Wendy felt that it was time for her to finally show herself. The Crone family had been responsible for her father’s death, and it was time to settle those scores once and for all
And then, there was Stanley. He had always wanted to know who Dr. Ceylan really was.
Well, now she was ready to tell him.
At the CEO’s office in Hawk Group, Stanley sat behind his desk, reviewing documents. His hand moved swiftly with a pen as he signed his name in the bottom corner of each page with a sharp, decisive stroke.
Just then, the door opened, and Zayn entered quietly. “Mr. Hawk, we’ve received news about Dr. Ceylan.”
Stanley paused, the pen hovering in midair. His dark eyes shifted up to meet Zayn’s. “Go on.”
“We’ve just received word from Dr. Ceylan that the doctor will be attending the dinner tonight. The real Dr. Ceylan has arrived in Hovendale and has arranged to meet with you there.”
Stanley’s expression deepened, his gaze growing darker. He had been searching for Dr. Ceylan for what felt like an eternity. After multiple close calls and the mess with the imposter, the real Dr. Ceylan had finally arrived.
Tonight, he would see for himself who this mysterious Dr. Ceylan truly was.
Stanley’s lips curled into a thin smile. “Good. Let’s meet tonight at the dinner.‘
Later, Stanley arrived at the VIP ward. Earlier that morning, Lilian had called, saying that Jessica’s heart condition had flared up again, and she needed his company.
Stanley stepped inside and found Jessica fuming with anger. “Stanley, what happened last night? Why were you with Wendy? I know it’s her fault–she’s the one who’s been after you! She purposely bought a house right across from yours so she could keep tempting you!”
“Jessica,” Stanley interrupted, his tone firm.
Jessica glared at him, her anger barely contained.
Stanley took a deep breath before replying. “Last night, I went to find Wendy.”
“What?!”
Jessica froze for a moment, then quickly covered her ears, as though blocking out the words.
“I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want to know! Stanley, I went abroad before, and that was why I allowed Wendy to marry in my place. So, if you’ve slept with her, I won’t blame you, but please don’t let her manipulate you.
“She may be highly educated, but in the past few years, she’s just been a housewife. I don’t believe you’d fall for someone like her!
“I admit, Wendy is pretty, and she knows how to handle men. I’m sure that’s what drew you to her. She satisfied you in bed, and that’s why you started to pay attention to her. In the end, she’s just using her looks to get what she wants. You don’t love her. The one you love is me!”
Stanley’s handsome face remained unreadable. In truth, some of what Jessica said was accurate–Wendy did have a way of pleasing him, especially in bed.

Stanley’s mind wandered back to the images from last night, the way Wendy’s body had shifted under his touch. Just thinking about it made his throat dry.
He had spent the entire night holding her, and it was one of the most agonizing experiences of his life. The need to see her again was consuming him, and he didn’t even understand why.
He still valued women with high education, strong careers, and independent personalities—those who could challenge him. Wendy was brilliant, a prodigy even, but after becoming a housewife, she had no job, no career, and that didn’t fit his usual preferences.
But with her, it was different. He couldn’t explain it.
Jessica continued, her voice trembling slightly. “I’m not feeling well. The doctors said I can’t handle any more stress. I don’t want to hear anything that makes me upset.”
Stanley pursed his lips. “Dr. Ceylan has arrived in Hovendale.”
What?
Jessica froze, her eyes widening in shock. Then, a rush of joy filled her gaze. “Really? The real Dr. Ceylan is here in Hovendale?”
