Penulis: Glazed Snow
At that moment, Stanley stood up. "I don't see the point in staying for dinner. I'm heading to the office."

Without another word, he strode away.

"Stanley? Stanley!" Angela called after him.

Jessica's eyes darkened as she watched Stanley leave. Over these past three years, she had hit more dead ends with him than she could count. But the more out of reach he seemed, the harder she wanted him.

Now that she was the richest heiress in the world, she believed she could have him.

Jessica moved closer to Angela. "Look at Stanley!"

Angela was furious. "Stanley shouldn't have treated you like that. Don't worry, I'll make sure to discipline him properly when we get home."

"Please don't punish Stanley anymore. I'll feel heartbroken if he gets hurt."

"You're way too kind to him."

"Honestly, it's not his fault. The real problem is Wendy. She came back to the Capital again, stirring things up with Stanley. Everyone knows the Hawk and Larson families are meant to be united by marriage, yet

  • The Heartbreak Prescription   Chapter 1006

    These past three years, the worst pain for Shaun wasn't physical—it was emotional. All this time, he had believed that Halsey had abandoned him.But she hadn't.Shaun looked at her. "So… You and Gilbert were never together?"Halsey laughed. "You really thought I dated him?"Shaun nodded. "I mean, if we don't talk about his personality, Gilbert's actually not a bad choice. He's handsome, rich, and ambitious, and you were once engaged to him. How was I supposed to know you didn't fall for him at some point?"Halsey could hear the jealousy in his voice, so she teased him on purpose. "Now that you mention it, Mr. Lane, Gilbert is pretty decent. Lots of rich girls in our circle liked him. I mean, he and I did—"Before she could finish, Shaun reached out and covered her mouth. "Stop. Don't say another word."He didn't want to hear it.Halsey gently pulled his hand away. Under the soft glow of the light, her almond-shaped eyes sparkled beautifully."No, I want to say it. Gilbert migh

    "Chelsea," Warren snapped, "I thought we were friends, but to you, I was just a tool. I wish I'd never met you! I'm not helping you—deal with the consequences yourself. Stay in there for the rest of your life!"Now that even Warren refused to help her, Chelsea completely froze. She really didn't want to go to prison—it wasn't fair! She couldn't accept it.Chelsea turned to Halsey. "This is all your fault! I had a bright future ahead of me, and you ruined it!""Chelsea, even now, you still haven't learned a thing," Halsey replied calmly. "It was your own greed that destroyed you."Shaun had no interest in wasting another word on Gilbert and Chelsea. "Take them away," he ordered.Gilbert and Chelsea were escorted out.Once they were gone, Warren turned to Halsey. "Ms. Mallin, I owe you an apology."Seeing Warren bow his head first, Halsey gave a soft smile. "Warren, you don't need to apologize to me. You didn't do anything wrong. You were just too stubborn and believed Chelsea."

    Halsey pulled out a voice recorder from her pocket and looked straight at Gilbert and Chelsea. "I recorded our entire conversation just now. This is evidence of your crimes. With both physical proof and a witness, you'll be spending the rest of your lives behind bars. Don't even think about getting out!"Gilbert and Chelsea gasped. They hadn't seen this coming—it was all part of Halsey's plan, and she had even recorded it."Give me that recorder!" Chelsea tried to snatch it away.But Halsey handed it directly to one of the officers. "Here you go, officer.""Got it." The officer nodded, taking the recorder. Then, he turned to Gilbert and Chelsea. "You have the right to remain silent. We'll see you in court."Chelsea's face twisted with anger as she growled at Halsey, "I really underestimated you! I can't believe I actually lost to you!""I told you a long time ago—Shaun was never yours," Halsey said calmly. "You kept coveting something that never belonged to you. Now it's time t

    Halsey chuckled. "Did something just click for you two?"Warren looked at Halsey in disbelief, then turned to Shaun. "Did you guys already figure out that Gilbert and Chelsea were going to make a move tonight? So you played along on purpose?"Shaun nodded. "That's right."A few hours earlier, Shaun and Halsey had been in the study when Shaun got a call from Warren.Shaun had turned him down right away. It was late, and no amount of money was more important than Halsey and his baby. He was staying home to be with them.However, Halsey wrapped her arms around his neck and insisted that he go to the company.Someone as alert as Shaun sensed something was off immediately. "Why do you insist that I go to the office?" he asked. "It feels like you're hiding something."Halsey smiled sweetly at him. "Like what?"Shaun frowned. "Like… I seriously think you're trying to get me out of the way so you can sneak off again."That made Halsey laugh. "Do you seriously think I'll run off?"S

    Gilbert raised the knife and lunged toward Halsey's stomach.Chelsea laughed with joy. She had finally gotten what she wanted—Halsey and the baby would be gone from her life for good!Just as Gilbert's blade was about to strike, a small rock suddenly flew through the air and hit his hand square on."Argh!" Gilbert cried in pain, and the knife clattered to the ground. "What the hell just happened?"Both Gilbert and Chelsea turned around at the same time, just in time to see the warehouse door get kicked open. A group of officers stormed in."Hands up! Don't move!"The police had arrived—the authorities actually showed up!This sudden turn of events left Gilbert and Chelsea stunned. Still trying to recover, Gilbert shouted, "Where is everyone?! Where are my men?"The black-clad bodyguards had already been forced to the ground. "Mr. Greenwood, we've been surrounded!""What?!"Surrounded? How was this possible?Gilbert couldn't believe what he was hearing. They had planned e

    Halsey told Gilbert that she loved Shaun.Gilbert was fuming. How dare she lie to him and provoke him!He grabbed Halsey by the neck and tightened his grip. "Are you really not afraid to die?"Halsey's face turned an even deeper shade of red. "I am afraid! I can't bear to leave the baby inside me, and I can't leave Shaun. But more than death, I can't stand the thought of being with someone like you. You disgust me!"Gilbert snapped, "I'm gonna—"Just then, the warehouse door swung open, and someone rushed in."Gilbert!"It was Chelsea.Gilbert released Halsey's throat, and a rush of fresh air filled her lungs. She coughed twice, struggling to breathe.He turned to Chelsea. "What the hell are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Shaun and Warren?"Chelsea looked serious. "Warren's starting to suspect me."Gilbert's expression changed. "What are you talking about? Hasn't he always trusted you? He's never doubted you before.""I don't know what happened. Something just feels
