Chapter 224
“Enough! Stop!” Wendy cut him off, her voice trembling with anger. She didn’t want to hear anymore.
Not a word more.
Stanley sneered, his eyes hard with a cruel gleam. He wanted Wendy to listen–to make her remember that all of this, everything he was saying, was because she had pushed him away.
She had turned him down, so he gave everything she didn’t want to someone else–someone like Luna.
He released her sharply, his voice cold as ice. “Fine. If you want a divorce, you’ll get it. We’ll go tomorrow. If it weren’t for Grandma, I would’ve kicked you out of the Mrs. Hawk position a long time ago. There’s a line of women waiting outside!”
Wendy’s heart ached, her fingers curling into delicate fists as she held back her tears. “Then I’ll see you tomorrow at 9:00 AM, outside the clerk’s office.”
Without another word, Wendy turned and left, not looking back.
Stanley’s gaze followed her retreating figure, his face cold and distant.
Fine, he would get a divorce.
He had already made up his mind to distance himself, to end it all.
Their marriage had long since run its course.
Just then, his phone rang, and Zayn’s voice came through.
“Mr. Hawk, Ms. Fisher fell from the wire today. The person who cut the wire is still in the police station. Ms. Fisher doesn’t want to let the culprit off easily. She wants them to stay there for life.”
Stanley’s mood soured even further. His patience with Luna was at its breaking point.
“Let her handle it however she wants,” he said coldly.
“Got it, Mr. Hawk.”
In the girls‘ dorm, Halsey was fuming, her face red with anger.
“What?! Stanley’s the one supporting Luna? He’s the one behind all the resources, making Luna into a star? Has he lost his mind?
“Does he even remember he’s married? Isn’t it enough that he’s got Jessica? Now Luna’s involved too? Doesn’t he know Luna is your classmate? Could he be any more disgusting?
“No wonder Luna has been acting so smug and passive–aggressive in front of you, always trying to undermine you. You thought she was your friend, but she’s been eyeing your husband the whole time. She’s a monster!”
Halsey was livid throwing insults at both Stanley and Luna
Meanwhile, Wendy was still focused on Cecelia. She quickly sent a WhatsApp message to Samuel.
[Please arrange a lawyer for me. I need to bail Cecelia out of the police station.]
Samuel replied with an “OK” and a promise to handle it.

Wendy collapsed onto her bed, the weight of the situation pressing down on her. She knew she had dragged Cecelia into this mess–Luna was targeting her. She had to get Cecelia out, no matter what.
As for Stanley, his words still echoed in her mind, clear as day.
This time, he had truly broken her heart. Wendy had run out of patience and disappointment. She was done.
She never wanted anything to do with him again.
Tomorrow, she would finally divorce him.

The next morning, Wendy left Clavendale University and headed straight for the clerk’s office.
At 9:00 AM, she and Stanley had arranged to meet for their divorce.
She didn’t want to wait a second longer.
Samuel had already sent a lawyer, Leonard Chapman, to the police station. As soon as Wendy and Stanley got their divorce certificate, they would head there..
Half an hour later, Wendy arrived outside the clerk’s office, standing and waiting for a moment. Soon enough, the familiar sleek Rolls–Royce Phantom appeared, speeding toward her.
Stanley had arrived.
Wendy hadn’t expected her marriage to end like this.
But today, she and Stanley were finally getting a divorce.
