Chapter 99\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley furrowed his handsome brow, lifting his gaze from the papers to look at Zayn. \u201cWhere did he go?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGeorge ran to the Crone family estate,\u201d Zayn replied. \u201cAnd Mr. Gondale has already invited thirty\u2013six media outlets from Hovendale to hold a press conference. They\u2019re planning to accuse Mrs. Hawk of abusing and abandoning her adoptive father.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley pressed his lips together, his irritation growing. What was Benny thinking?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you all doing? You incapacitated George, and he managed to escape?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing his boss get angry, Zayn was drenched in cold sweat. \u201cMr. Hawk, it\u2019s-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s my orders,\u201d Wendy suddenly interrupted in a clear voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley turned to look at her. \u201cYour orders?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy nodded. \u201cYes, I told Zayn to let George go on purpose.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s dark gaze deepened. \u201cWhy would you do that? They\u2019re planning to hold a press conference. That scumbag is trying to stick to you for life! I\u2019ll send my men to the Crones estate to bring George back, and the press conference will be canceled. Everything will go back to normal, as if nothing ever happened. No one will ever know what you don\u2019t want them to.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy knew that with his power and influence, Stanley could easily erase everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had once wondered what he would think if he ever found out about her past with George. But now, he didn\u2019t seem to care at all. Instead, he was protecting her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was protecting her from the wounds in her heart that were too painful to reveal, sparing her from the judgment and whispers of others, shielding her from further harm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy interrupted him. \u201cMr. Hawk, there\u2019s no need for you to do anything. I\u2019ll handle this from here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Handle it herself? How would she handle it?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley was skeptical. \u201cWendy, what are you-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hawk,\u201d Wendy cut in with a playful smile, her lips curving up as she winked at him. \u201cYou\u2019ve already helped me once. There\u2019s no need to help me again. I\u2019d hate to feel like I owe you more.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The atmosphere shifted at her words. Wendy was reminded of how she had repaid him last night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley, too, thought about her \u201crepayment\u201d from the night before. He shifted his gaze back to the papers, his tone cold and indifferent as he said, \u201cDo as you wish.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy watched him, noting how he had returned to his usual distant, stoic self ever since they left that inn. The night before was something only the two of them knew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, a familiar voice echoed in the room. \u201cStanley, what\u2019s going on with that press conference? Why is everyone saying that Wendy\u2026\u2018\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan had arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment Nathan spotted Wendy, his face lit up with surprise. \u201cWendy, what are you doing here?\u201d Wendy smiled and sat down on the sofa. \u201cNathan, what\u2019s everyone saying about me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan took a seat next to her. \u201cThey\u2019re saying you\u2019re materialistic, that you\u2019ve abandoned your adoptive father\u00a0<\/p>\n

and even mistreated him. They\u2019re accusing you of rejecting your father because he\u2019s from the countryside.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNathan, do you believe that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan shook his head, laughing. \u201cIf you were so materialistic, you would\u2019ve been all over me. But you haven\u2019t even agreed to my advances.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He, after all, was very wealthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy didn\u2019t know how to respond to that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley, sitting in his office chair, wore a dark expression. So, this is what they were doing\u2013flirting right in front of him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWendy, where were you last night?\u201d Nathan suddenly asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last night\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy\u2019s heart skipped a beat. \u201cWhy do you ask?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI called you last night, but you didn\u2019t answer. Even Stanley\u2019s phone was unreachable.\u201d Nathan\u2019s suspicious gaze shifted between the two of them. \u201cDid you two spend the night together?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
