The richest man in Hovendale, Stanley Hawk, had been in a vegetative state for three years. His wife, Wendy Crone, took care of him during that time. After he awakened, Wendy caught him cheating through a message on his phone. It turned out his first love had returned to the country. His friends, who once looked down on her, were now poking fun at her. “The swan has returned; it’s time to kick that ugly duckling to the curb.” It was then that Wendy realized Stanley never loved her. She was nothing but a joke to him. One night, Stanley received the divorce papers from Wendy. Her reason for wanting to get a divorce was due to his failing potency. Stanley went to confront her with a gloomy expression on his face, only to find that she had transformed into a gorgeous doctor in a long dress that glistened under the dazzling lights. Seeing him approach, Wendy smiled gracefully and asked, “Stanley, are you here for an andrology consultation?”

"If you have something to discuss, contact my secretary and make an appointment."With that, he hung up without another word.The line went dead with a loud, hollow beep.Wendy's heart sank, but for Cecelia, she had no choice but to approach Stanley. "Mr. Chapman, wait for my message," she said quietly.-Wendy arrived at the Imperial Garden, where the maid opened the door with a polite greeting. "Mrs. Hawk.""Is Stanley here? Please let him know I'm here to see him," Wendy said, keeping her voice steady."Of course. Please wait a moment."Wendy stood outside, waiting. It wasn't long before the maid returned. "Mr. Hawk is in the study, but he said he doesn't want to see you."He didn't want to see her.Wendy didn't move. "Then I'll wait here until he's ready to see me."Just then, a luxury MPV pulled up and Luna stepped out, her crystal heels clicking on the pavement.Luna glanced over at Wendy w
Wendy lifted her foot, ready to step forward.Just then, the sound of a phone ringing broke the tension. It was Leonard calling."Hello, Ms. Crone. There's been a problem at the police station. You need to come right away!"Wendy's heart sank. Had something bad happened to Cecelia?Without another thought, she turned and ran.-When Wendy arrived at the police station, Leonard quickly rushed to meet her. "Ms. Crone.""What's going on with Cecelia?" Wendy's voice was tight with concern.However, she was cut off as her eyes fell on a familiar figure. Luna was here.Luna, as always, was decked out in high-end brands, surrounded by her entourage. Today, she had even brought along two lawyers with her.Luna approached Wendy with a smirk, her lips curling in a mocking smile. "Wendy, I heard you came to bail Cecelia out. Well, forget about it! Your dear friend is going to spend the rest of her life there. She'll never get out."Leonard lowered his voice as he said to Wendy, "Ms. Cr
"Enough! Stop!" Wendy cut him off, her voice trembling with anger. She didn't want to hear anymore.Not a word more.Stanley sneered, his eyes hard with a cruel gleam. He wanted Wendy to listen—to make her remember that all of this, everything he was saying, was because she had pushed him away. She had turned him down, so he gave everything she didn't want to someone else—someone like Luna.He released her sharply, his voice cold as ice. "Fine. If you want a divorce, you'll get it. We'll go tomorrow. If it weren't for Grandma, I would've kicked you out of the Mrs. Hawk position a long time ago. There's a line of women waiting outside!"Wendy's heart ached, her fingers curling into delicate fists as she held back her tears. "Then I'll see you tomorrow at 9:00 AM, outside the clerk's office."Without another word, Wendy turned and left, not looking back.Stanley's gaze followed her retreating figure, his face cold and distant. Fine, he would get a divorce. He had already made
Stanley's face turned cold in an instant. He had never forgotten about her taking the morning-after pill for Nathan. The lack of contact between them these past few weeks was his way of slowly distancing himself. But today, she came back to the family estate for dinner. He thought she was softening, maybe even trying to make amends. And yet, what was she saying?She said she wanted a divorce, and that she couldn't wait another day.Did she think he had the patience to deal with her?Stanley's eyes sharpened, cold as knives, as he grabbed her slender arm. "Wendy, you came back tonight just to make me miserable, didn't you?"Wendy immediately jerked away from his grip. "Don't touch me with your filthy hands!"What did she say?She tilted her face up, meeting his dark, threatening gaze, her voice cold and steady as she enunciated, "Stanley, you are absolutely disgusting."Disgusting in a way she couldn't stand anymore.Stanley's temples pulsed with veins. His grip tightened ar
Stanley glanced at Luna beside him. "Get out."He ordered her to leave the car.And just like that, he dropped her off in the middle of the road.Luna got out, and the business car sped off with a whoosh, leaving her surrounded by exhaust fumes.Luna clenched her fists and stomped her foot in frustration....Wendy had already arrived at the Hawk family's estate, sitting on the living room sofa and chatting with Glinda.Not long after, the large estate doors opened. A chill breeze followed a tall, dignified figure inside—Stanley had returned.The housekeeper greeted him respectfully. "Mr. Hawk."Stanley took off his shoes at the entrance and strode into the living room, his long legs carrying him effortlessly. When he saw Wendy, their eyes met.It had been a while since they last saw each other, not since that day in the school infirmary. Wendy had lost some weight and appeared more delicate. Her once-perfectly round face now had a sharper, cooler air about it.She was still
