Chapter 48

Penulis: Glazed Snow
How much pain must she have been in back then?

Stanley gently placed his hand on her soft waist, admitting to himself that his feelings for her had grown more tender.

He lowered his head, leaning closer to her face. His voice, still thick with sleep, came out hoarse as he whispered, "Wendy, did I hurt you? I'm sorry."

He said those words softly, almost to himself.

In her dreamlike state, Wendy didn't respond. Her breathing was light, her body so soft that every strand of her hair seemed to carry a delicate sweetness.

Stanley's throat burned with heat as he tried not to look at her youthful, inviting form. Despite his best efforts, he found himself leaning in, almost succumbing to the desire to kiss her soft hair.

Just as his lips were about to brush against her, Wendy made a small sound and slowly opened her eyes.

She was awake.

Stanley quickly regained his senses, stunned by what he'd almost done. What had come over him?

He actually wanted to kiss Wendy's hair!

How could he,

    Halsey nodded. "Okay."Zada turned and walked out.Sierra, standing by the door, immediately slipped into the corner, watching Zada leave her line of sight.She crept back to the doorway and looked inside at Halsey. Halsey's head was bowed, her expression heavy. She was no longer the sparkling, pampered heiress everyone adored. Sierra felt a thrill of satisfaction.In truth, she had always been jealous of Halsey. Halsey had everything she wanted—beauty, attention, admiration. Sierra couldn't accept it. As she hid in the shadows, watching Halsey, her mind had already twisted into something dark and sick. Sierra wanted to take Halsey down, make her life miserable, and watch her suffer.She also wanted Halsey's man. She wanted to be Mrs. Lane.And now, the moment had come.Zada had gone back to make soup for Halsey. If Sierra could slip something into that soup, she could kill Halsey. And she had Zada, the perfect unwitting accomplice. Nobody would know it was her.Smiling

    Sierra wouldn't clarify the matter, of course, but she couldn't explain herself to Zada either. After all, Zada was her strongest pawn, the one she needed to use to take down Halsey."I-I…" Sierra stammered, unable to finish her sentence.Just then, a gentle ringtone sounded. Someone was calling Zada.Zada pulled out her phone, and Sierra's sharp eyes immediately caught the caller ID. It was Halsey.Zada answered, "Hey, Halsey."Since Zada hadn't put the call on speaker, Sierra couldn't hear what Halsey was saying. Zada's expression instantly changed, and she jumped to her feet. "What did you say? You're in the hospital?"Halsey was in the hospital?Sierra's heart pounded in her chest."Okay. I'm coming right now." Zada hung up and started moving.Sierra grabbed her arm. "What's going on? Did something happen to Halsey?"Zada's face was serious. "She's been experiencing some pain in her abdomen today. She's already in the hospital, and I need to go see her.""I'll go wit

    Zada was stunned. In that moment, it felt like the sky had fallen.Zada had genuinely trusted Sierra, never expecting that everything about Sierra was fake. Her face and her name were fake, and she had been using Zada all along to go after Halsey.Zada couldn't believe it. "So those three thugs really were sent by her! She planned this from the start, got close to me on purpose, and wanted to use me against you. It was all part of her scheme!"Halsey felt a flicker of relief. Zada wasn't completely lost—at least now, she'd woken up to the truth.Taking a sip of coffee, Halsey said, "Now that you think back on all the moments you spent with her, can't you start to see the clues? Something that's fake can never be real. No matter how convincing, there are always cracks."Zada thought back for a moment. Sierra had always been sneaky, and now, it all made sense."Sierra is way too cunning. If I hadn't run into those three thugs today, I can't imagine how long she would've kept deceiv

    The lawyer nodded. "Go ahead. I'll take care of things here."Zada replied, "Okay."She walked out of the police station and pulled out her phone, dialing Halsey's number. The line rang once before being picked up at a calm, unhurried pace. Halsey's voice came through. "Hey.""Where are you? I need to see you. There's something really important I have to ask you!"Halsey replied, "Let's meet at our usual café.""Okay," Zada said before hanging up. She then headed straight to the café.At the same time, Halsey was in the CEO's office at Lane Corporation with Shaun and Warren.After hanging up, Shaun asked, "What did Zada want?""She wants to meet me at a café," Halsey replied."Go," Shaun said. "I'm sure you know already. There can't be such a weird coincidence. I arranged for the three guys to show up in front of Zada."Warren added, "You had Shaun investigate Zada's situation. He found the three guys, taught them a lesson, and then arranged for them to appear in front of Z

    The lawyer nodded at Zada. "You can count on me. I promise I'll do everything to make sure you win this case!"The three guys sat frozen in their chairs, faces pale with fear. "Please… Just let us go. We really don't wanna go to jail."Zada's eyes narrowed. "Let you go? In your dreams!"The men panicked. "Honestly… We were acting on someone else's orders that night!"Zada froze. "What did you just say?""We'll come clean! Someone paid us to follow you that night," another admitted.Zada couldn't believe it. "Are you kidding me? Someone paid you to do this? Who?" She was an ordinary college student with a nice personality. Who would be cruel enough to hire these guys to humiliate her? Only a monster would do that."We'll tell you everything, but can you at least write a statement so we don't go to jail? We were short on cash, and when someone offered money, we just lost our heads," one explained."We didn't actually hurt you, right?" the other added nervously.Zada fixed them

    "What do you mean?" Zada asked.Halsey squared her shoulders. "I mean exactly what I said. You ready to bet me?"Zada thought for a second. "Why not? Sierra keeps saying she wants to patch things up with you and stay friends. I believe she'll say yes.""Great. It's a bet, then. I'll be waiting for good news," Halsey said, and she walked off.Zada stood there for a moment, planning to go find Sierra. Just then, she saw three familiar figures—the same guys who had tried to assault her that night. They were loitering, arms over each other's shoulders, sitting outside a little BBQ joint and eating ribs and fries. Zada couldn't be mistaken—she would recognize them anywhere.She pulled out her phone and dialed 911. "Hello? Is this the police?" That night, those three had cornered Zada while she was out for an evening run, and Sierra had happened to walk by and save her. The men had run off then, but now seeing them again made Zada determined to get them locked up.Inside, the three
