The staff immediately stepped in . “ Ladies , please leave immediately . ”
“ Wendy , you can’t treat us like this … ! ”
With a swift motion of the hand , a group of security guards appeared and escorted Edith , Jessica , Trish , Lilian , and Natalie out of the venue without hesitation .
As they were forced out , Edith almost stumbled , but Jessica and Trish caught her on either
side .
“ Grandma , are you alright ? ”
Edith quickly shook off their support and shot them a cold glare . “ Did you see that ? Wendy is the prodigy ! ”
Edith had always considered Jessica and Trish the Crone family’s shining jewels . She had
never spoken harshly to them , but now , her frustration poured out .
“ Look at the effort I’ve put into you two ! You had private tutors , every path paved with money , and yet you only managed to make it into Ivy League schools and the top schools in the state . And Wendy ? She was sent to the countryside as a child , and now she’s a genius who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Hawk ! What a disgrace you two are ! ”
Regret churned inside Edith , nearly eating her alive . She regretted severing ties with Wendy
more than anything .
Wendy was the genius ! She could have brought so much honor to the Crone family .
Together , Jessica and Trish couldn’t measure up to Wendy .
Jessica and Trish stood there , pale and silent , too terrified to speak a word in their defense .
They thought back to all the insults they had thrown at Wendy , and now , Wendy must be looking at them as nothing more than foolish clowns .

At that moment , Lilian stepped forward , trying to calm things down . “ Mother … ”

“ Shut up ! ” Edith snapped , glaring at Lilian . “ You have no right to speak ! You’re the most
useless of all ! ”
Lilian froze . At that moment , she hated Wendy with all her heart . She couldn’t understand
why Wendy , the girl they had abandoned as a child , had turned into a genius .
“ I don’t want to see you all right now ! You’re all giving me a headache ! ” Edith hissed , and
with that , she stormed off .
“ Edith ! ”
“ Grandma ! ”
Trish , Lilian , and Natalie hurried after her .
Jessica stood alone , fuming in silence , her clenched jaw biting her gums until they bled .
Why did it have to be Wendy ? She was the genius freshman , Stanley’s junior !
Would Stanley regret it ?
Who wouldn’t fall for someone extraordinary ? Today , Stanley had discovered that the
housewife who had always revolved around him for the past three years was actually a genius who could stand at his side . Would he fall for her now ?
Stanley didn’t get a chance to speak with Wendy again , as Halsey had arrived .
Halsey surrounded Wendy , her voice full of excitement . “ Wendy , are you really the prodigy ? ”
Wendy smiled . “ In the flesh . ”
“ Oh , my god ! Wendy , I swear I’m in love with you , ” Halsey gushed , her admiration for
Wendy pouring out like a never – ending stream .

Wendy chuckled . “ We should head back . ”

The Summit Academic Forum had concluded , and Wendy bid farewell to Dave and the
others before heading out with Halsey .
They were planning to return to the girls ‘ dorm .
At that moment , Stanley’s tall , elegant figure appeared . He walked over , his voice low and magnetic . “ Let me give you a ride back . ”
He wanted to take Wendy back .
Before Wendy could respond , Lucas , the rising tech mogul , also approached , his gaze fixed on Wendy . “ Wendy , where are you headed ? Let me take you . ”
Lucas also wanted to give Wendy a ride .
Halsey looked between the two men , her eyes wide with realization .
Both men wanted to take Wendy home . How would she choose ?
