Chapter 186

Author: Glazed Snow
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.

    Jake stared at Wendy, his eyes lighting up in surprise. "And where did you come from, pretty girl? You look like an angel."Luna, frightened, hid behind Wendy. "This is my classmate... Mr. Silva, we're students. We're not selling our bodies. Please, leave us alone…""Students, huh? That's even better. I love schoolgirls," Jake said with a lecherous grin, eyeing Wendy hungrily. "Since you're classmates, you two can serve me tonight."With a wave of his hand, Jake instructed his bodyguards dressed in black, "Take them both away."Wendy quickly stepped in front of the trembling Luna, her gaze cold as she stared at Jake. "Kidnapping someone in broad daylight? Don't you realize this is illegal?""Illegal?" Jake burst out laughing, his tone full of arrogance. "In Hovendale, I'm a big shot. I dine with Mr. Hawk, the wealthiest man in town, and you're telling me about the law?"Jake brought up Stanley, the wealthiest man in Hovendale. Wendy hadn't heard from Stanley in days, but everyo

    He said he didn't know her. After speaking, Stanley stepped away, his long legs carrying him forward as he led the businessmen into the luxurious private room. Wendy's body stiffened slightly, the calm she had tried to maintain slipping away. Luna, still hiding behind Wendy, had stopped crying. Her pale face, once colorless, began to warm with a soft blush, her eyes glued to Stanley's tall, handsome figure as she stared after him, mesmerized. Once Stanley was out of sight, Jake turned his attention to Wendy. "Haha! You say you're Mrs. Hawk, but Mr. Hawk doesn't even know you. You're just a liar!" Wendy had no response. Jake wasn't in the mood to waste any more time. "Grab them!" he ordered. The two black-clad bodyguards immediately moved forward again, grabbing Wendy and Luna roughly. Luna struggled in their grasp. "Let go of me!" Wendy appeared calm, as she had a needle and some sleeping powder hidden on her. As soon as they entered the room with Jake, she w

    Stanley wanted Wendy to offer him a drink.Wendy froze, her body tense.Jake, too, stiffened in confusion. What was Stanley doing? Was he interested in Wendy? If that were the case, Jake knew his place. There was no way he'd dare compete with Stanley for a woman."What are you waiting for? Go offer Mr. Hawk the drink," Jake urged impatiently.The other businessmen laughed. "I've seen plenty of girls trying to offer Mr. Hawk a drink, but it's the first time I've seen Mr. Hawk ordering it.""Go on. Don't keep Mr. Hawk waiting."Everyone's eyes were on Wendy now, and she had no choice but to step forward and offer Stanley a drink.Wendy had no idea what Stanley's intentions were, but she could only stand and walk over to him, holding the glass in her hand. "Mr. Hawk, here's to you."As she stood, Stanley sat, and though she was slightly taller, he still looked at her with an air of dominance. His eyes swept over her, careless and indifferent, the gaze of a mature and wealthy bu

    He was intentionally teasing her. The moment she glared at him, it was the first sign of life in her.Stanley's voice was low and commanding. "Beg me, and I'll take you away."Being the experienced businessman he was, he already knew what kind of predicament she was in. He wanted her to speak up and ask him for help.Wendy would never do that.She didn't need him to save her. She didn't want to owe him anything."Mr. Hawk, please let go of me!" Wendy struggled fiercely, forcing herself out of his grasp and standing up from his lap.She didn't want to stay in the room any longer. Without a word, she opened the door to the private room and stepped out.Jake immediately stood up. "Mr. Hawk, can I excuse myself?"Jake wouldn't dare leave without Stanley's permission.Stanley remained silent.The silence was enough of an answer. Jake quickly left.Stanley's handsome face turned cold, his expression darkening.The people in the room noticed the shift. They exchanged looks, uncert

