Chapter 217

Author: Glazed Snow
Wendy lay on her side, her back turned to him, while Stanley sat on the edge of the bed. They looked like a married couple in the middle of a bitter argument.

Stanley clenched his fists, then, after a long pause, he finally spat out a single word.

"Sure."

He stood up and walked out.

He left.

Tears that Wendy had been holding back slipped down her face uncontrollably. She grabbed the blanket and pulled it over her tear-streaked face. It wasn't a big deal. It was just a bad night. If he didn't have feelings for her, she would just pretend it had been a bad dream.

Still, her heart ached. It hurt so much.

Wendy knew deep down, she was still in love with Stanley.

So deeply in love.

-

Since that day, Wendy and Stanley hadn't spoken again. The focus of the media during this time, however, was all on Luna.

Luna had suddenly joined one of the most talked-about variety shows, and her popularity skyrocketed due to her pure and sweet image. She became known for her innocent persona and

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    Luna couldn't wait any longer. She texted Stanley, [Mr. Hawk, have you arrived?]Stanley's eyes darkened, turning as deep and cold as an abyss. He replied with one simple word. [Yes.]-At the birthday party, Luna's heart soared when she saw his reply. Stanley was here!What a shame that Wendy wasn't around to see this. Luna wanted Wendy to witness this moment so badly!Luna grinned widely and turned to the crowd. "Everyone, the birthday party can officially begin! The special guest I've been waiting for has arrived.""Luna, who's this special guest?""Ms. Fisher, stop teasing us! Please bring out this VIP guest. We can't wait to see!"Luna smiled mischievously. "Alright, let's welcome him now!"The doors to the banquet hall swung open, and all eyes turned toward them.Then, someone walked in.Luna eagerly rushed forward, ready to greet the guest.

    Luna's eyes shone with pride—she couldn't wait to flaunt her happiness in front of Wendy.Wendy's gaze remained cold, and she didn't respond.Luna placed her hand on her small belly, a smug smile curling her lips. "Wendy, you're not jealous of me, are you? Some people have to take the morning-after pill after a night and even faint from the allergies, while I get pregnant and am showered with love. Life sure isn't fair, is it?""Hey!" Halsey and Cecelia both moved as if to say something, but Wendy raised a hand to stop them."Let's go," she said softly, her voice level.With that, Wendy turned on her heel and walked away.Halsey and Cecelia quickly followed. "Wendy, why didn't you let us put her in her place?"Wendy gave a bitter, almost self-deprecating smile. "Why bother? She's just telling the truth."She took the morning-after pill and fainted from an allergic reaction. Meanwhile, Luna got pregnant and became a huge star.It was painfully obvious who Stanley loved and didn

    "Wendy, are you okay? What did Mr. Hawk bring you here for?"Halsey and Cecelia quickly grabbed Wendy as she stood there, trying to process everything.Wendy furrowed her brows, still confused about what Stanley was doing. He had brought her to Imperial Garden and then said "sorry" twice—it was very out of character for him. But then she remembered Luna's pregnancy, and her frustration toward Stanley faded. She didn't want to waste any more time on him. "Let's just go," she said, her voice flat."Alright," Halsey and Cecelia agreed.The three of them left, and Stanley remained on the couch, his expression darkening as he masked the lust that flickered in his eyes.Just then, Zayn entered and reported in a low voice, "Mr. Hawk, I've found something."Stanley looked up. "Go on.""It turns out Luna has a boyfriend in the countryside. He loves her very much, and he works the dirtiest and hardest jobs on a construction site to earn money so she can go to college.

    What did he just say?Wendy's eyes widened in shock. He had gotten Luna pregnant, and was still saying things like that to her?Shame and fury swelled inside her, and she spat at him, "You're despicable!"Stanley looked down at her with those sharp, striking eyes. Wendy's long, silky black hair was messily spread out on the couch, her delicate face framed by eyes that were as clear as day, staring at him with a mix of anger and hurt. The sight was almost identical to the one in his dreams.At that moment, all his memories came rushing back.Stanley's lips curled into a faint smile. "Why call me that? What exactly makes me despicable? Tell me."Though she had sharp words, Wendy was still awkward when it came to insults. Her voice, soft and weak, could only manage a few words like "annoying" or "despicable"—it was almost childlike.Wendy glared at him. "What do you want from me? If you ever try to find me again, I'll tell Luna. She's carrying your child, and she can't handle stres

