Chapter 243
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 her .
But Jessica ? That was a different story .
“ M – Ms . Crone , hello … ” Luna stammered .
Jessica gave Luna a slow once – over . “ So , you’re the woman who spent a night with Stanley ? I heard he’s been throwing all kinds of resources your way , turning you into a big star . ”
“ I … ” Luna faltered , unsure of how to respond .
Jessica scoffed . “ Now , I’m sure plenty of men are after you . Since you love sleeping around with men so much , how about I send you to the red – light district to work as a prostitute ? What do you think of that ? ”
Luna trembled , her voice barely a whisper . “ Please , Ms. Crone , don’t … ”
Jessica looked at Luna coldly , like she was nothing more than an insect . She had never imagined that this cheap woman had benefited from the aphrodisiac incense she had used on Stanley .
Just the thought of this woman climbing into Stanley’s bed made Jessica seethe with rage . She wished Luna would just disappear .
Jessica shot a look at the two bodyguards . “ Take her away . ”
“ Got it , Ms. Crone . ”
The bodyguards stepped forward , grabbing Luna once more
Luna realized she had crossed paths with someone ruthless and dangerous . Fear drained the color from her face . She panicked and threw herself at Jessica’s feet , desperately pleading , “ Ms. Crone , you’ve got it all wrong ! The woman who was with Mr. Hawk that night wasn’t me — it was Wendy ! ”
Jessica froze , her face momentarily blank . “ What did you say ? ”
“ I was just pretending to be her ! Wendy slept with Mr. Hawk that night – she gave him her virginity . ”

Jessica gasped , her face full of disbelief . Wendy ? Wendy had climbed into Stanley’s bed that night and consummated their marriage ?

No wonder Wendy had passed out from an allergic reaction to the morning after pill . It wasn’t for Nathan – she had taken it for Stanley !
How could this be ? Why Wendy ?
Jealousy surged through Jessica , burning away all her rational thoughts . She pressed her hand to her chest as her heart ached .
Just then , Lilian entered the room . “ Jessica , are you alright ? ”
“ Mom , did you hear that ? It was Wendy ! ” Jessica’s voice was tight with fury .
Lilian’s face darkened . No matter how much she had tried to stop it , she couldn’t prevent Wendy from getting into Stanley’s bed .
“ Jessica , calm down . ”
“ Calm down ? How can I calm down ?! Wendy slept with Stanley ! She’s never been with any man before – that was her first time ! Luna’s been pretending to be Wendy , and Stanley’s thrown so many resources her way . Those should have been for Wendy ! I can’t even imagine what Stanley will do when he finds out the truth about her ! ” Stanley had already developed a soft spot for Wendy . If he found out that Wendy had given him her first time , how would he react ?
