Chapter 24

Penulis: Glazed Snow
At that moment came a melodious ringtone, signaling an incoming call. It was from Stanley.

Nathan guessed that Stanley was probably urging him to come to 1996 Bar.

Nathan turned his car around. Hovendale was Stanley's turf, and once he got to 1996 Bar, all he needed was for Stanley to help him find out who owned the Ferrari.

Wendy drove into the alley, and Cecelia said cheerfully, "Wendy, you shook him off!"

Just as the words left her mouth, there was a loud collision, and the Ferrari crashed into the wall.

Bang!

Wendy's legs went weak. It had been three years since she last raced, and today, encountering such a tough opponent in a high-speed race made her heart pound.

Wendy and Cecelia got out of the car. The front of the Ferrari had been dented.

"Wendy, what should we do now?" Cecelia said, her legs shaking.

Wendy steadied herself. "It's fine. I'll call Stanley's secretary and have him handle it."

She dialed Zayn's number.

    Stanley lowered his gaze to the photo, and his deep, cold eyes narrowed sharply. He recognized this Ferrari.Looking at Nathan, Stanley asked, "Was the woman driving this car?"Nathan nodded. "Yeah, she even shook me off. She's quite interesting."Stanley, if he recalled correctly, had given Wendy this Ferrari. In addition to a huge check, he had also given her some cars and houses. At that time, Zayn had told him that she had only chosen a Ferrari. He had found it strange—why would she drive a sports car?Stanley knew about Nathan's driving skills. In fact, they occasionally raced cars together. But Wendy was from the countryside—how could she have driven a sports car and even shaken off Nathan?Just then, Zayn walked over. "Sir."Stanley stood up. "I'll step out for a moment."Stanley left the luxurious booth and stood in a dim corner. Zayn whispered, "Sir, Mrs. Hawk called earlier. She went out tonight in the Ferrari. It seems like she raced someone on the road, and the car c

    All eyes in 1996 Bar were drawn to Jessica as she dazzled the crowd with her confidence. Spinning gracefully, she moved right in front of Stanley, reaching out and pulling him up. Stanley, tall and with long legs, stood still, while Jessica, with her soft body, pressed against him and performed a seductive dance.The chemistry between the handsome man and the beautiful woman, coupled with the sizzling dance, sent the bar's atmosphere to a fever pitch.At this moment, Wendy and Cecelia entered. Wendy immediately spotted Stanley and Jessica.The two of them stood in the center of the colorful lights, with Jessica pressed up against Stanley, and his gaze fixed on her. They were the focus of the entire room.Cecelia immediately sneered, "Tsk, dancing so intimately with a married man—she really has no shame!"Wendy smiled and replied, "Stanley and Jessica have always been the golden couple. Let it go, don't mind them."Wendy and Cecelia made their way to their booth, but Cecelia cou

    Nathan immediately recognized Wendy.Jessica hadn't expected Wendy to be on the dance floor, especially not dancing so provocatively. Wendy's graceful figure swayed with the music, her movements so relaxed and natural that her body effortlessly formed a seductive curve. Her hips swayed provocatively, reminiscent of the famous hip thrusts seen in pop girl groups.As a dancer herself, Jessica couldn't help but admit that Wendy danced better than her. Wendy was more precise, more alluring, and, if she were honest, more seductive.The men in 1996 Bar couldn't take their eyes off Wendy, some even whistling and shouting in admiration. The room was buzzing with excitement, and the men's gazes spoke volumes.Jessica clenched her jaw. Could this country bumpkin dance too? She, the lead dancer of a ballet troupe, was now being outshined effortlessly by Wendy, who seemed to be stealing the spotlight with little effort.Why was it always her?At that moment, Jessica felt a shift at her waist

    Wendy chose to ignore him. "I don't know him."With those four words, Stanley's lips curled into a mocking smile, silently ridiculing Wendy.Wendy didn't know Nathan, but Cecelia did. It seemed like a good show was about to unfold. Nathan was Stanley's best friend.Cecelia chuckled. "Nathan, I think we should skip the drink. Wendy needs to head home."Nathan immediately grabbed his car keys. "Then I'll drive you both."Nathan followed Wendy and Cecelia as they walked away.As the three of them left, Benny and the other rich heirs started to murmur in disbelief. "What's going on? Does Nathan have an eye for Wendy?""But Wendy is still married to Stanley. Does that mean Stanley is going to get cheated on by his wife and his best friend?" Benny asked. Just as Benny finished speaking, Stanley's sharp gaze landed on him, his eyes like daggers. Benny immediately fell silent.Stanley grabbed his car keys. "You guys enjoy yourselves. I'm leaving."Sienna helplessly tugged at Jessica