    Stanley scanned the room. "This place must have cost quite a bit to decorate, huh?"Wendy shrugged. "So what?""Did Samuel pay for all of this?""Yeah, he paid for everything. He bought the luxury car, the mansion—everything. I just brought my stuff and moved in."Stanley pressed his lips together in thought. Then, his eyes landed on something on the coffee table."What's this?" Stanley moved toward the table.Wendy looked up, her clear eyes suddenly narrowing in shock. On the coffee table was a pregnancy test.Wendy reached out to grab it, but Stanley was faster. He snatched up the test before she could.He glanced at the test, then at her. "Why did you buy a pregnancy test?"Wendy quickly scanned it. Thankfully, it was a new one, and there were no two red lines—thankfully, it didn't reveal that she was pregnant.Since Stanley didn't want kids and had no plans of being a father, she hadn't planned on telling him.Wendy wasn't sure what his reaction would be. If he knew she w

    On the other side, Stanley pulled Wendy out of the bar, his long strides quick and confident. Wendy could barely keep up, stumbling behind him.Wendy frowned. "Stanley, let go of me!"Stanley opened the door of his luxury car and shoved her into the passenger seat before he slid into the driver's seat.The Rolls-Royce Phantom sped down the road, the city's neon lights casting a glow on the sleek car. Wendy raised an eyebrow. "Did you finish dinner already? Was the lady's dance not enough to keep you around?"Stanley's sudden appearance at the bar had caught Wendy off guard, especially since she had just seen him watching a group of beautiful dancers moments ago.His hand, adorned with an expensive watch, rested on the steering wheel. The city's lights reflected off his sharp, handsome face, making him look both refined and striking. "You saw me?" he asked, his voice smooth.Wendy nodded. "Yeah. Your charm seems endless. Everywhere, there's someone falling for you."Stanley's

    Dwight grabbed the blanket and pulled it over his handsome face, not saying a word. He wasn't in the mood to talk.The first time he did something bad, and she caught him. His luck was unbelievable.Halsey reached out and pulled the blanket off his face. "Dwight, talk to me. Why are you watching this?"Now, Dwight lay flat on the bed, one long leg hanging off the edge. His posture was relaxed, but there was an untamed, wild energy about him—reckless, carefree.Halsey snatched the blanket off his face, her soft body pressing into him, her weight on top of him.Dwight, feeling resigned, let go of any pretense. "So what if I watched it?""You…" Halsey was left speechless by his shamelessness.Dwight looked at her small, oval face. "You can leave now.""I'm not leaving.""Then what do you want?""I want to watch too!"Dwight narrowed his eyes and reached for the phone, trying to stop her from seeing it.But Halsey had already clicked on the video. She was curious, after all—she

    It was porn.The moment the audio filled the room, Dwight immediately realized what was going on and quickly shut it off.He sent two words to Warren. [Wanna die?]Warren laughed. [You have a girlfriend now. You should start learning. It's time to widen your horizons.]Dwight quickly replied, [Shut up!]Warren didn't dare to send another message.Dwight returned to studying Phantom's files. Before he knew it, half an hour had passed. He was lying on the bed, his arm resting behind his head. His mind was in a chaotic swirl, and it was unclear what he was thinking about.His mind had always been calm before.But after meeting Halsey, things started to feel a little off.Somehow, Dwight found himself reaching for his phone again and clicking on the video.In the room next door, Halsey and Madeline had already settled into bed, chatting.Halsey asked, "How's your mom's health been lately?"Madeline nodded. "She's much better. After the last time she went to the hospital and got

    And on top of that, Halsey had taken off her outer clothes.Halsey let out a soft gasp. "Ah—mmm!"She was about to cry out again, but Dwight quickly covered her mouth with his hand, silencing her."Don't make a sound," he whispered urgently. "My mom and my sister are in the house. Do you want them to see us like this?"Halsey blinked, her wide eyes filled with surprise as she looked at him. She pulled his hand away. "I won't make a sound. Just put me down."Dwight released his hold, and Halsey carefully climbed off him.However, as she moved, her hand brushed against something. It wasn't the first time she had touched it, but this time, curiosity got the better of her, and she reached out. "What's this?""Halsey, don't touch that!" Dwight tried to stop her hand from reaching any further.Yet, Halsey was too quick. He couldn't stop her in time.Dwight's body stiffened. A flush of desire spread across his face, creeping up from the corners of his eyes.Halsey quickly realized wh

