Chapter 440
Jessica froze for a moment, then quickly grabbed Stanley’s arm.
“Where are you going?”
Stanley’s voice was firm, “I’m going back. Wendy is still inside
“You’re actually going back to save Wendy?”
Stanley pulled his arm away from Jessica’s grip. I can’t just leave her here.”
I can’t
Without another word, Stanley turned and started walking away.
Jessica rushed after him, desperate to stop him. “Stanley, my heart hurts so much! I think I’m going to faint!”
Yet no matter how fnuch Jessica called out to him, Stanley kept walking, determined to go back
Stanley entered the warehouse and found that Scarface and his men were all lying on the ground, unconscious. Wendy was nowhere to be seen.
Stanley immediately grabbed Scarface by the collar. “Where’s Wendy?”
Scarface groaned, clutching his eyes in pain. “She ran away! That damn woman must’ve secretly untied herself, and when we got too close, she threw something at us–some kind of powder. Ugh, my eyes, they’re burning. I can’t see!”
Scarface and the black–clad men were writhing on the floor completely out of it from the powder Wendy had used on them.
Stanley rushed forward and noticed the warehouse window was open. Wendy must have escaped through it.
He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “Take care of this, and find Wendy!”
Stanley got Jessica to the hospital, where Edith, Lilian, and Trish were already waiting.
Lilian took Jessica’s hand, her concern clear. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, Mom.”
“Then what about Wendy?”
Jessica bit her lip in frustration. “Wendy ran off by herself.”
What?
Lilian was stunned for a moment. This whole kidnapping had actually been a plan between her and Jessica. Scarface had been hired with a large sum of money for the job.
They had intended to force Stanley into making a choice, to hurt Wendy and show her her place.
On the other hand, they had planned for Scarface to take advantage of Wendy before they bound her up and took her heart.
Yet, Wendy had managed to escape on her own.
Lilian’s face darkened. “She got away? Where did she go?”
Jessica shook her head. “I don’t know. Stanley’s already called for people to search for her, but they haven’t found

her yet.”
Outside, Stanley stood tall in the corridor as Zayn approached quietly to report, “There’s still no news on Ms. Wendy. She didn’t return to Royale Residences.”
Stanley’s lips pressed into a thin line. Where could she have gone?
“Keep looking.”
“Will do, sir.”
Wendy had managed to escape alone. On her way back, she happened to run into Samuel, who had come looking for her.
Samuel’s voice was filled with concern. “Are you okay?”
Wendy placed a hand over her flat stomach, her face pale as she shook her head. “I’m fine.”
“Why are you holding your stomach? What’s wrong with it?”
Wendy opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything, her vision darkened, and she collapsed.
“Wendy, Wendy!” Samuel quickly lifted Wendy into his arms, carrying her back to his villa.
When Wendy opened her eyes again, she was lying on the large bed in a room of the villa. Samuel was sitting at her bedside.
“You’re pregnant, and you were in shock. You need to rest,” Samuel said softly.
Wendy sat up, her expression troubled. As a doctor, she knew exactly what had happened.
She placed her hand gently on her stomach. The baby was still there.
