Chapter 177

Penulis: Glazed Snow
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? In their r

    What the hell was he talking about? This man was truly despicable! "Mr. Hawk, what exactly do you want?" Stanley glanced at the lingerie she was hiding behind her back. "Put it on for me." Wendy's breath caught. He had seen the lingerie she was holding, and now he was asking her to wear it for him. Furious, she hurled the lingerie at his face. "Never!" Stanley didn't even flinch. The lingerie fell to the floor and he picked it up, a mocking smile on his lips as he held her small, delicate face in his hand. "You wore it for Nathan, but you won't do it for me?" Wendy was forced to tilt her head back, looking up at him with confused eyes. She didn't understand what he was talking about. She hadn't worn it for Nathan. She had never worn such things at all!She didn't even know why room service had brought it to her. "Mr. Hawk, if you really want a woman to wear lingerie for you, then go find Jessica!" she shot back, daring him to find Jessica instead. Stanley's lips cu

    Did humiliating her really make him this happy? -Stanley stood on the balcony, wearing a black silk robe. He held a cigarette between his long fingers, taking quick, sharp drags. The smoke spiraled up, obscuring his face, but the tight furrow in his handsome brow was clear. He smoked in frustration, the ash tipping off the end of the cigarette in angry bursts, lit red sparks falling to the floor. He felt like he was losing his mind. There was nothing wrong with the Executive Suite. He had instructed the resort manager to say that. He just didn't want Wendy and Nathan in a room alone. The thought of her ordering condoms and lingerie made his mind race with images of what she might be doing with Nathan. He couldn't control the jealousy churning inside him. In the dead of night, Stanley suddenly realized something terrifying. He couldn't bear the thought of Wendy with another man. He didn't love her, but he craved the pleasure she gave him. It was just supposed to be a c

    "You wanna fight?"Stanley's eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing in them. The atmosphere between him and Nathan instantly thickened with tension, sparks flying in the air. Jessica stood frozen in shock. She hadn't expected Nathan to actually stand up for Wendy and fight Stanley. The two of them had grown up together, practically inseparable since childhood. Jessica whirled toward Wendy, her voice dripping with accusation. "Wendy, is this what you wanted? You seduce men, and now they're ready to throw punches for you. You really know how to manipulate them!" "Enough, Jessica!" Nathan's fist clenched in anger. At that moment, Wendy reached out and gently grasped Nathan's arm, her voice soft yet firm. "Nathan, don't let this ruin everything. It's not worth it." Nathan turned to look at her, his eyes filled with sincerity. "No, Wendy, you're worth it." At his words, Wendy felt a warmth spread through her chest. Without another word, Nathan shrugged off his coat and d

    Stanley's behavior toward Wendy was harsh, almost excessive. Wendy felt a bitter pang in her chest. "I know Mr. Hawk hates me," she murmured softly, her heart sinking. Nathan opened his mouth to say something but hesitated, and then finally decided against it. "Wendy, stay here and wait for me. I'll go get the car from the garage." Wendy nodded quietly. "Okay." Nathan walked off, leaving her standing alone. She waited in silence, but soon, a figure appeared behind her. It was Stanley. He had come down too, his tall frame wrapped in a sleek black coat, exuding an air of cold dignity. Stanley watched Wendy for a moment. She was looking down at her feet, lost in thought. He pressed his lips together and shifted his gaze away, turning to leave without a word. At that moment, Lionel and his men arrived. As soon as Lionel spotted Wendy, his eyes gleamed with interest. "That's her!" he said, a grin spreading across his face. "Didn't expect such a beauty! A true

    It was Nathan! Nathan had returned with the car, and as soon as he saw someone aiming a knife at Wendy, he lunged forward without hesitation. The blade pierced deep into his chest. "Wendy!" Nathan's name escaped Wendy's lips in a sharp gasp. Stanley, seeing the danger, rushed toward Wendy, but he was still too far away to intervene in time. After watching Nathan take the knife for Wendy, Stanley kicked down two of the black-clad men blocking his path and ran as fast as he could. Just then, Zayn and a group of bodyguards burst onto the scene, surrounding the area. Outnumbered, Lionel and his men were quickly captured. Jessica ran toward Stanley and wrapped her arms tightly around him. "Stanley!" Stanley was forced to stop. He wanted to push her away and get to Wendy and Nathan, but Jessica clung to him desperately. "Don't go, Stanley! I'm so scared!" On the ground, Nathan lay still, a pool of blood spreading around him. Wendy immediately knelt beside him, pres

    Stanley's expression softened a little."I like this bag. As a token of my gratitude, I'd like to invite Jessica to my house tomorrow," Halsey said.Hearing that she was inviting Jessica to the Lincoln family's estate tomorrow, Stanley nodded. "Alright."After he left, Wendy returned. "Hey, sorry I was gone for so long."Halsey took Wendy's hand. "I was just about to come find you."Wendy smiled in return. "Let's go. I'm hungry. Let's head to the snack street.""Alright. I'll take care of the bill," Halsey replied.Wendy immediately stopped her and pulled out a gold-embossed black card from her bag. "Don't fight me for it. Tonight, I'm paying. This is the card Stanley gave me when we divorced. From now on, I'll use his card. Let him foot the bill."Halsey's eyes lit up. "Attagirl! This is Mr. Hawk's compensation for you. If you don't spend it, Jessica will."Wendy stared at the black card in her hand. "How much do you think this card is worth?"Halsey thought for a moment. "I

