Chapter 471

Author: Glazed Snow
Wendy's heart skipped a beat. Tonight, Stanley was taking Jessica home—did that mean the two of them would be spending the night together?

Jessica flashed a smug smile at Wendy, clearly enjoying the moment. "I think it's time for us to head out. You and Dr. Binder can take your time chatting."

She turned to Stanley, "Let's go."

Stanley gave Wendy a long, quiet glance. He didn't say a word and led Jessica away.

Terence watched the couple leave, a look of disbelief on his face. "How could Mr. Hawk be so blind? How could he choose someone like Jessica?"

Wendy smiled but said nothing. Relationships were complicated—Jessica might be foolish, but Stanley clearly still loved her. She could only say it was true love.

Terence spoke up again. "Boss, just imagine when Jessica finds out who you really are—when she learns that you're the real boss of NovaHealth, the head of the largest publicly listed healthcare company in the country. I bet she'll be speechless."

    Jessica froze, her confusion clear. "What do you mean by that?"Wendy smiled slyly, her voice soft but cutting. "You just can't satisfy Mr. Hawk. He's been restless lately, and every time I even touch him, he gets worked up."What?Jessica gasped, her breath catching in shock.Wendy turned away, not bothering to say more. She opened her apartment door and walked inside.She shut the door behind her with a thud, leaving Jessica standing there, caught in the cold wind.Jessica turned to Stanley, frustration boiling over. "What exactly happened between you two?"Stanley wasn't in the mood to discuss it. He opened the door to his apartment, his voice flat. "Come in."Jessica stepped inside, her eyes wide with wonder. This was her first time at Stanley's apartment, and the luxurious surroundings left her speechless once again.Stanley's deep, cool voice broke the silence. "You wanted to come to my apartment, and now you're here. Can I finally see the crystal pendant?"Stanley was

    Stanley looked down at the beautiful, tempting Jessica beneath him, his gaze softening as he slowly lowered his head.-Meanwhile, Wendy had returned to her apartment. She indulged in a relaxing hot bath before slipping into a soft nightgown. Just as she settled, the familiar ping of a notification rang from her phone.Wendy picked it up to find a message from Jessica on WhatsApp. A voice message had been sent.Curious, Wendy opened it, and immediately Jessica's voice filled the air, her seductive tone unmistakable. "Stanley, slow down… Ah… you're hurting me…"Wendy's delicate face hardened, her expression freezing as she processed the unexpected content. She hadn't anticipated that Jessica would send her an audio recording of her moaning.It seemed that Jessica and Stanley were already doing the deed, and Jessica had taken the opportunity to send the recording.Without a change in her demeanor, Wendy set the phone down and went back to whatever she had been doing.Time passe

    "Stanley, I've noticed something. You've really changed. You've started treating me so coldly. Why were you with Wendy last night? "I was so forward just now, and you pushed me away. You want to be with Wendy, but won't even touch me. Am I really not as charming as she is?"Stanley's handsome face was bathed in the soft, dim light, making it difficult to read his expression. "My patience has limits. If you don't show me the crystal pendant soon, I'll—""Look at this!" Jessica pulled out the crystal pendant.Stanley froze, recognizing it instantly. It was his—a unique, family heirloom from the Hawk family, one of a kind.It was his crystal pendant.The girl who had saved him all those years ago... It was really Jessica!Jessica looked at Stanley, her voice tinged with hurt. "I've kept this pendant all this time. It breaks my heart to see how you've changed. How could you doubt me? Did Wendy say something? Did she tell you she saved you?"She's really scheming. Back then, I fe

    Stanley had chosen Jessica.At that moment, the sound of the apartment door opening echoed through the hallway, and Wendy appeared at the entrance.The noise from the argument between Stanley and Jessica had been so loud that Wendy had heard it. She had come to see what was going on, and the moment she opened the door, she saw Stanley and Jessica locked in a tight embrace.Wendy froze for a second.Stanley, hearing the noise, pulled away from Jessica and turned to face Wendy.Their eyes met.Stanley felt a pang in his chest. For some reason, letting go of Wendy at this moment hurt more than he expected.Jessica smirked, her lips curling up in a triumphant smile. Then she let out a soft, exaggerated "Ow".Stanley immediately looked at her. "What's wrong?"Jessica looked at him with a feigned weakness, her voice soft. "My leg's gone numb. I can't walk."She extended her hand toward him. "Carry me."Stanley didn't hesitate. He easily lifted Jessica into his arms.He carried he

