Chapter 172

Author: Glazed Snow
Nathan chuckled. "So, the 'help' Wendy was talking about was Jessica."

Stanley raised an eyebrow. "Help?"

"Well, earlier, you and Wendy were neck and neck," Nathan continued, "Wendy said that Jessica has a weak heart, and even if you're the best driver, Jessica can't stand the speed, and she's bound to help Wendy out."

Did she really say that?

Stanley's gaze shifted toward Wendy's retreating figure, and a faint smile tugged at his lips.

Nathan nudged him with his shoulder. "She's interesting, isn't she?"

Stanley raised an eyebrow, but didn't answer.

Meanwhile, Jessica stood there, completely ignored, feeling like she was invisible.

Wendy and Nathan entered the Presidential Suite with a breathtaking view of the sea, while Jessica and Stanley headed to the Executive Suite.

Cecelia and Sienna had also arrived, eager to visit the famous hot springs at the resort later that evening.

Cecelia grabbed Wendy's arm. "Wendy, let's go buy some bikinis!"

They arrived at the bikin

    First, it was a race; now, it was a battle of wealth.When it came to money, Stanley, the richest man in Hovendale, clearly wasn't someone who could lose. Jessica flashed him a coy smile, her pretty face glowing as she pleaded with him to buy the bikini.Stanley glanced at Jessica, then shifted his gaze to Wendy. Wendy was looking at him with her clear, bright eyes. Jessica clung to his arm, pouting and sweetly begging, "Stanley, please buy it for me. I really want it!"Stanley turned to the shopkeeper. "I'll pay you double what it's worth."He offered to double the price to buy the bikini for Jessica.Jessica lifted her chin proudly, like a peacock flaunting her feathers, casting a smug look at Wendy as if to say, "Look, Stanley bought it for me."Nathan quickly chimed in. "Stanley, you're really killing the fun here. Sir, I'll pay three times the price."Nathan was willing to pay three times the price to buy it for Wendy.Wendy glanced at Nathan, shaking her head. "Nath

    Jessica stepped into the hot spring pool and walked over to Stanley's side. "Stanley, do you think I look good?"Stanley looked at her, but before he could answer, Cecelia pulled Wendy into the pool.Cecelia hopped into the water. "Wendy, come on, get in!"Stanley looked up at Wendy. She had changed into her bikini, but she looked uncomfortable. She had wrapped a towel around herself, trying to cover up.Jessica immediately sneered, "Wendy, why are you wearing a towel? Are you not confident in your body?"Sienna watched with amusement, clearly enjoying the scene."Come on, Wendy. Everyone's waiting for you to take off the towel!" Cecelia grinned and yanked the towel off Wendy."Ah!" Wendy gasped in surprise, her body suddenly exposed to everyone's gaze.Wendy was wearing a magenta bikini. Her skin was naturally fair, in a way different from Jessica's—Jessica's was the result of expensive treatments, but Wendy's skin was like that of a delicate tulip, soft and pure. Her body was

    Wendy found herself puzzled. Why was Stanley looking at her like that? Jessica was right there beside him, so why wasn't he looking at her? Lately, it felt like Stanley had been watching her more than usual. Nathan looked at Wendy. "Wendy, let's go to that hot spring over there." Cecelia covered her mouth, trying to hide her laugh. "Nathan wants to be alone with you, Wendy. Go on, then." As she spoke, Cecelia shot Stanley a glance. Noticing his gloomy expression, she felt elated for some reason.Wendy followed Nathan as they walked to a different hot spring. They chatted for a while, but before long, Nathan's phone rang. He excused himself to take the call."Wendy, I'll be right back. I just need to take this.""Alright," she replied.Nathan walked off to answer his phone, and Wendy lingered in the water for a bit. She noticed a vendor selling ice cream and, unable to resist the temptation, went over to buy some. However, when she reached the vendor, he had already left.

