Chapter 153\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley knew Wendy was fast, but he never imagined she could be this fast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019d never come across a real challenge in a game until now\u2013Wendy was the one to give him a run for his money.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was completely unexpected for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny, sensing something was off, panicked. \u201cWhat the hell, Stanley? Wendy can actually keep up with you. Stay focused! If I lose this round, I\u2019ll drop from champion to bronze!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as he finished speaking, Zayn walked into the room \u201cMr. Hawk, there\u2019s a call from the family estate\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The family estate? What had happened?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s attention wavered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And in that second\u2013game over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His fingers froze mid\u2013air. He lost.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While Stanley was distracted, Wendy took advantage, bringing her axe down hard and knocking him flat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He lost\u2026to Wendy!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley had only wanted to teach her a small lesson, to make her cry\u2026but this?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny\u2019s voice suddenly erupted in disbelief. \u201cWhat?! Stanley, you lost? Oh my god! I\u2019ve dropped to bronze! Noooo \u2026\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It had taken Benny three years to reach the champion rank, but with just a few matches against Wendy, it was all\u00a0<\/p>\n
gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why? Why had this happened?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny felt like his heart had been ripped out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley, however, was oddly calm, though he couldn\u2019t help but find the whole thing a bit funny. He pressed his tongue to the inside of his cheek and chuckled softly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy had truly surprised him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He glanced up at Zayn. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on at Grandma\u2019s?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hawk, the family estate called and said the herbal recipe Mrs. Hawk gave to Mrs. Glinda is missing. Mrs. Glinda is asking if you can get another copy from Mrs. Hawk.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
So Glinda was fine, but it seemed the herbal recipe Wendy had left behind was the issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley pulled out his phone and immediately opened his WhatsApp. He dialed Wendy for a video call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the girls\u2018 dorm, Wendy had just won the game, but she knew it wasn\u2019t due to her skill. Her opponent, Benny, had seemed to suddenly level up, as if he had ascended to a new realm of power. She was a little stunned by how strong he had became.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t been able to beat him fairly until\u2014she wasn\u2019t sure if it was a lag or some glitch\u2013but he made a mistake, and she took advantage of the opening. That was when she landed the final blow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In truth, Wendy knew she would never have beaten him if they had played with real skill.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why had Benny been so strong all of a sudden?\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she puzzled over it, her phone rang. It was a video call from Stanley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why was he calling her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy tapped the screen to answer, and there he was\u2013Stanley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was sitting in a sleek black leather office chair, wearing a crisp white shirt. The custom\u2013made fabric clung to his muscular chest and broad shoulders; adding an extra layer of sophistication to his already strikingly handsome, cool, and untouchable demeanor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley was truly the hardest man to get close to in Hovendale, a high\u2013profile bachelor everyone talked about.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy stared at him through the screen. \u201cIs there something you need?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley watched her, his gaze lingering, Wendy had just showered, and her long, black hair was loosely tied into a casual bun. A few strands had fallen out, gently draping around her snow\u2013white neck, giving her a soft, ethereal \u2013 beauty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was wearing a thin, white camisole. The delicate strapsrested lightly on her shoulders, leaving her smooth skin exposed. The sight was almost blinding in its sheer allure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley paused for a moment, taken aback. He had never seen her like this before\u2013fresh from the shower, with her hair in a messy bun and dressed so casually. It gave her an air of pure, youthful innocence that was impossible to ignore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
