Chapter 50
The first round of the game landed on Stanley, and the atmosphere instantly grew more charged.
Trish flashed a playful smile at Stanley, her lips curling seductively.
“Mr. Hawk, it’s your turn for Truth. Tell us, have you and Mrs. Hawk…consummated your marriage yet?”
Everyone at the table, except Nathan who had just returned from abroad, knew that Wendy was Mrs. Hawk. Trish’s question was clearly meant to embarrass Stanley and probe into whether he had been intimate with Wendy.
The rich heirs at the table, always eager for drama, started whistling, adding to the tension.
Trish cast a sly glance at Wendy before turning back to Stanley. “You and Mrs. Hawk have been married for three years now. Have you never been with her? How much do you really not like your wife?”
Jessica, not wanting to miss her chance, turned her haughty gaze toward Wendy. “I told Stanley not to touch Mrs. Hawk, so of
course he hasn’t.”
Together, Trish and Jessica were clearly trying to humiliate Wendy.
Benny and the other heirs began urging Stanley. “Come on, Stanley! Answer the question. No lying now–it’s Truth or Dare!”
Cecelia looked at Trish and Jessica with fire in her eyes, practically itching to rip them apart. However, Wendy calmly held her
back
Cecelia hissed quietly, “Wendy, they’re doing this on purpose.”
Wendy gave a bitter smile. “It’s true that Stanley hasn’t touched me. Let them laugh. It doesn’t bother me anymore.”
The truth hurt, but it was the reality. The fact that Jessica had forbidden Stanley from touching her didn’t matter; he had never
intended to in the first place.
Wendy glanced at Stanley, seated at the head of the table.
Tonight, he wore a black shirt and black pants, the sleeves rolled up, revealing his sharp, defined forearms. When he lifted his
gaze, his cold, piercing eyes met hers, but she couldn’t decipher what he was thinking,
Jessica leaned in, pressing him. “Stanley, tell everyone you haven’t touched Wendy!”