    Lionel had arrived with his men.Stanley recognized Lionel. He was a tough, dangerous guy, the second-in-command in a notorious gang. He was known for being ruthless, with the blood of many on his hands. Lionel had come to the resort with his boss's wife, and Wendy had just happened to walk in on them.There was no way Lionel would let Wendy leave this place alive.In the criminal underworld, there were rules. The worlds of law and crime didn't mix, and Stanley didn't want things to escalate here.At that moment, Lionel and his bodyguards approached. "It's them, Lionel!" one of the men called out.Stanley glanced down at Wendy and kissed her hard on the lips.Wendy had already heard Lionel's voice approaching. Before she could react, Stanley's kiss crashed down on her. It was aggressive, forceful, almost as if he was taking his frustration out on her. He kissed her like he was devouring her.Wendy pressed her hands against his chest, trying to push him away, but Stanley's voic

    Stanley's tall, solid frame trapped Wendy against the rock. In this secluded place, he was offering to buy her something, and for some reason, Wendy couldn't shake the feeling that they were sneaking around, like she was his secret mistress.In reality, she was his legitimate wife."I don't want clothes," she said, trying to push him away.Stanley's gaze softened, and he pulled out an ice cream cone. "How about some ice cream?"Wendy blinked in surprise. Stanley was holding a strawberry-flavored ice cream cone."When did you buy this?" she asked, still in a bit of disbelief."Just now," Stanley answered casually. He had been following her since he saw her chasing after the ice cream vendor earlier.Wendy lowered her gaze, not expecting Stanley to buy her the treat.Stanley held the ice cream close to her lips. "Take a bite." Wendy looked up at him with her clear eyes. "I don't want to."In truth, she did want to. Her eyes had lit up when she had spotted the ice cream cart ea

    Wendy glanced at Stanley while holding the strawberry ice cream.Stanley stood tall with his long legs, watching her quietly, as if waiting to see how she would respond."Who said someone bought this ice cream for me? I bought it myself." Wendy offered a small fib.Jessica and Sienna seemed doubtful, exchanging skeptical glances.Stanley watched her, a small smirk tugging at his lips. She was such a liar.Wendy didn't want to engage in this game any longer. She turned to Nathan and said, "Nathan, I don't feel like staying in the hot spring anymore. Let's go back to the room."Nathan nodded. "Okay."Nathan took Wendy's hand, and they began to leave.Sienna sneered, "Wendy is definitely lying. I'm sure a man bought her that ice cream. And now she's rushing back with Nathan, probably hoping to sleep with him."Jessica linked her arm through Stanley's strong one, leaning in. "Stanley, Wendy is Nathan's girlfriend now. They're staying in the same room tonight. Do you think they'll

    Stanley and Jessica returned to the Executive Oceanic Suite. Stanley stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the night.Just then, a soft body wrapped around him from behind. Two delicate white hands rested on his firm chest, moving suggestively.It was Jessica.Stanley turned around to face her and looked down, his expression curious. "What's going on?"Jessica gazed up at his handsome face, her admiration unmistakable. Being alone in a room with him at night, with the air thick with tension, was enough to stir something deeper.With a coy smile, she asked, "Stanley, have you ever been with a woman?""Why do you ask?" Stanley replied, his tone neutral.Jessica knew that the only woman in Stanley's life had always been her. After Stanley fell into a coma for three years, Wendy came into his life, but Jessica was sure that nothing intimate had happened between them. Still, Stanley was young, full of life, and in the prime of his desires. Could he really have no ne

    What order?Wendy closed the door behind her and stared down at the bed. There were condoms and lingerie scattered across the sheets.She froze. She hadn't ordered these things!Could it be a mistake by the room service?Just then, Nathan came out of the bathroom, his hair still damp. He paused when he saw the items. "Wendy, what's this?"Wendy immediately realized that Nathan hadn't ordered them either. So how did these things end up here?Ding-dong!The doorbell rang again."I'll get it," Nathan said, heading toward the door.When he opened it, Stanley and Jessica stood in the doorway.Wendy's long eyelashes fluttered. Weren't they staying in the Executive Suite next door?"Stanley, what are you doing here?" Nathan asked in surprise.Stanley's voice was deep and smooth. "Our room's security system malfunctioned, and we need to have it tested. So, we'll be staying here with you tonight."Wendy froze. So, Stanley and Jessica were going to stay with them tonight?

