Wendy turned her gaze toward Stanley. "My boyfriend is no less impressive than Mr.


    Hawk."


    As she said this, her eyes sparkled with a glow that made it seem like she was genuinely dating someone extraordinary. Stanley''s handsome brows furrowed, his expression darkening slightly.


    "Hahaha!"


    The Crone family, however, wasn''t buying it.


    Edith scoffed. "Wendy, don''t make such grand ims. I don''t believe for a second


    that you


    have a boyfriend like that!"


    Lilian added, "Wendy, stop embarrassing yourself."


    Wendy raised a single delicate eyebrow. She thought of the text sitting in her phone, the


    one from Samuel.


    [I''ll be in Hovendale in two days.]


    Her third senior wasing-she hadn''t been lying to anyone.


    "I have something to do, so I''ll be leaving now."


    With that, Wendy turned on her heel and walked away.


    The others exploded in disbelief. "Wendy is such a liar-she made up a handsome, rich boyfriend just to fool us!"


    "She should look in the mirror. Rich men aren''t fools; they wouldn''t go for her!"


    Jessica, still clinging to Stanley,ughed mockingly. "Stanley, looks like our divorce really hit Wendy hard. She''s dreaming of finding a rich man like you so much!"

    Stanley''s gaze lingered on the direction Wendy had left, his eyes dark and unreadable.


    Wendy left the Crone family''s estate and headed for the girls'' dorm, standing on the street


    corner to hail a cab.


    However, taxis were few and far between in this area, and she had already been waiting for


    a while.


    Suddenly, the sound of a car horn broke the silence. Wendy turned around and saw a Rolls-


    Royce Phantom cruising toward her.


    It was Stanley''s car.


    His car had arrived.


    The luxury vehicle came to a stop, and the driver''s window slowly rolled down, revealing Stanley''s handsome face. He looked at her and asked, "Trying to get a cab?"


    Wendy nodded. "Yeah."


    "This isn''t a good spot for a taxi. Get in. I''ll give you a ride."


    He was offering to drive her?


    Wendy hesitated. She didn''t want to get in the car, but it was alreadyte, and who knew how long she''d have to wait for a cab? So, reluctantly, she gave in. "Thanks, Mr. Hawk."


    She walked around to the back seat and reached for the door.


    But just as her hand touched the handle, the car made a beeping sound, and the central locking system clicked. Stanley had locked the doors.


    Wendy froze, looking up at him in shock.


    Stanley''s strong hand rested elegantly on the steering wheel. He sat high in the car, his gaze cool and teasing as he looked down at her. "Where''s that handsome, rich boyfriend of yours? Why isn''t he here to pick you up?"


    Wendy was dumbfounded.

    Now she understood. He hadn''t actually nned on letting her into the car; he was just messing with her.


    Stanley''s lips curled into an amused smirk. His eyes scanned Wendy from head to toe with a mature, mocking air. "You talk about having a great boyfriend, acting all impressive. Little liar, you''re really good at spinning tales."


    He called her a little liar, saying she was spinning tales!


    Wendy''s small face instantly turned bright red, a mixture of embarrassment and fury. She balled her fists, her voice trembling with anger. "You little..."


    Before she could say anything more, Stanley pressed the elerator, and the luxury car sped off with a roar as Wendy watched on.


    This man was so mean! He was absolutely infuriating!


    Stanley nced at the rearview mirror, catching a glimpse of Wendy. The girl was fuming, stomping her feet in frustration.


    He couldn''t help but grin, the good mood evident as he let out a low chuckle.


    Wendy cursed under her breath.


    Stanley, just you wait!
