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 ? Im 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 liked Halsey . Even though Halsey had a visible flaw , she wasn’t ashamed of it at all . In fact , she was confident , bright , and full of energy .
Suddenly , Halsey hooked her arm through Wendy’s . “ Wendy , come on ! I’m taking you out to a bar . ”
A bar ?
Wendy hesitated , but before she could respond , Halsey had already dragged her along .
They arrived at the 1996 Bar , and with a grand flourish , Halsey waved her hand at the waiter . “ We want the most luxurious private room you have ! ”
Wendy quickly tugged Halsey’s sleeve , whispering , “ Do you have enough money for this ? ”
Halsey patted her chest proudly . “ I’m loaded ! ”
Wendy blinked , saying nothing .
The waiter gave an apologetic smile . “ I’m sorry , ladies , but our most luxurious room is always reserved for Mr. Gondale . Tonight , he’s using it to entertain Mr. Hawk . ”
1996 was part of the Gondale family’s business empire , and Benny’s father was the owner of the establishment . Tonight , he was hosting Stanley .
Halsey raised an eyebrow . “ Mr. Hawk is here ? ”
“ Yes , Mr. Hawk is here with his girlfriend , Ms. Crone , for a game of cards . Mr. Gondale and a few other wealthy heirs are accompanying him . That’s Mr. Hawk’s private room . ”
Wendy hadn’t expected Stanley to be here tonight with Jessica . What a coincidence .
She looked up and saw the luxurious private room at the back of the bar . That was Stanley’s room .
Halsey grabbed her arm . “ Wendy , let’s go check it out . ”
Wendy was pulled to the door of the room , and as she peered inside , she saw the lively scene . The group was

gathered around a card table , and in the main seat, Wendy spotted Stanley .
Tonight , Stanley looked every bit the classic heartthrob . He wore a white shirt with black dress pants , the top two buttons casually undone , exposing his finely chiseled collarbones . He sat at the main seat of the table , holding his cards with a relaxed , yet elegant air – handsome , effortlessly cool , and just a little lazy , making him all the more charming .
Beside him sat Jessica , who was dressed in a sleeveless floral dress , the fabric adorned with large , blooming roses . She looked stunning , her beauty matching perfectly with Stanley’s .
Together , they were like a picture – perfect couple , impossible to ignore .
Benny and two other rich young men were also at the table laughing and playing cards .
Benny was in a good mood . “ Stanley , you’re about to lose again . You’ve already lost a lot tonight . ”
