Chapter 156\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over the years, Stanley had been surrounded by the temptation of women, and he had met some skilled ones. He knew what Wendy was doing\u2013she was trying to tease him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wanted to see if she could hook him in, if he would take the bait.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A thin, knowing smile tugged at the corner of Stanley\u2019s lips. That little temptress.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, his phone rang, cutting through the tension. The screen flashed with the caller ID, \u201cJessica\u201c.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The display of her name immediately cooled Stanley down. The heat that Wendy had stirred up in him slowly faded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley answered the call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica\u2019s soft voice came through. \u201cStanley, are you still upset? I\u2019m sorry. I shouldn\u2019t have argued with you or thrown things. Honestly, I was just jealous. I got jealous that you were so kind to Wendy. Please don\u2019t be angry anymore. I love you. I really, really love you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over the years, Jessica had been spoiled by him, but now, she was humbling herself, apologizing and coaxing him gently, telling him over and over how much she loved him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley felt his heart stir. After all, she was his girl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica was his girl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley softened his gaze and said, \u201cI was wrong, too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica\u2019s mood lifted immediately. \u201cWell, then let\u2019s just forget about it. Nathan\u2019s birthday is tomorrow. Everyone\u2019s getting ready for his celebration. Let\u2019s go together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley replied, \u201cAlright.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They hung up the phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, Benny emerged from the bathroom, his face still wet from splashing cold water. He couldn\u2019t accept the fact that he had dropped from a champion rank to bronze. \u201cStanley, I\u2019m bronze now! I hate Wendy!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley shot Benny a glance. \u201cGive it a rest. Go out and date someone instead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to date too,\u201d Benny said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho\u2019s caught your eye this time?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny\u2019s mood suddenly lifted, and he leaned in, asking Stanley with a bit of excitement, \u201cStanley, do you think the genius freshman is pretty?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley raised an eyebrow. So, Benny was interested in her now?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny grinned, clearly excited. \u201cStanley, I\u2019ll leave now. See you at Nathan\u2019s birthday party tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley didn\u2019t pay much attention to Benny\u2019s interest in the genius freshman. After all, people can love whomever they want. He didn\u2019t mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley glanced at the message from Wendy. [Do you want it?]\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t reply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He rejected Wendy\u2019s temptation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She was trying to hook him\u2013no way was happening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy didn\u2019t get a response from him, but deep down, she knew she wouldn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley had Jessica by his side, and there were always plenty of beautiful women around him. His physical needs could be satisfied in many ways. What was she to him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t win this untouchable man.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He truly didn\u2019t have feelings for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy let out a self\u2013deprecating laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She pulled out Trish\u2019s academic paper again and circled two mistakes with a red pen before sending it to Samuel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Samuel quickly replied, [I can\u2019t believe there are such serious mistakes in this academic paper! I\u2019ll have the Medical Museum pull it down.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next day, Trish arrived at the Medical Museum with Edith, Archer, and Natalie. They walked past the display cases, where they saw Trish\u2019s academic paper displayed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWow!\u201d Edith\u2019s eyes lit up as she grabbed Trish\u2019s hand. \u201cI never thought someone from our family would make a name for herself at the Medical Museum. Trish, you\u2019ve never let me down. Having you is a blessing for our family. You are the light of the Crone family!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
