Realizing Benny was still on her side eased Jessica''s nerves just a bit.


    After the press conference ended, Stanley returned to his luxurious Rolls-Royce. His voice was low and smooth as he addressed Zayn, who sat in the front seat. "Tell the media team I don''t want any details about Wendy leaking out."


    Zayn responded in a quiet tone, "Don''t worry, Mr. Hawk. Some of the female reporters deleted all the photos and videos of Mrs. Hawk right on the spot. They won''t be reporting on her."


    Stanley''s lips curved into a faint smile. "She really knows how to manipte people."


    Zayn replied with sincerity, "Mrs. Hawk is truly brave."


    Stanley raised an eyebrow. Yes, she really was brave.


    He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.


    "Hello, Uncle Cyril."


    Stanley''s uncle was the dean of vendale University, one of the top institutions in the country, and a manpletely obsessed with medicine. He was known and respected everywhere.


    Cyril''s voice came through the phone. "Stanley, what a surprise! What made you think of calling me?"


    "I need a favor, Uncle Cyril."


    "Go ahead. I''m curious about anything that makes you contact me personally."


    "I''d like to send a woman to study at your school."


    "A woman? Who?"


    "Her name is Wendy. I''d like you to arrange for her to join the medical program."


    "Wendy? Isn''t that your wife? Well, since you personally requested, tell her toe to vendale University tomorrow to enroll. I''ll meet her in person and see what she''s like."


    Stanley ended the call. Zayn, clearly surprised, asked, "Mr. Hawk, you''re sending Mrs. Hawk to vendale University?"


    Stanley looked out the window as the scenery passed by. "Wendy has a bit of cleverness about her, but she''s hardly refined She stopped studying when she was 16. Of course, now I understand why. It must have been hard to get a proper education since she had a scumbag for a foster dad. So now, I''m sending her to vendale University. She seems to have some interest in medicine, so I''m giving her a chance to study."


    Zayn''s eyes lit up. "Mr. Hawk, you really think ahead."


    "I don''t expect her to shine on a stage like Jessica, to be the center of attention. I just hope she can better herself, get an education; and find a stable job. Anything is better than..."


    Better than staying aimlessly stuck, looking for a man to waste time with.


    Zayn smiled. "You''re absolutely right, Mr. Hawk. I''m sure Mrs. Hawk will do her best and make you proud."


    Stanley gazed out the window. He hoped so as well. He simply wished she wouldn''t cause trouble.

    Harry raised his ss. "Mr. Walton, Mr. Fuller, Mr. Zander hope I can count on your guidance in the business world from now on."


    The three men raised their sses in return. "Mr. Crone, you''re too modest. Everyone knows your precious daughter is in a rtionship with Mr. Hawk. I''d say it won''t be long before you''re Mr. Hawk''s father-inw." The reason the three men were so willing to entertain Harry was entirely because of Stanley. Over the years, Stanley had led the Crone family to great heights, and their sess was undeniable.


    Harryughed, pleased at the mention. He knew the press conference was ongoing, and soon enough, he''d be getting a phone call from Lilian. When that happened, he''d officially be Stanley''s future father-inw.
