Wendy lifted her foot, ready to step forward.
Just then, the sound of a phone ringing broke the tension. It was Leonard calling.
“Hello, Ms. Crone. There’s been a problem at the police station. You need to come right away!”
Wendy’s heart sank. Had something bad happened to Cecelia?
Without another thought, she turned and ran.

When Wendy arrived at the police station, Leonard quickly rushed to meet her. “Ms. Crone.”
“What’s going on with Cecelia?” Wendy’s voice was tight with concern.
However, she was cut off as her eyes fell on a familiar figure. Luna was here.
Luna, as always, was decked out in high–end brands, surrounded by her entourage. Today, she had even brought along two lawyers with her.
Luna approached Wendy with a smirk, her lips curling in a mocking smile. “Wendy, I heard you came to bail Cecelia out. Well, forget about it! Your dear friend is going to spend the rest of her life there. She’ll never get out.”
Leonard lowered his voice as he said to Wendy, “Ms. Crone, Luna brought two lawyers with her–both are top–tier lawyers from Hawk Group. Hawk Group’s legal team is one of the best in the country, undefeated. They’ve already rejected our bail request. With their intervention, the situation for Ms. Sunder looks very grim.”
Wendy’s gaze turned cold as she realized just how far Stanley was willing to go to back up Luna.
Luna eyed Wendy with a smug expression. “Wendy, you must know by now about Mr. Hawk and me, right? I’m sorry, really. I know Mr. Hawk is your husband, but he doesn’t love you. You know how it is… Mr. Hawk and I, we couldn’t help ourselves.”
Wendy didn’t say anything and just stared at her in silence.
Luna lowered her voice and let out a soft laugh. “Wendy, I also know that not long ago, you and Mr. Hawk finally consummated your marriage.”
Wendy’s heart skipped a beat. “How do you know that?”
Luna raised an eyebrow. “Oh, Mr. Hawk told me, of course.”
Stanley had told her that?
“Wendy, Mr. Hawk also told me that you’re rather boring in bed. You lack any charm. He only slept with you once, and he doesn’t want to do it again. But me? I’m different. I make Mr. Hawk very happy. He says I’m his little minx. He says he loves me.”
Wendy felt like the ground beneath her was crumbling.
Did Stanley really say that?
“Wendy, Mr. Hawk is amazing. I want to be with him. You’re my best friend, and I know you’ll understand and support me.”
With that, Luna turned on her heel, her entourage following behind her, leaving Wendy standing there alone.

Leonard’s voice pulled Wendy from her thoughts. “Ms. Crone, if we try to go up against Hank Group directly, we won’t win. The only way to get Cecelia out is to go to Mr. Hawk.”
Go to Stanley?
Wendy almost laughed at the absurdity of it.
Just then, another phone rang, pulling her attention back.
She glanced at her phone–Stanley was calling.
She hesitated for a moment before answering.
“Wendy, I’m already at the clerk’s office,” Stanley’s voice came through, cold and irritated. “I’ve been waiting for you. Where are you?”
Wendy’s fingers tightened around her phone. She almost forgot about their divorce appointment. She quickly tried to explain. “Mr. Hawk, I have something urgent to deal with right now, so I-”
“Wendy, what kind of game are you playing now?” Stanley interrupted, his tone sharp and impatient. “You’re the one who wanted the divorce, and now you’re making excuses? I don’t have time to play these stupid games with you!”
So, this was how he saw her?
She couldn’t confront him just yet. She had to talk to him about Cecelia.
