Chapter 248

Penulis: Glazed Snow
"Wendy, are you okay? What did Mr. Hawk bring you here for?"

Halsey and Cecelia quickly grabbed Wendy as she stood there, trying to process everything.

Wendy furrowed her brows, still confused about what Stanley was doing. He had brought her to Imperial Garden and then said "sorry" twice—it was very out of character for him.

But then she remembered Luna's pregnancy, and her frustration toward Stanley faded. She didn't want to waste any more time on him.

"Let's just go," she said, her voice flat.

"Alright," Halsey and Cecelia agreed.

The three of them left, and Stanley remained on the couch, his expression darkening as he masked the lust that flickered in his eyes.

Just then, Zayn entered and reported in a low voice, "Mr. Hawk, I've found something."

Stanley looked up. "Go on."

"It turns out Luna has a boyfriend in the countryside. He loves her very much, and he works the dirtiest and hardest jobs on a construction site to earn money so she can go to college. They've been sle

    Samuel flashed a knowing smile. "Wendy, what's going on with you today? Are you trying to put on a show for Mr. Hawk?"Wendy slowly lifted her head from Samuel's chest, looking at him with a resigned smile. "You really read me like a book, huh?""So, what's this little act between you two all about?""Jessica is Mr. Larson's daughter. The Hawk and Larson families have a marriage agreement. Stanley is supposed to marry Jessica, and his mother, Mrs. Angela, is coming to Hovendale tomorrow. I guess she's here to push Stanley and Jessica together."Samuel raised an eyebrow. "So, you're trying to make Mr. Hawk give up on you by getting close to me?""Stanley and I are done. He doesn't need to be troubled by me, and I don't want to be dragged into this."Samuel nodded thoughtfully. "I hope you really feel that way.""Of course I do."As she said this, Wendy gently placed her hand on her abdomen and softly caressed it.Samuel's gaze lingered on Wendy's belly. "So, you're not planni

    When Stanley heard Angela mention Wendy, his heart tightened. "Mom."Angela's voice was sharp and commanding. "I've already told you before: I can turn a blind eye to the women around you, but don't let your heart get involved. Now, Horace himself called, saying you're willing to give up on his daughter for Wendy. Is that true?"Stanley didn't hesitate to admit it. "Yes, it's true. Wendy is the woman I love. I won't marry anyone else.""You're an idiot!" Angela's voice grew even more enraged. "I can see that you're completely bewitched by this Wendy! The marriage agreement between the Hawk and Larson families must be honored. Now that Horace has found his daughter, you need to prepare and marry her as soon as possible."Stanley furrowed his brows, a deep frown forming. "Mom—""I've already arranged for a private jet. I'll be in Hovendale tomorrow."With that, there was a sharp "click" as Angela ended the call.Angela was coming.Stanley stood outside for a moment, lost in tho

    Horace looked into Jessica's determined eyes and sighed, finally relenting. "Alright. If this is what you want, then I'll support it too. Don't worry—Stanley will marry you.""Really? But I don't think he wants to marry me right now."Horace gave her a reassuring look. "Our families' agreement isn't something Stanley can decide on his own. The Hawk family will never allow him to marry anyone else. The position of Mrs. Hawk is yours."Jessica's eyes lit up with excitement. "That's awesome! Thanks, Dad!"Lilian, sensing an opportunity, added, "Mr. Larson, it's clear that Mr. Hawk is really fond of Wendy. Just to be safe, I think we should do something about that."Horace paused for a moment, thinking. "I'll call Stanley's mother, Angela. If she finds out about Wendy..."He didn't finish his sentence, but both Jessica and Lilian understood. If Angela learned about Wendy and realized that she was standing in the way of the marriage between the Hawk and Larson families, Angela wou

    Stanley looked at Horace and said firmly, "Uncle Horace, I'll say this again—I will never marry Jessica. The woman I love is Wendy!"Jessica's face crumpled with hurt and frustration. "Stanley!"Stanley yanked Wendy away from Horace's grasp, pulling her back to him.Wendy's delicate form tumbled into Stanley's warm embrace. Stanley immediately wrapped his strong arm around her slender waist, his voice low as he asked, "Are you okay?"Wendy nodded. "I'm fine."Stanley's voice rumbled. "Let's go.""Okay."Wendy tried to walk on her own, but Stanley effortlessly swept her off her feet and cradled her in his arms.Wendy's breath caught in surprise, but Stanley said softly, "Hold onto my neck."Wendy wrapped her arms around his neck, and Stanley carried her away, leaving Horace and Jessica behind.Halsey turned to Jessica, sticking out her tongue and making a playful face. "Well, what does it matter if you're the daughter of the richest man? You can't even keep your fiancé!"Jess