    Luna's face was flushed with a playful shyness. "Mr. Hawk, tomorrow is my birthday, and I'm planning to have a party. Would you consider coming to celebrate with me?"Luna was now a hotshot celebrity, her every move followed by the media and fans. If Stanley, the powerful business tycoon and the wealthiest man in Hovendale, attended her birthday party, it would secure her fame and fortune for a lifetime.Wendy's clear eyes settled on Stanley, who simply nodded in response. "Alright."He had agreed to attend Luna's party.Luna's heart soared with joy. "Thank you, Mr. Hawk!""Since you're pregnant, you should take good care of yourself. You should go home and rest," Stanley said, his words of concern making Luna even happier. She placed her hand gently over her abdomen."I'll head home, then. Don't worry! I'll take good care of our baby. I'll see you tomorrow."Luna shot a challenging glance at Wendy before walking away, her assistant following behind, a look of triumph on her fac

    It was her!It was Wendy!Yet, he had mistaken her for someone else.As Stanley recalled the way he had treated Wendy—his coldness, his humiliating words—he could have slapped himself. That day in the nurse's office, he had pinned her down on the bed, and she had tearfully told him how much she hated him. She was so innocent, so vulnerable.He cursed at himself over and over.His muscles tensed as the anger built inside him. He scowled, his handsome face twisted in frustration—but soon, a small smile curved on his lips.-Cecelia had a good night's sleep after she got back to the apartment. The next day, Wendy and Halsey took her out shopping.The three of them walked through the mall, entering a boutique that sold accessories. Wendy's eyes lit up when she saw a collection of cute hairpins.The pins were in candy-colored shades, with designs of pink strawberries, green watermelons, and yellow lemons…all very playful and vibrant."Wendy, these hairpins are perfect for you!

    Jessica was so furious that she dug her nails deep into her palms, but she barely felt the pain as the fury coursed through her.Lilian's face was as dark as a storm cloud. She glanced at Luna, still kneeling before her. "Is this all you've got? If you can't even deal with Wendy, then you have no use here."Luna panicked, her voice shaky. "I can handle it. I've come up with a new plan to deal with her!"Lilian snorted coldly. "We'll see how you perform. Now, get out of here."Luna hurriedly scrambled to her feet and fled."Mom, why did you let her go?" Jessica demanded, frustration evident in her voice.Lilian gave a strange, almost wicked smile. "Mr. Hawk still doesn't know the woman from that night was Wendy. We can take advantage of the fact that he hasn't figured it out yet and use Luna to handle Wendy. All we need to do is sit back and let the chaos unfold before we reap the benefits."Jessica took a deep breath, calming herself. Lilian was right. Stanley still had no idea

    Stanley didn't say a word. Luna couldn't figure out what this man was thinking or what was going through his mind."Mr. Hawk, it was me that night. I gave you my virginity—" Before she could continue, Stanley pressed the accelerator, and the luxury car sped off."Mr. Hawk!" Luna stood frozen in place, her anxiety mounting. She was terrified—what if Stanley had discovered the truth?At that moment, two bodyguards dressed in black suddenly appeared. They grabbed Luna by the arms and began dragging her away.Luna screamed, panic rising in her chest, "Who are you? Let go of me!""Get in! Ms. Crone wants to see you."The two guards were forceful, shoving Luna into a sleek, black luxury car.Luna looked up and saw Jessica inside, her delicate face set in a cold expression as she stared at her.Luna's heart sank. She had heard of Jessica—everyone in Hovendale knew that Jessica was Stanley's beloved. Wendy, on the other hand, was just an unimportant wife, and Luna wasn't afraid of he

    Wendy wrapped Cecelia in a big hug. "Cecelia, I'm sorry you had to go through all that these past couple of days."Cecelia looked perfectly fine, her spirits high. "I had it easy in there—good food, good sleep. Everything was just fine."The three of them shared a laugh.Just then, Luna approached and shot Wendy a venomous glare. Originally, she had planned to use Cecelia to annoy Wendy, but instead, Wendy had turned the tables on her. She couldn't accept that, and it stung. Luna knew Stanley had feelings for Wendy, especially after that night. The woman who had slept with Stanley was Wendy. That was why, when she saw that text from Wendy, Luna had panicked. She sent people to find out more, and sure enough, Wendy had gone to Hawk Group to meet Stanley. Not long after that, Stanley had taken her away in his luxury car.Luna had been terrified.