    At that moment, a soft and melodious ringtone sounded. A call was coming in.It was from Lilian.Jessica pressed the button to answer the call, and Lilian's anxious voice immediately came through. "Jessica, how are things going with Mr. Hawk?"Jessica smiled slightly. "Don't worry, Mom. I've taken care of everything."Lilian's voice filled with excitement. "Really?""Yes," Jessica replied confidently. "Tell Dad and Grandma to relax. No matter how much Wendy pressures him, Stanley will protect us. He'll make sure Wendy treats my heart condition, and he'll cut ties with her completely!"Lilian was ecstatic. "That's amazing! If Mr. Hawk breaks ties with Wendy, this is going to be quite the spectacle. You're incredible!"Jessica smiled, her lips curving into a pleased grin.-Three days had passed. As soon as the morning light broke, Wendy headed straight for Jerry's grave.She had given the Crone family three days to act. Today, it was time to punish the murderer.Wendy stood i

    Edith said the Crone family members wanted to offer their respects at Jerry's grave.Wendy didn't stop them. She watched as Edith led the group, bowing their heads in reverence for a minute. "Hey, Jerry. It's me, Mom," Edith said softly.Harry and Archer joined in. "Hey, Jerry. We've come to visit."Once they were done, Edith turned to Wendy, her voice dripping with false sincerity. "We're still family. Although Jerry was adopted, he called me 'Mom'. We shouldn't fight within the family. Now, standing at Jerry's grave, can't we bury the hatchet and make peace?"Wendy sneered, her cold gaze locking onto Edith. "Oh, that's right. My father called you 'Mom', but what kind of mother would poison her own child? You killed Dad, and now, here, at his grave, you still have the nerve to ask me to make peace with you?"Her eyes slowly moved over Harry, Lilian, Archer, and Natalie, one by one. "Let me ask you all something. If I weren't Dr. Ceylan, would any of you have come to pay respe

    Suddenly, Stanley changed the subject. "Have you gotten in touch with Samuel?"At the mention of Samuel, Wendy's heart skipped a beat.Stanley stood there in a custom-made black suit, exuding an air of distinguished elegance. His gaze was unyielding, cold and indifferent. He was looking down at Wendy, his eyes devoid of any warmth—only the sharpness and authority of someone who held power.He had already chosen Jessica, and now, to him, Wendy was nothing more than a stranger.In his eyes, there was no trace of affection—only the steely resolve of a person who had made up his mind.Stanley parted his lips slightly. "You failed to get through to Samuel, huh? No, more precisely, when you were talking to him, his call suddenly cut off, didn't it?"Wendy immediately began to piece things together, her shock evident as she looked at Stanley. "Did you do something to him?"Stanley's expression remained impassive. "You can try calling him again. See if you can get through."Without w

    Stanley nodded. Yes, he would not waver anymore.He had to save Jessica, no matter what.He turned his gaze toward Wendy. "Just agree to treat Jessica's heart condition. I don't want to force you."Wendy's heart sank completely. Stanley really was standing with Jessica and those murderers.She scoffed bitterly. "Let's see if you have the power to make me!""You talk a big game," Edith sneered. "Sure, you're the wonder doctor, but you can't take on someone like Mr. Hawk! He's a major player in the business world. With just a snap of his fingers, he could make you fall from grace.""Wendy, we've given you a way out. Now it's time to take it. No good can come from us all tearing each other apart. I'm only advising you because I genuinely want what's best for you," Lilian added. Jessica cut in, "Do it for Mr. Samuel. You can't let him lose his life because of you!"Wendy's cold stare locked onto Jessica. "I'll figure out his situation. You all should worry about yourselves. I wo

