Chapter 66

Author: Glazed Snow
The bathroom door swung open, releasing a cloud of mist that enveloped Stanley's tall, handsome figure as he stepped out, freshly showered.

Stanley was dressed in a sleek, black silk robe. As soon as he emerged, he overheard Nathan's invitation to Wendy for a fun night.

Wendy turned her head and saw Stanley standing there.

"I'll call you back later, Nathan," she said, disconnecting the call. She turned to Stanley, her voice steady but cool. "I'm leaving."

She reached for her bag, but Stanley's deep voice, casual yet commanding, cut through the air. "Where are you going? Off to play with Nathan?"

Wendy didn't respond. She simply turned to leave, but Stanley's hand shot out with swift precision, grabbing her delicate wrist.

She froze, his touch burning through her skin. His body temperature was unnervingly hot, and his fingertips felt like they could scorch her.

The cold shower hadn't cooled him down; if anything, it had only fueled the heat building inside him.

    Jessica arrived.Stanley froze instantly.The haze of desire that had clouded his judgment earlier seemed to evaporate at that moment. He quickly averted his eyes, a wave of shame washing over him. What was he doing? He'd been on the verge of crossing a line with Wendy.Wendy, feeling the sudden loosening of his grip, found herself freed. "Stay here. Don't go out," Stanley said, his voice taut. He turned and stormed off, likely to look for Jessica. Just moments ago, he had been consumed by lust, but now, with the mention of Jessica's name, he pulled away from her without a second thought. It was as if Wendy no longer mattered.Wendy's face, which had been flushed with embarrassment, slowly regained its natural color. A bitter smile tugged at her lips. How ironic—she, the legitimate wife, felt like the mistress, as though she were having an affair with Stanley while Jessica was the real wife.What would he do with Jessica now? No doubt, he'd be finishing what he couldn't wi

    Since she was young, Jessica had dedicated herself to dance and spent large sums each month on skincare to keep her complexion flawless and smooth. Her figure, graceful and slender, was accentuated by the tight fit of the strapless mini dress she wore, showing off her curves.Stanley sat on the sofa, his eyes fixated on her. As she toyed with his attraction, he couldn't help but glance at her body, admiring her elegant shape.Jessica had always been one of the most beautiful women in Hovendale, and she obviously possessed something special to have caught Stanley's eye.Noticing his gaze, Jessica raised an eyebrow with a confident smirk, clearly aware of the effect she was having on him. She stepped closer, her high heels clicking on the floor, and boldly climbed onto his lap, straddling him.Her delicate fingers playfully traced the muscles of his chest. "Stanley, you're so hard."She raised an eyebrow, her tone teasing. "With you so stiff, how could it not be a big surprise that

    The master bedroom was empty, with no sign of Wendy left behind.Just then, there was a knock at the door. Zayn appeared at the doorway. "Mr. Hawk, I saw Mrs. Hawk on my way here. She's already left."She left? Didn't I tell her to wait here?"I've sent someone to find the antidote for the aphrodisiac," Zayn added.Stanley barely moved his lips. "No need."He stepped into the bathroom, turning on the cold shower. The aphrodisiac in the room had been extinguished by Wendy, leaving only a trace amount that Stanley had inhaled. The effect wasn't too strong, and he knew he could overcome it with his willpower.He stood under the cold water, letting it pour down his body. The icy droplets splashed against his toned muscles, each drop glistening before breaking apart—his chiseled physique enough to make anyone stare.Stanley kept his eyes down, but Wendy's delicate face and soft, fragile hands kept appearing in his mind. Her touch was comforting, and it made him want more.His rest

    Benny was intrigued. "What kind of competition?"Wendy knew Benny was a big fan of mobile games. "Let's play a round of mobile games, and we'll see who wins and who loses.""What?" Benny burst out laughing. "You want to challenge me in a round of mobile games? I'm a champion, Wendy! Do you really think I'll lose to someone like you?"Wendy smirked. "We'll find out soon enough."Benny pulled out his phone. "Alright, let's do this! Today, I'll show you how it's done."Wendy pulled out her phone as well, and they both started the game.In the game, Benny spun his character in midair, brandishing a large sword. "Wendy, prepare to die!"But in the next second, the sound of "Game Over" echoed through the room.The game had ended.Benny shot up from his seat, disbelief written all over his face. Just as he was showing off with his spin, Wendy had dropped down from above and, with a glowing axe, sliced through him.He was defeated.Benny found it hard to believe. He was a seasoned p