    Halsey stared out the window at the pouring rain. How was she supposed to get back to school in this weather?Madeline spoke up. "Halsey, it's too dangerous to go back in this rain. Why don't you stay here tonight?"Tina nodded in agreement. "Yeah, Halsey, stay here. You can sleep in Maddy's room."Tina liked Halsey a lot, but she was also very clear about boundaries. She wouldn't allow Halsey to sleep in the same room as Dwight.Halsey smiled and nodded. "Alright. Looks like I'm staying with you tonight, Maddy."Madeline happily linked arms with Halsey. "Come on! I'll show you to my room."Once inside Madeline's room, Madeline pulled out a new nightgown. "This is new. You can wear it."Halsey took it in her hands. "Thanks.""Go take a shower first," Madeline suggested.There were three rooms in the house, none of them very big—Tina had one, Dwight had one, and Madeline had the other. The bathroom was shared.Halsey held the nightgown in front of her as she headed toward the d

    Warren had come looking for Dwight, but he wasn't expecting to find him with Halsey. When he saw her, his eyes went wide in surprise.Halsey quickly pulled away from Dwight, feeling a bit embarrassed. She smiled at Warren and introduced herself. "Hi, I'm Halsey."Warren grinned. "Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Warren. Dwight, you got a girlfriend?"Dwight shook his head. "She's not my girlfriend.""I am!" Halsey said, smiling brightly.Dwight gave her a look of disbelief. Warren laughed. "Dwight, I thought you were going to die a lonely man. You never showed any interest in girls before, but now I get it. It's not that you weren't interested, just that you had high standards and hadn't found someone you liked. Halsey here—she's way out of the league of the girls who used to chase you around!"Dwight set the spatula down and looked at Warren. "Let's talk outside."They stepped out into the yard, and Dwight said, "Alright, enough with the small talk. What did you come here for?"Warr

    Dwight didn't respond. Halsey watched him, noticing how his freshly washed, short hair was still damp, his black T-shirt and pants giving him a more youthful, handsome vibe.He was an excellent cook, his skills honed from a young age. A man who could cook was undeniably more attractive.The more Halsey looked at him, the more she found herself drawn to him. "Dwight, why aren't you talking to me? If you keep ignoring me, I might just have to tickle you."Without warning, she reached out and tickled him.Her soft little hands landed on his toned waist, sending a tingly sensation through him. Dwight quickly caught both of her flailing wrists with one hand and pushed her firmly against the wall. "What are you doing? Stop it."Halsey struggled, trying to pull her hands free. "Why are you being so mean?"Dwight didn't let go.Halsey stood on her tiptoes and quickly kissed him on the lips.Dwight froze for a moment.Seeing that he didn't resist, Halsey grew bolder and leaned in ag

    Halsey greeted them, "Mrs. Garner, Maddy, hello."Tina was visibly happy. "Dwight, you should have told us Halsey was coming. We could have prepared a few more dishes."Dwight was about to say that Halsey wasn't eating here, but she cut in before he could. "Mrs. Garner, I'm not picky. As long as there's enough food, I'm fine."Tina smiled, "Well, we definitely have plenty."Everyone laughed, their mood light and cheerful.Dwight stated, "I'm going to take a shower."He went back to his room, turning on the shower and letting the cold water pour over him. The aphrodisiac Penny had prepared for him was potent. Dwight had been around long enough to recognize these kinds of tricks, but still, as a man, the effect of the drug was something he couldn't easily shake off. The cold water hit his solid muscles, splashing off him. He closed his eyes, trying to focus.Suddenly, the door opened, and Halsey's soft voice rang out. "Dwight."He didn't look up. "Yeah?""Mrs. Garner asked me
