The two of them locked eyes
Wendy looked at Stanley trying to explain herself Stanley I swear I didn t send that photo to Grandma I won t admit to something I didn t do
Jessica tugged at Stanley s sleeve Stanley look at her Even now she s still trying to make excuses She has no remorse
Stanley s gaze was cold devoid of any warmth Wendy apologize Now
His voice was commanding as though he were giving her an order
Wendy’s pale eyes welled up, but she stood tall, her slender back straight and her tone stubborn. “Stanley, I’ll say it again: I didn’t do this, so I won’t apologize.”
Stanley s eyes were like ink dark and deep swallowing everything in their path Wendy Your best friend Cecelia works at a magazine company doesn t she
A chill ran down Wendy s spine Was he threatening to go after the people close to her
Both Jessica and Lilian were watching her with expressions of triumph their faces so smug it almost burned
Wendy curled her white fingers into fists. At that moment, Stanley had shattered her dignity, and now these two were trampling
on her. Tears of humiliation welled up in her eyes, but she slowly forced the words out.
Jessica I m sorry
In the end she apologized
Jessica grinned I ll let it slide this time but there can t be a next time
Wendy you think just holding on to Glinda is enough Stanley doesn t even love you Lilian chimed in
Wendy s face drained of color leaving her as pale as a ghost
Stanley strode out of the room Now the only people left in the room were Wendy Jessica and Lilian
Wendy turned to Jessica So this is your lesson for me
Jessicadroppedthe act, casually curling her lips into a smile. “Wendy, I’m teaching you. As women, we shouldn’t be focusing on getting Mrs. Glinda’s favor–we should be going after the man.”
Wendy was stunned Jessica did you send the photo
Jessica grinned but didn t deny it
Wendy gasped You actually sent the photo to Grandma deliberately putting her against you You decided to endanger yourself Everything was just a setup wasn t it

Not bad Wendy Yes I sent the photo Glinda doesn t like me and I m not going to try and please her If she doesn t like me that s her loss I ll make sure she loses Stanley her precious grandson
Wendy couldn t believe it Jessica that s Stanley s grandmother
Jessica smiled,a wicked gleam in her eyes. “So what? To me, she’s just an obstacle in my way.”
Wendy s voice trembled You re insane
With that she turned and started heading toward the door
Jessica s voice echoed from behind her Wendy this is just a small lesson for you Remember neither you nor Glinda are my
match.”
Wendy s back was to Jessica so Jessica couldn t see her expression
Wendy stood up straighter, and in that moment, all the humiliation, discomfort, and shock in her eyes vanished, replaced by a
cold smile.
Oh really Jessica was celebrating too soon
Wendy walked out and there standing in the doorway was Stanley tall and striking holding his phone
Earlier Wendy had called Stanley so he had heard every word she d exchanged with Jessica