    They had all hoped to see Wendy make a fool of herself, but in the end, she had humiliated them completely. It was outrageous!Stanley watched Wendy's slender figure as she walked away, his gaze deep and unreadable. No one could tell what he was thinking. He pressed his lips together, then said softly, "Alright, that's enough."Jessica quieted down, her anger toward Wendy still simmering beneath the surface. She tried to suppress it, focusing instead on her goal. "Stanley, you said tonight you'd introduce me to Bebe. Where is she?"Jessica hadn't forgotten the reason she was here. She was determined to marry Stanley as soon as possible.Having just seen Halsey, Stanley murmured, "I'll go find her."Without missing a beat, Jessica quickly handed him the limited-edition handbag.

"Let's head back."He had just acknowledged it—and he did it in front of Wendy.Jessica smiled sweetly, knowing that Wendy's heart was likely burning with a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment. Wendy was probably suffering right now.A country bumpkin, still thinking to compete with her? Dream on!"Alright."Jessica wrapped her arm around Stanley's, turning to leave with him.Just as they were about to walk away, Wendy's clear voice rang out behind them. "Stanley."She was calling after him.Stanley stopped in his tracks, turning around.Jessica smiled. "Wendy, you two are divorced now. Are you still hung up on Stanley? Want to try to win him back?"Wendy stood tall in the corridor, her posture straight and unyielding. She didn't acknowledge Jessica, her eyes, clear as ever, focused on Stanley's distinguished face.

    The highly anticipated pairing had already stolen all the attention, overshadowing everything else.Jessica's heart burned with jealousy, consumed by a deep resentment toward this genius freshman.At that moment, Sienna suddenly exclaimed, "Look, Wendy's here!"Stanley, holding a glass of wine, wasn't in the best of moods tonight. He was indifferent to everything around him. But when he heard Sienna, he looked up, his sharp, handsome eyes glimmering.He saw Wendy.Tonight, Wendy wore a sleeveless black dress. The tight fit accentuated her slender waist, and the puffed-out skirt made her long, white legs stand out even more. As she entered, she immediately caught the attention of many. Her long, jet-black hair flowed smoothly down her back, and a sweater hung casually from her arms. From his angle, he could only see her profile, which made her already delicate features look even smaller. Her pale, translucent skin gave her an ethereal, almost otherworldly quality.That aura of h

Your illusion will shatter once you see her."Jessica and Sienna both started poking fun at the genius freshman, trying to stir the pot.Benny, however, was unfazed. "I've seen my fair share of pretty faces, and they don't interest me. Even if this genius freshman isn't anything special, my feelings wouldn't change.

"Benny, are you even sure if she's single?"Benny had no idea who the genius freshman was. A while ago, he had tagged her in a group chat, asking if she had a boyfriend.

    Wendy said seriously, "As medical practitioners, we must be meticulous. A tiny mistake can lead to disastrous consequences."At that moment, Cyril stood while Wendy sat. Despite the height difference between them, her slender, graceful back was perfectly straight. Her intelligent, clear eyes were full of earnestness as she gave Cyril a lesson, almost as though she were the teacher and he the student.Cyril, speechless, was taken aback. Was she teaching him? Did she really think she was his teacher? He had only one teacher, and that was Dr. Ceylan!Cyril couldn't believe what was happening. He was about to reprimand Wendy, but before he could say anything, she spoke up again. "Alright, Cyril, you can go now."Cyril was stunned.

    Stanley's deep voice rang out. "Mr. Suarez, are you saying that the genius freshman is attending the Summit Academic Forum?"What?The phrase "genius freshman" struck Jessica like a lightning bolt, instantly capturing her attention. Was the mysterious and aloof genius freshman about to make an appearance?"She's actually been in Hovendale this whole time," Dave replied. "Unfortunately, you've never met her. She'll be attending the Summit Academic Forum, so you two will finally get to meet. Please make sure to find some time to attend the event."Stanley nodded. "Alright."After they hung up, Jessica was in shock. "Stanley, the genius freshman has been in Hovendale all this time?

    Before Zayn could continue, Stanley interrupted in a low voice, "We're divorced. There's no need to update me on her situation."Zayn paused for a moment, then nodded respectfully. "Understood." He turned and left the room.At that moment, Jessica walked out. She had overheard everything Stanley had said. A smile curled on her lips as she approached him. She knew Stanley's decisive nature. Once he had divorced Wendy, he wanted nothing more to do with her.Now, his heart and mind were entirely focused on Jessica. She was his one true love.Jessica stepped closer and wrapped her arms around Stanley's waist from behind.Stanley didn't need to look to know it was her.

    After the divorce, Stanley and Wendy never contacted each other again. This was the first time he had heard any news about her.It turned out she had fallen seriously ill.Jessica immediately grinned, her red lips curling with a mix of pride, pity, and mockery. "I never would have guessed that Wendy was so deeply in love with Stanley."Trish joined in, mocking Wendy as well. "With her background, she'll never find another man like Mr. Hawk. It's honestly a little sad when you think about it."Jessica tilted her head, gazing at Stanley with a playful pout. "Stanley, now that your ex-wife's sick, don't you think you should give her a call and comfort her?"Stanley remained expressionless, his handsome face still as composed as ever. He looked at Jessica.
