“Ahhh!”
Jessica’s scream made Stanley slam the brakes, bringing the Rolls–Royce to a sudden halt.
Jessica gasped for breath terrified out of her wits Stanley why were you driving so fast
Stanley’s face remained cold and dark. He glanced up, noticing that the Lamborghini, which had nearly caught up with them, had already zoomed past while he was stopping.
Stanley pressed his lips together Are you hurt
Jessica shook her head I m fine
She then muttered, “ I can’t believe Wendy’s caught Nathan’s eye. Did you see how she was dancing in the club? I mean, she grew
up in the countryside dropped out of school at 16 and learned all these tricks to seduce men She s completely lost herself so
shameless so self destructive
Stanley’s gaze grew cold as the image of Wendy’s soft, seductive movements in the club flashed through his mind. Jessica wasn’t
wrong–Wendy had indeed learned all those seductive techniques. Even Nathan, who was usually so hard to impress, had been
captivated by her.
“Stanley, have you divorced Wendy yet?” Jessica asked.
“Not yet .”
Jessica was taken a back Why Weren t you supposed to get divorced today
She had assumed they had already finalized it
“Grandma really likes Wendy. For the sake of her health, we’ve decided to temporarily put the divorce on hold,” Stanley replied.
Was Glinda involved?
Jessica knew Glinda disapproved of her. Glinda liked Wendy and was
tion du’s biggest su
A sense of deep unease gripped Jessica. As long as Glinda was around, it seemed like Stanley would never divorce Wendy, and she
would never become Mrs Hawk
Jessica’s frustration grew. “Stanley, why do you always listen to your grandmother? What about me? I’m getting older! A woman’s youth is the most valuable thing. How long do you expect me to wait?”
Stanley glanced at her with a cold, indifferent expression. “If you had wanted it three years ago, you could have been Mrs. Hawk by now. What does Wendy have to do with it now?”
Jessica was speechless , her frustration boiling over . She had been hit where it hurt most.

But she was clever. In an instant, she softened her posture, leaning seductively against him and reaching for his neck. “Stanley, I’m sorry. I just want to marry you so much . Don’t you want to marry me?”
Her soft words seemed to have no effect on Stanley. He gently removed her hand, his interest clearly waning “I’ll take you home
first.”
Jessica had no choice but to sit back , her eyes darkening with spite. She didn’t like waiting. She liked to take action. She had to
make Stanley divorce Wendy as soon as possible! Even Glinda couldn’t stop her!
Half an hour later , the Rolls–Royce pulled up on the lawn of the Hawk family estate. Stanley had returned home.
Stanley entered the living room, but he didn’t see Wendy . She still hadn’t come home .
He was furious. She was coming back later than him.
Given the route, Nathan should have already dropped her off. Unless…. She had gone somewhere with Nathan!
Stanley took out his phone and dialed Wendy’s number,
The phone rang once before being picked up. He clenched the phone tightly, his voice cold as he demanded, “Wendy, why aren’t. you home yet?”
Wendy s clear voice came through the phone Mr Hawk have you forgotten I told you I wouldn t go back there
Stanley’s tone grew more irritable. “How am I supposed to explain to Grandma that she can’t see you ? Wendy, come back. immediately! Why do you always run off? Who are you seeing out
there?”
