Chapter 223
Stanley’s face turned cold in an instant. He had never forgotten about her taking the morning–after pill for Nathan. The lack of contact between them these past few weeks was his way of slowly distancing himself.
But today, she came back to the family estate for dinner. He thought she was softening, maybe even trying to make amends.
And yet, what was she saying?
She said she wanted a divorce, and that she couldn’t wait another day.
Did she think he had the patience to deal with her?
Stanley’s eyes sharpened, cold as knives, as he grabbed her slender arm. “Wendy, you came back tonight just to make me miserable, didn’t you?”
Wendy immediately jerked away from his grip. “Don’t touch me with your filthy hands!”
What did she say?
She tilted her face up, meeting his dark, threatening gaze, her voice cold and steady as she enunciated, “Stanley, you are absolutely disgusting.”
Disgusting in a way she couldn’t stand anymore.
Stanley’s temples pulsed with veins. His grip tightened around her delicate neck as he pushed her roughly against the Rolls Royce Phantom. “Wendy, are you tired of living?”
Wendy almost laughed bitterly at herself. She had actually believed that there might be a sliver of affection for her from him.
But there was nothing–nothing at all.
Not only that, he had humiliated her beyond belief.
That night, she had given him her first time, and he had treated her cruelly. And now, just a short time later, he was supporting her classmate, Luna, as her sugar daddy.
Of all the women out there, why did he have to choose her classmate?
Wendy felt sick to her stomach.
Her eyes, usually so composed, were red–rimmed as she glared at him without fear. “Stanley, even if you strangle me to death, I’ll still think you’re disgusting! I want a divorce tomorrow. I’m done with being Mrs. Hawk.”
Stanley’s anger exploded. His chest rose and fell rapidly as his cold gaze turned into something much darker.
She thought he was disgusting?
He felt the same about her. After all, how many men had she been with?
He fought to control the rage and bitterness rising inside him.
“What exactly do you mean by disgusting? Explain yourself” he demanded.
“Didn’t you sleep with Luna?”
The mention of Luna’s name caused Stanley to freeze. She knew?

She had figured it out.
He had warned Luna varlier because he didn’t want Wendy to know. He couldn’t explain why, but he just didn’t want her to know that he had been with her classmate.
He had also braced himself for her reaction once she found out, but he never imagined she would have the audacity to accuse him of being filthy.
Stanley released her neck but grabbed her chin instead. He forced her to look up at him, her face tilted in an almost worshipful angle as his lips curled into a mocking smile. “Isn’t this exactly what you wanted? Didn’t you tell me to go find another woman?”
What was he talking about?
Wendy didn’t quite understand.
Stanley’s smile widened, his hand reaching up to pat her cheek lightly. “What are you pretending for, Wendy? When I came after you, you rejected me. Now, what gives you the right to accuse me of sleeping with someone else? Let me tell you something: Luna’s very good at taking care of me. She knows exactly how to please me.”
Wendy didn’t understand everything he was saying, but the last words cut through her like a knife.
Luna was good at taking care of him.
Luna knew how to please him.
Wendy felt a sharp pain in her chest, as though a dagger had been twisted in her heart.
Stanley was doing this on purpose. He was intentionally hurting her.
He forced her against the cold, expensive car, his voice almost taunting as he continued, “Luna was a virgin, pure and clean. Once she was with me, I made sure she had everything she could possibly want–luxury homes, sports cars, endless resources… I gave it all to her and turned her into a star.”
