NovelEnglishMy Dad Please C168 Chapter 168 He had left.
But Wendy wasn't thinking about his departure. What bothered her more was what he had done-how could he just toss that ruby necklace into the trash like it was nothing? That ruby was worth over a million! Even though he was rich, he shouldn't just throw away something so expensive! Without wasting a second, Wendy rushed to the trash can, reaching in to grab the precious bag. Fortunately, it wasn't dirty or damaged-how tragic it would have been if it had been ruined! Back in the dorm, Wendy sat at her vanity and opened the ornate box. The ruby and diamond necklace inside shimmered brilliantly under the light, stunning her with its breathtaking beauty.
Stanley had always had impeccable taste. After all, he was born into a family of privilege, a high-born heir with a refined sense of style. Anything he chose would undoubtedly be exceptional.
Though Wendy was wealthy herself, she rarely indulged in things like this. This was also the first tStanley had given her a gift.

Her skin was fair and smooth, with a neck as graceful as a swan's, and below it, delicate collarbones. The ruby shimmered against her skin, making her look both ethereal and glamorous.
Wendy snapped a quick photo of herself with her phone, sending it to her best friend, Cecelia.
Cecelia responded with an excited squeal. [Ahh, it's so beautiful! I love it, I love it!] Wendy texted her back on WhatsApp. [It's from Mr. Hawk.] Cecelia's playful tone disappeared. [That jerk? Wendy, you must've pleasured him well, huh? He just gave you a ruby necklace as a reward.] Wendy's fair cheeks flushed with a hint of pink. Deep down, she already knew-it was indeed a reward.
He knew how to spoil his woman, how to be tender. Wendy asked, [Should I throw it back in the trash?] Cecelia replied, [You sure you want to part with it?] Wendy wrote back, [Not really.] This ruby necklace was way too expensive! [Then keep it.] [Keep it?] [The question is, do you like it?) Wendy glanced at herself in the mirror. The ruby necklace really did suit her. [I do.] Cecelia put her foot down. [Then keep it. You're Mrs. Hawk. Why would you turn down a ruby necklace from him?] Wendy relented. [Fine. He thinks the ruby necklace is in the trash, so he won't know I picked it up and put it on.] Chapter 168 Wendy was about to put her phone down when it slipped out of her hand and almost hit the floor. She scrambled to catch it, but in the process, the phone made a sharp snapping sound. She had accidentally taken a screenshot, and worse yet, she mistakenly sent it to someone.
Who did she send it to? "Hubby"? She had just sent a screenshot of her conversation with Cecelia to Stanley! Bloody hell! Wendy immediately retracted the message. "It's fine, it's fine, he won't see it!" she consoled herself.
Back at Hawk Group, Stanley had returned to his office, sitting in the chair with his lips pressed together in frustration.
During his business trip abroad, he had seen the ruby in a magazine and immediately thought it would be perfect for Wendy. So, he had Zayn order it right away.
As soon as his plane landed, he personally delivered it to her.
But she had actually rejected it, telling him not to bother her again.

She had retracted it.
Stanley's lips curled into a faint, almost amused smile He dicked on ve ap emoji and sent it back to her.
On the other side, Wendy was still trying to convince herself that hen hadn't seen it. After all, the busy CEO couldn't possibly check his Whatright away. She could just pretend nothing had happened.
