The highly anticipated pairing had already stolen all the attention, overshadowing everything else.
Jessica’s heart burned with jealousy, consumed by a deep resentment toward this genius freshman.
At that moment, Sienna suddenly exclaimed, “Look, Wendy’s here!”
Stanley, holding a glass of wine, wasn’t in the best of moods tonight. He was indifferent to everything around him. But when he heard Sienna, he looked up, his sharp, handsome eyes glimmering
He saw Wendy.
Tonight, Wendy wore a sleeveless black dress. The tight fit accentuated her slender waist, and the puffed–out skirt made her long, white legs stand out even more. As she entered, she immediately caught the attention of
many.
Her long, jet–black hair flowed smoothly down her back, and a sweater hung casually from her arms. From his angle, he could only see her profile, which made her already delicate features look even smaller. Her pale, translucent skin gave her an ethereal, almost otherworldly quality.
That aura of hers–no one in Hovendale could replicate it.
Jessica noticed Wendy too, her eyes lighting up.
She had always seen the genius freshman as her competition, secretly competing and feeling jealous. But now, with this country girl in her sight, she suddenly felt an overwhelming surge of superiority.
Smiling, she said, “I heard Wendy was terribly sick recently Looks like she’s recovered now.”
Sienna snorted dismissively. “Stanley’s been wanting a divorce for a while. It’s about time. Honestly, it’s a favor to her that he hasn’t done it sooner. Can’t believe she fell sick for that.”
Benny, who had never liked Wendy, watched her closely. “Well, now it’s over. They’re divorced. Stanley, when do I get to attend your wedding with Jessica?”
The rich kids around them started to tease. “Guess we should start calling her Mrs. Hawk now.”
Jessica beamed with pride.
Stanley glanced at Wendy, his expression unreadable. He turned away before taking a long sip from his wine glass, draining it in one go.
Wendy and Halsey had come to the bar to relax. After having a drink or two, Wendy went to the restroom.
In the hallway, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
Wendy looked up–it was Jessica.
Jessica smiled brightly, her lips curling up in a mockingly sweet grin. “Wendy, I heard you were really sick after your divorce from Stanley. Are you feeling better now?”
Wendy’s gaze was icy. “Jessica, I don’t think we’re close enough for small talk. If you have something to say, just “say it.”
Jessica, holding a bag in her hand, continued with a smug expression. “This bag is a limited edition. Stanley took me to buy it.”
Wendy raised an eyebrow. “And?”

“This bag isn’t for me,” Jessica said, her smile growing wider. “It’s a gift for the youngest daughter of the Lincoln family, Bebe.”
Wendy said nothing. She knew that the Lincoln family was stanley’s maternal side, but Stanley had never introduced her to them.
She waited, silently, for Jessica to continue.
Jessica studied Wendy, not wanting to miss a single expression on her face. “Glinda likes you, I’ll admit that. But Stanley plans to introduce me to Bebe, to the Lincoln family. Stanley and I are both working on this, Wendy. We’re planning to get married.”
Jessica and Stanley were planning to get married.”
Just then, a tall and handsome figure appeared in her line of sight. Stanley had arrived.
Jessica walked over to him, sweetly looping her arm through his strong one. “Stanley, I told Wendy that we’re getting married.”
