Chapter 111

The truth was, Wendy had long since grown used to it. Wandering, drifting through life—she had grown up that way. But it was only now that she realized something: Warmth, not hardship, was what made her heart ache the most. That was what brought her to tears.Glinda reached out and pulled Wendy into a gentle embrace, patting her back as if soothing a child. "Silly girl, why are you being so formal with me?""Grandma, there's something I need to tell you.""Sure, darling. What is it?"Outside the door, Stanley stood quietly, watching. Wendy was leaning on Glinda's shoulder, her delicate lashes fluttering as she cried silently, her tears falling like raindrops. "Grandma, I can't stay here anymore. I'm leaving."Glinda was shocked. "What? Why? Has that boy Stanley been bullying you again? I'll go teach him a lesson right now!"Freddy immediately handed her a feather duster. "Mrs. Glinda, use this!"Glinda took it in hand, shaking her head. "Wendy, don't go. You're not the one w

Wendy was just someone brought in to replace another. A small mistake, really. Stanley admitted there was a brief moment when he was lost in desire, but he didn't love her. The person he cared about was Jessica. The person he wanted around was Jessica.He didn't want to be caught between two women. His relationship with Wendy should be over.-Late at night, Cecelia heard a knock at the door. She quickly threw on a robe and went to open it. "Who's there?"Standing outside was Wendy. Wendy wasn't carrying anything, except for the pale yellow vest that Glinda had given her. With a wry smile, Wendy looked at Cecelia and said, "Cecelia, I have nowhere else to go. Can you take me in?"Cecelia immediately pulled her inside. Noticing how cold Wendy's hands were, Cecelia gently rubbed them. "Wendy, what happened? Why are you out here by yourself so late? It's not safe."Wendy gave a faint smile. "Today, Jessica threw herself down the stairs and told Stanley he couldn't share a room

At the moment, Cyril was standing while Wendy was sitting. By all accounts, Cyril should have had the upper hand. But Wendy sat there with perfect posture, her clear, bright eyes calmly studying Cyril. Her composed and confident presence somehow made Cyril feel dwarfed.Cyril cleared his throat. "Y-yes, I am."Cyril mentally scolded himself. What was he even saying? Aside from his revered mentor, Dr. Ceylan, no one ever dared call him by his full name. And yet, this niece-in-law of his addressed him this way.Cyril wanted to reprimand her. "You little—"But before he could say anything, Wendy gave a small nod and said, "Alright, go ahead and give your lecture."Cyril froze. Who was the professor here, and who was the student? She was giving him orders now?But something in Wendy's gaze seemed to make Cyril's body move on its own. Without another word, he turned around and walked to the front of the classroom. Grabbing the chalk, he started his lesson.Why was he doing as s

Wendy's dormitory was shared by two people. One was her, and the other was Halsey Mallin.Halsey grinned as she looked at Wendy. "You're Wendy, right? I'm Halsey. Looks like we're roommates now."Halsey was a lively, cheerful girl. However, there was a noticeable birthmark on the right side of her face—a large black mark that stood out starkly against her fair skin.Noticing Wendy staring at the mark, Halsey wasn't shy about it. She shrugged casually and said, "This birthmark is natural. The doctors said they can't remove it, so my classmates call me 'Clown Girl' behind my back. No one wants to live with me."She gave a small shrug. "If you don't want to stay with me either, that's fine…"Wendy smiled and shook her head. "Well, how about that? I'm a country bumpkin, so I guess we're a perfect match. Looks like we're destined to be roommates."Wendy extended her hand in friendship.Halsey beamed and took Wendy's hand in hers.The two of them quickly became close. Wendy really li

Tonight, Stanley had been losing steadily, his luck simply not with him. His handsome face had taken on a cold, distant expression.Jessica was focused on her cards, and a bowl of fresh seasonal fruits was beside her. She delicately picked a large, dark purple grape, peeled it, and gently held it to Stanley's lips. Stanley, still distracted by the game, opened his mouth and took the grape from her. His attention was split between the cards and Jessica's affectionate gestures.Jessica leaned into him, a picture of a loving, attentive partner. She even held out her soft palm to catch the pit from the grape Stanley had just chewed.She was like a shy little wife, dutifully caring for Stanley.The two young men at the table chuckled. "Only Mr. Hawk could get Hovendale's number one beauty to pamper him like this.""Seems like you can't have it both ways. No wonder Mr. Hawk has been losing tonight."Jessica smiled, a playful pout on her lips. "Stop making fun of me, you guys."Outsi

