Chapter 53
The crowd gasped as the atmosphere once again reached its peak.
“The question’everyone’s been waiting for–who’s the lucky lady from Hovendale who’ll win Nathan’s heart? It’s time to reveal the answer!”
Nathan stood up and, without hesitation, walked over to Wendy, clearly choosing her.
Both Jessica and Trish’s expressions changed at once.
Stanley, holding a cocktail, didn’t show much emotion, his face as cold and unapproachable
as ever.
Cecelia, however, couldn’t hide her excitement. She exaggerated her surprise. “Wow, could it be that Nathan has fallen for Wendy?”
Wendy looked up at Nathan. She had just finished dealing with Stanley and had no plans to start a new romance. She didn’t want to give Nathan any false hopes.
At that moment, Nathan leaned down, his handsome face coming closer to hers.
Wendy stuttered, “N–Nathan, I-”
Nathan winked, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. “Wendy, I need you to help me out a
little.”
Wendy was taken aback.
“We’re playing a game here,” he continued. “You wouldn’t want me to take the punishment, would you? Come on, for the sake of that rub cream, just cooperate with me.”
Wendy, realizing she couldn’t back out, sighed. “Can I give you the cream back instead?”
Cecelia cheered them on from the side. “Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!”
Nathan gently cupped Wendy’s small face with his hands, drawing closer.
Closer…
So close…
Almost there…
Stanley watched the pair, his fingers tightening around his cocktail glass, causing the joints to turn white with the pressure.
Wow.

The crowd erupted into cheers as Nathan and Wendy actually kissed.
They kissed!
Jessica was livid, pulling at Stanley’s sleeve. “Stanley, look! Wendy actually got Nathan to fall for her!”
Stanley’s cold eyes narrowed as he observed the scene.
Nathan was still holding Wendy’s face, kissing her gently as the crowd cheered. Wendy quickly turned her face away to end the kiss, her cheeks flushed red as she buried her face in Nathan’s arm.
Nathan looked down at her, his gaze soft. Wendy, shy and bashful, peeked up at him with a look full of affection.
Stanley’s eyes burned with jealousy. How dare she look so soft, so sweet when Nathan kissed her? He had thought only he could evoke that kind of response from her, but it seemed Nathan could get that same reaction.
Had she really stopped loving him?
The rich heirs cheered raucously.
“Nathan, you promised a three–minute kiss! That’s just one minute!”
“Keep going, keep going! We want to see more!”
Nathan glanced at Wendy with a soft gaze and said, “Wendy’s a bit shy. Don’t scare her.”
Then, he picked up the bottle. “I’ll take the punishment.”
He started drinking.
The crowd went wild, egging Nathan and Wendy on.
Meanwhile, Jessica and Trish could only watch in disbelief as Wendy became the center of attention tonight. While they had been fighting for Stanley, Wendy had effortlessly captured Nathan’s attention. How had she done it?
Jessica was about to complain to Stanley when his cocktail glass suddenly broke in his hand, creating a loud noise.
He had crushed the glass with his bare hand.
The shards of glass cut into his palm. Blood began to drip from his hand in slow, steady drops.

Jessica gasped. “Stanley! Your hand! Let me get a doctor to help you!”
But no one was paying attention to Stanley; they were still caught up in the chaos.
Stanley ignored Jessica. Without a word, he stood up and walked away.
