Chapter 273
Wendy stood there, her eyes locked on Stanley.
Stanley gave her a cold glance before turning his attention to Jessica, his voice gentle. “Let’s head back.”
He had just acknowledged it–and he did it in front of Wendy.
Jessica smiled sweetly, knowing that Wendy’s heart was likely burning with a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment. Wendy was probably suffering right now.
A country bumpkin, still thinking to compete with her? Dream on!
“Alright.”
Jessica wrapped her arm around Stanley’s, turning to leave with him.
Just as they were about to walk away, Wendy’s clear voice rang out behind them. “Stanley.”
She was calling after him.
Stanley stopped in his tracks, turning around.
Jessica smiled. “Wendy, you two are divorced now. Are you still hung up on Stanley? Want to try to win him back?”
Wendy stood tall in the corridor, her posture straight and unyielding. She didn’t acknowledge Jessica, her eyes, clear as ever, focused on Stanley’s distinguished face.
She spoke, her voice soft but resolute, “Stanley, I loved you!”
Stanley’s gaze met hers.
Wendy’s voice was melodic, yet firm. “I believe loving someone with all my heart isn’t something to be ashamed of, but it shouldn’t be the reason for you to treat me like this. Once, I truly loved you. But now, I no longer do.”
She didn’t love Stanley anymore.
Stanley’s tall, commanding figure froze for a moment.
Wendy took a step forward, her long legs carrying her closer to them.
She continued, her tone unwavering, “We’re divorced, so technically, we’re just exes. Decent exes should pretend not to recognize each other if they cross paths on the street. Better yet, see it as if we’re dead to each other. So, keep your current partner in check. Don’t strut around with her in front of me. I’m just your ex–wife, not your mother. Whether you want to get married, have kids, whatever–it’s none of my business. I don’t care.”
Jessica’s face turned red with anger. She had come over to flaunt, to see Wendy in pain. Instead, Wendy walked over with a calm and composed demeanor, flipping the script.
Jessica snapped, “Wendy, how dare you…”
Wendy stopped in front of them, a cold smile curling her lips. Her piercing gaze locked onto Jessica’s face.
“And what exactly are you bragging about? Mrs. Hawk was a title I left behind. Stanley is a man I’ve already been with. You’re so proud of picking up the scraps. I’ve never seen such a shameless rebound.”
Jessica was left speechless.
She was furious, her chest tightening in anger. Since when did Wendy get so sharp–tongued?

Without another word, Wendy turned and walked away.
But just then, someone else approached from the front it was Benny.
Benny stepped forward. “Wendy, Stanley’s already divorced you! Why do you keep showing up around him? How shameless could you–

“And you, Benny!” Wendy cut him off sharply. “You’d better lower your voice when you talk to me. Otherwise, I’ll tell everyone how you went from being a champion to a bronze after I defeated you in the mobile game, and they’ll all laugh at you!”
Benny froze for a second, then, feeling wounded, he snapped, “Wendy, you vicious woman!”
Wendy gave him a quick glance from head to toe. “I’m not even at my worst. If you keep bothering me, next time, I’ll turn you from bronze into total trash!”
What?
Benny nearly choked.
Wendy didn’t spare another glance at them. She walked off with a carefree stride.
Benny was furious. “Stanley, look at this Wendy!”
Jessica, too, was about to explode. “Stanley, look at her!”
