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!”
Under the collective gaze, Stanley’s voice was as cool and distant as ever. “I accept the punishment. I’ll drink.”
Instead of answering the question, he chose to take the penalty and drink.
Jessica stiffened in shock. Trish’s expression faltered, her excitement momentarily gone.
Stanley grabbed the bottle and tilted it back, drinking three full bottles in one go.
Cecelia felt a flicker of respect for Stanley, finally seeing him stand his ground. She couldn’t resist taking a jab. “Well, Jessica,
1/2

Stanley chose to remain silent. Seems like your order didn’t really work after all.”
Jessica’s face turned an uncomfortable shade of red as she struggled to regain her composure.
Wendy studied Stanley, surprised by his choice. He could have easily answered, but he didn’t. Why?

Before she could ponder further, Benny quickly stepped in to steer the game along. “Alright, Stanley’s taken his punishment, so the first round is over. Let’s move on to the second round!”
The beer bottle was spun again. This time it landed on Wendy, with the tail pointing to Trish
Once again, it was Trish.
Wendy’s clear, sparkling eyes lit up with a mischievous smile. She knew Trish had been working with Jessica to embarrass her, so
now it was her turn to make things interesting. She wondered if these fake friends could handle what was coming next.
Trish fixed Wendy with a cold, proud look. “Wendy, what do you want me to do?”
Wendy blinked innocently and grinned. “Trish, this round, you’re going to do a Dare. Pick one of these gentlemen here to kiss
passionately for three minutes.”
Wendy was setting the stage for something daring, a challenge that would shake things up.
Trish was proud and high–strung, and only Stanley could make her feel that kind of passion.