    Jessica told Stanley she wanted Wendy's dress.Her damned competitive nature wouldn't let her accept being outshone by Wendy. She had to have that dress. She couldn't let Wendy steal her spotlight!This wasn't the first time, either. Back when they were at the hot springs, Jessica had bought the bikini Wendy wanted.Stanley stared at Wendy.At that moment, Samuel reached for Wendy's soft waist and pulled her closer. With a smirk, he said, "Mr. Hawk, there's a certain order to things—rules, you know? Isn't that how it works?"Stanley's eyes narrowed as they fell on Samuel's hand. When Samuel had his arm around Wendy's shoulders, it had been bad enough, but now, with his hand on her waist, Stanley could feel the icy chill rising in his gaze.Jessica pouted, playing her usual game of charm. "Stanley, now that Mr. Samuel is Wendy's boyfriend, she's acting all high and mighty with him behind her. You're my boyfriend. You wouldn't let me lose to Wendy, would you?"Stanley pressed his

    Jessica, Trish, and Lilian all felt like they had been thoroughly humiliated as well.Wendy turned her gaze to Stanley. "Do you believe me now?"Her clear, bright eyes sparkled with a playful glint. When Stanley saw Samuel's arm still around her, his handsome face darkened, the tension practically radiating off him.This little minx!Even Samuel had fallen under her spell. She really had a way of getting what she wanted!"Wendy, we're here to shop. Did you see anything you liked?" Samuel asked, trying to shift the focus.The sales associate immediately stepped forward, presenting a delicate lace dress. "This one would look perfect on you, miss."Wendy nodded. "I'd like to try it on.""Of course. Go ahead."Wendy took the lace dress into the fitting room.Jessica, however, was no longer in a good mood. She tugged on Stanley's arm. "I told you she's bad news! Look at her. She's already gotten herself tangled up with Mr. Samuel. Look at how nice he is to her. I think he's comp

    Samuel had arrived.Jessica and the others had already met him yesterday at NovaHealth, but now that they were seeing him again, their expressions shifted dramatically.Samuel walked up to Wendy and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I just stepped out to take a call. What's going on here? It looks like I missed something interesting."Wendy flashed a playful smile. "No, you didn't miss anything. In fact, you're just in time. These people all wanted to meet my boyfriend, and I told them it was you."Wendy shot Samuel a knowing glance.Samuel instantly understood. He wrapped an arm around Wendy's slender shoulder and turned his gaze toward the others. "And these are…?"Wendy introduced them one by one. "This is Edith, Lilian, Jessica, and Trish Crone."Her eyes fell on Stanley's refined, handsome face. As soon as Samuel stepped into the room, Stanley's expression also shifted. Clearly, Stanley hadn't expected her boyfriend to be Samuel."And this person needs no introduction. Thi

    Trish immediately straightened her back, her fiery red lips curling into a smirk. "Wendy, don't be jealous. Dr. Ceylan is my boyfriend, and we're getting married soon."Wendy nodded. "So you've multiplied your assets tenfold. When is Dr. Ceylan going to give you all that money? Has he said when it'll be delivered?"Edith paused, caught off guard. "Well…""Looks like he hasn't said anything. I guess he can say whatever he wants about how much money he'll give you. But I'll say it again—he's a fraud. You should watch out."Trish's expression immediately darkened. Her boyfriend Dr. Ceylan was the one thing she took the most pride in, and she wouldn't let anyone tarnish his name."You're just jealous of me! You're jealous I have someone like him as my boyfriend!" she spat.Jessica's voice dripped with sarcasm. "Wendy's not just jealous of you. She's jealous of me too, because I have Stanley."Before Wendy could respond, a deep, magnetic voice interrupted them."What are you all doi