    "Are you okay, Samuel? Have you been eating well? Is anyone bothering you?" Wendy asked.Stanley watched Wendy as she spoke, her face filled with genuine concern for Samuel. The worry and care were unmistakable, no trace of it being forced.Stanley turned away, unwilling to look or listen."I'm fine. Don't worry." Samuel's voice came through the phone, light and teasing. "Mr. Hawk has been treating me really well since he brought me here. I think I've even gained a little weight."Wendy knew Samuel was just trying to comfort her. A small smile tugged at her lips. "Hang in there. I've agreed to perform the surgery on Jessica. Once it's done, you'll be free."There was a pause on the other end. Samuel didn't ask why—he always supported whatever decision Wendy made. "Alright. Don't worry about me. I'm doing just fine."Wendy held the phone, her eyes lost in the view of the twinkling city lights outside the window. "After the surgery, let's get out of Hovendale. I don't want to stay

    At the mention of those past events, Stanley's usually sharp features softened. "Yes, it was many years ago. I was severely injured and wandered into a forest. It was Jessica who saved me. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here today. She's the one who gave me a second chance at life."Wendy couldn't help but laugh, a bitter chuckle escaping her lips. She couldn't even put her feelings into words, only feeling a deep ache in her chest; a mixture of sharp pain and a strange, tingling sensation.She had always thought he had forgotten.She had always believed he had forgotten her.In reality, he had never forgotten.He still remembered her.All these years, he had kept her in his heart.To know that the love had been reciprocated—it was such a beautiful thing, even if he had mistaken the person.Wendy tilted her head back, her small face gazing up at him. "Do you remember the words you said in that cave?"Stanley nodded. "I told her I would take her with me, that I would gi

    Stanley tried to gently push Jessica away, but she held on tightly. She tilted her head back, offering Wendy a bright, triumphant smile as she lay in his arms. It was both a taunt and a display of her smug satisfaction.Wendy's expression remained neutral, giving nothing away.Jessica continued to look at Wendy, a playful edge in her voice. "Did you come to see me?"Wendy didn't respond. Instead, her gaze shifted to Stanley. "Mr. Hawk, I need to talk to you."Stanley hadn't expected Wendy to approach him so directly. He started to rise from the bed.But Jessica clung to him, not letting him go. "Stanley, don't leave me! My heart's still bothering me..."Halsey, growing impatient, snapped, "Enough with the theatrics!"Still, Jessica wouldn't let go of Stanley. "Please, you promised you'd stay with me. I don't want you to leave."Stanley frowned, clearly frustrated. "Let go. I'll be back in a minute.""No," she whined. "I won't let you leave."Jessica threw a defiant look in

    "Jessica took the crystal pendant?" "That thief! She'll stop at nothing!" Glinda and Halsey fumed, their voices dripping with anger.Wendy gave a small, mocking smile. "Does she really think she'll be safe once she takes the crystal pendant? The truth will always come out, no matter how hard you try to hide it. Let's go back to the hospital.""Alright."-In the hospital room, Jessica sat with Lilian, holding her mother's hand tightly. She asked anxiously, "Mom, did you tell Stanley to come?"Lilian nodded. "I did. He's talking to Zayn outside. He'll be in soon."Jessica sighed in relief. "Looks like Stanley still cares about me. Of course, as long as I'm still the one who saved him, he won't abandon me."She glanced at Lilian, a question in her eyes. "Have the kidnappers and the doctor been dealt with?"Lilian smiled slightly. "Don't worry. It's all taken care of. I had them drugged before they even started their task. Even if they're caught, they won't be able to speak. N

    "Wendy, why are you crying? You're pregnant; you shouldn't be upsetting yourself like this." Glinda quickly pulled out a tissue and dabbed at Wendy's tears.Wendy couldn't help but laugh bitterly. She finally understood—it all made sense now. Jessica had been impersonating her all along!For all this time, Jessica had taken her place, pretending to be the one who had saved Stanley.Stanley had always believed Jessica saved him in that cave all those years ago.Wendy reached up to touch her neck, but there was nothing there. The crystal pendant Stanley had given her was gone.That pendant had been the token of their bond when he saved her in the cave.She hadn't worn it for a while, but she remembered clearly that she had left it in her apartment."Wendy, what's going on? Don't scare me like this," Halsey said.The shock hit Wendy hard, but she quickly steadied herself. "I'm fine. Jessica is a fraud!"Halsey looked at Wendy in confusion. "What do you mean?"Wendy straightened

