Chapter 365
Jessica told Stanley she wanted Wendy’s dress.
Her damned competitive nature wouldn’t let her accept being outshone by Wendy. She had to have that dress. She couldn’t let Wendy steal her spotlight!
This wasn’t the first time, either. Back when they were at the hot springs, Jessica had bought the bikini Wendy wanted.
Stanley stared at Wendy.”

At that moment, Samuel reached for Wendy’s soft waist and pulled her closer. With a smirk, he said, “Mr. Hawk, there’s a certain order to things–rules, you know? Isn’t that how it works?”
Stanley’s eyes narrowed as they fell on Samuel’s hand. When Samuel had his arm around
Wendy’s shoulders, it had been bad enough, but now, with his hand on her waist, Stanley could feel the icy chill rising in his gaze.
Jessica pouted, playing her usual game of charm. “Stanley, now that Mr. Samuel is Wendy’s
boyfriend, she’s acting all high and mighty with him behind her. You’re my boyfriend. You wouldn’t let me lose to Wendy, would you?”
Stanley pressed his lips together and then turned his gaze to Samuel. “Mr. Samuel, rules are made by people, aren’t they? Whoever has the power gets to make the rules.”
Samuel raised an eyebrow. “What are you saying?”
Stanley turned to Wendy. “Jessica wants the dress you’re wearing. You should just take it
off and give it to her.”
He actually told her to take the dress off and give it to Jessica.
Samuel’s smile didn’t falter, but his voice turned sharp. “Mr. Hawk, if that’s the case, it seems like we should have a duel. A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do for the woman he

cares about.”

Samuel held Wendy in his arms while Stanley and Jessica stood together. The tension in the
air was thick.
Stanley and Samuel were men of wealth, and now, it seemed, it was time for them to
measure their fortunes.
At that moment, Wendy spoke up.
“No need for a competition. I’ll take off the dress and give it to Jessica.”
Wendy was the one making the move.
Samuel looked at her, surprised. “Why…”
Wendy silenced him with a glance. “There’s no need to fight over a dress. I’ll just go change
now.”
Wendy walked into the fitting room, changed out of the dress, and handed it to Jessica. “Here you go, Jessica.”
Jessica couldn’t hide her smug grin. “I’ll give you credit for knowing your place. You know
you can’t compete with me.”
Wendy’s clear, sparkling eyes twinkled as she smiled. “You’re still the same, always trying to pick up my leftovers.”
What?
Jessica froze, her smile faltering.
Wendy’s lips curled into a teasing grin. “I’ve already worn this dress. If you want it, take it. You came begging at my door, so I’m happy to throw you a bone.”
With that, Wendy lifted her hand, and her slender fingers released the lace dress, letting it fall directly into Jessica’s waiting hands.

The gesture was so cold, almost like charity to a beggar.
Jessica’s smile disappeared, replaced by a furious scowl. “Wendy, you little-”

Samuel’s voice cut through the tension. “Ms. Jessica, you seem upset. You wanted the dress, and Wendy gave it to you. So, what’s the problem? Seems like there’s no winning with you. Mr. Hawk, your girlfriend seems prone to mood swings. Does she really make you happy?”
Jessica was speechless, her mind spinning from Samuel’s words. Wendy’s actions had already angered her, but now Samuel’s taunts were making her head buzz.

Lilian cut in, trying to ease the situation. “Alright, Jessica, why don’t you go try on the dress for Mr. Hawk?”
Lilian was smart–she knew that Jessica’s goal was to win Stanley over, to secure his
affection.
Jessica was the lead dancer in ballet, with a body to die for. The moment she stepped out in that dress, she would outshine Wendy for sure.
Trish chimed in, “Yeah, you should try it on! I’m sure you’ll look way better in that dress than Wendy
does!”
