Upon that thought, Wendy quickly turned to leave. However, Stanley blocked her path.
“Don’t you have anything to say to me?” he demanded.
Wendy looked up at him with her clear, sharp eyes. “About what?”
Stanley pressed his lips together and then replied, his voice tinged with curiosity, “The luxury car you’re driving, the mansion you’re living in–where did they come from, and whose money are you spending?”

Wendy straightened her slender back, exuding confidence. “Just know it isn’t your money. I don’t think I have to explain the rest to you.”
She tried to step past him.
But Stanley, tall and imposing, stood like a wall, refusing to let her pass.
Wendy smirked slightly, her lips curling in amusement. “I know you’re very curious. Just like Jessica and the others, you probably think I’m just a housewife, living off the divorce
settlement you gave me, with no way to earn money on my own.”
Stanley had indeed thought this way, as it was true that Wendy didn’t have a job.
“You’re highly educated and talented. Before, you focused on taking care of me, but now I can help you. If you’re interested in a particular industry, I can arrange a job for you, or even help you start your own business.”
Stanley knew very little about Wendy–other than the fact that she was a genius. That was
all he knew.
Wendy studied him carefully. The man in front of her was undeniably handsome and had an allure that could captivate any woman. He would offer money, career opportunities, and resources after a divorce–anything she needed, he would provide.
Wendy shook her head. “No thanks.”

He was blocking her way, and she couldn’t leave. So, Wendy turned, intending to head back
to her apartment.
Before she could take a step, Stanley grabbed her wrist with his large hand, his fingers strong and commanding.
His hand, clean and long with faint fingerprints, pressed against her delicate skin. Wendy’s
mind instantly flashed to the image of his hand on her body.
She tried to pull away, but he was too strong, his grip unyielding as he held her in place.
“Let go of me!”
Wendy instinctively tried to break free.
But Stanley pushed her back, pinning her against the wall with one swift movement.
Wendy looked up at him, her voice cold. “If you keep this up, I’ll tell Jessica.”
Stanley’s gaze locked onto her face, his eyes sharp, assessing. “And what are you planning to tell her? That I’ve taken advantage of you?”
He remembered the last time she had told on him to Jessica.
Wendy narrowed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things. It almost seemed like she saw a hint of amusement in Stanley’s expression. “This time you haven’t, but you’re still harassing me.”
Stanley’s lips curved into a mocking smile. “Want me to come over tonight?”
What?
Wendy’s eyes widened, her pupils contracting in surprise.
Stanley tilted his head slightly. “Or should we go to your place?”
Wendy warned through gritted teeth, “Stanley!”
Stanley chuckled, playfully pinching her cheek. “See? Now this is what I call harassment.”

Wendy stood there, stunned, realizing he was just messing with her.
What a madman!

Stanley towered over her, his expression both playful and intense. “Let me ask you again- where did the car and the house come from? You haven’t spent my money, so where did you get the money to afford all this?”
She hadn’t spent his money, but then where did her money come from?
Wendy raised an eyebrow, countering, “What are you implying? That I’m spending another man’s money?”
Stanley didn’t answer, but his eyes flickered with something unreadable.
Wendy knew she had guessed correctly. This insane man probably thought she was using
another man’s money. He probably had a list of names in his mind, starting with Lucas.
Wendy smiled, a hint of mischief in her eyes. “I didn’t spend anyone’s money. All of this was given to me.”