    Horace looked at Jessica with a soft, affectionate gaze before turning his eyes toward Wendy.It was the second time he had encountered Wendy.Wendy, her eyes still red from crying, met his gaze. Her once-clear eyes, now brighter after the tears, locked with his. Just then, Trish spoke up, "Mr. Larson, you came at just the right time! Wendy was bullying Jessica again."Jessica, ever the understanding one, stepped in, "Dad, it's okay. I'm your daughter now, and Wendy must be feeling jealous and upset. Let her get it out of her system."Horace's gaze hardened as he looked at Wendy. "I don't know what has caused such a deep hatred between you and my daughter, and frankly, I don't need to know. But one thing's for sure: I hope you won't bully Jessica anymore."It was a warning from Horace to Wendy.Wendy looked at him coolly. "Mr. Larson, maybe you should focus more on Jessica's heart condition. If not, I'm afraid you might find yourselves parting ways before you even really get to

    The sound of a sharp crack echoed through the air.Wendy clenched her fist so tightly that her fingernail broke, digging into her palm.Her clear, almond-shaped eyes turned bloodshot, a mixture of shock, rage, sorrow, and a sudden ache swirling in her chest. It was as if her heart had been ripped apart, the pain overwhelming her.She had suspected for a long time that Jerry had been killed by these people, but hearing the truth hit her like a crushing weight. It was too much to bear. The Crone family, the people Jerry had grown up with, were the ones who had killed him.They were his wife, his two brothers, his sister-in-law, and Edith. Though Jerry had been adopted, he had always considered Edith his real mother.And then, when Edith arrived, her father stopped struggling.It was Edith who had personally poured the poison into his mouth.How much pain and despair must he have felt in his final moments?He had called out for Wendy, over and over… Tears suddenly shimmered in

    Lilian smiled smugly. "Of course it's real! Mr. Larson is at the Crone family's estate. He's taking Jessica back to the Capital soon."Jessica handed over the black, gold-embossed card that Horace had given her. "Here, swipe this," she said to the sales associate.The associate took the card, her eyes widening as she noticed the embossed gold letters on the back—Larson.The associates' eyes lit up. "Wow, this is Mr. Larson's card! She really is the daughter of the richest man!""I can't believe the daughter of the world's richest man is here shopping with us! I'm definitely taking a picture for my social media. This is something I'll be proud of for the rest of my life."Jessica basked in their flattery, relishing every word. She had always been fond of vanity, and now, she was enjoying the attention and compliments.Suddenly, Trish spoke up. "Wendy, what are you doing here?"Jessica turned around and saw Wendy standing by the door.Wendy had come with Halsey, and her clear,

    Lilian looked at Harry, a cold laugh curling in her heart.In truth, Lilian felt both love and hatred for Harry.She loved him.Lilian was a beautiful woman who had always longed for romance. Coming from a poor family, she had met the wealthy businessman, Jerry. Even though she didn't love him, she married him to enjoy the life of a rich wife.Jerry adored her, always indulging her every whim, yet she remained unsatisfied. That was, until she laid eyes on Harry, a student returning home.Harry was a rare find in those days—a university graduate—and he was also a romantic intellectual. He fit perfectly into everything Lilian had ever dreamed of.

He had married her simply to provide Jessica with a competent stepmother.Harry had only ever loved one woman in his life. He was devote

    Horace gazed at Jessica with tender affection.Harry looked on with a warm grin, while Lilian, standing quietly nearby, allowed a small, satisfied smile to play on her lips. All her careful plotting had not been in vain!-Later that evening, Jessica returned to her room. It wasn't long before Lilian followed her in. "Jessica," she called softly.Jessica's tone was cold and distant. "What do you want?""I just wanted to see you before you leave with Mr. Larson for the Capital. I'm going to miss you so much."Lilian's reluctance to part with Jessica was real, but Jessica had no desire to be around her."I'm fine. You can go now," Jessica replied, dismissing her."Jessica—" Lilian reached out to take Jessica's hand.But Jessica quickly yanked her hand away. "What are you doing? Why are you being so annoying?"Lilian was taken aback. "How could you speak to me like that? I'm your mother!""Mother?" Jessica sneered. "You're not my mother. My real mother is dead. You're my fo
