Chapter 636
The Zenith Gala this time was a gathering of the elite, a place where the most powerful and
influential people would come together.
Jessica thrived in these high–society environments. She loved the spotlight, the wealth,
and the games of power. Of course, she wanted to go, and she wanted to go with Stanley.
Stanley refused. “I’m not taking you.”
“What…”
Jessica had anticipated this response–she was prepared for it. “The Larson family has
been invited to the Zenith Gala as well. My father doesn’t attend such events, so I want to go. Can I at least ride in your car?”
“No,” Stanley said firmly.
Jessica’s face stiffened for a moment.
Without sparing her another glance, Stanley turned and walked away.
Though Jessica was disappointed, she quickly composed herself. “Mrs. Hawk, since Stanley
doesn’t want to take me, I’ll have the driver drop me off.”
Angela nodded. “Alright. Once you’re at the Zenith Gala, you’ll still have the chance to be around Stanley. Go enjoy yourself.”
“Okay, thanks.”
Half an hour later, Jessica arrived at the Zenith Gala with Sienna.
Three years ago, Sienna had moved to the Capital. Now, she had broken up with Gilbert, who had given her an exorbitant amount. She was single again.
Today, she was tagging along with Jessica to the Gala. With so many powerful figures attending, all Sienna had to do was find a man to secure her future.

Sienna linked arms with Jessica. “This Zenith Gala is so extravagant!”
Jessica smiled. “Yes, I’ll take you in and show you what it’s all about.”

At that moment, a Rolls–Royce luxury sedan sped up to the entrance. Stanley, accompanied by Zayn, stepped out of the car.
Jessica smiled. “Stanley, you’re here!”
Stanley glanced at Jessica, his expression indifferent. Of course, it was no surprise to see her again–she always seemed to turn up wherever he was.
He had no intention of engaging with her, so he started walking toward the entrance.
But then, another luxury car arrived. The back door opened, and a graceful, stunning figure stepped out.
It was Wendy.
It was as if their hearts were in sync–Stanley turned, his eyes widening as he saw Wendy.
His pupils dilated in shock. “Wendy?!”
“Wendy? Where?”
Jessica and Sienna turned around as well.
Wendy was surrounded by several staff members the moment she stepped out of the car. They greeted her warmly. “Ms. Jolin, please follow us.”
The staff ushered Wendy away, so Stanley only saw her back as she quickly disappeared
from view.
Jessica and Sienna hadn’t seen anything.
“Wendy? Where’s Wendy?” Jessica asked, her confusion clear.
“I didn’t see her. She isn’t here,” Sienna replied. “Stanley, are you sure you’re not
mistaken?”

Stanley rushed outside, his eyes scanning the area. No, he wasn’t mistaken.
That had been Wendy.
After three long years, Wendy was back.
Stanley started running, chasing after her.
“Stanley!” Jessica stomped her foot in frustration.

Stanley didn’t slow down. Yet when he reached the spot where he had last seen Wendy, it was empty–she had already vanished into the crowd.
Stanley looked around frantically. “Wendy? Wendy!”
His voice echoed as he called her name.

Wendy, who had reached the second floor, paused in her tracks. She had heard Stanley’s voice calling for her. Standing by the ornate railing, she looked down, spotting Stanley below, desperately searching for her.
There he was, standing amidst the crowd, his eyes filled with anxious determination.
Wendy’s long, slender fingers trembled slightly.
Three years… It had been so long.
