Chapter 267
After the divorce, Stanley and Wendy never contacted each other again. This was the first time he had heard any news about her.
It turned out she had fallen seriously ill.
Jessica immediately grinned, her red lips curling with a mix of pride, pity, and mockery. “I never would have guessed that Wendy was so deeply in love with Stanley.”
Trish joined in, mocking Wendy as well. “With her background, she’ll never find another man like Mr. Hawk. It’s honestly a little sad when you think about it.”
Jessica tilted her head, gazing at Stanley with a playful pout “Stanley, now that your ex–wife’s sick, don’t you think you should give her a call and comfort her?”
Stanley remained expressionless, his handsome face still as composed as ever. He looked at Jessica. “Sure. I’ll call her right now.”
He made a move to reach for his phone.
Jessica’s expression instantly changed. “You wouldn’t dare!”
Stanley smirked. “Then why did you suggest it?”
He was just teasing her–he had no intention of calling Wendy at all.
Jessica felt a warm sense of sweetness in her heart. Pouting she huffed at him.
Trish immediately spoke up. “I can’t stand you two. How about I leave and let you guys enjoy your moment alone?
“1
Stanley stood up. “You two keep talking. I’ll be right back.” With that, he turned and walked out.
“Jessica, you and Mr. Hawk are inseparable now, and Wendy’s all alone.”
Jessica leaned back against the headboard, a contented smile on her face. She felt like everything had been worth it, especially her suicide attempt. “Wendy never knew her place. A country bumpkin with no education, no job… How could she think she had any right to fight me for Stanley? I just put her back in her place.”
“Keep it up, Jessica. Get Mr. Hawk to marry you next. Grandma even wants us to have our wedding at the same time.”
Making Stanley and Wendy divorce was just the first step. Now, Jessica was going to make sure Stanley married
her.
Even without Trish’s reminder, Jessica knew exactly what to do.
“Why didn’t Dr. Ceylan come today?” Jessica asked.
Upon the mention of Dr. Ceylan, Trish blushed. “He had a big surgery today and couldn’t make it, but I’ve got good news. Remember a while back, when our two families each invested 150 million dollars, and Grandma even mortgaged the family estate? That money has already doubled! Our family’s wealth has doubled!”
Jessica’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
Really! Do you still not trust Dr. Ceylan?”
“Yes, of course, I trust him! Dr. Ceylan would never lie to us!”

Jessica felt clated. Now, the entire Crone family’s fortune had doubled. Without Wendy, the family’s fortune had taken a turn for the better.
“How are things going with you and Dr. Ceylan?” Jessica asked again.
Trish immediately held out her hand, showing off a diamond ring on her fourth finger. The enormous diamond sparkled brilliantly, dazzling in the light.
Trish smiled sweetly. “He proposed to me, and I said yes.”
Wow.
Looking at the huge diamond, Jessica felt a flutter in her heart, but she wasn’t envious. She knew Stanley would give her an even bigger one.
Whenever Stanley made a move, it would make others jealous of her.
“Jessica, we’re all just waiting for the good news about you and Mr. Hawk. Once it happens, we’ll have a joint wedding. It’ll definitely cause a stir in all of Hovendale!”
Jessica nodded confidently. “Don’t worry. That day is coming soon.”
Stanley stood tall in the corridor, his long legs and imposing figure unmistakable.
Right then, Zayn approached with a stack of papers. “Mr. Hawk, these are the documents that need your signature today.”
Stanley glanced out the window, not turning to look at Zayn “Leave them in the hospital room.”
Zayn hesitated before speaking up. “Mr. Hawk, Mrs. Hawk… I mean, Ms. Wendy-”
