The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 22
Stanley froze for a moment.Wendy lay beneath him, her silky black hair cascading over the crimson bedspread—a shade specifically chosen by Glinda for their wedding room. The red accentuated the creamy fairness of her skin, making her appear luminous, almost ethereal. There was an air of sensuality about the scene, but the thought of her lying like this beneath another man...Stanley's fists clenched involuntarily.He had intended to clarify that the 'delivery' last night was medicine, not a man. But as the words reached his lips, they refused to come out.Wendy's cold gaze met his. "Move."She had ordered him to move.Stanley didn't budge.Frustrated, Wendy began to struggle. The memory of him bringing Jessica into his private wing last night flashed through her mind, and it made her recoil from even the slightest physical contact with him."Stanley, get off me! After spending the night with Jessica, did you even bother to clean yourself?"Stanley stiffened in silence.In

Stanley pinched the bridge of his nose, realizing that he had forgotten.Nathan Lowe had returned to the country.The Hawk and Lowe families had long been the top aristocratic families in Hovendale, and they were also close friends. He and Nathan had grown up together and were good friends.Nathan was back in the country today, and now Jessica, Benny, and Sienna were all at 1996 Bar.Sienna's cheerful voice rang out, "Stanley, hurry up and come!"Sienna liked Nathan. Her dream was to marry him, but Nathan was very selective, and it was hard for any woman to catch his eye."I'll be there soon," Stanley said, standing.Honestly, Wendy going out to find a man had nothing to do with him. Why should he be angry?A small-town girl, who had nothing else to do besides playing with men, was indeed shallow. She couldn't compare to Jessica.Let her play. It didn't matter who she played with!-That night, a Ferrari sports car roared as it sped down the road.Cecelia, who sat in the pa
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 24
At that moment came a melodious ringtone, signaling an incoming call. It was from Stanley.Nathan guessed that Stanley was probably urging him to come to 1996 Bar.Nathan turned his car around. Hovendale was Stanley's turf, and once he got to 1996 Bar, all he needed was for Stanley to help him find out who owned the Ferrari.-Wendy drove into the alley, and Cecelia said cheerfully, "Wendy, you shook him off!"Just as the words left her mouth, there was a loud collision, and the Ferrari crashed into the wall.Bang!Wendy's legs went weak. It had been three years since she last raced, and today, encountering such a tough opponent in a high-speed race made her heart pound.Wendy and Cecelia got out of the car. The front of the Ferrari had been dented."Wendy, what should we do now?" Cecelia said, her legs shaking.Wendy steadied herself. "It's fine. I'll call Stanley's secretary and have him handle it."She dialed Zayn's number.-Nathan arrived at 1996 Bar and entered a lux

Stanley lowered his gaze to the photo, and his deep, cold eyes narrowed sharply. He recognized this Ferrari.Looking at Nathan, Stanley asked, "Was the woman driving this car?"Nathan nodded. "Yeah, she even shook me off. She's quite interesting."Stanley, if he recalled correctly, had given Wendy this Ferrari. In addition to a huge check, he had also given her some cars and houses. At that time, Zayn had told him that she had only chosen a Ferrari. He had found it strange—why would she drive a sports car?Stanley knew about Nathan's driving skills. In fact, they occasionally raced cars together. But Wendy was from the countryside—how could she have driven a sports car and even shaken off Nathan?Just then, Zayn walked over. "Sir."Stanley stood up. "I'll step out for a moment."Stanley left the luxurious booth and stood in a dim corner. Zayn whispered, "Sir, Mrs. Hawk called earlier. She went out tonight in the Ferrari. It seems like she raced someone on the road, and the car c
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 26
All eyes in 1996 Bar were drawn to Jessica as she dazzled the crowd with her confidence. Spinning gracefully, she moved right in front of Stanley, reaching out and pulling him up. Stanley, tall and with long legs, stood still, while Jessica, with her soft body, pressed against him and performed a seductive dance.The chemistry between the handsome man and the beautiful woman, coupled with the sizzling dance, sent the bar's atmosphere to a fever pitch.At this moment, Wendy and Cecelia entered. Wendy immediately spotted Stanley and Jessica.The two of them stood in the center of the colorful lights, with Jessica pressed up against Stanley, and his gaze fixed on her. They were the focus of the entire room.Cecelia immediately sneered, "Tsk, dancing so intimately with a married man—she really has no shame!"Wendy smiled and replied, "Stanley and Jessica have always been the golden couple. Let it go, don't mind them."Wendy and Cecelia made their way to their booth, but Cecelia cou
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 27
Nathan immediately recognized Wendy.Jessica hadn't expected Wendy to be on the dance floor, especially not dancing so provocatively. Wendy's graceful figure swayed with the music, her movements so relaxed and natural that her body effortlessly formed a seductive curve. Her hips swayed provocatively, reminiscent of the famous hip thrusts seen in pop girl groups.As a dancer herself, Jessica couldn't help but admit that Wendy danced better than her. Wendy was more precise, more alluring, and, if she were honest, more seductive.The men in 1996 Bar couldn't take their eyes off Wendy, some even whistling and shouting in admiration. The room was buzzing with excitement, and the men's gazes spoke volumes.Jessica clenched her jaw. Could this country bumpkin dance too? She, the lead dancer of a ballet troupe, was now being outshined effortlessly by Wendy, who seemed to be stealing the spotlight with little effort.Why was it always her?At that moment, Jessica felt a shift at her waist

