Chapter 497
Glinda snapped at Lilianm “And you how dare you even talk to me! You seduced your late husband’s brother and plotted against your own daughter! Jessica and you sure have a lot in common. Today, I’ll deal with both of you!” Glinda’s cane struck Lilian with a sharp thud.
Lilian and Jessica were battered relentlessly, each blow like a thunderstorm. Both of them cried in pain, unable to hold back their tears.

Halsey, standing nearby, watched the scene unfold, almost ready to applaud.
Truly, Glinda was something else she knew exactly how to handle things with violence.
Glinda, exhausted from the outburst, finally paused and turned to Stanley, “Do you realize what you’ve done?” Stanley, his voice cool, replied, “Grandma, if you want to hit me, just say so. No need to make up excuses.”
Glinda was left speechless.
Halsey, watching Stanley, pressed him, “Do you know what happened to Wendy?”
Wendy?
Stanley’s tall, strong frame tensed in an instant. “What could happen to her? We saw her today, and she seemed fine.”
She was fine, indeed.
She yelled at him and scolded him, full of life and energy.
How could she be in trouble right after he left?
Glinda’s words cut through the air like a knife. “She’s in the hospital!”
Stanley’s voice immediately changed, his tone tightening. “She’s in the hospital? Which ward? What happened to her?”
Glinda’s eyes were filled with disbelief as she spoke, “She’s pregnant. Did you know that?”
The word “pregnant” hit Stanley like a punch to the gut. His hands, which had been hanging at his sides, slowly clenched into fists.
“I know,” he muttered quietly.
“You knew she was pregnant and you’re still here with this shameless Jessica?” Glinda’s voice rose in disbelief. Do you even have a conscience? Wendy’s a pregnant woman now. She’s not alone anymore–there’s a baby inside her. She needs someone to care for her!!!

She couldn’t believe Stanley could be so indifferent.
Stanley’s lips curled into a cold line. “She needs someone to care for her? Let her find someone else to do it.”
Glinda’s finger trembled as she pointed at him. “What are you talking about? The child inside Wendy is yours! Is this how you’re going to be as a father?“,
Stanley met her gaze with a quiet intensity. “Did she tell you the child was mine?”
“She’s unconscious right now. She hasn’t said anything to me, but that’s not the point. What is wrong with you? You think the baby inside Wendy isn’t yours? Who else could the father be?” Glinda snapped.

Stanley fell silent, his expression unreadable.
Halsey, sensing the underlying tension, asked sharply, “Are you saying you don’t think the baby is yours?”
Glinda gasped, her eyes wide with shock. “Is that what you think? Do you really suspect that Wendy isn’t carrying your child?”
Stanley looked down, his eyes dark and distant, saying nothing.
Suddenly, the sharp sound of a slap echoed through the room.
Glinda had raised her hand and struck Stanley across the face, the force of it turning his face to the side.
The room fell into an oppressive silence.
Lilian and Jessica exchanged uneasy glances, both of them full of thoughts they didn’t dare voice.
Zayn, terrified, didn’t make a sound. The relationship between Glinda and Stanley was always close, and this was the first time he’d ever seen her so angry at him.
Glinda continued to yell, pointing at Stanley. “You ungrateful brat! How could you even think that? The child in Wendy’s belly is yours!”
Stanley slowly turned his face back to its original position, his expression colder than before. He had always been a model of grace and composure, well–educated and well–mannered.
He was confident the child in Wendy’s womb wasn’t his, but he didn’t say so earlier.
