Stanley asked, [Are you back on campus?]
He was asking if Wendy had made it back to Clavendale University. After all, it was Lucas
who had driven her home tonight. The thought of her getting into another man’s car made Stanley’s lips tighten into a thin line.
The next moment, Stanley froze. A notification appeared, indicating that the text he had sent hadn’t gone through.
[You’re not friends with the recipient. Please add them as a friend before you can chat.]
Stanley was speechless, his face darkening. Wendy had blocked him. In fact, she had blocked him the day they got divorced.
It suddenly hit Stanley–they had gotten a divorce. It was over.
She had once loved him with fiery passion, but that was in the past. She no longer loved
him.
“Stanley, I don’t love you anymore.”
Her clear, gentle voice echoed in his ears–the words she had spoken to him that day. She
had told him herself that she no longer loved him.
Stanley opened her profile–she had changed her username from W to “Wendy“.
He clicked to send a friend request.
There was no response.
Wendy hadn’t approved his request.
At that moment, a phone rang, its melody sweet and melodic. It was Jessica.
Jessica was calling him.

Stanley didn’t answer. He gave a self–mocking smile as the lights cast shadows over his handsome, cold features.
At the Crone family’s estate…
Stanley still hadn’t answered the call. Jessica screamed in frustration, her anger spilling
over as she began smashing the vases in the living room.
Crash!
Glass shattered everywhere, the floor littered with broken pieces. J
At that moment, Harry and Lilian rushed in. Lilian immediately ran to Jessica and grabbed
her.
“Jessica, what are you doing? There’s glass everywhere! Be careful, you’ll hurt your
hands!”
Jessica shoved Lilian away, her jealousy and fury pouring out on the older woman. “It’s all your fault! Why did you have Wendy? Why does she have to be a genius? Just look at how Grandma treats her now! Stanley won’t even answer my calls! Gah, I hate Wendy so much!”
Lilian was speechless, unable to respond to her daughter’s outburst. No one loved Jessica
more than she did.
Harry stepped forward quickly, trying to calm Jessica down. “Jessica, please, don’t get too worked up. Your heart condition might flare up again.”
“Dad, I’m just so angry! Wendy’s just some country girl. She dropped out of school at 16, but somehow, she’s turned into this genius! I’m so scared… I’m worried that Stanley will fall for her. Glinda doesn’t like me, and I’ve offended Bebe Lincoln. Dad, when will I finally marry Stanley?”
Jessica couldn’t handle everything that had happened today. Her beautiful face twisted in
frustration as tears streamed down her cheeks.

Harry, feeling his heart ache for his daughter, pulled her into his arms. “Don’t worry, Jessica. We’ll find a way. You’ll definitely marry Mr. Hawk!”
Jessica went to her room, collapsing onto the bed.

Meanwhile, Harry returned to the living room, where the maids had already cleaned up the mess, and sat down on the sofa.
The TV in the living room was playing a news channel, where the reporter was making an
announcement.
“It is reported that the business magnate, Horace Larson, returned to the Capital yesterday, making an appearance at Queensland Cemetery. For years, Mr. Larson, the world’s richest man, has been searching for his daughter, who went missing as a child. To this day, he has yet to find her.”
The screen shifted to the Royal Cemetery, a dreary, rain–soaked day. A tall, distinguished figure stood silently in front of a gravestone, with his personal butler holding a black umbrella over his head. Tiny droplets of rain slid off the umbrella, obscuring the man’s
face.
In the cold, somber atmosphere, the rain added a mysterious depth to the scene, making it all the more haunting.
