Wendy arrived at Nathan’s villa and was surprised to find his assistant packing up his things .
“ Nathan , what’s going on ? ” Wendy asked , confused .
Nathan flashed a smile . “ My dad just called . There’s been an issue with one of the overseas companies , and I need to fly back . ”
In recent years , the Lowes had shifted their business abroad , and their assets were all over the world . This time , Nathan had simply returned for a brief vacation .
But Nathan’s sudden departure , especially at this moment , made Wendy wonder if it had something to do with Stanley .
Could Stanley have secretly orchestrated something to get Nathan to leave ?
“ Did you need something ? ” Nathan asked , his voice soft .
Wendy shook her head . “ No , nothing . ”
“ Wendy , ” he said , his eyes soft with affection , “ do you want me to stay ? ”
Wendy knew this was Nathan’s last attempt to test her feelings . If she said yes , he would stay .
“ I’m not worth it . You’ll meet someone better than me someday . ”
Wendy offered no hope , no promises .
Nathan wasn’t surprised . He had had feelings for Wendy from the start , but she had always rejected him . Now , he was ready to let go .
“ Alright , then . I’ll be leaving now . ”
“ Let me take you to the airport . ”
“ No. If you come to see me off , I won’t want to leave . ”
Wendy stopped in her tracks . “ Goodbye , Nathan .
Nathan smiled and opened his arms , giving her a brief hug . ‘ We’ll still be friends . You can reach out anytime . ”
“ Okay .
Nathan released her , then left with his assistant .
Once Nathan was gone , Wendy slowly looked away . It seemed she had to come up with a new plan to save Cecelia .
That was when an idea suddenly struck her .
Wendy pulled out her phone and quickly sent a text .
Wendy arrived at Hawk Group and walked up to the front desk . “ Hi , I’d like to see- ”
Before she could finish , the receptionist recognized her and greeted her with surprise . “ Mrs. Hawk , what brings

you here ? ”
Wendy froze . She and Stanley had a secret marriage , and since she rarely came to Hawk Group , how did anyone here recognize her ?
“ Mrs. Hawk , you’re here to see Mr. Hawk , right ? Please , follow me . ”
The receptionist led Wendy straight to the elevator , heading toward the CEO’s office .
As they passed by several employees , Wendy noticed the bright looks in their eyes . Everyone nodded and greeted her with respectful smiles . “ Mrs. Hawk . ”
Wendy blinked , confused . “ Do you all know me ? ”
“ Of course , we all know you ! You’re still at Clavendale University , right ? We saw Mr. Hawk being called away as your representative during one of the meetings . ”
Wendy fell silent .
She hadn’t realized her “ glorious ” moments had spread all over Hawk Group . Everyone seemed to be gossiping about her and Stanley .
“ Don’t mind us . We may have joined Hawk Group , but we weren’t always top students . But don’t worry ! Mr. Hawk is a genius , a Harfield grad . You can always ask him for help with your homework . He’ll guide you through it , I’m sure ! ”
Wendy stayed quiet , unsure what to say .
The receptionist brought Wendy to a conference room outside the CEO’s office . “ Mrs. Hawk , please wait here for a moment . Mr. Hawk is currently meeting with some important foreign clients . ”
Through the large , shining glass windows , Wendy could just make out Stanley inside .