    "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 capti

    The phone clicked off with two beeps, and Stanley was left staring at the screen in stunned silence.That damned woman actually hung up on him!At that moment, the butler Freddy walked over. Stanley gave him an order, "Freddy, call Wendy and tell her that Grandma isn't feeling well. We need her to come back immediately!"Freddy was momentarily taken aback. "But, sir, your grandmother has already taken the medicine Mrs. Hawk prepared and is resting. She's feeling fine."Stanley's temper flared, his voice deep and dangerous. "Tell a lie! Don't you get it?"Freddy hesitated again, clearly uncomfortable. "Sir, isn't it a bit harsh to lie to Mrs. Hawk? Over these past three years, she has been taking care of both you and your grandmother. She's been very hard-working. Let her go out and relax tonight, it won't hurt."Stanley's gaze was icy, his voice like a blade. "Freddy, are you going to make the call or not?"Perhaps Stanley's glare was too intense, because Freddy immediately pull

    Although Wendy had a troubled childhood, she never lost the courage to love. Whether it was Lilian or Stanley, she had always loved them passionately and actively. Loving someone didn't mean being humble or inferior, and it certainly didn't give anyone the right to mistreat her, especially when she didn't love anymore. She no longer loved Stanley.Stanley studied her serene face with cold eyes, his lips twisting into a mocking smile. "You really don't love me anymore?""Yes—mmph!" Wendy started to answer, but before she could finish, he leaned down and forcefully pressed his lips to hers.Her mind exploded, a rush of blankness filling her thoughts. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she realized he had unexpectedly kissed her.It wasn't their first kiss, but the last time in the shower, she had pulled him in and kissed him. Now, it was him kissing her.Wendy immediately struggled, raising her hands to push him away. "Stanley, let me go!"Stanley's strong, broad frame pressed he

    This man!Wendy was furious. She stood on her tiptoes and bit the corner of Stanley's lip."Ugh!" Stanley winced in pain, a faint taste of blood filling his mouth. She had drawn blood with that bite.He grabbed her face, squeezing it until her lips formed an "O" shape. His eyes were full of anger. "What are you, a dog? Do you always have to bite people?"Wendy shot him a defiant look. "You should be thinking about how to explain that cut on your lip to Jessica tomorrow. Even though Nathan took your place, isn't Jessica stuck with my second-hand goods?"Stanley stared at her, speechless.Second-hand goods? This damned woman!"We can hook up with other people, but you can't be with Nathan!" "Why?" Wendy asked, her voice calm but mocking.In truth, Stanley saw Nathan as a good friend. He couldn't stand the thought of it. He looked Wendy up and down with disdain. "You think Nathan would be interested in you? Keep dreaming! You only know how to shake your hips on the dance flo

    Halsey was stunned, her eyes wide with shock as she stared at Cyril. "Are you serious?"Cyril smiled lightly. "Of course I am. But like I said, you need to ask him if he's willing. Maybe he doesn't want to be your tutor, or maybe he doesn't want to manage the company."Halsey frowned, confused. "What are you really trying to say?"Cyril sighed softly. "Maybe Dwight's path in life is one of constant risk—always on the edge, unable to settle down. He might not be able to offer you the kind of stable future you're looking for."Cyril had personally recruited Dwight years ago, but once Dwight entered college, he began skipping classes. Cyril didn't want such a promising young man to waste his potential, so he had tried reaching out to him privately several times.With his connections and resources, Cyril could have helped Dwight enter academia or the business world. Dwight was smart; he could easily make a name for himself.Yet, Dwight had refused every time. That was when Cyril re

    Dwight looked at Cyril and called out, "Hello, Professor Lincoln."Cyril was a professor, and Dwight was one of his students. They knew each other.Cyril gave a small nod and then extended his hand toward Halsey. "Let's go home."Halsey glanced at Dwight. She had planned on having him take her home, but now that her father was here, she had no choice but to go with him.Halsey walked over to Cyril's side.Cyril looked at Dwight and said kindly, "It's late. Why don't you come with us? I'll give you a ride."Dwight politely declined. "Thanks, Professor Lincoln, but I can head home on my own."Cyril nodded. "Alright. Be careful on the road. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call me."With that, Cyril turned to leave, taking Halsey with him.Halsey turned her head and waved a small goodbye to Dwight, reluctant to part ways.Dwight stood there, watching them as they left.-Inside the luxury car, Halsey sat beside Cyril as the driver navigated the road ahead.

    Halsey's legs wobbled, and although her arms were still wrapped around Dwight's neck, her delicate body went soft against his chest.Dwight's arms tightened around her slender waist. He lifted her and pressed her gently against him.Halsey's face turned bright red as she pushed him away.Their lips parted, and Dwight looked at her, her lips glistening from the kiss. In a low voice, he asked, "What's wrong?"Halsey's big, watery eyes flickered nervously, and she quickly glanced at his pants. "You're pressing against me."Dwight froze, unsure of what to say.Halsey, to her surprise, noticed a faint blush spreading across his face. She never expected someone as stoic and cold as him to blush.She smiled mischievously. "Are you blushing?""I'm not," he replied quickly, trying to hide his embarrassment."You're definitely blushing!" she teased, reaching out as if to touch his cheek.Dwight moved back slightly. "Stop messing around."Halsey leaned in close to his ear, her voice dr

