Chapter 97

Penulis: Glazed Snow
Wendy's eyes gleamed in the dim light from under the blanket, and she suddenly burst into laughter.

Stanley, his voice hoarse, asked, "What's so funny?"

Wendy looked at him, a teasing smile playing on her lips. "Should I say I'm tired, or not tired?"

The playful, teasing tension hung between them, sparking desire.

Stanley chuckled, his lips curling into a grin as he leaned down to kiss her again.

The next day, at the Crone family estate.

In the bedroom, Lilian lay contentedly in Harry's arms, holding onto his neck as she playfully scolded, "You were rough earlier. You really hurt me."

Harry smirked, his thumb gently tracing her jawline. "Are you satisfied now?"

"Stop it…"

Jessica had called Harry, and he rushed home, ensuring that Lilian, who had been feeling lonely for so long, was now thoroughly satisfied.

As he held Lilian, he asked, "Did George really take Wendy away?"

"Yes," Lilian replied with a smile. "That annoying obstacle is finally gone. S

    "Mrs. Crone, you have to help me! Mr. Hawk locked me up! I managed to sneak out, but if he catches me, it's over!" George's voice trembled with fear, the memories of Stanley still haunting him. He pleaded for Lilian's help. Of course, Lilian would help George. He was her trump card, something she could hold over Wendy. She wasn't about to let her ace become useless. "Mom, what should we do now?" Jessica asked, her voice filled with concern. Harry's mood darkened. Lilian had just managed to do something that pleased him, and now there was a complication. "Lilian, what's your plan now?" he asked, a hint of irritation in his voice. Lilian turned to Harry, trying to calm him. "Honey, don't get upset. This isn't over yet." Jessica's eyes brightened. "Mom, did you think of something?" "Jessica, call Mr. Gondale. He does whatever you say, right? Now is the time we need him!" Benny genuinely cared for Jessica and treated her like family. Jessica nodded eagerly. "Okay,

    Stanley furrowed his handsome brow, lifting his gaze from the papers to look at Zayn. "Where did he go?" "George ran to the Crone family estate," Zayn replied. "And Mr. Gondale has already invited thirty-six media outlets from Hovendale to hold a press conference. They're planning to accuse Mrs. Hawk of abusing and abandoning her adoptive father." Stanley pressed his lips together, his irritation growing. What was Benny thinking? "What are you all doing? You incapacitated George, and he managed to escape?" Seeing his boss get angry, Zayn was drenched in cold sweat. "Mr. Hawk, it's—" "It's my orders," Wendy suddenly interrupted in a clear voice. Stanley turned to look at her. "Your orders?" Wendy nodded. "Yes, I told Zayn to let George go on purpose." Stanley's dark gaze deepened. "Why would you do that? They're planning to hold a press conference. That scumbag is trying to stick to you for life! I'll send my men to the Crones estate to bring George back, and the

    "Of course not!" Wendy immediately denied, her voice firm. "I wasn't with Mr. Hawk last night!" As she spoke, Stanley couldn't help but smirk inwardly. She was so afraid of Nathan finding out they'd been together that she lied to cover up their night.That little liar. Nathan glanced at Stanley, a puzzled frown on his face. "Stanley, why aren't you saying anything?" Stanley's handsome features remained emotionless, his eyes cold as ever. "Didn't she already say everything?" He decided to go along with her lie. Wendy, feeling the awkwardness creeping in, quickly tried to exit. "Mr. Hawk, Nathan, you two can talk. I'll step out for a bit." She left the room, leaving the two men alone. Nathan, clearly annoyed, walked up to Stanley. "Stanley, you need to be more perceptive." Stanley raised an eyebrow, giving Nathan a confused look. Nathan sighed dramatically. "When Wendy and I are together, you should find a way to leave and give us some private time. Got it?"

    "I sold everything I had to send her to school and poured all my money into getting her to the big city, but now she won't even acknowledge me. She said I embarrassed her and told me to go back to the countryside..." George sobbed so pitifully that he almost convinced himself. His performance deserved an Oscar.The reporters clicked their cameras non-stop, eager to capture the drama. The story of a father abandoned by his foster daughter was the kind of hot topic that guaranteed a juicy headline. They all hoped to break the story first.The reporters couldn't help but feel sympathy for George. They all began to criticize Wendy. "How could Wendy be so heartless?" "I never believed anyone was born evil in this world—until Wendy came along!" one of them exclaimed.Benny handed George a tissue, his voice filled with anger. "The whole reason we're holding this press conference today is to expose Wendy for what she really is. Too many people still don't know the truth about her. She c

