“You wanna fight?”
Stanley’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing in them. The atmosphere between him and Nathan instantly thickened with tension, sparks flying in the air.
Jessica stood frozen in shock. She hadn’t expected Nathan to actually stand up for Wendy and fight Stanley. The two of them had grown up together, practically inseparable since childhood.
Jessica whirled toward Wendy, her voice dripping with accusation. “Wendy, is this what you wanted? You seduce men, and now they’re ready to throw punches for you. You really know how to manipulate them!”
“Enough, Jessica!” Nathan’s fist clenched in anger.
At that moment, Wendy reached out and gently grasped Nathan’s arm, her voice soft yet firm. “Nathan, don’t let this ruin everything. It’s not worth it.”
Nathan turned to look at her, his eyes filled with sincerity. “No, Wendy, you’re worth it.”
At his words, Wendy felt a warmth spread through her chest.
Without another word, Nathan shrugged off his coat and draped it over Wendy’s shoulders, then took her hand in his. “Come on, Wendy. This place isn’t any fun. Let’s go back.”
He was about to walk out, but Wendy paused, holding up her hand to stop him. “Wait.”
Nathan released her hand, and then she walked over to grab her phone. “Okay, Nathan. Let’s go.”
A smile tugged at Nathan’s lips as he took her hand again. “Let’s go.”
Soon, the Presidential Suite with its stunning sea view was left empty, save for Stanley and Jessica. Jessica turned to Stanley, her voice laced with surprise and a hint of disdain.
“I never thought Nathan would go so far for Wendy. He’s willing to throw away years of friendship with you. Wendy’s a real siren, isn’t she?”
Stanley’s face remained a frozen mask of ice, but there was an unmistakable storm brewing beneath it. He lifted his leg and, in one swift motion, kicked the nearby trash can.
The clang of metal against the floor echoed sharply through the room.
Jessica smirked at the sight. Truth be told, she was the one who had called room service and ordered the condoms and lingerie. Now, her plan had come to fruition.
Stanley stood there, hands on his hips, his chest rising and falling with a controlled, simmering anger. “We’re leaving too.”
Jessica, in a much lighter mood now, was pleased with how smoothly everything had gone. “Alright, I’ll go grab Sienna.”
She stepped out of the room, heading toward Sienna. In the hallway, she unexpectedly bumped into Lionel, who was walking with his men, clearly preparing to return to his room.
“Useless idiots,” he muttered under his breath. “The resort s hot springs are barely the size of a pool, and still, none of you can find a single person!”
“We searched everywhere, Lionel, but the woman… It’s like she vanished into thin air.”
“We never even saw her face clearly. All we know is she was wearing a magenta bikini.”

Chapter 183
Jessica’s steps faltered as the words hit her like a bolt of lightning. A magenta bikini? Wasn’t that Wendy?
Were they looking for Wendy?
Lionel and his men disappeared into their room, but Jessica stayed frozen, staring at their door. She knew exactly who they were–hard men with brutal methods, the kind who didn’t hesitate to use force to get what they wanted. If Wendy had gotten tangled up with people like that, Jessica might just be able to use them to her advantage.
She smiled darkly to herself. It was time to make Wendy disappear.