    Stanley stood at the door with his eyes fixed on Wendy, his body tense as though he wanted to step inside.But Wendy, not wanting to face him, quickly averted her gaze.Stanley froze in place.Just then, Lilian's voice rang out from the hallway. "Mr. Hawk, Jessica's heart is acting up again! She wants to see you. You should go to her quickly."Lilian had come to find Stanley again to tell her about Jessica's flare-up.Glinda and Halsey both heard Lilian's voice. Glinda let out a cold snort. "She's asked to see you again. Why don't you go to her?"Halsey muttered, "Jessica's always complaining about heart pains. She's been doing it for years, and yet she's still alive and kicking. It's a miracle."Stanley remained standing tall in the doorway, his eyes still on Wendy.Wendy stayed silent as Halsey poured a glass of warm water. She took it, her eyes lowered as she drank slowly. Her delicate profile glowed in the soft light, almost ethereal.Lilian's voice rang out once more, urg

    The kidnappers and Cary exchanged glances. Their composure finally cracked."Mr. Hawk, I'll talk!" Cary was the first to speak.Stanley's lips curled into a faint smile. "Good. Then speak. Who sent you? Who ordered all of this?"Cary swallowed hard. "Mr. Hawk, someone offered a large sum of money to buy the baby in Wendy's womb. That person is—"But before he could finish the name, Cary suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.Stanley's expression changed instantly. "Someone! Get in here!"A medical team rushed into the room to check on him.Before they could finish, the rest of the kidnappers began to spit up blood as well, collapsing to the floor one by one.One of the doctors stood up, his face grave. "Mr. Hawk, it's no use. They've been poisoned. None of them will be able to speak."Stanley's sharp, chiseled features darkened with cold fury. Zayn leaned in and muttered, "Mr. Hawk, looks like the person behind all this made their move ahead of time. Once the job was done,

    Stanley furrowed his brow, shaking his head in denial. "It can't be Jessica."Glinda snorted, clearly unconvinced. "Do you trust her that much?""It's not about trusting her," Stanley replied quickly, his voice firm. "It's that she wouldn't have a reason to do something like that. The child Wendy is carrying is Samuel's, and Jessica doesn't have a beef with Samuel. Why would she go through all this trouble to get rid of Samuel's child? Doesn't that logic seem off to you?"Glinda's eyes sharpened, and she smirked. "Yes, it's true that Jessica wouldn't have any reason to harm Samuel's child—unless, of course, the child Wendy's carrying isn't actually Samuel's, right?"Stanley froze, his mind catching up with her words. He looked at Glinda and Halsey, confusion growing in his eyes. "What exactly are you trying to say?"Both Glinda and Halsey were well aware of Stanley's misunderstanding regarding the child Wendy was carrying. He had always believed it wasn't his.Now, they decided

    Stanley stood there, silent, feeling like a rat in the street—everyone was out to get him now.Nobody wanted him around."Grandma, I just want to see Wendy," he said softly.Glinda sighed, her patience worn thin. "Fine. Just one look."Stanley sat down at the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on Wendy's delicate face. Without thinking, he reached out to touch her.Glinda swatted his hand away with a sharp smack, glaring at him. "I only said you could look, not touch!"Stanley fell silent, withdrawing his hand. "What did the doctor say? How's the baby? Is it alright?"Glinda shot him a sharp look. "Thanks for your concern. Wendy and the baby are both fine."Stanley pressed his lips together, absorbing the information in silence.Glinda's voice softened, but her words were pointed. "Wendy's pregnant now. Don't you want to be a father?"The room fell quiet, her words barely a whisper as she asked him under the soft glow of the lights. Stanley hesitated, his expression unreadable