    Benny sucked in a sharp breath, his face turning pale. What was this ugly duckling who came from the countryside saying? She wanted to teach him a lesson on behalf of Stanley? Was this a sick joke?In the entire town of Hovendale, the only person who could stand up to him, the local tyrant, was Stanley!Wendy tugged Cecelia's hand. "Let's go, Cecelia."As they moved toward the door, Stanley reached out and grabbed her delicate hand.His long, sharp fingers wrapped around her soft hand, and the simple touch sent an electric shiver up both of their spines. Their memories flashed back to that night at Saville Villa, when he had pinned her to the wall...Wendy quickly yanked her hand away.Stanley studied her small, exquisite face. His Adam's apple shifted slightly as he casually said, "Wendy, this won't happen again."Wendy stared at him coldly. "Handle things with Grandma as soon as you can. I'm ready to go to the courthouse for the divorce anytime. I've been wanting to give Jes

    Benny couldn't beat Wendy in the game, so he turned to Stanley to vent his frustration.Stanley raised an eyebrow, his expression indifferent. "She's offline already."Wendy's avatar had gone dark—she was no longer online.Benny sighed, feeling disappointed. "Stanley, next time, you have to play a game with Wendy."Stanley wasn't opposed to the idea. He looked at Benny and simply said, "Bye."Just then, Benny suddenly remembered something. "Stanley, have you added that genius junior of yours?"Stanley raised an eyebrow. "Are you that interested in her?""Of course! She's my goddess!" Benny replied eagerly."I'm in a group chat with her," Stanley said.Benny's eyes lit up. "Really? Stanley, hurry up and add me to the group. I have to add my goddess!"Stanley, giving in to Benny's constant pleading, took out his phone and added him to the group.When Benny saw W in the chat, his heart raced. His goddess! He never should've played with that country bumpkin Wendy—what a waste

    Wendy returned to the Hawk family estate, and as soon as she stepped into the living room, her eyes landed on someone—someone she would never forget: George.Years ago, when Lilian sent her away to the countryside, it was to George's house. George had been her foster father. Now, Glinda and George were seated on the plush sofa in the living room. Glinda greeted George warmly. "Wendy grew up in the countryside. Those years would've been so tough without you. You raised Wendy so well. Now she's here, an esteemed lady in the Hawk family."George's left eye was blind, leaving him with a single eye. He was a broad-shouldered man with a rough appearance, someone who had once been known for his drinking and violent behavior toward his wife.Sitting on the expensive sofa now, his lone eye roamed around the luxurious decor of the Hawk family mansion, his gaze lingering greedily on the antique paintings scattered around. Yet, in front of Glinda, he played the humble, simple man. "Mrs. G

    George chuckled awkwardly. "Mr. Hawk, hello. I never expected Wendy to marry so well. Seeing you two together, so perfectly matched, I can rest easy now. I'll be on my way, and I won't disturb you any longer."Glinda quickly tried to convince him to stay. "Stay for dinner, George. You've come all this way, and I've already asked the staff to prepare the meal. It'll be a nice family gathering tonight."Stanley looked at George, his voice calm and measured. "Stay for dinner."Both Stanley and Glinda invited him to stay.George smiled, "Well, since you insist, I'd be happy to oblige—"But Wendy's cold voice cut through, stopping him. "He won't stay for dinner."George froze, his gaze snapping to Wendy.Wendy met his stare, her voice unwavering. "You just got out of prison. Don't come back to the Hawk family estate again."The moment her words hit the air, the atmosphere shifted—tense and uncomfortable.Glinda paused, her eyes wide in surprise as she looked at George. "Wait, you'v

