Chapter 547
Stanley looked at Horace and said firmly, “Uncle Horace, I’ll say this again I will never marry Jessica. The woman I love is Wendy!”
Jessica’s face crumpled with hurt and frustration. “Stanley!
Stanley yanked Wendy away from Horace’s grasp, pulling her back to him.
Wendy’s delicate form tumbled into Stanley’s warm embrace. Stanley immediately wrapped his strong arm around her slender waist, his voice low as he asked, “Are you okay?”
Wendy nodded. “I’m fine.”
Stanley’s voice rumbled. “Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Wendy tried to walk on her own, but Stanley effortlessly swept her off her feet and cradled her in his arms.
Wendy’s breath caught in surprise, but Stanley said softly, “Hold onto my neck.”
Wendy wrapped her arms around his neck, and Stanley carried her away, leaving Horace and Jessica behind.
Halsey turned to Jessica, sticking out her tongue and making a playful face. “Well, what does it matter if you’re the daughter of the richest man? You can’t even keep your fiancé!”
Jessica seethed, her face flushed with anger. “How dare you!”
“Hold on, Jessica,” Halsey interrupted, holding up a hand. “Don’t be mad. Remember, you have a heart condition. If you get too upset, Wendy won’t treat you.”
Jessica was speechless, her emotions swirling.
Halsey giggled and darted off before Jessica could respond. “Mr. Hawk, wait for me!”
Jessica, already upset from the earlier events, was now seething with fury. She grabbed Horace’s arm. “Dad, look at Wendy! She refuses to treat my heart condition. What am I supposed to do?”
Horace looked at her with a calm expression. “Once we get back to the Capital, I’ll arrange for the best doctors to examine you. I’ll find the top medical professionals from around the world to treat your heart. There are many excellent doctors out there, not just Wendy. I promise, I’ll make sure you get better.”
Hearing her father’s words, Jessica felt a sense of relief. With Horace’s status and resources, she knew he could hire someone as skilled as Wendy, if not better.
That way, she wouldn’t have to depend on Wendy.
Lilian, standing nearby, beamed with happiness. “That’s wonderful, Mr. Larson! Jessica has hope for recovery.”
“But, Dad,” Jessica interrupted, a worried look on her face. What about Stanley and me?”
Horace looked at his daughter with a thoughtful expression
“I can tell Stanley doesn’t have feelings for you. He’s very much in love with Wendy. You can’t force love you. Marriage is a serious matter, one that impacts your entire life. It’s better to let go of Stanle, suitable match for you. There are plenty of other young heirs in the Capital. You can take your pick.”
Jessica’s eyes narrowed. “Are any of them as remarkable as Stanley?”

Horace shook his head. “No one is. Stanley is not only the most outstanding heir of the Hawk family’s generation, but he’s also one of the most promising young businessmen today. Right now, he’s still young, but give him ten years, and his achievements will rival my own.”
Jessica knew deep down that Horace was right. She had met many men, but none of them could compare to Stanley. Not only was he a powerful figure in the business world, but his maturity, refinement, and character were beyond reproach.
“Dad, I don’t want anyone else! I only want Stanley!” Jessica’s voice was firm, filled with determination.
Horace sighed. “Jessica.”
Jessica clung to Horace’s arm, her tone sweet but pleading. ‘If you truly want me to be happy, help me get Stanley! We already have a marriage agreement. Stanley was always meant to be mine!”
Jessica would never give Stanley up to Wendy. Though she could win the title of the richest daughter, she wouldn’t settle for losing but on being Mrs. Hawk.
She couldn’t allow herself to be less than Wendy, especially when Stanley’s time in the business world came. She would not be beneath Wendy!
Lilian added, “Mr. Larson, you may not know this, but Jessica and Mr. Hawk have known each other for many years. Jessica really loves him, deeply and profoundly. No one could ever replace him.”
