Wendy was also staring at him. Her tone was light but firm as she repeated, "Let's get a divorce, Stanley. Do you like your birthday gift?"Stanley didn't bat an eyelid. "You're asking for a divorce just because I didn't celebrate my birthday with you?""Jessica has returned, hasn't she?" At the mention of Jessica, Stanley's thin lips curled into a faint, mocking smile. He took a step forward, closing the distance between them. "Are you bothered by Jessica?"Stanley, known as the youngest business prodigy alive, exuded an aura of power, wealth, and status. As he approached, Wendy instinctively stepped back, her slender back pressing against the cold wall.Her vision went dark as Stanley leaned in. He propped one hand against the wall beside her, trapping her between his firm chest and the wall.Looking down at her with his deep, striking eyes, Stanley sneered."Everyone in Hovendale knows Jessica was the one I intended to marry. Weren't you aware when you schemed to replace her

Wendy arrived.After finishing their shopping spree at the mall, Cecelia brought Wendy directly to 1996 Bar. Tonight, she was determined to throw a celebration party for Wendy.Wendy hadn't expected to run into Stanley and his friends here, but she could hear their mocking remarks.She recognized Benny and the others in the luxury booth. They were part of Stanley's circle, and Benny was Stanley's close friend. Back when Stanley had a whirlwind romance with Jessica, they were all fans of Jessica, with Benny even regarding her as Stanley's future wife.Over the past three years, Wendy had never truly integrated into their group. None of them ever accepted her.The labels they plastered on her were always the same: desperate substitute bride, ugly duckling, country bumpkin, and the like.When a man didn't love you, his friends wouldn't respect you either.Cecelia, already fuming, rolled up her sleeves, ready to confront them. "I'm going to tear their mouths apart!"Wendy quickly h

Benny was stunned. '16 years old?'The reason people in Benny's social circle held Jessica in such high regard wasn't just because of her beauty. It was also because of her exceptional academic achievements. She was a high achiever at a prestigious university, someone unmatched even among Hovendale's socialites.She deserved to be with Stanley.For any woman, beauty alone was a dead end. Beauty combined with education was the real trump card. The higher the social class, the more they valued a woman's education.Benny's initial admiration for Wendy vanished instantly. His tone became dismissive. "Wendy, did you seriously drop out of school at 16?"Wendy glanced at Jessica, who stood there with pride, and smiled faintly. "Yes, I did stop studying at 16."Benny sneered, "Well, what a coincidence. Stanley also stopped studying at 16. But he's a true prodigy, earning dual master's degrees from Harfield at that age and making history. And you? Dropped out of high school with nothing t

Stanley's genius junior had directly rejected his friend request!At that moment, Zayn walked in with a cup of coffee. When he saw the screen on Stanley's phone, he was stunned. 'Did someone actually reject the CEO's friend request?'This was certainly something out of the ordinary."Sir, your junior is…quite special," Zayn said.Stanley scoffed. 'Special indeed.'She was the first person to reject him. If she didn't want to add him, so be it. Stanley picked up the coffee and took a sip, only to frown."Is the coffee not to your liking, sir? I'll make another cup," Zayn asked.Stanley suddenly remembered the coffee Wendy used to make—it was always just right for his taste.With an impassive expression, Stanley said, "Write an eight-figure check. That's my divorce settlement for Wendy."She said she wanted to leave with nothing, but he didn't believe it for a second. A girl from the countryside who had stopped schooling at sixteen—how would she make a living? She was just playing hard

At the Crone family villa…Night had fallen. Lilian sat in the living room in a silk nightgown, waiting for Harry.In her younger years, she had been a stunning southern beauty, cherished by Jerry, who spoiled her to the point where she never had to lift a finger for household chores. Later, she remarried Harry, who inherited Jerry's business empire and expanded it further. Her role as a wealthy wife was well-established, and with her meticulous self-care, she still exuded charm despite her age.The villa's main door opened as a maid let Harry in.Lilian's face lit up with joy. She rushed to greet him, helping him remove his suit jacket. "Honey, why are you home so late?"Unlike Jerry's honest and reserved demeanor, Harry had always been dashing and flirtatious in his youth. Now, as a CEO, he carried an air of authority that made Lilian utterly infatuated with him."I had a business dinner," Harry replied casually.As he spoke, Lilian caught a familiar scent on his suit—perfume