Wendy spotted Sienna sitting on the couch, laughing and causing a stir, clearly having a great time.Sienna smiled and said, "Stanley, Jessica, while everyone's in such a good mood, let me tell you all a joke."Jessica's curiosity was piqued, and she asked, "What joke?"Sienna grinned mischievously, "It's about Wendy!"Standing just outside, Wendy felt a sudden rush of discomfort. It wasn't exactly the best time for her to be pulled into their fun, especially when Stanley and Jessica were so happy. She had been thinking earlier that she didn't belong in their world, but now, it seemed someone was determined to drag her into it.Sienna continued, "Today's Wendy's first day at Clavendale University, and she's already made a name for herself!"Benny looked at her with contempt. "Seriously? Someone like her?"Sienna chuckled. "Oh, yeah. She's the 'God of Sleep'. She slept through the entire day at Clavendale University!"The room erupted in laughter. Benny was the first to laug

Wendy had already pulled Halsey out of the restroom, and the two of them made their way toward the exit. As she listened to the voice message from Cyril, Wendy quickly typed a short reply, [Cyril, you got this.]Back in his study, Cyril couldn't help but feel touched by how warm the message sounded. He quickly responded with a voice message of his own, "Yeah, I'll do my best!"Wendy tucked her phone back into her bag just as Halsey grabbed her arm. "Wendy, let's go."The two were about to leave when the bathroom door suddenly opened. Two people walked in.It was Jessica and Sienna.The four of them crossed paths right at that moment.Jessica immediately grinned, her expression full of smug satisfaction. "Wendy, what are you doing here? I heard Stanley kicked you out of the Hawk family's estate. Now you're staying in the dorms at Clavendale University?"She'd made quite the scene when she fell down the stairs, and now she couldn't wait to rub her victory in Wendy's face, the su

Jessica frowned slightly. "Sienna, Glinda has never fully accepted me, so I need to secure the support of the Lincoln family. Bebe is crucial to that. If I can get close to her, make her like me, and become her friend, I'll be one step closer to marrying Stanley and becoming his wife."Jessica was skilled at winning people over. Benny, Sienna, and the other rich heirs in Stanley's circle all liked her. It was clear she had a way with people, and now she had to make Bebe like her. Bebe was the key to securing the support of the entire Lincoln family. That was Stanley's mother's family, and it was absolutely vital to her plans.Sienna nodded. "I'll keep looking for her, Jessica. Honestly, I'm curious about who Bebe really is, too."-Back in the luxurious private room, Jessica noticed Stanley was missing. He hadn't returned since he left earlier. She walked through the lavish lounge and found him lounging on a sofa. Stanley had been drinking, and it seemed like his mood was still

Jessica asked Stanley for a kiss.Stanley's eyes lingered on Jessica's delicate, rosy face. Compared to Wendy's small, delicate features, Jessica's was a vision of youthful allure, soft and inviting. Where Wendy seemed to always frustrate him and leave him annoyed, Jessica was a breath of fresh air—graceful and easy to be around.Stanley slowly lowered his head toward her...-Meanwhile, Wendy and Halsey had a drink or two and spent a little time at the bar before deciding to head home. They stepped out onto the bustling street, hoping to grab a taxi. However, the area was busy, and there weren't many taxis passing by. Wendy thought of an idea. "Halsey, how about we just rent a bike and ride back?"Halsey raised an eyebrow. "No need, Wendy. I'll just call my cousin and have him send a car over.""Cousin? Halsey, you have a cousin?" Wendy asked, intrigued.Halsey gave a mysterious wink. "Yep.""Well, I think it's fine. It's getting pretty late. No need to bother your cousin.

This was a very dangerous sign. Stanley stretched his long legs and stood up before leaving the room. He instructed Zayn to arrange for a car. Jessica realized Bebe seemed to have a special place in Stanley's heart. Just one call from her, and he immediately jumped into action. She made up her mind: She had to find out who Bebe was. She had to become her best friend.-Meanwhile, Wendy and Halsey were still standing on the busy street. Before long, a sleek Rolls-Royce pulled up, its engine purring softly. The driver opened the rear door respectfully, and both Wendy and Halsey slid into the luxurious car. Wendy stared, wide-eyed. "Halsey, is your cousin rich?"A Rolls-Royce—Stanley's personal car was also this brand. Was this brand favored by scumbags? Halsey chuckled. "Yep, he's pretty wealthy. Wendy, let me set you up with my cousin. You can be my cousin-in-law." What? Wendy quickly declined. "Thank you, Halsey, but I think I'll pass. I'm not cut out for that kind o
