeah, it is."Halsey was fuming. "Luna, have you lost your mind? Wendy has always considered you a friend. Don't you remember who rushed to save you when Mr. Silva took you away from Gold Vista Hotel? Now that you're a big star, you've forgotten all about that and turned your back on everyone? You're just repaying kindness with malice! What happened to your conscience?"Luna didn't show the slightest bit of guilt. Instead, she coldly chuckled. "Finally, you're saying what's really on your mind. You're just jealous of me. You're jealous because I found a rich boyfriend. You're jealous because I became a big star!"Jealous?Halsey was speechless. "If you're so proud, why don't you ju

    Stanley stared at the information in his hands, his eyes lingering on the empty space under the "Sponsor" section."Who sponsored Wendy?" Zayn shook his head. "We haven't been able to identify the sponsor yet." Stanley pursed his lips, a hint of frustration in his gaze. "What did Wendy do after she graduated at 16?" For someone like her, a rising star, graduation should've marked the beginning of her career, just like his own path. Back when he was at Harfield, Stanley had already dipped his toes into the financial and business world. By the time he graduated, he had already launched his first company on the Copper Valley stock exchange. But Wendy? She seemed to have no job, no clear path. That was something Stanley found puzzling. "I'm sorry, Mr. Hawk. We couldn't find any details. After Ms. Wendy graduated at 16, she disappeared for 2 whole years." Those two years of her life were a complete mystery. No one knew what she had been doing. "Until two years lat

    Stanley hadn't expected Lucas to show up. As a man himself, he could already sense Lucas's growing interest in Wendy. Lucas was very into Wendy. Wendy glanced at Stanley, then turned to Lucas. "We'll go with you, Lucas." She chose Lucas without any hesitation. Stanley's sharp features tightened in an instant. Lucas was thrilled. With a gentleman's smile, he opened the car door. "Ladies." Wendy and Halsey climbed into the car. Halsey threw a glance at Stanley, her expression a mix of sympathy and a little bit of schadenfreude. That was what he deserved for treating Wendy poorly—now, Wendy wanted nothing to do with him. Stanley stepped forward, but just as he did, his arm was suddenly caught. It was Jessica. She clung to his arm, forcing a sweet smile. "Stanley, were you waiting for me?" Stanley looked up at Wendy. The luxury car Lucas had been driving was already pulling out of the garage, heading off with Wendy. Wendy had left. Stanley tore his ga

    The staff immediately stepped in. "Ladies, please leave immediately." "Wendy, you can't treat us like this…!" With a swift motion of the hand, a group of security guards appeared and escorted Edith, Jessica, Trish, Lilian, and Natalie out of the venue without hesitation. As they were forced out, Edith almost stumbled, but Jessica and Trish caught her on either side. "Grandma, are you alright?" Edith quickly shook off their support and shot them a cold glare. "Did you see that? Wendy is the prodigy!" Edith had always considered Jessica and Trish the Crone family's shining jewels. She had never spoken harshly to them, but now, her frustration poured out. "Look at the effort I've put into you two! You had private tutors, every path paved with money, and yet you only managed to make it into Ivy League schools and the top schools in the state. And Wendy? She was sent to the countryside as a child, and now she's a genius who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Hawk! Wh

    A strange feeling stirred in Stanley's chest. He wanted to say something, but before he could, his palm was suddenly empty—Wendy had already withdrawn her hand. She was quickly surrounded by a group of young elites, all bright minds of their generation. Among them was a man named Lucas Norris, a fellow Harfield graduate who had now made a name for himself as a rising star in the tech industry, the young CEO of a publicly traded company. Lucas looked at Wendy's breathtakingly beautiful face and smiled. "Wendy, I'm curious—what's your relationship status?" Stanley's gaze remained fixed on Wendy as he watched her raise a delicate brow. Then, she answered in just three simple words. "Single and available." Single and available. Those words made Lucas' eyes light up. Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone. "Wendy, since we're alumni, why don't we add each other as friends on Facebook?" Wendy nodded. "Sure, Lucas." And just like that, they exchanged contacts.

