Chapter 182

Penulis: Glazed Snow
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

    Now that she saw the photo, everything became clear. Wendy's eyes widened in shock, and she turned her gaze to Jessica. "Jessica... Did you give this photo to that man?"A shadow of disappointment and anger flashed in Jessica's eyes. Why had Nathan taken the knife for Wendy? Why wasn't it Wendy who got hurt? And now, the photo had been discovered! Jessica's expression shifted quickly. Stanley snatched the photo from Wendy's hand. After a couple of seconds, he looked up at Jessica, his gaze cold and sharp. Jessica felt a chill run through her. She instinctively tried to deny it, her voice trembling, "What photo? I don't know what you're talking about! Wendy, I know you're worried about Nathan, but don't start accusing people without reason!" "Jessica, take a good look at the photo. You're really stupid, aren't you?" Wendy sneered. Jessica's eyes flicked to the photo, and her heart dropped. She saw the watermark from her phone in the corner of the image. She cursed

    The atmosphere in the hospital corridor was suffocating, heavy with tension.Just then, the door to the operating room swung open, and a doctor in a white coat emerged. Wendy rushed forward, her voice shaky. "Doctor, how is he?""The surgery was a success. He should wake up within 48 hours," the doctor replied.Wendy let out a small sigh of relief. She had seen Nathan's wound earlier, and though the knife hadn't struck any vital organs, she still couldn't fully relax until now. If something had happened to Nathan because of her, she would have never forgiven herself.Soon, Nathan was wheeled out of the operating room, and Wendy followed him into the VIP ward. As the door shut behind her, she didn't even glance at Stanley or Jessica.Jessica reached for Stanley's sleeve, frustration evident in her voice. "Stanley, Wendy is completely out of control! She slapped you and then slapped me. You have to—"Stanley yanked his sleeve away from her grasp, his tone sharp as he asked, "Don'

    Nathan was doing fine, and his condition was stable.The nurse left, and soon, Zayn's voice could be heard from outside the room. "Mr. Hawk, you really need to take care of that hand. If you don't get it treated soon, it could be permanently damaged."Wendy looked up. She noticed Stanley's tall, handsome figure standing by the door. He had been there all along.Zayn, glancing at Wendy, added urgently, "Mrs. Hawk, Mr. Hawk's hand is still bleeding. Please, just say something."Wendy noticed the blood staining the floor. His hand would likely need a lot of stitches.She stood up and walked toward the door.Stanley's eyes lit up as he saw her approach. His tall frame shifted slightly, his face showing a flicker of hope.Zayn, relieved, said, "I knew it! Mrs. Hawk still cares about you. Mr. Hawk, you really should—"But before he could finish, Wendy reached out and shut the door with a firm slam.The door nearly hit Zayn and Stanley's faces, sending a cold draft through the gap.

    Glinda paused for a moment before quickly smiling and saying, "Alright, Wendy. You stay with your friend. When you have some free time, come back and have dinner with me.""Sure, Grandma," Wendy replied.The two of them ended the call.Glinda glanced at Stanley, who was still reading the business newspaper, his expression unreadable."Stanley, have you fought with Wendy?" Glinda asked.Stanley didn't look up from his paper. "No."Glinda let out a small laugh. "Do you know Wendy's friend? Is it a guy or a girl?"Stanley remained silent.Glinda reached over and snatched the newspaper from his hands. "You know, you've been holding the paper upside down."Stanley noticed for the first time that he had been holding the paper wrong. He pressed his lips together briefly.Glinda sighed and stood up. "I know you've been with that Jessica for a while, but nobody will wait around forever, Stanley. Wendy will eventually get fed up with waiting, and she'll leave. She's great, and you don'

    Wendy was speechless. Trish's voice came through, bubbling with excitement. "Wendy, guess what? Dr. Ceylan, the genius doctor, is actually a man! And get this—he's totally fallen for me. We're dating now!"What?Wendy's mind was spinning. "I can't talk to you right now. I'll tell you more later. But hey, you need to come to come home in a couple of days," Trish said before hanging up the phone abruptly.Wendy was certain now. Trish had to be dealing with some sort of scammer!Wendy took a deep breath and shook her head. She quickly headed to the bathroom for a hot shower. As she stepped out, her phone rang again. This time, it was Luna calling.Luna's voice was filled with desperation, and Wendy could hear her crying. "Wendy, I've run into some trouble. Can you come help me?"Wendy's grip tightened on the phone. "Luna, what's going on?""I'm working at the Gold Vista Hotel as a waitress, and just now, my manager took a liking to me and wanted me to spend the night with him.

    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. "Stanley, give this to her. She'll love it!"-Noticing that Wendy had been gone for a while, Halsey started to feel uneasy. She stood up to go look for her.Just then, Stanley called out, "Bebe."Hals

    Wendy stood there, her eyes locked on Stanley.Stanley gave her a cold glance before turning his attention to Jessica, his voice gentle. "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?

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

    Sienna immediately chimed in, "Jessica's right! The genius freshman could be ugly and overweight. 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.

    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.

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?

    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.

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.

    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.