    Stanley frowned slightly, his handsome brow furrowing as he asked, "Who gave these to you?"Wendy raised an eyebrow and replied, "My boyfriend!"Boyfriend?Stanley's face instantly turned cold, the warmth vanishing as he remembered Wendy had mentioned before that she already had a boyfriend. And now, this boyfriend seemed to have made his appearance."Is it that rich boyfriend of yours?""Yeah, it's him."Stanley let out a sarcastic laugh. "Someone who can afford to buy you a luxury car and a mansion must be quite the spender. The Hovendale circle is so small; I really can't think of who your boyfriend could be."Wendy smirked. "Well, that's your problem. I'm going home now."Wendy turned to leave.But Stanley blocked her again. "You really should get a job. With your education, you should be focused on improving yourself, not pretending to have some rich boyfriend."He didn't believe she had a good-looking, wealthy boyfriend.Wendy didn't feel the need to explain. Samuel ha

    Upon that thought, Wendy quickly turned to leave. However, Stanley blocked her path. "Don't you have anything to say to me?" he demanded. Wendy looked up at him with her clear, sharp eyes. "About what?"Stanley pressed his lips together and then replied, his voice tinged with curiosity, "The luxury car you're driving, the mansion you're living in—where did they come from, and whose money are you spending?"Wendy straightened her slender back, exuding confidence. "Just know it isn't your money. I don't think I have to explain the rest to you."She tried to step past him.But Stanley, tall and imposing, stood like a wall, refusing to let her pass.Wendy smirked slightly, her lips curling in amusement. "I know you're very curious. Just like Jessica and the others, you probably think I'm just a housewife, living off the divorce settlement you gave me, with no way to earn money on my own."Stanley had indeed thought this way, as it was true that Wendy didn't have a job."You're h

    Lilian and Trish were in shock as they saw Jessica pinned to the ground. They rushed forward, trying to help her. "Let go of her, now!""Third warning," one of the security guards said sternly. "We'll throw you out if you don't stop."In an instant, the three women were unceremoniously thrown out of Royale Residences. The heavy doors slammed shut behind them with a loud bang.Jessica was speechless, and Trish was equally stunned. Meanwhile, Lilian just stood there, bewildered.They had never been treated like this before. Especially not Jessica—she was always the VIP whenever she was with Stanley, always treated with respect. But now, here she was, unceremoniously kicked out. This was definitely a first for her.Trish, burning with anger, snapped. "This is all Wendy's fault! What's going on, Jessica? Wendy's driving luxury cars and living in mansions, and now she's thrown us out? Has she lost her mind?"Jessica clenched her fists. "What other explanation could there be? She o

    Lilian sneered, "Wendy, you still claim you didn't follow Mr. Hawk here? You're clearly stalking him! You're so manipulative. You even knew Stanley lived on the 9th floor. Are you obsessed or something? What's wrong with you?" Wendy turned to Stanley. "You live on the 9th floor?"Stanley simply pointed with his eyes toward Unit 901. "This is mine."Wendy nodded. "I see."She walked up to the door of Unit 902, and typed in the code. With a soft click, the door swung open.Jessica, Trish, and Lilian stood there with their mouths agape.Wendy lived in Unit 902? She actually lived at Royale Residences—and she was right across the hall from Stanley?!Wendy stepped inside, but before closing the door, she looked back at Jessica and the others. "Looks like you were right after all. We are actually neighbors."With that, she shut the door with a definitive slam.Lilian sucked in a sharp breath. What kind of luck did that brat have? How did she suddenly end up with a luxury car and

    No way. How could that be?Stanley couldn't help but feel a little amused. How did he even start comparing Wendy to the radiant and poised founder of NovaHealth?"Mr. Hawk, how about you give me a ride?"Just moments ago, Wendy had stood outside his car and asked him for a ride.Stanley chuckled. She had her own car, but still chose to say something like that. It was clearly just to tease Jessica.And to provoke him a little, too.This woman was getting bolder and bolder.At that moment, Jessica, Trish, and Lilian climbed into the car. Jessica took the front seat, while Trish and Lilian settled into the back. Stanley pressed the accelerator, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom glided smoothly onto the road.Jessica could hardly believe it. Wendy, driving the same kind of car as Stanley? What kind of person was she to afford a Rolls-Royce?"Did Wendy spend your money again, Mr. Hawk?" Lilian asked.Trish immediately piped up, "Mr. Hawk, when you two got divorced, did you give Wendy a
