Wendy finally understood Edith’s intentions . So this was a matchmaking setup an attempt to marry her off to the countryside .
Matthew looked at Wendy , seemingly unprepared for how stunning she was . He gave an awkward smile and said , “ Nice to meet you , Ms. Crone . ”
Just then , Jessica’s laughter rang out . “ Grandma , what are you all talking about ?
Wendy lifted her gaze and saw Jessica – and she wasn’t alone . She was holding onts
Stanley’s arm as they walked in together .
Stanley was here , too .
Edith immediately put on a warm smile . “ Mr. Hawk , Jessica , you arrived just in time ! Wendy is in the middle of a matchmaking introduction . This is her potential husband
Matthew . ”
Without hesitation , Edith nudged Matthew forward , positioning him right next to Wendy
Trish had been in an excellent mood lately , her face brimming with arrogance as she
smirked .
“ Wendy , Matthew is a certified middle school teacher in the countryside . He has a stable government job and a college degree – he’s educated and cultured . Now look at you . You dropped out of school at 16 , and you have no degree and no job . Marrying Matthew is a step up for you . Grandma has gone to great lengths to arrange this for you . ”
Lilian chimed in with a laugh . “ Wendy , I think Matthew is a great match for you . You’d better agree to this marriage now – opportunities like this don’t come twice . ”
Jessica curled her lips into a sweet smile and tilted her head to look at Stanley . “ Stanley , don’t you think Wendy and Matthew make a perfect couple ? ”
Stanley’s gaze fell on Wendy .

Matthew , with his plain features and thick glasses , stood dutifully beside her . He wasn’t remarkable in any way . And yet , Wendy stood out like a delicate flower in full bloom beside
him .
Stanley pressed his thin lips together .
Edith turned to Matthew . “ Mr. Goodman , are you satisfied with Wendy ? ”
Men are visual creatures . Though Matthew had always believed that a wife should be chosen for her virtues rather than her looks , he couldn’t deny that Wendy’s natural beauty
and grace were captivating .
Even if Wendy had dropped out of school at 16 and lacked a degree or a job , he was willing
to overlook all of that .
Matthew looked at Wendy , his voice sincere . “ I’m very satisfied . Ms. Crone , I’ll be in Hovendale for two days . I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation to the Summit Academic Forum , and I’d love to take you to this prestigious event the day after tomorrow . It would be a great chance for us to get to know each other . ”
When Trish heard Matthew bringing up the Summit Academic Forum , her eyes sparkled with excitement . She turned eagerly to Stanley . “ Mr. Hawk , I heard that Harfield’s brilliant young prodigy will be giving the keynote speech alongside you ! ”
Lately , the biggest buzz in Hovendale had been about one thing – Harfield’s genius girl .
Even though Edith rarely left the family estate , she had already heard the name . Lilian and
Natalie from the third branch had also been hearing about her constantly from the high- society women they associated with .
Everyone was talking about this mysterious prodigy .
No matter how accomplished Jessica and Trish were , compared to this young genius , they
paled in comparison .
When faced with absolute intelligence and academic achievements , Jessica and Trish didn’t
even come close .

Edith let out a sigh of amazement . “ I heard that this Harfield genius , just like Mr. Hawk , skipped several grades and even earned dual master’s degrees by the age of 16. She set
another record . ”
Lilian shook her head in disbelief . “ Is there really a girl that remarkable ? Someone who can
stand on equal footing with Mr. Hawk ? ”
Natalie smirked . “ I already managed to get an invitation to the Summit Academic Forum . The whole family is going to attend . I’m really curious to see what this so – called genius girl looks like . Maybe she even has
superpowers ! ”
