Chapter 487
Wendy was furious, and her stomach started to ache once again.
She gave herself a quick injection, hoping it would case the pain, and decided to lie down and rest.
Just then, a soft ringtone sounded. Someone was calling.
It was Cecelia.
Wendy quickly answered the phone. “Hello?”
Cecelia’s voice immediately came through, filled with pani “Wendy, something’s happened here.”
Wendy’s heart skipped a beat. “What’s going on?”
“I just got home from work, but suddenly a group of people barged into my house. I was so scared I had to hide in my room.”
“What? Who are these people? Did you call the police?”
“I already did, but they’re looking everywhere for me. They keep saying that anyone who offends Mr. Hawk won’t have a good ending.”
Stanley?

Wendy gripped the phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Stanley had just gone after Samuel, and now he was targeting her best friend?
Stanley knew how much she cared for the people around her, yet he was pushing her like this.
“What happened between you and Mr. Hawk? These people keep saying Hovendale is Mr. Hawk’s territory, and that we should just do what he says…”
Wendy quickly responded, “I’m coming over right now-
Before Wendy could finish her sentence, Cecelia let out a shrill scream. “Ahh!!”
Wendy’s face turned pale. She tightened her grip on the phone and shouted, “Are you okay? Cecelia!”
The phone line filled with loud noises, and then the call was abruptly cut off.
Wendy’s heart sank. Something had definitely happened to Cecelia.
She jumped to her feet, threw on some clothes, and rushed to the door.
Reaching Stanley’s apartment, she rang the doorbell repeatedly, the sound echoing through the hallway.
The door opened quickly.
Wendy’s hand tightened into a fist. “Stanley, do you even have any boundaries? If you hurt Cecelia, I swear-
“Wendy!” Jessica interrupted, cutting her off.
Wendy froze, confused. It wasn’t Stanley who had opened the door–it was Jessica.
Jessica, still standing in the doorway, flashed a mocking smile. “He’s in the shower. What do
you
want?”
The way Jessica mentioned Stanley was loaded with innuendo, sending a clear message to Wendy.

Wendy’s eyes
narrowed. “I want to see him.”

“Well, just because you want to see him doesn’t mean you can. Stanley is the CEO of Hawk Group. A lot of people want to see him. What makes you think you deserve to meet him?”
As Jessica spoke, she took a moment to size Wendy up with a sly glance. “Did something happen to your best friend?”
Wendy’s face tightened. “You know about this?”
“Of course I know,” Jessica said with a smile. “Stanley already warned you. If you don’t treat my heart condition, he’ll take the next step. Everyone you care about will pay the price.”
Wendy’s hands clenched into fists, her frustration boiling over.
Jessica took a step closer, her grin widening. “Look at you, losing to me again. You can’t win against me.”
Wendy felt the weight of her defeat. She no longer had any Hope for Stanley. With a cold glance at Jessica, she turned and walked away.
As Wendy’s figure disappeared from sight, Jessica chuckled She pulled out her phone and dialed Lilian’s number. “Hey, Mom. Everything is going according to plan. Let’s move on to the next step.”
Lilian’s voice came through the line. “Sure. Don’t worry, Jessica. I’ll make sure they take care of that baby inside Wendy. You’ll be able to rest easy soon.”
“Thanks, Mom.”
