"Ahhh!"


    Jessica''s scream made Stanley m 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 nced 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''spletely lost herself-so


    shameless, so self-destructive!"


    Stanley''s gaze grew cold as the image of Wendy''s soft, seductive movements in the club shed 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 aback. "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 be 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 nced 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 hourter, the Rolls-Royce pulled up on thewn of the Hawk family estate. Stanley had returned home.


    Stanley entered the living room, but he didn''t see Wendy. She still hadn''te home.


    He was furious. She wasing backter 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 exin to Grandma


    that she can''t see you? Wendy,e back. immediately! Why do you always run off? Who are you seeing out


    there?"
