Chapter 309
Edith , along with the second and third branches , had received their invitations to the Summit Academic Forum long ago . They were all eager to see this genius girl for
themselves .
None of them could imagine what this prodigy could possibly be like , and they were curious
about what made her so remarkable .
Jessica , still holding onto Stanley’s arm , couldn’t help but feel a burning jealousy whenever
the genius girl was mentioned .
Right now , the spotlight of all of Hovendale was on this prodigy . Everyone was buzzing with anticipation for Stanley and the genius girl’s first public appearance together . Jessica was determined to witness it herself the day after tomorrow .
Wendy stood off to the side , her clear , bright eyes gleaming with a quiet , amused smile as she watched the scene . She couldn’t help but find it a little funny .
She gave a brief smile , just a touch of amusement curling her lips .
Before she could even let the smile fade , she felt a piercing gaze fixed on her . She glanced up and immediately met Stanley’s cold eyes .
He had been staring at her the whole time .
Wendy quickly looked away , feeling an uncomfortable shiver .
Lilian steered the conversation back to the matter at hand . “ Wendy , Mr. Goodman has already expressed his interest . Why don’t you spend a few days with him , go on a date , and see how things go ? After that , we can settle the marriage . ”
Wendy stared at Lilian , her mother , who was so eager to marry her off that it seemed she couldn’t wait for the wedding night to arrive . Clearly , this was all just to remove the obstacle between Jessica and her goal .

Wendy looked at Matthew . “ Mr. Goodman , I’m sorry , but this isn’t going to work . You don’t need to waste your time on me . ”
Her words left everyone stunned .
Edith was the first to react , scolding her harshly . “ Wendy , are you out of your mind ? Are you turning down Mr. Goodman ? ”
Trish added , “ Wendy , Mr. Goodman just said he wants to take you to the Summit Academic Forum . Do you honestly think you have a chance to get in on your own ? ”
Lilian frowned . “ Wendy , Mr. Goodman doesn’t mind that you don’t have a degree or a job , and you’re still turning him down ? ”
Jessica , too , thought Wendy was being ungrateful . Matthew was a great match — he had a degree and a steady job as a teacher . If it weren’t for Wendy’s looks , he probably wouldn’t
even consider her .
Everyone was criticizing Wendy , and she could tell it was genuine disappointment . They all seemed to believe she was reaching far beyond her grasp with someone like Matthew .
Wendy smirked . “ Sorry , everyone , but thank you for your good intentions . However … I already have a boyfriend ! ”
The room fell silent .
– “ When did you get a boyfriend ? ”
“ Who’s your boyfriend ? ”
Jessica couldn’t sit still anymore . She didn’t know what kind of game Wendy was playing now . With a sarcastic tone , she teased , “ Wendy , I know you’ve always had high hopes for yourself . You don’t want to marry a teacher , you want to marry a rich man , right ? ”
With that , Jessica glanced over at Stanley . “ Stanley , you know so many company CEOs . Why don’t you introduce one of them to Wendy ? ”

Stanley studied Wendy for a moment . They had divorced not long ago , but now she had a boyfriend ?
Wendy glanced at Jessica , then let her eyes rest on Stanley’s handsome , dignified face . She remembered him promising her at that little inn that he would introduce her to a suitable
CEO .
“ No need to trouble Mr. Hawk . My boyfriend is already very wealthy ! ” Wendy raised an eyebrow , clearly proud of herself .
Wealthy ?
Trish burst out laughing first . “ Wendy , what kind of rich person would be interested in you ? It wouldn’t happen to be some old , ugly man , would it ? ”
Wendy placed her hands playfully behind her back and winked . “ My boyfriend is not only wealthy , but he’s also handsome and tall , like Henry
Cavill . ”
