"Benny, why are you looking at me like that? Are you doubting me? Do you think I wanted to blow you up too?


    "Hey, we''re friends! It hurts me to see you doubt me like this. I can''t believe how much you''ve changed!


    "Why didn''t youe back in time anyway? Did you hurt Wendy on the yacht?"


    Jessica was clever. She hit Benny with a direct emotional appeal, questioning him first.


    Benny hadn''t hurt Wendy on the yacht. His face softened. "That''s not what I meant."


    "We need to stay united. Don''t let Wendye between us," Jessica urged, trying to regain


    control of the situation.


    Wendy started packing her things, preparing to fly back to Hovendale.


    Once her bags were packed, she stepped outside to look for the others. It was then that she spotted Jessica in the corridor.


    Jessica had been waiting for her.


    Wendy wasn''t surprised, and walked toward her.


    Jessica smiled. "I''m so d you''re back safely. I was really worried about you."


    Wendy smirked. "Were you behind this?"


    "I don''t know what you''re talking about. Everything should be based on evidence. Otherwise, I could sue you for defamation."


    Jessica not only acted confidently, but she also stepped forward, deliberately provoking Wendy. Her attitude seemed to say, "What are you going to do about it?"

    Wendy wasn''t angry at all. Instead, she winked yfully and said nonchntly, "Actually, I should thank you, Jessica. You know, true feelings show in times of crisis. I was in danger, and luckily, Mr. Hawk saved me. You don''t know this, but when Benny and I were in that vige, it was really dangerous. If Mr. Hawk hadn''t arrived, we might not have made it


    back."


    Wendy''s words struck a nerve with Jessica, whose smile quickly vanished. A cold, furious


    re reced it as she stared at Wendy.


    Wendy took a couple of steps forward, her voice filled with amusement as she said, "By the way, Jessica, did Mr. Hawk tell you that he and I spent the night together?"


    What?


    Jessica froze. "You and Stanley... slept together?"


    Wendy nodded. "Yup."


    Jessica''s face turned pale with rage.


    "Why the long face? You were the one who pushed me into his arms in the first ce."


    Jessica''s chest began to rise and fall with anger. She clenched her fists and spat out, "You''re disgusting!"


    "I''m disgusting? I learned from the best! When you face a shameless opponent, what can you do? You have to be even more shameless. I''m just using your tricks to defeat you!"


    Jessica ground her teeth in frustration. As she looked up, she saw a tall,


    handsome figure approaching. Stanley had arrived.


    "Stanley!" Jessica called out, trying to regain herposure.


    Wendy turned around and saw him too.


    Stanley had showered and was now wearing a clean white shirt and a ck suit, looking elegant and poised. He stood tall in the corridor, backlit by the light. It was clear that he had


    been there for a while, listening to their conversation.


    He walked toward them with long strides.

    Jessica watched him, fuming. "Stanley, Wendy just told me that you slept with her! Is that true?"


    Stanley''s gaze fell on Wendy''s face.


    Wendy hadn''t expected him to show up, but she had done nothing wrong. She


    looked back at him with calm, clear eyes, unbothered.


    Stanley nodded. "It''s true."


    He admitted it without hesitation.


    "I know Wendy must have seduced you!" Jessica yelled. "She''s nothing but a


    shameless seductress!"