    Scarface gave Stanley the address and abruptly hung up the phone.Lilian immediately spoke up, "Mr. Hawk, you have to save Jessica1 Her heart isn't strong; she can't handle the stress!"Samuel glanced at Stanley, concern etched on his face. "Wendy's in their hands too. You have to bring her back."Stanley didn't respond, his expression hardening as he turned and walked out without another word.-Inside the warehouse, Scarface looked at Wendy and Jessica with a smug smile. "Tsk, tsk," he murmured. "You can question the character of the rich, but you can't question their taste. Mr. Hawk's ex-wife and girlfriend—you're both beauties. It's enough to make anyone jealous."One of the men in black chuckled, "Boss, we still have time. Why don't you have a little fun with them?"Scarface rolled up his sleeves and moved toward Wendy, grabbing her delicate chin. "Why don't I start with the ex-wife? I'll see what a woman Mr. Hawk's been with is like."With that, Scarface reached for Wend

    Stanley pressed the button to answer the call, and a gruff male voice came through. "Hello, Mr. Hawk."Stanley's expression remained unchanged as he gripped the phone. "Who are you?""You don't need to know who I am. All you need to know is that the one you're looking for is in my hands," the voice replied.Lilian, panic in her voice, spoke up, "He's the one who took Jessica! Mr. Hawk, you have to save her!"Stanley's tone was cold as he asked, "Is Jessica with you?""That's right," the voice said. "Now, let me have her say a few words to you."Moments later, Jessica's frantic voice came through the phone. "Stanley, help me! Please, I'm so scared!"Stanley's lips twisted into a sharp, emotionless line. "What do you want?""I want money," the voice responded harshly. "Prepare 100 million, and I want it now."Stanley let out a humorless laugh. "You kidnapped someone, and you're trying to extort 100 million from me? That's enough to put you in prison for the rest of your life."

    With that, Jessica turned and walked away.Before she left, she cast a quick glance at Lilian, and the two exchanged a silent, knowing look.Stanley and Samuel stood together, and Samuel glanced at his watch. "Mr. Hawk, Dr. Ceylan will be making her appearance soon."Stanley turned to Samuel. "How do you know Dr. Ceylan?"Samuel didn't answer directly. Instead, he said, "You know her too."Stanley's brow furrowed. Wendy had said the same thing to him before—that he knew Dr. Ceylan. Now, Samuel was saying the same thing. What was going on here?What did Samuel and Wendy mean by this?Could it be that Dr. Ceylan was someone Stanley knew after all? Had Dr. Ceylan always been right under his nose?Just then, the host spoke up. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us tonight. The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here. Let's welcome Dr. Ceylan!"Everyone's attention shifted upstairs, their breaths held in anticipation for Dr. Ceylan's arrival.Stanley looked up.

    Seeing that Wendy had arrived, Jessica froze for a moment. "Why is she here?"Stanley's gaze shifted to Wendy, watching her intently.As Wendy approached them, Samuel wrapped his arm around her waist. "There you are."Edith, Jessica, Trish, and Lilian quickly gathered around, all eyes on Wendy, who looked as radiant as ever. Edith spoke up first. "Wendy, what are you doing here? Are you here to see Dr. Ceylan too? The doctor is truly a wonder whom everyone seems to adore. Even someone like you, a mere housewife, knows the doctor's name!"Wendy raised an eyebrow. "That's right. I'm here to see Dr. Ceylan."Trish scoffed. "Wendy, even if you do meet Dr. Ceylan, the doctor won't waste any time talking to someone like you."Wendy turned her gaze toward Trish. "And you think Dr. Ceylan will talk to you?""Of course!" Trish replied proudly. "I'm studying medicine, after all.""Wendy, today is a huge day—the real Dr. Ceylan is here in Hovendale," Lilian interjected. "This isn't the t

    Wendy wasn't the least bit angry. "Is that so? Well, we'll see about that!"With that, she turned and walked away.Just then, Stanley's tall figure blocked her path. Wendy glared at him. "And you—we'll see about you, too!"Without another word, Wendy walked off.Stanley stood there, momentarily speechless. "Mr. Hawk, Wendy's completely lost her mind! Did you hear how she was talking to you? Has she gone mad?" Edith roared.Stanley watched Wendy's retreating figure, his lips curving into a slight smile. He suddenly felt that Wendy was...different. But what had changed, he couldn't quite put his finger on.Ever since the divorce, Wendy had been evolving, becoming deeper, more unpredictable.-Soon, evening fell, and the banquet began.Everyone put aside their tensions with Wendy for the night, dressing in their finest for the event.The grand hall was filled with prominent figures, wealthy elites, and powerful individuals, all gathered for a glimpse of Dr. Ceylan.Jessica a

