Wendy could turn to Nathan for help.

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.
