Stanley said Jessica was just reaping what she sowed, but she didn’t think that was true.
Stanley didn’t want to spare Jessica another glance. He extended his long legs and walked away from her.
He was leaving.
But Jessica couldn’t let him leave. She collapsed to the ground and started screaming.
“Stanley, don’t go! Why are you doing this to me? Ever since you married Wendy, I’ve seen you change. You’ve fallen for her a long time ago, haven’t you? Now that you know Wendy was the girl from back then, you can’t wait to throw me aside. You can’t do this to me!”
No matter how much Jessica shouted, Stanley didn’t turn back. She could no longer earn even a second of his attention.
Zayn looked down at Jessica, who was still lying on the floor. “Ms. Jessica, Mr. Hawk is right. You’re reaping what you sowed.”
Jessica looked up at Zayn. She knew that Zayn had long sided with Wendy. He had always liked Wendy.
Gripping her fist in frustration, she spat, “Why? Why does everyone love Wendy? What is it about her that makes me so inferior?”
Zayn replied coldly, “I don’t think you should ask what you lack compared to her. The truth is, you don’t have a single thing that compares to her.”
Jessica dug her nails into her palm, her pride stinging from the sharp insult.
Zayn turned and left.
Everyone was gone now. Jessica was left alone in the dark room. Her face was still burning from the slap, blood staining her lips. Her body ached from the blows of the bodyguards, and she felt as if her whole body was falling apart.
She curled up in a corner. Stanley, who had once cherished her like no other, had now kicked her to the curb, and she couldn’t accept it.
Jessica was terrified now. She had no idea what her parents or Edith were doing, but she was confident they would come for her. They would save her!
The three–day deadline was quickly approaching. This was the second three–day period for the Crone family, and today, they would have to confess their crimes at Jerry’s grave.

Samuel, Halsey, and Cecelia had arrived early at Wendy’s apartment. “Wendy, are you ready? We can head to the cemetery now.”
Wendy nodded. “I’m ready. Let’s go.”
Halsey opened the apartment door and immediately spotted a tall, handsome figure outside. Stanley had been waiting for them.
Stanley had been there for a while, waiting by the door.
“Mr. Hawk, what brings you here?” Samuel greeted him.

Stanley’s gaze landed on Wendy’s delicate face. “I’m going to the cemetery too. I’ll drive you
there.”
Samuel raised an eyebrow. “That’s not necessary. I have a car. Wendy can ride with me.
Stanley’s eyes didn’t shift from Wendy, his stance unwavering. “Wendy, Jessica is in my hands, and I have some business to settle with the Crone family. You’ll ride with me.”
Wendy thought for a moment before saying, “Samuel, I’ll ride with Mr. Hawk.”
Samuel shrugged, a small smile forming as he looked at Stanley. “Alright, Mr. Hawk. You win.”
Halsey nodded. “Then I’ll ride with Wendy in Mr. Hawk’s car.”
Cecelia agreed. “Okay, I’ll take Mr. Samuel’s car. Let’s not waste any more time–let’s get to the cemetery.”
Wendy nodded. “Let’s go.‘
The two luxury cars headed toward the cemetery. Stanley sat behind the wheel, his large hand gripping the steering wheel as Wendy and Halsey sat in the back.
“Mr. Hawk, how’s Jessica doing these days?” Halsey asked.
Stanley’s lips curled into a thin, cold smile, his voice distant. “She’s been locked in a dark room. By now, she’s probably falling apart.”