    Wendy was saying Stanley had met Dr. Ceylan.Stanley hadn't known this. A deep, probing look crossed his face as he studied Wendy. He couldn't shake the feeling that Wendy was hiding something from him.Right now, Wendy's eyes sparkled, glowing with an almost irresistible brightness. Stanley couldn't help but feel a strange stir in his chest as he gazed at her.Just then, Edith and Lilian emerged from the room, and Edith called out, "Wendy."Wendy turned to look at Edith. "Did you need something?"Edith's gaze was serious. "Did you take your father's ashes back and get everything settled?"At the mention of her father, Wendy let out a cold laugh. "Are you really pretending to care about my dad's ashes?""How can you talk like that? Jerry was my first son. I'm his mother!" Edith retorted, a hint of anger creeping into her voice.Wendy scoffed, her voice laced with bitterness. "My dad's gone. Who are you trying to fool with that? He wasn't even your biological son. You adopted him

    At that moment, Edith, Lilian, and Trish all arrived, walking into the hospital room with expressions of surprise and excitement.Edith's eyes sparkled. "The real Dr. Ceylan has really arrived in Hovendale?"Stanley nodded. "Yes, Dr. Ceylan will be attending the dinner tonight."Goodness!The Crone family was buzzing with excitement.Trish, looking starstruck, exclaimed, "The real Dr. Ceylan has finally arrived! The doctor is my idol, my goal—the person I want to be. I can't believe I'm finally going to meet Dr. Ceylan!"Edith added, "Dr. Ceylan is so mysterious, always appearing and disappearing. We've been fooled by the fake Dr. Ceylan before, but now, we'll finally see the doctor's true face."Lilian, too, was curious. "Do you think Dr. Ceylan is a man or a woman?"Jessica shook her head. "I don't know either. We'll have the answer tonight."Edith turned to Stanley with a hopeful look. "Mr. Hawk, can we come with you to the dinner tonight? We all want to meet Dr. Ceylan."S

    Wendy felt that it was time for her to finally show herself. The Crone family had been responsible for her father's death, and it was time to settle those scores once and for all. And then, there was Stanley. He had always wanted to know who Dr. Ceylan really was. Well, now she was ready to tell him.-At the CEO's office in Hawk Group, Stanley sat behind his desk, reviewing documents. His hand moved swiftly with a pen as he signed his name in the bottom corner of each page with a sharp, decisive stroke.Just then, the door opened, and Zayn entered quietly. "Mr. Hawk, we've received news about Dr. Ceylan."Stanley paused, the pen hovering in midair. His dark eyes shifted up to meet Zayn's. "Go on.""We've just received word from Dr. Ceylan that the doctor will be attending the dinner tonight. The real Dr. Ceylan has arrived in Hovendale and has arranged to meet with you there."Stanley's expression deepened, his gaze growing darker. He had been searching for Dr. Ceylan for wha

    "It's getting late. You should go home and get some rest," Wendy said, her voice calm but firm.Stanley glanced at her, with no intention of moving. "You're right. It's late. Goodnight."Wendy froze.Was he staying here tonight?"Mr. Hawk, hasn't Zayn brought the key yet?" Wendy asked, trying to keep her voice steady."He won't bring it until tomorrow. So tonight, I'll be staying here," Stanley replied smoothly."No," Wendy protested, her voice trembling slightly.Stanley turned to her, his gaze sharp. "I'm informing you, not asking for your permission."Wendy opened her mouth to say something else, but before she could, the world around her seemed to darken. Stanley kissed her again, silencing her with a force that left her breathless.-In the hospital room, Jessica had been dialing Stanley's number relentlessly, but there was no answer.She tried Wendy's number next, but still, no one picked up.What were they doing?Thinking back to the images she had seen during the vi
