Chapter 638
Stanley looked at Wendy and said, “Let me take you inside.”
He was eager to escort Wendy to the Zenith Gala.
Wendy’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Thanks, but I can get in on my own.”
“You can get in?” Jessica scoffed. “Stop lying! This event is for the wealthy elite. What makes you think you can enter?”
Both Jessica and Sienna were skeptical that Wendy could gain entry, and honestly, Stanley wasn’t sure either. Even so, he had the means to bring her in.
Wendy reached into her bag and pulled out an invitation. “Here’s my invitation.”
Wendy had an invitation?
Jessica and Sienna stood frozen, stunned. “How did you get an invitation? Did you make it onto the Forbes Rich List?”
Sienna quickly shot down the idea. “No way! I’ve never seen your name on the Forbes list. Besides, there are only a few women on that list. The biggest buzz around this Zenith Gala is about Jolin, the female tycoon from the pharmaceutical industry. I haven’t heard a thing about you.”
Sienna’s doubts weren’t without merit. After all, Wendy’s name wasn’t on the rich list.
Wendy’s expression didn’t change. She merely smiled faintly. “So, you know Jolin will be attending this Zenith Gala, too.”
“Of course we do,” Jessica responded, still looking down on Wendy. “Jolin is the biggest female tycoon in the medical group. Since you’re the wonder doctor, you must know her. I bet you work for her, don’t you?”
Wendy’s assistant couldn’t hold back any longer, and rolled her eyes at Jessica and Sienna a few times. “You lot-”

Before the assistant could say more, Wendy gently stopped her with a wave.

There was no need to argue right now. It would be more satisfying to let them be proven
wrong soon enough.
Stanley looked at Wendy, his gaze sincere. “Jolin will be at the Zenith Gala. Come with me. I have a lot I want to talk to you about.”
Wendy politely declined. “I appreciate the offer, but I’ll be attending the Zenith Gala on my own. I’ll see you inside.”
With that, she turned and walked away.
“Wait, Wendy!” Stanley called after her.

Jessica and Sienna moved forward, and Jessica said, “I’m curious to see what kind of game Wendy’s playing.”
Sienna added, “This is the Zenith Gala, full of high society. If Wendy dares to cause trouble,
they’ll throw her out for sure!”
Jessica glanced at Stanley. “Don’t waste your time with her, Stanley. She’s not worth it. Let’s go and enjoy the Zenith Gala.”
Stanley didn’t even acknowledge Jessica. He walked straight in, Zayn following closely
behind him.
Jessica’s face darkened, irritated by being ignored.
Sienna tried to comfort her. “Come on, Jessica. Let’s just go in. You’re the daughter of the richest man now. You can easily overshadow Wendy. Since she insists on attending, it’ll give you the perfect chance to humiliate her.”
Jessica’s eyes lit up. Of course! She was now the daughter of the wealthiest family in the city. If Wendy wanted to attend the Gala, it would only serve to embarrass herself.
If Wendy wanted to be humiliated, then Jessica would happily oblige.

“Alright.”

The Zenith Gala was truly a gathering of the city’s elite. The guests were all figures who appeared on business news and finance magazines. Stanley, dressed in a hand–tailored black suit, stood under the dazzling lights. He was engaged in quiet conversation with a few prominent CEOS.
