Chapter 219

Author: Glazed Snow
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

    "Mr. Hawk, I need to talk to you about—""I'm busy," he coldly cut her off. "If you have something to discuss, contact my secretary and make an appointment."With that, he hung up without another word.The line went dead with a loud, hollow beep.Wendy's heart sank, but for Cecelia, she had no choice but to approach Stanley. "Mr. Chapman, wait for my message," she said quietly.-Wendy arrived at the Imperial Garden, where the maid opened the door with a polite greeting. "Mrs. Hawk.""Is Stanley here? Please let him know I'm here to see him," Wendy said, keeping her voice steady."Of course. Please wait a moment."Wendy stood outside, waiting. It wasn't long before the maid returned. "Mr. Hawk is in the study, but he said he doesn't want to see you."He didn't want to see her.Wendy didn't move. "Then I'll wait here until he's ready to see me."Just then, a luxury MPV pulled up and Luna stepped out, her crystal heels clicking on the pavement.Luna glanced over at Wendy w

    Stanley glanced sideways at Luna.Her hand rested gently on his, and she could feel the sharp elegance of his bone structure. She also brushed against the cold, luxurious watch on his wrist, its icy touch just as expensive and intimidating as he was—something that made you hesitate to touch, yet want to at the same time.Luna, the picture of innocence, blushed deeply. "Mr. Hawk, I gave myself to you willingly that night. It was my first time. Do you remember our night together?"Benny, sensing something wasn't right, opened his mouth to speak. "Stanley…"One of the wealthy second-generation men beside him held him back and whispered, "It seems like Mr. Hawk has a thing for her. Whoever Mr. Hawk favors, that's the one who you need to show respect."Benny didn't agree. He only recognized Jessica.Stanley continued to watch Luna, her shy, demure look making her seem even more appealing. The truth was, during this time, Stanley hadn't thought much about that night.Because all his m

    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