Wendy chose to ignore him. "I don't know him."With those four words, Stanley's lips curled into a mocking smile, silently ridiculing Wendy.Wendy didn't know Nathan, but Cecelia did. It seemed like a good show was about to unfold. Nathan was Stanley's best friend.Cecelia chuckled. "Nathan, I think we should skip the drink. Wendy needs to head home."Nathan immediately grabbed his car keys. "Then I'll drive you both."Nathan followed Wendy and Cecelia as they walked away.As the three of them left, Benny and the other rich heirs started to murmur in disbelief. "What's going on? Does Nathan have an eye for Wendy?""But Wendy is still married to Stanley. Does that mean Stanley is going to get cheated on by his wife and his best friend?" Benny asked. Just as Benny finished speaking, Stanley's sharp gaze landed on him, his eyes like daggers. Benny immediately fell silent.Stanley grabbed his car keys. "You guys enjoy yourselves. I'm leaving."Sienna helplessly tugged at Jessica

"Ahhh!"Jessica's scream made Stanley slam the brakes, bringing the Rolls-Royce to a sudden halt.Jessica gasped for breath, terrified out of her wits. "Stanley, why were you driving so fast?"Stanley's face remained cold and dark. He glanced up, noticing that the Lamborghini, which had nearly caught up with them, had already zoomed past while he was stopping.Stanley pressed his lips together. "Are you hurt?"Jessica shook her head. "I'm fine."She then muttered, "I can't believe Wendy's caught Nathan's eye. Did you see how she was dancing in the club? I mean, she grew up in the countryside, dropped out of school at 16, and learned all these tricks to seduce men. She's completely lost herself—so shameless, so self-destructive!"Stanley's gaze grew cold as the image of Wendy's soft, seductive movements in the club flashed through his mind. Jessica wasn't wrong—Wendy had indeed learned all those seductive techniques. Even Nathan, who was usually so hard to impress, had been capti

The familiar announcement rang out.Benny shot up from the couch, his eyes wide in disbelief. "Damn it!"He swung his Zen staff and lunged forward, but before he could take a step, Wendy spun in the air, landing lightly and bringing her axe down on him. It was over in an instant—he was down. He was dead! He actually died!Benny couldn't believe it. The sudden turn of events caught Stanley's attention, and he looked over at Benny with a raised eyebrow.Benny, not one to admit defeat, huffed, [Wendy, let's go again!]Wendy agreed, and the second round began.Just two seconds later, Stanley heard Benny's voice erupt again, more furious than ever. "Damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it!""Game over." Benny had lost again.Still unwilling to accept it, Benny growled, [Wendy, another round!]Wendy replied, [Mr. Gondale, you should think about this carefully. If you lose the third round, your rank will drop.]Benny had always been at the top rank as the champion, but after facing o

Wendy's absence only seemed to highlight Trish's success.Trish signed autographs for the group of students, then cheerfully walked over to Wendy. "Wendy, I heard you were kidnapped by Paul. Why do you always get yourself into trouble? You're making our Crone family look bad!" No one from the Crone family seemed to care about her, only blaming her. Wendy wasn't the least bit upset—she was used to it by now. She gave a playful wink, her voice light as she replied, "I don't mind making the Crone family look bad, as long as you're there to make up for it."The comment struck a chord with Trish. She immediately smiled, her lips curling into a proud grin. "You heard about my academic paper, right? It was selected by the Medical Museum, and tomorrow, it's going to be officially displayed in their showcase. Our whole family is celebrating. Tomorrow, Grandma and my parents are coming to the Medical Museum to witness my moment of glory."Even Edith was getting involved—after all, Tri

Wendy pulled out her phone and found Stanley's number, but she hesitated for a long time before dialing.He had truly surprised her. Wasn't Jessica supposed to be his favorite? How could he bring himself to turn her down? Last night, Wendy had left without a word and never thanked him in person. She wondered whether he had seen the note she had left on the nightstand."Wendy, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and call Mr. Hawk! He stood up for you this time!" Halsey urged.Wendy pressed the dial button.The phone rang once, then was answered with a calm and unhurried voice.Stanley picked up the phone, but didn't say anything.The silence on the other end stretched on.Wendy's slender fingers tightened around the phone. She didn't know what to say.After a moment, his deep, magnetic voice broke the silence. "If you're not going to speak, then I'll hang up."Typical of him—domineering and direct."Wait!" Wendy quickly spoke up. "Paul's parents came to the school looki
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 149
In the girls' dormitory…"Ouch... It hurts... Halsey, please be gentle..."Wendy had returned to the dorm after leaving Saville Villa, and Halsey was carefully applying an ice pack to her face.Hearing Wendy cry in pain, Halsey cursed under her breath. "Paul is an animal! How could he do this to you? Where is he now? Wait a minute, Wendy—why did you come back alone?"When Halsey opened the door to the dorm, she was shocked to see Wendy walking in with a swollen red handprint across her face. Wendy's arms and legs were also marked with bruises and red imprints—clear signs of abuse.It was late, and Wendy had returned alone, her body covered in injuries. Halsey's heart ached for her.Where was Paul now?Earlier, Jessica had gone to see Stanley, so Paul was probably released by now.Wendy trembled slightly and, without a word, wrapped her arms around Halsey's warm body. "Halsey, my face hurts. I don't want to talk right now.""Okay, okay," Halsey replied quickly, "I'll stop askin

