Chapter 269
Stanley’s deep voice rang out. “Mr. Suarez, are you saying that the genius freshman is attending the Summit Academic Forum?”
What?
The phrase “genius freshman” struck Jessica like a lightning bolt, instantly capturing her attention. Was the mysterious and aloof genius freshman about to make an appearance?
“She’s actually been in Hovendale this whole time,” Dave replied. “Unfortunately, you’ve never met her. She’ll be attending the Summit Academic Forum, so you two will finally get to meet. Please make sure to find some time to attend the event.”
Stanley nodded. “Alright.”
After they hung up, Jessica was in shock. “Stanley, the genius freshman has been in Hovendale all this time? Who is she?”
Hovendale’s circle wasn’t that large, and she had never heard of this brilliant young woman before.
Jessica felt uneasy about the existence of this genius freshman.
Stanley, equally unaware, didn’t know who she was either.
Thinking about the freshman’s mysterious, cool demeanor, Stanley raised an eyebrow. To be honest, he was quite curious himself.
“We’ll find out when the time comes,” he replied.
Wendy had been bedridden for seven days, trapped in a feverish haze.
By the eighth day, she was better, her sickness slipping away. She was fully recovered.
Halsey and Cecelia rushed to her side. “Wendy, you really scared us.”
Wendy opened the window. The bright, warm sunlight poured over her fragile form, casting a golden glow. She took a deep breath of the fresh air outside, then playfully winked.
“Girls, don’t worry. I’m fine now.”
She had healed herself.
The light had returned to her eyes. Although the process of breaking herself apart and rebuilding was excruciating, she was well again.
She had accepted that Stanley didn’t love her and didn’t want her around anymore. She bore the pain and, with great effort, had carved Stanley from the depths of her heart.
She had no regrets.
She had loved with all her heart, throwing herself at the fire that ruined her.
And so, there were no regrets.
Halsey and Cecelia cheered.
“I knew you wouldn’t let a man destroy you!”

Chapter 269
“You’re single again now. The world’s your oyster! Screw Stanley!”
Wendy wrapped an arm around each of them. “That’s right. It’s all in the past. Screw Stanley!”
They all laughed together.
Soon after, Wendy returned to class. It was Cyril’s lecture again.

Cyril was teaching at the front of the class, but Wendy felt drowsy and rested her head on the desk, dozing off. Seeing Wendy sleeping during his class, Cyril shook his head. She really didn’t deserve someone like Stanley. What Cyril didn’t know was that his opinion was about to change dramatically in the near future.
Cyril continued his lesson on the ancient medical text, “Classic of Herbal Medicine“. As he spoke, Wendy, still slumped on the desk, suddenly woke up. Her clear eyes fixed on him, and she raised her hand, signaling for him to
come over.
Cyril was stunned. What now?
He walked over to her.
Wendy looked up at him and pointed out, “You made a mistake earlier.”
What?
Cyril froze. He was considered a giant in the medical field–Wendy was the first to ever claim that he made a mistake.
Confident, Cyril rebutted, “That’s impossible!”
Wendy sat up straight in her chair. “Go back and check ‘Classic of Herbal Medicine‘, Volume 10, page 4008. You definitely made a mistake.”
