Chapter 70
Benny was intrigued . “ What kind of competition ? ”
Wendy knew Benny was a big fan of mobile games . “ Let’s play a round of mobile games , and we’ll see who wins and who loses . ”
“ What ? ” Benny burst out laughing . “ You want to challenge me in a round of mobile games ? I’m a champion , Wendy ! Do you really think I’ll lose to someone like you ? ”
Wendy smirked . “ We’ll find out soon enough . ”
Benny pulled out his phone . “ Alright , let’s do this ! Today , I show you how it’s done . ”
Wendy pulled out her phone as well , and they both started the game .
In the game , Benny spun his character in midair , brandishing a large sword . “ Wendy , prepare to die ! ”
But in the next second , the sound of “ Game Over ” echoed through the room .
The game had ended .
Benny shot up from his seat , disbelief written all over his face . Just as he was showing off with his spin , Wendy had dropped down from above and , with a glowing axe , sliced through him .
He was defeated ..
Benny found it hard to believe . He was a seasoned player . He was a champion !
He stared at Wendy in shock . “ Wendy , you actually killed me ? ”
Wendy grinned , her lips curving up . “ Mr. Gondale , you lost . ”
She put her phone away and walked over to Cecelia , tearing off the tape from her mouth . “ Cecelia , are you hurt ? ”
Cecelia brushed herself off . “ I’m fine , Wendy . ”
“ Let’s go , Cecelia . ”
Wendy started to lead Cecelia out of the office , but Benny stepped in front of them . “ You’re not going anywhere ! ”
Wendy looked at Benny coldly . “ Mr. Gondale , a bet’s a bet . I won , and now you have to let us go . ”
Benny , still not willing to accept defeat , grumbled , “ Wendy I’m sure something went wrong . It’s impossible for me to lose to you . Let’s go again ! ”
At that moment , a deep , magnetic voice interrupted them . “ Benny , what’s going on here ? ”
Benny turned around to see Stanley standing by the door .
Stanley had arrived . Today , he was dressed in a black shirt and black pants , looking tall and handsome . His cold gaze landed on Benny’s face , clearly displeased .
“ Stanley , what are you doing here ? ” Benny asked , confused
Wendy said , “ I called Stanley . ”
Stanley looked up , his gaze meeting Wendy’s .
Wendy’s clear , cold eyes locked onto his , and for a moment , the two exchanged a silent understanding .

Benny , still confused , asked , “ Why did you call Stanley ? That’s not fair- ”
Before he could finish speaking , Stanley slapped him hard across the head . He pressed his lips together , reprimanding him . “ Who told you to come here and cause trouble , Benny ? Apologize , now ! ”
“ Stanley , you want me to apologize to Wendy ? 1- ”
Stanley raised his hand for another slap , his patience clearly running thin .
Benny quickly backed down , his bravado vanishing . He looked at Wendy . “ Wendy , I’m sorry . ”
Wendy walked up to Benny , standing tall and composed . Her slender figure and clear , cold eyes made her presence commanding .
“ Mr. Gondale , listen carefully . First , it wasn’t me who’s been clinging to Stanley . It’s Stanley who doesn’t let me divorce him . Rather than wasting time on me , maybe you should focus on figuring out how to get Stanley to agree to it . ”
Benny’s face reddened . “ You little- ”
“ Second , ” Wendy continued , stepping closer to him . “ I hope this is the last time . If you ever lay a finger on my friends again , I’ll make sure to teach you a lesson even if Stanley doesn’t . ”