Stanley couldn't focus on the documents anymore. He stood up and walked toward the master bedroom.The room was empty—no sign of Wendy.Seeing the bathroom door was closed, Stanley stood at the threshold, his voice low as he called out, "Wendy, are you almost done?"There was no response.No sound came from inside.Stanley raised his hand, about to knock, but before he could, the bathroom door opened on its own.He paused, then walked in. The large bathtub was empty. Wendy was nowhere to be found.Where did she go?Stanley stepped out, and just then, a maid entered the room. "Mr. Hawk, Mrs. Hawk has already left."She left? Just like that?Stanley glanced at the untouched ice pack. "She didn't use it?""No, Mrs. Hawk said she didn't need it."On the nightstand, there was a note. Stanley extended his long fingers and picked it up. The note was simple.[Thank you.]She left without telling him and just left that little note behind for him.Stanley stood with his hands on h

Jessica clicked her heels in her crystal-clear stilettos and walked into the study.Wendy was left standing alone, frozen in place."I feel sorry for you because no one loves you."Jessica's words echoed in her ears over and over again.Wendy knew Jessica looked down on her. To Jessica, she was just some quiet onlooker, hiding in the shadows, coveting what Jessica had, her mother and Stanley. And Wendy had nothing— no one loved her.Jessica felt sorry for her.Wendy's chest ached as if a thousand needles were piercing her heart. The pain stretched deep inside her, reaching her core. It was so bitterly ironic. Jessica's mother and Stanley—they had all once been hers!Wendy's gaze lingered on the study door ahead. If Jessica spoke to him, would Stanley really release Paul?Jessica had told her to listen outside, but at this moment, Wendy had lost all her courage.She couldn't bear to hear it.Her heart, once warm, now felt like it was slowly freezing over. She realized she shou

Ursula quickly spoke up. "Today, my son kidnapped Wendy. Mr. Hawk rushed over to rescue her, and now he's holding my son hostage. Mr. Hawk refuses to let him go, all because of Wendy." What? Jessica's expression shifted immediately. No wonder Stanley had suddenly left Dr. Ceylan's lecture today. He had gone to rescue Wendy. How many times had this happened now? The last time, Wendy had been kidnapped by George, and it was Stanley who had rushed to save her. Now, Stanley had gone so far as to hold Paul? The Hawk and Andrews families had ties—for Stanley to go so far, did Wendy mean that much?Jessica clenched her fists. Frank watched her closely. "Ms. Crone, everyone knows you're Mr. Hawk's favorite. No amount of words from us can compare to just one request from you. If you speak to Mr. Hawk, I'm sure he'll release my son." At this, Jessica, Harry, and Lilian all smiled knowingly. Jessica's lips curled into a playful smile. "So that's all you wanted me to do
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 145
Stanley stood tall by the floor-to-ceiling windows, his long legs and imposing figure casting a shadow in the room. His cold, dark eyes seemed as if they were pools of ink—deep, distant, and dangerous. "Do you think this can be solved with just an apology? You should leave." Ursula's eyes filled with tears, and she begged, her voice trembling, "Stanley, please, I'm begging you! When you were a child, we used to hold you. Paul's our only child, so please let him go. I swear we will discipline him properly from now on." Stanley didn't flinch. His voice was cold as he gave the order. "Zayn, show them out." Zayn immediately gestured toward the door, his voice polite but firm. "Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, please follow me." Frank's face turned red with anger. "Stanley, are you really going to be this heartless? Just because of a girl like Wendy? I've done my research—Wendy's just some country girl with poor grades! Is she worth it? You're willing to tear apart the relationship betwe
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 144
Wendy cried uncontrollably, her voice breaking with emotion. "You're always so angry with me... Why does it matter if I put on makeup or wear lipstick? Jessica does it every day, and you never yell at her... If she had been the one taken, you'd be hugging her, calling her 'babe'... You just hate me, don't you? Why do you hate me so much?" Her sobs were raw and desperate, her delicate shoulders trembling with each breath. Her eyes were swollen and red, her nose pink, like a rose about to bloom, and tears fell in sparkling drops, endlessly streaming down her face. Stanley's expression shifted, his face turning pale. He quickly crouched down beside her, his hand reaching out. "Wendy, please, stop crying." She hardly ever cried in front of him. The only time he'd seen her cry before was in her sleep, when she had sobbed out for her mother to stay. This was the second time, and it was because of him. He couldn't bear to see her in tears. Stanley gently wiped a tear from
