Chapter 210
“After Mrs. Hawk entered the hospital room, I followed your instructions and found you a virgin.”
That virgin was Luna.
Stanley’s expression remained unchanged, his face an unreadable mask. “I understand.”
He walked into the bathroom and turned on the cold shower
The icy water cascaded down from his head, and he closed his eyes, letting it wash over him.
His body was marked with several scratches, and there was deep bite mark on his shoulder. He had thought those were from Wendy, but now he realized they weren’t.
It had all been just a dream.
A dream where he imagined being with Wendy.
But she never came.
Instead, he had ended up with her classmate.’
Stanley scrubbed his skin hard, trying to erase the marks, as if washing them away would cleanse him.
With a loud bang, a heavy punch collided with the wall, sending a crack through the tiles.
Luna had finished dressing and was waiting for Stanley in the study.
Soon, Stanley walked in. He had showered and was wearing a clean white shirt and black pants. His face, once tense with emotion, now wore his usual cold, distant expression. He seemed to have returned to his composed, aloof self, his indifference as sharp as ever.
“Mr. Hawk,” Zayn greeted.
Stanley sat in his office chair, his eyes briefly flicking toward Luna. “There’s a check. Take it and leave.”
Zayn handed Luna the check.
She glanced at it, the number on it almost blinding in its magnitude.
But Luna didn’t take it. “Mr. Hawk, I don’t want money.”
She didn’t want money?
Stanley’s lips curled into a cold smile, his voice deep and devoid of warmth. “What happened is just a transaction. You came here to sell yourself, didn’t you? Don’t tell me you want to talk about feelings, and don’t you dare say you’re in love with me.”
Luna’s face paled. She knew he was indifferent, but she hadn’t expected him to be so cruel.
He looked down on her, stripping away any pretense, shattering the small bit of dignity she had. Despite everything, there was something about him–something that made it hard not to love him.
Mr. Hawk, I know you’re not interested in me, and I don’t have any unreasonable expectations. I don’t want money, but I want to join Apex Entertainment under your company. I’m in the performing arts, and I want you to give me the resources to make me a star.”

Stanley glanced at her. “Fine.”
He agreed.
Helping create a star was nothing for him. He had the power to do it easily.
Besides, he had always been generous.
“Ms. Fisher, someone from Apex Entertainment will be in touch soon to discuss the contract with you. There will be major resources–reality shows, movies, fashion, and more. You’ll also have a top–tier team to build your image and push you into the limelight,” Zayn said.
Luna’s eyes lit up. This was everything she had ever dreamed of, and now, it was finally happening.
“Thank you, Mr. Hawk.”
Stanley didn’t show much emotion.
Zayn gestured toward the door. “Ms. Fisher, this way.”
She had gotten what she wanted, and now, there was nothing more to say. Their paths would likely never cross again. Zayn escorted her out.
Luna stole one last lingering look at Stanley before she followed Zayn out of the room.
The study fell silent once more. Just then, the ring of a phone broke the quiet—an incoming call.
It was Lilian.
“Hello, Mr. Hawk. You left Jessica alone last night, and now, something’s happened! She’s in the hospital. You need to get here right away!”
