“Mrs. Angela, please don’t blame Stanley. It’s all that Wendy’s fault–she knows exactly how to seduce men. Now, Stanley doesn’t even want to marry me because of her,” Jessica went on.
Angela turned to Horace. “I’m really sorry about this.”
Horace raised an eyebrow. “Our families have a marriage engagement. But if Stanley doesn’t want to marry Jessica, we wouldn’t force him. Still, Jessica loves Stanley with all her heart. As a father, I only want my daughter to be happy and find joy in her life.”
Horace surveyed Jessica with affection. As a father, he would do anything for her, even if it meant reaching for the
stars.
Angela nodded. “understand. Don’t worry, the engagement won’t be broken. I’ll go and meet Wendy.”
Wendy had just returned to her apartment at Royale Residences. She had already planned to leave for Florias, so she was in the process of wrapping up her affairs.
Just then, she heard the doorbell ring.
Who could it be?
Wendy walked over to the door and opened it. Standing outside were a group of bodyguards dressed in black and Angela’s personal maid, Barbara.
Barbara looked at Wendy. “Are you Ms. Wendy Crone?”
Wendy nodded. “Yes, I am. Who are you?”
“Ms. Wendy, hello,” Barbara replied. “Mrs. Angela is in Hovendale today, and she’d like to meet with you.”
Wendy glanced at the bodyguards behind Barbara. “I’m guessing she didn’t leave me much choice, did she?”
Barbara smiled. “Seems like you’re a clever one. I heard you’re pregnant. Please, just come with me.”
Wendy wasn’t exactly surprised. She had known this meeting would happen, and so nodded. “Alright, I’ll go meet her.”
At that moment, Halsey walked in. “Where are you going? Who are these people?”
“It’s okay,” Wendy reassured Halsey. “Stanley’s mother wants to see me. I’ll be back soon.”
“This way, please,” Barbara interjected.
With that, Wendy followed Barbara out of the apartment.
“Wendy!” Halsey tried to stop her but failed. She immediately pulled out her phone and dialed Stanley.
Stanley, sitting in his office at Hawk Group, was reviewing some documents. The moment he saw Halsey’s name
on the screen of his phone, he answered immediately.
“Stanley, something’s wrong! Wendy’s in trouble!” Halsey cried.
Stanley paused, his pen frozen in midair. “What happened?
“She’s been taken!”

“Who took her?”
“You should be asking your mother! She took Wendy!”
Stanley furrowed his brows deeply. His mother had taken Wendy.
“Got it. I’ll go get her back right now.” Hanging up, he turned to Zayn. “Find out where my mother and Wendy are right now!”
Zayn nodded. “Got it, sir. I’ll handle it immediately.”
Wendy was brought to a hotel room. Barbara opened the door, and when Wendy walked in, she saw Angela sitting in a wheelchair.
Angela looked up at Wendy, sizing Wendy up with a superior and dismissive gaze, her expression filled with disdain and displeasure. “So, you must be Wendy.”
