Chapter 192\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said he didn\u2019t know her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After speaking, Stanley stepped away, his long legs carrying him forward as he led the businessmen into the luxurious private room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy\u2019s body stiffened slightly, the calm she had tried to maintain slipping away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luna, still hiding behind Wendy, had stopped crying. Her pale face, once colorless, began to warm with a soft blush, her eyes glued to Stanley\u2019s tall, handsome figure as she stared after him, mesmerized.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Stanley was out of sight, Jake turned his attention to Wendy. \u201cHaha! You say you\u2019re Mrs. Hawk, but Mr. Hawk doesn\u2019t even know you. You\u2019re just a llar!\u201c\u2013\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy had no response.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jake wasn\u2019t in the mood to waste any more time. \u201cGrab them!\u201d he ordered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two black\u2013clad bodyguards immediately moved forward again, grabbing Wendy and Luna roughly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luna struggled in their grasp. \u201cLet go of me!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy appeared calm, as she had a needle and some sleeping powder hidden on her. As soon as they entered the room with Jake, she would have a chance to escape with Luna.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Wendy was calculating her next move, Jake waved his hand impatiently. \u201cTake them to the car.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two bodyguards pushed them forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, a voice called out from behind. \u201cMr. Silva, wait a moment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jake turned around. Kenneth Rogers, who had just come out of Stanley\u2019s private room, stopped him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Rogers, hello.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hawk would like you to come in and join him for a drink.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jake\u2019s face lit up with excitement. An invitation from Stanley was a huge honor. \u201cGreat! I\u2019ll be right there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jake casually draped his arm around Wendy\u2019s delicate shoulder. \u201cCome on. You\u2019ll come with me to raise a glass to Mr. Hawk. Remember to behave yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luna was left outside with the other bodyguards. If Wendy didn\u2019t comply, Luna would be the one to suffer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy had no choice but to follow Jake into the luxurious private room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside the extravagant room, Wendy\u2019s eyes immediately found Stanley, sitting at the head of the table. His presence was regal, his handsome face unbothered as the businessmen around him poured wine into his glass.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was the first time Wendy had seen him in such a setting\u2013surrounded by influential businessmen, acting like the powerful figure he was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t expected their next meeting to happen like this after all the days apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jake pulled her by the shoulder and guided her to a seat opposite him. The men around the table immediately began teasing. \u201cMr. Silva, is this your new girlfriend?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, she\u2019s a student from Clavendale University.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour taste hasn\u2019t changed at all. Still fond of schoolgirls, huh?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since there were just men in the room, Jake chuckled. \u201cThis one\u2019s interesting. Mr. Hawk, do you know what this girl just said? She claimed to be your wife!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy saw Stanley look up from his glass, his dark eyes locking on hers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked down at her from his lofty position, and his lips curled ever so slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was that a faint, amused smirk?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy wanted to scream at Jake to shut up!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHahaha! She sure has guts, calling herself Mrs. Hawk.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cToday\u2019s students are clever. They all want to hook up with the richest, most powerful man.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hawk must have a lot of schoolgirls after him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The businessmen around the table laughed, mocking Wendy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy\u2019s delicate face flushed. She felt embarrassed, her pride stung.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jake stood up, holding his wine glass. \u201cMr. Hawk, let me offer you a drink.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley, sitting lazily and elegantly, didn\u2019t take the glass. Instead, he looked at Wendy. \u201cLet her come over and offer me the drink.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