    Halsey was sure Dwight understood what she meant. And yet, he had the nerve to proudly admit he had taken more than one girl on his bike!Dwight didn't move, and Halsey's fist landed directly on his chest.It was solid.Halsey winced, feeling the pain in her hand. She quickly pulled it back, annoyed. "Are you made of stone or something? Your muscles are so hard. My hand hurts now."Dwight looked at her delicate hand, noting the slight redness on her fingers. He gave a small smirk. "Why did you hit me?"Halsey shot him a glare, still fuming. "What do you think?""I don't know," Dwight replied.Halsey raised an eyebrow. "Playing dumb, huh? Tell me: who are the girls you've taken on your bike?"Dwight looked at her, his expression unreadable. "My mom and my sister."Halsey's breath caught, and her face, usually pale, immediately turned bright red. She had thought he meant other girls, but instead, it was his mother and Madeline.Halsey was at a loss for words.Dwight watched

    Jessica and Lilian were already daydreaming about the future.Jessica's smile could light up the room. "This is amazing! I can't wait for Wendy to perform my surgery," she said, her voice full of excitement.-Stanley stood alone in the corridor, not leaving right away. Instead, he lingered, standing there in silence.The light in the hospital corridor was dim, casting a soft glow on his broad shoulders, enveloping him in a faint shadow. Just then, Zayn approached. "Mr. Hawk, are we heading back to the company tonight or to Royale Residences?"Stanley barely moved, his lips curling slightly. "You head back first.""Alright, Mr. Hawk," Zayn responded, then turned and left.Stanley walked over to the window. His mind echoed with the memory of Wendy and Samuel's phone call. Wendy had said she didn't want to stay in Hovendale anymore. She was leaving, and Samuel would take her away.She was carrying Samuel's child. They would be happy together, wouldn't they?On the other hand

    Halsey was thrilled. She knew Wendy had a way of dealing with Jessica, the impostor.Just thinking about how Jessica had been pretending to be Wendy and throwing her weight around infuriated Halsey. The day Wendy exposed Jessica for who she really was would be nothing short of spectacular.But...Halsey looked at Wendy, a serious expression crossing her face. "What about Mr. Hawk? What are you planning to do with him?" Stanley still had no idea that the girl who had saved him all those years ago was actually Wendy. How would he react when he found out? What would Wendy do when that day came?Wendy's voice was soft as she answered, "I'm tired. Loving Stanley all these years has been exhausting."She wanted to leave. She had never really belonged here, but because Stanley was here, she had stayed. Now, she was ready to go."But for all these years, he's been completely deceived by Jessica. He's been blind to the truth, but he's also a victim. He doesn't know it's you," Halsey s

    "Are you okay, Samuel? Have you been eating well? Is anyone bothering you?" Wendy asked.Stanley watched Wendy as she spoke, her face filled with genuine concern for Samuel. The worry and care were unmistakable, no trace of it being forced.Stanley turned away, unwilling to look or listen."I'm fine. Don't worry." Samuel's voice came through the phone, light and teasing. "Mr. Hawk has been treating me really well since he brought me here. I think I've even gained a little weight."Wendy knew Samuel was just trying to comfort her. A small smile tugged at her lips. "Hang in there. I've agreed to perform the surgery on Jessica. Once it's done, you'll be free."There was a pause on the other end. Samuel didn't ask why—he always supported whatever decision Wendy made. "Alright. Don't worry about me. I'm doing just fine."Wendy held the phone, her eyes lost in the view of the twinkling city lights outside the window. "After the surgery, let's get out of Hovendale. I don't want to stay

    At the mention of those past events, Stanley's usually sharp features softened. "Yes, it was many years ago. I was severely injured and wandered into a forest. It was Jessica who saved me. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here today. She's the one who gave me a second chance at life."Wendy couldn't help but laugh, a bitter chuckle escaping her lips. She couldn't even put her feelings into words, only feeling a deep ache in her chest; a mixture of sharp pain and a strange, tingling sensation.She had always thought he had forgotten.She had always believed he had forgotten her.In reality, he had never forgotten.He still remembered her.All these years, he had kept her in his heart.To know that the love had been reciprocated—it was such a beautiful thing, even if he had mistaken the person.Wendy tilted her head back, her small face gazing up at him. "Do you remember the words you said in that cave?"Stanley nodded. "I told her I would take her with me, that I would gi

    Stanley tried to gently push Jessica away, but she held on tightly. She tilted her head back, offering Wendy a bright, triumphant smile as she lay in his arms. It was both a taunt and a display of her smug satisfaction.Wendy's expression remained neutral, giving nothing away.Jessica continued to look at Wendy, a playful edge in her voice. "Did you come to see me?"Wendy didn't respond. Instead, her gaze shifted to Stanley. "Mr. Hawk, I need to talk to you."Stanley hadn't expected Wendy to approach him so directly. He started to rise from the bed.But Jessica clung to him, not letting him go. "Stanley, don't leave me! My heart's still bothering me..."Halsey, growing impatient, snapped, "Enough with the theatrics!"Still, Jessica wouldn't let go of Stanley. "Please, you promised you'd stay with me. I don't want you to leave."Stanley frowned, clearly frustrated. "Let go. I'll be back in a minute.""No," she whined. "I won't let you leave."Jessica threw a defiant look in
