Chapter 361
Stanley frowned slightly, his handsome brow furrowing as he asked, “Who gave these to you?”
Wendy raised an eyebrow and replied, “My boyfriend!”
Boyfriend?
Stanley’s face instantly turned cold, the warmth vanishing as he remembered Wendy had
mentioned before that she already had a boyfriend. And now, this boyfriend seemed to have made his appearance.
“Is it that rich boyfriend of yours?”
“Yeah, it’s him.”
Stanley let out a sarcastic laugh. “Someone who can afford to buy you a luxury car and a
mansion must be quite the spender. The Hovendale circle is so small; I really can’t think of who your boyfriend could be.”
Wendy smirked. “Well, that’s your problem. I’m going home now.”
Wendy turned to leave.
But Stanley blocked her again. “You really should get a job. With your education, you should be focused on improving yourself, not pretending to have some rich boyfriend.”
He didn’t believe she had a good–looking, wealthy boyfriend.
Wendy didn’t feel the need to explain. Samuel had already arrived in Hovendale, and
Stanley would meet him soon enough.
She pushed Stanley away forcefully. “My life is none of your business.”
With that, Wendy walked inside.

As she shut the door in front of him, Stanley stood there, arms crossed, his face dark with frustration. He couldn’t shake the feeling that she was hiding something from him—there
was a secret she was keeping.
That feeling didn’t sit well with him.
The next day, Wendy and Samuel arrived at the mall’s boutique. Samuel grinned and said, “Go pick out something. It’s my treat.”
“You’re so generous. Thank you,” Wendy replied with a grin.
She began browsing the clothes.
Just then, Samuel’s phone rang, and he took it. “I’ll step outside to take this call.”
“Alright.”
Samuel stepped out to answer the phone.
Wendy continued to browse through the clothes, with a sales associate following her, eagerly suggesting, “Miss, you have such an elegant presence! This lace dress would look
perfect on you.”
Wendy was considering trying it on when a familiar voice rang out. “Wendy? What are you doing here again?”
Wendy turned around and saw a group of familiar faces.
Edith, Jessica, Trish, and Lilian had all arrived.
Jessica, completely shaking off the embarrassment of being kicked out last night, was now beaming with pride. She and Trish held Edith on either side while walking in with Lilian, their faces full of smugness as they laughed and chatted together.
“What are you here for? Buying clothes?” Jessica asked.

Wendy nodded. “Yes, I’m buying clothes.”
Trish grinned. “We have some amazing news. Want to hear it?”
Before Wendy could respond, Edith laughed. “Remember when we invested with Dr. Ceylan? The money we put in has multiplied tenfold! We’ve struck it rich!”
As she spoke, Edith glanced at Wendy.
“I remember you calling Dr. Ceylan a fraud back then. Seems like you’re just jealous. Sure, you’re a genius, but look at you now! You married Stanley, became a housewife, then got divorced and now do nothing with your life. You haven’t achieved anything. Honestly, you can’t compare to the golden girls of our family. Now, they’re out shopping with me. I’ve got it made with two granddaughters like them!”
Edith held Jessica and Trish’s hands, her face full of pride.
Mentioning Dr. Ceylan made Wendy chuckle. She raised her delicate eyebrows.
“Dr. Ceylan made your assets grow tenfold? That’s
impressive.”
