Chapter 242
Wendy wrapped Cecelia in a big hug. “Cecelia, I’m sorry you had to go through all that these past couple of days.”
Cecelia looked perfectly fine, her spirits high. “I had it easy in there–good food, good sleep. Everything was just fine.”
The three of them shared a laugh.
Just then, Luna approached and shot Wendy a venomous glare. Originally, she had planned to use Cecelia to annoy Wendy, but instead, Wendy had turned the tables on her. She couldn’t accept that, and it stung.
Luna knew Stanley had feelings for Wendy, especially after that night. The woman who had slept with Stanley was Wendy. That was why, when she saw that text from Wendy Luna had panicked.
She sent people to find out more, and sure enough, Wendy had gone to Hawk Group to meet Stanley. Not long after that, Stanley had taken her away in his luxury car.
Luna had been terrified. The only thing left for her to do was go to the police station and rescind her statement, getting Cecelia released.
Her sweet, innocent face twisted with resentment as she glared at Wendy. “Wendy, you knew full well that I was with Mr. Hawk, yet you still went after him. You really have no shame-”
“Luna.” Wendy cut her off, her eyes pointing toward the outside. “Mr. Hawk’s out there. Be a good girl so he won’t see your dark side.”
Luna turned, and her eyes landed on the Rolls–Royce Phantom parked outside.
The world–class luxury car stood in the dim light, its presence understated yet mysterious. Though Luna couldn’t see inside, she felt a chill run down her spine. She could almost feel the icy gaze of someone watching her.
Her expression shifted instantly, from venom to a pitiful, helpless look.
That was when she heard a soft, mocking sound. Luna turned, and her gaze met Wendy’s eyes.
Wendy stood under the bright lights, her clever and lively eyes staring at Luna, piercing through her every mask, seeing all the deception.
Luna’s face drained of color.
Halsey chuckled softly. “You really are a good actress, aren’t you?”
Cecelia stepped forward and nudged Luna’s shoulder. “You know fully well you’re a homewrecker. It’s best not to let your dirty little secrets get out–otherwise, your ‘pure‘ image will quickly turn into that of a seductress.”
Luna clenched her fist.
Wendy called out, “Cecelia, Halsey, let’s go.”
“Alright.”
Wendy, Cecelia, and Halsey turned to leave.
Luna’s anger simmered, but she didn’t dare to lash out for fear Stanley would see.
She walked outside and approached the Rolls–Royce Phantom. At that moment, the window slowly rolled down, revealing Stanley’s perfect face.
“Mr. Hawk, Wendy and I are friends. Even though Cecelia tried to harm me, I still let her go…” Luna tried to

explain, attempting to establish herself as the innocent, kind–hearted one.
Stanley lounged casually, his long fingers resting on the steering wheel. He lifted his gaze and glanced at Luna with a cold, expressionless look before speaking in a detached voice. “Was that really you that night?”
Luna froze, not quite understanding the question. “What?”
Stanley’s voice turned colder. “The woman who was with me at Imperial Garden that night–was that really you?” Luna’s heart skipped a beat. Why was he asking her that? Did he know something?
Had he figured out that the woman that night wasn’t her, but Wendy? Did he realize she had been pretending to be Wendy all along?
Luna forced herself to calm down. “Mr. Hawk… Of course it was me.
Stanley’s sharp gaze locked onto hers, catching the brief flicker of guilt in her eyes. His expression grew colder, more cutting.
