Chapter 557
Wendy and Samuel had already arrived at the airport terminal. Cecelia and Halsey were there to see her off.
Cecelia looked at Wendy with reluctance. “Is this really goodbye?”
Wendy nodded. “It’s just for a while. I will come back.”
Cecelia reached out and gently touched Wendy’s stomach. Okay. You should focus on the baby. I’m still waiting to be its godmother.”
Halsey embraced Wendy. “Are you really just going to leave like this? Mr. Hawk doesn’t even know you’re leaving He doesn’t know this baby is his. Shouldn’t we wait for hit”
Even though Halsey had always supported Wendy, Stanley was still her cousin. She couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t the way things should end between Stanley and Wendy.
Wendy smiled faintly. “Our relationship has run its course. You can’t force love.”
“Alright, then,” Halsey said, pulling Wendy into a tight hug. “Take care.”
Watching the three women struggle to part, Samuel laughed softly. “Alright, now. With travel so easy these days, you’ll be able to see each other again in just a few hours. Don’t make it sound like this is a permanent goodbye. Wendy, it’s time for us to go.”
Wendy pulled away from Halsey and Cecelia. “I’ll see you soon.”
“Bye, Wendy.” Halsey and Cecelia waved, reluctant to let go
Samuel grabbed the suitcase and turned, guiding Wendy away.
Though this city held many painful memories for her, Wendy couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of reluctance as she left.
This city held the best four years of her life. It was where she and Stanley had made all their memories together.
Just then, the phone rang. Wendy pulled it out of her bag and saw who was calling.
Stanley–he was calling her.
Wendy stared at the caller ID for a moment, but didn’t answer.
“If you want to answer it, go ahead,” Samuel said.
Wendy shook her head. “It’s fine. I have nothing left to say to him. Let’s go.”
With that, she hung up the phone and followed Samuel toward the gate.
Suddenly, a group of well–trained bodyguards in black appeared out of nowhere, surrounding Wendy and Samuel.
Samuel immediately stepped in front of Wendy, protecting her.
Wendy looked up, and saw Horace’s butler walking toward them.
The butler stopped in front of Wendy. “Ms. Wendy, I’m sorry, but you cannot leave Hovendale.”
Horace had sent people to stop her from leaving?
Wendy frowned, confused. “Why can’t I leave Hovendale? What’s going on?”
“After Ms. Jessica ran into you at the department store, she went back and fell ill,” the butler replied calmly, ”

She’s been unconscious ever since, and they suspect she’s been poisoned.”
What?
Wendy’s eyes widened in surprise. Jessica had been poisoned?
Her lips curled into a small smile. “And Mr. Larson thinks I poisoned her?”
The butler, a trusted servant of Horace, said without hesitation, “I don’t know if you’re the one who poisoned her, Ms. Wendy, but Mr. Larson would like you to go to the Crone family’s estate to get rid of Ms. Jessica’s poison. You can only leave when she’s safe and well.”
Wendy had never imagined that Horace and Jessica would stop her from leaving Hovendale.
What kind of twisted fate was this?
Samuel stepped infront of Wendy, a cold smile on his lips. “Your boss truly is domineering. What if Wendy refuses to go and insists on leaving Hovendale?”
The butler smiled. “Mr. Larson won’t let Ms. Wendy leave Hovendale. If she tries to board a plane, it won’t take off. Unless, of course, Ms. Wendy can sprout wings and fly herself.” (1
