Wendy\u2019s absence only seemed to highlight Trish\u2019s success.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trish signed autographs for the group of students, then cheerfully walked over to Wendy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWendy, I heard you were kidnapped by Paul. Why do you always get yourself into trouble? You\u2019re making our Crone family look bad!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
No one from the Crone family seemed to care about her, only blaming her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy wasn\u2019t the least bit upset\u2014she was used to it by now. She gave a playful wink, her voice light as she replied, \u201cI don\u2019t mind making the Crone family look bad, as long as you\u2019re there to make up for it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The comment struck a chord with Trish. She immediately smiled, her lips curling into a proud grin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou heard about my academic paper, right? It was selected by the Medical Museum, and tomorrow, it\u2019s 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even Edith was getting involved\u2013after all, Trish was Edith\u2019s pride and joy. Not only was she the shining star of Clavendale University, but she was also the pride of the Crane family. Tomorrow, Edith would bring the entire third branch of the family to witness Trish\u2019s big moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy raised an eyebrow. Even though she hadn\u2019t been to the Crones\u2018 residence in ages, she could imagine how thrilled they all were.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She smiled. \u201cThen I\u2019ll go to the Medical Museum tomorrow too, just to join in the excitement.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou?\u201d Trish eyed Wendy with disdain. \u201cYou can come if you want, but I know you\u2019re just a small\u2013town girl trying to rub shoulders with people like me. Just don\u2019t cause trouble or embarrass yourself, or I\u2019ll make sure the Medical Museum staff kicks you out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy smirked. \u201cSure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trish strutted away in her high heels, as haughty as ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halsey, clearly confused, asked, \u201cWendy, are you really going to the Medical Museum tomorrow? Trish and her family will definitely humiliate you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy gave Halsey\u2019s hand a reassuring pat. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I know what I\u2019m doing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She took out her phone and texted her Third Senior. [Samuel, send me Trish\u2019s academic paper that got selected by the Medical Museum.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Samuel quickly replied to her. [Okay.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
At Hawk Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley had spent the entire day in his office, buried in work. The last few days, he\u2019d been preoccupied with Wendy, and now the work had piled up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That evening, Benny showed up. He flopped down onto the couch, complaining, \u201cStanley, I can\u2019t believe you\u2019ve made such a mess of things with the Andrews family all for a girl like Wendy. I swear, I think you\u2019re under some kind of spell.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley looked up from his paperwork and cast Benny a col, disinterested glance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 151\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny immediately shut up. Though he wasn\u2019t afraid of anyone, he certainly feared Stanley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 BONUS\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even so, Benny couldn\u2019t let it go. He pulled up his game and tagged Wendy, challenging her to a game. After being knocked out by Wendy last time, Benny had upgraded his gear and was eager to get revenge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Wendy was back in the girls\u2018 dorm, reading the academic paper Samuel had sent her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, her game account lit up with constant notifications. Benny had sent her a challenge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Wendy, come on!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Let\u2019s play a game!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Prepare to lose!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Are you scared?]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Chicken!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy stared at the screen, exasperated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny was challenging her to a game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy set aside the academic paper, logged into her game account, and replied, [Fine, I\u2019ll play one round with you.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny was overjoyed. Wendy was online! She was coming to \u201cdie\u201d at his hands!\u00a0<\/p>\n
The game started.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny had spent a lot of money upgrading his weapons. What had once been a big sword was now a Zen staff. He charged at Wendy with an intense, ferocious attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGame over.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