    Being a "God of Sleep" was a lie.The lack of education was a lie, too.It turned out Wendy was a prodigy!It turned out the mysterious genius freshman was Wendy!"I never expected this genius freshman to be so beautiful! She looks like an angel! Truly, she's both talented and stunning.""Oh, I think my heart just skipped a beat!"Jessica's hands clenched into fists by her side, her grip tight. She couldn't accept this reality. The Wendy she had always looked down on—this same Wendy—was the genius freshman who had made her so jealous it drove her crazy.Lilian was also in disbelief. She couldn't understand how Wendy ended up on the podium. Hadn't she sent Wendy away to the countryside?At that moment, someone behind them impatiently urged, "Can you two sit down? You're blocking our view of the genius freshman.""If you don't sit down, we'll have to call security and have you escorted out!"Lilian, embarrassed, quickly sat down. She tugged at Jessica's sleeve. "Jessica, sit do

    The Summit Academic Forum officially began, and the room erupted into a wave of applause.The host smiled and said, "The most anticipated event of today's Summit Academic Forum is the debut of Mr. Hawk and the genius freshman. I'm sure everyone is eager to see this talented young woman take the stage!"All eyes quickly turned to Stanley and the empty seat beside him. Someone in the crowd could hardly contain their excitement and called out, "We can't wait any longer! Let's see the prodigy!"The host laughed. "Alright, let's welcome her to give the opening speech for our Summit Academic Forum!"The genius freshman was about to make her entrance!The previously noisy hall fell silent in an instant, everyone holding their breath in anticipation.Sienna and the students around her were visibly excited. "She's coming, she's coming! It's finally happening!"Edith, Trish, and Lilian had been searching for Wendy the entire time after they entered, but they couldn't find her.They decid

    "Not only that, but it seems the high-level managers of this Summit Academic Forum were the ones who welcomed Wendy just now," Edith said in surprise.Lilian, equally shocked, exchanged glances with her. Sienna then spoke up, her tone dismissive, "Wendy dropped out of school at sixteen. She's always up to something shady. We shouldn't let her intimidate us.""Exactly!" Jessica chimed in, agreeing. "Wendy must be pulling some sort of trick. We should call her out. Grandma, Mom, let's go inside and see what she's really up to!"Edith let out a cold snort. "Good thing I foresaw this and cut ties with her in advance. Whatever mess she causes inside won't be our problem."-Stanley entered the main hall, scanning the area. He looked around, but couldn't spot Wendy anywhere.He had rushed in earlier, trying to follow her, but he had still lost her. Where could she have gone?He turned to one of the staff members nearby. "Who uses the VIP entrance?"The staff member responded respec

    Benny froze for a moment. "Wendy, how do you know my dream girl doesn't like red roses?" Edith quickly cut in, "Don't listen to Wendy's nonsense. I think she's just jealous of the genius girl who's catching your attention, and she's trying to cause trouble." Benny, his patience wearing thin, threatened, "Wendy, you'd better not ruin this for me. I'm going to officially pursue my dream girl!" Wendy found it all rather amusing. With a smirk, she replied, "Well, good luck, Benny." Benny snorted in response. Jessica wasn't about to let the focus stay on the genius girl for too long. She continued to mock Wendy. "Stanley, Wendy's here at the Summit Academic Forum, but she doesn't even have an invitation." Stanley turned to Wendy and quietly asked, "You don't have an invitation?" Wendy shook her head. "Nope." Stanley smirked, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. "Looks like your 'impressive' boyfriend isn't all that great after all—he couldn't even get you an in

    Harry was Jessica's father, but the truth was that he had simply brought Jessica back from the Capital. Jessica wasn't even his biological daughter. Her real father...was someone of immense wealth and status. Jessica came from a family of extraordinary background. Of course, this was the biggest secret hidden deep within Edith and Harry's hearts, and they wouldn't dare reveal it at this moment. Edith looked at Wendy, her face cold. "Wendy, you should stop calling me 'Grandma'. I have no granddaughter like you!" Halsey was taken aback by Edith's lack of remorse. She couldn't believe the words she was hearing. Enraged, she stormed, "What?!" Just then, a small, soft hand gently rested on her arm. Wendy stepped forward, looking straight at Edith. "Grandma, are you really cutting ties with me?" Edith stood her ground, unflinching. "Yes, I am!" Wendy turned her gaze toward Lilian. "Mom, is that what you think too?" The same sentence echoed in Lilian's mind—"I'm