Wendy withdrew her gaze and shook her head. "Halsey, I'm fine." She pulled out her phone and dialed the Hawk family's estate. Glinda's voice came through, full of cheer. "Wendy, you finally decided to call! I've missed you so much!" Wendy looked out the window at the sleek, business-class car approaching. "Grandma, I don't have class tonight. I can come back to the family estate for dinner." "That's wonderful! Stanley's coming back tonight too. I'll be waiting for you." "Okay." After ending the call, Wendy turned to Halsey and said, "Halsey, I need to go back to the Hawks.""Alright. Go have dinner with Mrs. Glinda," Halsey replied. Wendy met his gaze. "No, I'm going to find out who's backing Luna." "What?" Halsey blinked, clearly taken aback. -The long Rolls-Royce glided steadily down the road. Zayn drove up front while Luna sat in the back, glancing at the man beside her. Stanley wore a tailored black suit, a handkerchief tucked into his pocket. He
Wendy had already tested the water's temperature. It was lukewarm, not hot at all.Her sharp, clear eyes locked onto Luna's face. "You intentionally framed Cecelia. It wasn't about her at all, was it? It's me you've got an issue with."Luna shrugged nonchalantly, a sly smile spreading across her lips. "Yeah, it is."Halsey was fuming. "Luna, have you lost your mind? Wendy has always considered you a friend. Don't you remember who rushed to save you when Mr. Silva took you away from Gold Vista Hotel? Now that you're a big star, you've forgotten all about that and turned your back on everyone? You're just repaying kindness with malice! What happened to your conscience?"Luna didn't show the slightest bit of guilt. Instead, she coldly chuckled. "Finally, you're saying what's really on your mind. You're just jealous of me. You're jealous because I found a rich boyfriend. You're jealous because I became a big star!"Jealous?Halsey was speechless. "If you're so proud, why don't you ju
Cecelia had been taken to the police station?Wendy's face turned pale as she hung up the phone. She turned to Halsey. "Halsey, I need to go to the police station!""I'll go with you," Halsey replied, already following her.-At the police station, Wendy and Halsey found Cecelia locked in a holding cell. Wendy grasped Cecelia's cold hands. "Cecelia, what happened? Why are you here?"Cecelia's face was pale, and she looked utterly confused. "Wendy, this is all connected to that celebrity, Luna Fisher."Cecelia explained what had happened. "Luna went to Ella Magazine for a photoshoot. They needed her to do a stunt with a wire, but someone had cut the wire in advance. Luna fell, and she pointed at me, saying she saw me cut the wire. The police arrested me right away. Please, Wendy, you have to believe me! I didn't do it! I didn't cut the wire. I have no reason to harm her!" Cecelia's voice was frantic. Luna had falsely accused her, making it look like she had tried to kill her.
Luna immediately stopped in her tracks. "Wendy, Halsey, what a coincidence! You're both here, too."Wendy and Halsey took a step closer to Luna, but her bodyguards in black blocked their way."Stop right there!" one of the bodyguards ordered.Luna waved her hand dismissively, smiling. "It's fine. They're my classmates."The bodyguards stepped aside, and Wendy and Halsey finally made their way to Luna."Luna, I can't believe you've become a star!" Halsey exclaimed, looking at her in surprise.Luna raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, I got myself a boyfriend. He's the one who helped me become a big star.""A boyfriend? Luna, you're dating someone? I've never heard about this boyfriend before," Halsey replied, clearly surprised.Luna flashed a sweet smile. "My boyfriend is handsome and rich, and he spoils me. He loves me a lot."With that, Luna took a step forward and grabbed Wendy's hand. "Wendy, things are going so well for me now. You must be happy for me, right? You must wish me and my
One day, Wendy discovered that her husband Stanley was having an affair.He had been seeing a college student.It was Stanley's birthday. Wendy had prepared a table full of dishes early in the day. Just then, she heard a notification from his phone.Ding!He had left his phone at home. Wendy switched it on and saw a text from the college student.[I hurt myself when I was carrying the cake. It hurts so much.]Attached was a selfie—not of the sender's face, but of her legs. The girl in the photo wore pulled-up white socks, black leather shoes, and a blue-and-white skirt that had been pushed up to reveal her long, slender legs. Her pale knees were visibly reddened from the bump. The youthful, vibrant image of her body paired with coquettish words exuded a forbidden allure.People often say successful businessmen like Stanley favored this type of woman when choosing mistresses.Wendy clutched the phone tightly, her fingers turning white from the pressure.Ding!Another text ca...