    Everyone at the press conference was filled with outrage, with everyone pointing fingers at Wendy.Stanley's cold, sharp gaze locked onto her. He thought she deserved what was coming to her. Didn't she know this was a dangerous situation? How could she have come here alone?"Damn it!" Nathan muttered under his breath, stepping forward to protect Wendy. But someone moved faster. Stanley was already in front, his presence commanding attention.Nathan paused, feeling slightly bewildered. What was going on? Why was Stanley rushing in without thinking?The room, which was buzzing with chaos seconds ago, suddenly fell silent. Stanley watched as Wendy, the target of the mob, lifted her eyes—clear as a calm lake, yet full of power. She calmly surveyed the crowd, and with a single glance from her, everyone fell silent, as if the very air around her had shifted.Stanley froze in his tracks. He had never seen Wendy like this before.The reporters were also taken aback. They didn't und

    George's eyes widened in disbelief. Now he understood. He hadn't realized it until this very moment. When he got out of prison, Wendy was the first to know. She had been waiting for him the whole time. Everyone thought she would never speak of the dark past from her childhood. After all, a woman's reputation meant everything. And she never did speak up. She didn't tell Glinda or Stanley. When George demanded money, Wendy gave it to him without hesitation. He had easily knocked her out and kidnapped her. It seemed like he truly had her in his grip.But it was never like that.She had been pretending the whole time. She had been wearing a small surveillance device, making it clear that everything—whether it was his demand for 100 million or his attempt to rape her in the cave—was all part of her plan. She fed his greed with her fake obedience and guided him with her feigned endurance, leading him straight into the abyss of his own crimes.She had set the trap, and after ten

    The media conference had been a complete disaster for them.Lilian immediately said, "Wendy, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you earlier. Let me explain. I had no idea…" Wendy turned to look at her. "Are you sure about that?"At that moment, a police officer stepped forward and addressed Lilian. "Lilian Landon, you hid and assisted George during his escape. We reasonably suspect that you are an accomplice. Please come with us for questioning."Two officers grabbed Lilian by the arms.Her head buzzed. She remembered that, when George escaped, she had indeed sheltered him. Lilian stared at Wendy in disbelief. "You're behind this?" Wendy had arranged for Zayn to release George, knowing all along that he would try to approach the Crone family.Wendy looked at Lilian innocently, a slow, almost knowing smile creeping across her face. "I don't understand what you're talking about. Mom, you don't need to explain to me. You should go explain yourself to the authorities."Lilian was left

    Realizing Benny was still on her side eased Jessica's nerves just a bit.-After the press conference ended, Stanley returned to his luxurious Rolls-Royce. His voice was low and smooth as he addressed Zayn, who sat in the front seat. "Tell the media team I don't want any details about Wendy leaking out."Zayn responded in a quiet tone, "Don't worry, Mr. Hawk. Some of the female reporters deleted all the photos and videos of Mrs. Hawk right on the spot. They won't be reporting on her."Stanley's lips curved into a faint smile. "She really knows how to manipulate people."Zayn replied with sincerity, "Mrs. Hawk is truly brave."Stanley raised an eyebrow. Yes, she really was brave.He pulled out his phone and dialed a number."Hello, Uncle Cyril."Stanley's uncle was the dean of Clavendale University, one of the top institutions in the country, and a man completely obsessed with medicine. He was known and respected everywhere.Cyril's voice came through the phone. "Stanley, what

    Stanley furrowed his handsome brows.Jessica, feeling smug and proud, looked at Wendy with a twisted grin. "Are you really in pain? Then why don't you beg me? If you do, maybe I'll let Stanley take you to the hospital."Wendy gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, and shot Jessica a cold glance. "We'll see who ends up begging whom."With those words, Wendy turned and walked away.-Wendy returned to her apartment and immediately dialed Ernest, her other senior's, number. "Hey, Ernest. Stanley kidnapped Samuel. You need to send someone to rescue him right away."Ernest laughed when he heard the news. "Well, this is a first. Someone dared to kidnap Samuel? Have you fallen out with Stanley?"Wendy, still feeling a dull pain in her abdomen, her small face pale, replied, "Don't mention that man to me again. I'll just pretend I never knew him. I must have been blind to have ever loved him!"Ernest's voice softened. "Don't worry. I'll take care of Samuel's situation. But I can tell som

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    "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 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

    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
