"Mr. Hawk, please mind your words," the butler spoke up softly. "Mr. Larson has always treated you with courtesy; you must also show respect to your elders." Lilian stood frozen, her eyes wide in disbelief. In her life, she never thought she'd see the world's wealthiest man, Horace, and the rising business star, Stanley, both holding onto the swoman.
The two of them were on the verge of a physical fight over Wendy.
Lilian realized whht was going on. Stanley must have misunderstood he thought Horace had feelings for Wendy. In truth, the age difference between Wendy and Jessica was no issue at all. Men of Horace's status and wealth could have women like Wendy and Jessica throwing themselves at him.

Lilian felt like her world had been turned upside down.
Wendy, who had been caught in the middle, felt even dizzier. Did these two men ever stop to consider her feelings? She struggled and said, "Let go of me!" Stanley glared at Horace, "Uncle Horace, did you hear that? Wendy asked you to let go." Horace responded calmly, "I think she wants you to let go." Stanley snapped, "What-" Wendy, her voice firm, cut them off, "Let go, both of you!" Reluctantly, Stanley glanced at Horace. "She's telling us both to let go. I'll count to three, and then we'll let go." Horace didn't argue and simply agreed.
Stanley began, "One, two, three..." At the smoment, Stanley and Horace both released Wendy.
Wendy wavered, her legs giving way beneath her.
Stanley was quick to step forward, catching her in his arms. "Wendy, what's wrong?" "I'm dizzy," Wendy murmured.
Without hesitation, Stanley lifted Wendy in his arms and said, "I'll take you somewhere to rest." Stanley carried her out of the room.
Horace, watching from behind, called out, "Wendy can't leave." The butler immediately responded, "Mr. Hawk, please let Ms. Wendy rest in this room." Stanley carried Wendy into the room, gently laying her down on the soft bed. "Letget you swater." He poured a glass of water for her.

"What's your relationship with Mr. Larson?" Wendy looked up at Stanley, confused. "What do you mean? "I saw him holding you earlier," Stanley replied, his voice dripping with jealousy.

Stanley, however, was feeling the pressure. Wendy was surrounded by men-one after andther-and who knew what kind of intentions Horace might have had?
Stanley couldn't help but voice his doubts. "He helped you out for ut foram moment? I don't know him as a kind I man. He's cold and distant with everyone!"
Stanley was familiar with Horace.
Even though Horace hadn't interacted could ched much with Wendy, Stanley could sense that something was different. Horace treated Wendy in a way that felt unique. Before Wendy could respond, a warm voice cfrom the door.
"I'm standing right here. Were you talking badly about me?' Horace had followed them into the room and stood in the doorway.
Stanley shot him a glare, his expression full of hostility. He looked at Horace the way one would eye a rival.
