Glinda looked up at the large “ Happy Foot Massage ” sign and took a sip of her milkshake , curiosity piqued . ” Wendy , what is this place ? ”
Wendy raised an eyebrow playfully and grinned . “ They often say relaxation is just a massage away . Grandma , Halsey , I’m treating you to a foot massage ! ”
The three of them strutted inside with confidence , and the shop’s manager immediately greeted them warmly .
Wendy said with a smile , “ We’d like three male therapists , and make sure you send over your tallest and most handsome ones ! ”
The manager responded eagerly , “ Of course , ladies . Right this way , please . ”
Back at the restaurant , Stanley and Jessica were dining in the romantic ambiance of candlelight and piano music when Stanley’s phone suddenly vibrated . It was a call from the Hawk family’s estate .
Stanley answered , and the frantic voice of the butler , Freddy , came through . “ Hello , Mr. Hawk , something’s wrong ! ”
Stanley’s face hardened . “ What happened ? ”
“ Mrs. Glinda is missing ! ”
What?
“ When did she go missing ? ” Stanley’s voice grew cold .
“ I went out for a while this afternoon . When I came back , Mrs. Glinda was gone … By the way , these past couple of days , Mrs. Glinda has been mentioning Mrs. Hawk a lot , asking if she’s okay at school , if anyone’s bothering her . Do you think she might have gone to find Mrs. Hawk ? ”
Suddenly , Stanley remembered something . He looked up , his gaze shifting through the shining glass of the floor- to – ceiling windows to the milkshake shop across the street .
It was very close to Clavendale University .
The elderly woman he’d seen earlier , sipping on a milkshake , wasn’t just anyone – it was his grandmother !
Stanley hung up the phone and stood up abruptly .
Jessica looked confused . “ Stanley , what’s wrong ? ”
Stanley pressed his lips together . “ Something’s come up with my grandma . I can’t stay with you tonight . You’ll have to go home by yourself . ”
He turned and walked away without another word .
Seeing that the romantic dinner was ruined , Jessica felt a surge of anger . Was Glinda doing this on purpose ?
She had thought that after breaking the ice with Stanley , she could finally get closer to him , but once again , their time together was interrupted — yesterday by that Bebe character , and today , by Glinda !
Stanley arrived at the foot massage shop soon after , where Zayn quietly reported , “ Mr. Hawk , I’ve found out that Mrs. Hawk … brought Mrs. Glinda and Miss Halsey here . ”

Stanley gazed up at the signboard with “ Happy Foot Massage ” written on it . “ What kind of place is this ? ”
Zayn hesitated . “ Um … ”
Stanley’s eyes narrowed . “ Cat got your tongue ? ”
Zayn wiped the sweat from his forehead . “ They say relaxation is just a massage away … ”
Stanley froze for a moment .
So Wendy had brought Glinda and Bebe here for a foot massage ?
He clenched his jaw in disbelief .
Stanley stormed into the building , his tall , imposing figure striding with purpose .
The manager greeted him enthusiastically , “ Hey , there , handsome . Are you here for a foot massage ? ” Before she could say anything else , a group of well – trained bodyguards in black suits stormed in , blocking her . Stanley and Zayn walked past her , and every step he took sent a commanding presence that turned heads .
The manager stood stunned . This man was leagues ahead of their top therapist in looks and aura .
Inside VIP Room 303 , the bodyguards opened the door and stood aside .
Stanley entered and saw the three of them : Wendy , Glinda , and Halsey . They were lounging comfortably on the sofa , and in front of them were three tall , handsome male therapists , giving them foot massages . Wendy looked up , her face glowing with amusement . “ Grandma , how’s the foot massage ? Is it good ? ”
