Wendy gave a bitter, self-mocking smile.

In the VIP room of the hospital, Jessica's leg had already been treated by the doctor.

Stanley pressed his lips together as he looked at the doctor. "Are her injuries severe? Will they affect her ability to dance in the future?"

The doctor reassured him, "Mr. Hawk, there's no need to worry. We did an X-ray, and thankfully, they're just soft tissue injuries. There's no damage to the bones or tendons. With proper rest, she'll be able to dance again."

Once the doctor left, Stanley felt a soft sensation in his palm. He looked down and saw Jessica's small hand reaching up, slipping into his grasp. She held onto him gently.

As he looked down at her, Jessica gave him a faint smile, her pale face showing a touch of vulnerability. "Stanley, I'm fine. Don't worry so much about me."

Stanley was so tense, and though she had expected it, a wave of sweetness washed over her heart.

"Why did you throw yourself down the stairs?" he suddenly asked, his

    Halsey had hung up on purpose. As long as she didn't take the bait, Gilbert and Chelsea would only get more desperate. Sooner or later, they would start to panic and do something reckless. All she had to do now was wait.-At the moment, Chelsea was with Warren. As soon as he set his phone down, she asked eagerly, "Well? Did she agree to meet?"Warren shook his head. "No, she said she wasn't coming. Said she didn't have time."Chelsea clenched her fists. So Halsey refused to show up. That meant they would have to try something else."You have access to Shaun's villa, right?" She asked. "Your fingerprint is in the lock system."Warren looked at her. "Why are you asking about that?"Chelsea leaned in slightly. "Since Halsey won't come out, that leaves only one option. You need to sneak me into the villa so I can talk to her. Also, you'll have to call Shaun and find a way to get him out of the house. That's the only way I'll get to speak to Halsey alone."Warren frowned. "

    "It's time to make our move! We can't wait any longer," Chelsea said to Gilbert."After what happened last time, Halsey is on high alert. Looks like our best chance is to use Warren," Gilbert said. Chelsea thought for a moment. "You're right. Warren is Shaun's best friend—he's the perfect weapon against Halsey.""Warren trusts you completely," Gilbert sneered. "He's never suspected a thing. If he finds out who you really are…"Chelsea cut him off sharply, "He'll never find out! He trusts me completely."Gilbert nodded. "Good. Now call him and have him ask Halsey out. We have to make our move."Chelsea smiled. "Will do."She grabbed her phone and dialed Warren. "You don't want Halsey and Shaun to end up together, right? She's hurt him time and again. We can't let him fall for her again. As his best friend, we have to protect him.""What do you want to do?" Warren asked.Chelsea said, "Call Halsey and get her to meet you. We'll talk then."Warren agreed without hesitation. "

    Halsey didn't need to look back to know how furious Warren was at this moment, but she couldn't care less. She figured he would find Chelsea next, and then Chelsea would turn to Gilbert. The two of them would certainly panic.And that was exactly what Halsey wanted—to force them into a corner and make them slip up.As Halsey walked away, Warren was seething. He simply couldn't understand why Shaun had loved Halsey for so many years and had even proposed. At this rate, they might really get married soon.Without hesitation, Warren pulled out his phone and dialed Chelsea.Chelsea wasn't alone right now—she was with Gilbert.Because of the Elise incident, Chelsea had kept a low profile for a few days. Still, both she and Gilbert were becoming more anxious. Halsey was pregnant, and that belly was only going to get bigger.Chelsea's phone rang, and she glanced at the screen. "It's Warren."Gilbert was swirling a glass of wine in his hand. "Answer it."Chelsea picked up. "Hey.""B

    Halsey's pale eyes suddenly welled up with tears. After all the years she had known Shaun, she had always dreamed of marrying him.And now, he had proposed.She opened her mouth to speak, but just then, Warren appeared. "Shaun, what are you doing here?"At that moment, Halsey remembered—Warren, Chelsea, and Gilbert still hadn't been dealt with.Before she and Shaun could get married, all of this must be ended. Shaun also deserved to know the truth about what had happened back then.Halsey looked at Shaun and said, "I need to think about it."Shaun smiled gently. "Take your time. My baby's growing in your belly, so I'm not worried about you running off—I can wait."He said he could wait. And somehow, that meant more to Halsey than any sweet talk ever could.If it hadn't been for his persistence these past three years, the two of them might have already parted ways forever due to all the lies and schemes.Yet, he had never let go of her hand.Just then, Warren walked up. "H

    Shaun gave Halsey's cheek a gentle pinch. "Hurry up and eat. I'm taking you somewhere after this."Halsey raised an eyebrow, curious. "Where to?"Shaun grinned mysteriously. "Can't tell you yet. You'll see when we get there.""So secretive, huh?" Halsey muttered.After breakfast, Shaun took Halsey out. About half an hour later, they pulled up at a mall.Halsey blinked. "You brought me to the mall?"Shaun led her straight into a jewelry boutique. "You told me yesterday that I've never bought you any jewelry. Well, today's your day. Pick whatever you want—I'm paying."Halsey arched her brows playfully. "Wow, you're being so generous today. Guess I won't hold back.""Don't," Shaun replied with a smirk.A sales assistant came over, full of energy. "Good morning! Looking for anything in particular?"Halsey pointed toward a bracelet. "That one.""Of course. I'll take it out for you to try on."Leaning closer to Shaun, Halsey whispered, "That emerald bracelet looks like it's top-g

    Shaun had slept beside Halsey last night. Where had he gone?Halsey sat up and got out of bed before walking out of the room. "Shaun? Shaun…"She finally found him in the kitchen, cooking.It wasn't the first time she had seen him in the kitchen. Back when they were together, Shaun was always the one who cooked. But even now, every time she saw him like this, she couldn't help but find him incredibly attractive.He was wearing a plain white button-down shirt with black slacks, nothing fancy. His soft bangs rested gently on his forehead, and his rolled-up sleeves gave him a casual, youthful look. Compared to his usual polished appearance as a business elite, he looked even more handsome and laid-back.Halsey watched him flip an egg skillfully in the pan. He was frying it to a perfect golden brown on both sides.Maybe her gaze was too intense, because Shaun turned around and caught her staring. Their eyes met.He smiled. "Morning."She stepped into the kitchen. "Cooking this
