“Not only that, but it seems the high–level managers of this Summit Academic Forum were the ones who welcomed Wendy just now,” Edith said in surprise.
Lilian, equally shocked, exchanged glances with her.
Sienna then spoke up, her tone dismissive, “Wendy dropped out of school at sixteen. She’s always up to something shady. We shouldn’t let her intimidate us.”
“Exactly!” Jessica chimed in, agreeing. “Wendy must be pulling some sort of trick. We should call her out. Grandma, Mom, let’s go inside and see what she’s really up to!”
Edith let out a cold snort. “Good thing I foresaw this and cut ties with her in advance.
Whatever mess she causes inside won’t be our problem.”
Stanley entered the main hall, scanning the area. He looked around, but couldn’t spot
Wendy anywhere.
He had rushed in earlier, trying to follow her, but he had still lost her. Where could she have gone?
He turned to one of the staff members nearby. “Who uses the VIP entrance?”
The staff member responded respectfully, “Mr. Hawk, the VIP entrance is reserved for the
top students of prestigious universities attending the Summit Academic Forum.”
Top students of prestigious universities? So why did Wendy use the VIP entrance earlier?
“Mr. Hawk, your seat is here. Please follow me.”
Stanley followed the staff member to the front row of the center section. This was the prime spot, the most prestigious seat in the entire venue.
He noticed that the seat next to him was empty.

Stanley glanced at the vacant spot beside him. “Is this seat reserved for the genius freshman?”
“Yes, Mr. Hawk.”
“She still hasn’t arrived?”
“I’m not sure.”
With a wave of his hand, Stanley dismissed the staff member.

He lowered his gaze to the steel watch on his wrist. The Summit Academic Forum was about to start, but his aloof and brilliant junior still hadn’t shown up.)
Meanwhile, Edith, Jessica, Trish, and Sienna were seated in the right section. They were all craning their necks to look at the empty seat beside Stanley.
“That empty seat next to Mr. Hawk must be for that genius freshman, right?”
“Of course. Today, all eyes are on the pairing of Mr. Hawk and the prodigy. Everyone is eagerly awaiting their first appearance together.”
“Where is this genius freshman? Why hasn’t she arrived yet?”
“I can’t wait to see her!”
As everyone kept eyeing the empty seat beside Stanley, Jessica couldn’t hide her jealousy. “She really knows how to keep things mysterious.”
Benny, seated behind Stanley, was nervous and excited. Holding a bouquet of red roses, he whispered, “Stanley, where’s my dream girl? Could you text her or something? Everyone’s
waiting.”
Stanley pulled out his phone and opened the WhatsApp group. He tagged W, asking, [Still not here?]
Ding!

A reply came from W. [I’m here.]
She said she had arrived, but no one had seen her yet.

Stanley stared at the letter “W” on his screen and asked again, [What does W stand for?]
W replied, [It’s my name.]
Her name?
W?
Suddenly, Stanley’s mind raced. The letter “W” could only mean one thing–Wendy!
It hit him all at once. Could his genius freshman really be Wendy?
No way.
He quickly dismissed the thought. Wendy had dropped out of school at sixteen. How could she possibly be the brilliant freshman he had been waiting for?
Just then, the host stepped onto the stage.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Summit Academic Forum! Let the event officially begin.”
