Chapter 243
Stanley didn’t say a word. Luna couldn’t figure out what this man was thinking or what was going through his mind.
“Mr. Hawk, it was me that night. I gave you my virginity-
Before she could continue, Stanley pressed the accelerator, and the luxury car sped off.
“Mr. Hawk!” Luna stood frozen in place, her anxiety mounting. She was terrified–what if Stanley had discovered the truth?
At that moment, two bodyguards dressed in black suddenly appeared. They grabbed Luna by the arms and began dragging her away.
Luna screamed, panic rising in her chest, “Who are you? Let go of me!”
“Get in! Ms. Crone wants to see you.”
The two guards were forceful, shoving Luna into a sleek, black luxury car.
Luna looked up and saw Jessica inside, her delicate face set in a cold expression as she stared at her.
Luna’s heart sank. She had heard of Jessica–everyone in Hovendale knew that Jessica was Stanley’s beloved. Wendy, on the other hand, was just an unimportant wife, and Luna wasn’t afraid of her.
But Jessica? That was a different story.
“M–Ms. Crone, hello…” Luna stammered.
Jessica gave Luna a slow once–over. “So, you’re the woman who spent a night with Stanley? I heard he’s been throwing all kinds of resources your way, turning you into a big star.”
“I…” Luna faltered, unsure of how to respond.
Jessica scoffed. “Now, I’m sure plenty of men are after you. Since you love sleeping around with men so much, how about I send you to the red–light district to work as a prostitute? What do you think of that?”
Luna trembled, her voice barely a whisper. “Please, Ms. Crone, don’t…”
Jessica looked at Luna coldly, like she was nothing more than an insect. She had never imagined that this cheap woman had benefited from the aphrodisiac incense she had used on Stanley.
Just the thought of this woman climbing into Stanley’s bed made Jessica seethe with rage. She wished Luna would just disappear.
Jessica shot a look at the two bodyguards. “Take her away.”
“Got it, Ms. Crone.”
The bodyguards stepped forward, grabbing Luna once more
Luna realized she had crossed paths with someone ruthless and dangerous. Fear drained the color from her face. She panicked and threw herself at Jessica’s feet, desperately pleading, “Ms. Crone, you’ve got it all wrong! The woman who was with Mr. Hawk that night wasn’t me—it was Wendy!”
Jessica froze, her face momentarily blank. “What did you say?”
“I was just pretending to be her! Wendy slept with Mr. Hawk that night–she gave him her virginity.”

Jessica gasped, her face full of disbelief. Wendy? Wendy had climbed into Stanley’s bed that night and consummated their marriage?
