NovelEnglishMy Dad Please C99 Chapter 99 Stanley furrowed his handsbrow, lifting his gaze from the papers to look at Zayn. "Where did he go?" "George ran to the Crone family estate," Zayn replied. "And Mr. Gondale has already invited thirty-six media outlets from Hovendale to hold a press conference. They're planning to accuse Mrs. Hawk of abusing and abandoning her adoptive father." Stanley pressed his lips together, his irritation growing. What was Benny thinking? "What are you all doing? You incapacitated George, and he managed to escape?" Seeing his boss get angry, Zayn was drenched in cold sweat. "Mr. Hawk, it's-" "It's my orders," Wendy suddenly interrupted in a clear voice.
Stanley turned to look at her. "Your orders?" Wendy nodded. "Yes, I told Zayn to let George go on purpose." Stanley's dark gaze deepened. "Why would you do that? They're planning to hold a press conference. That scumbag is trying to stick to you for life! I'll send my men to the Crones estate to bring George back, and the press conference will be canceled. Everything will go back to normal, as if nothing ever happened. No one will ever know what you don't want them to." Wendy knew that with his power and influence, Stanley could easily erase everything.

He was protecting her from the wounds in her heart that were too painful to reveal, sparing her from the judgment and whispers of others, shielding her from further harm.
Wendy interrupted him. "Mr. Hawk, there's no need for you to do anything. I'll handle this from here." Handle it herself? How would she handle it? Stanley was skeptical. "Wendy, what are you-" "Mr. Hawk," Wendy cut in with a playful smile, her lips curving up as she winked at him. "You've already helpedonce. There's no need to helpagain. I'd hate to feel like I owe you more." The atmosphere shifted at her words. Wendy was reminded of how she had repaid him last night.
Stanley, too, thought about her "repayment" from the night before. He shifted his gaze back to the papers, his tone cold and indifferent as he said, "Do as you wish." Wendy watched him, noting how he had returned to his usual distant, stoic self ever since they left that inn. The night before was something only the two of them knew.
Just then, a familiar voice echoed in the room. "Stanley, what's going on with that press conference? Why is everyone saying that Wendy..."" Nathan had arrived.
The moment Nathan spotted Wendy, his face lit up with surprise. "Wendy, what are you doing here?" Wendy smiled and sat down on the sofa. "Nathan, what's everyone saying about me?" Nathan took a seat next to her. "They're saying you're materialistic, that you've abandoned your adoptive father 1/2 Chapter 99 and even mistreated him. They're accusing you of rejecting your father because he's from the countryside." "Nathan, do you believe that?" Nathan shook his head, laughing. "If you were so materialistic, you would've been all over me. But you haven't even agreed to my advances." He, after all, was very wealthy.

Stanley, sitting in his office chair, wore a dark expression. So, this is what they were doing-flirting right in front of him? "Wendy, where were you last night?" Nathan suddenly asked.
