Chapter 667
Wendy sat speechless, staring at Stanley in shock. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard—he actually “claimed he was going to be a homewrecker!
A man like Stanley, with his status and influence, had no shortage of women. Yet here he was, willing to step down from his pedestal just to be a third wheel.
On the other end of the line, Samuel was clearly stunned as well. He was at a loss for words.
“Anyway, I’m busy. Bye.
Without waiting for a response, Stanley hung up the phone. He turned to Wendy, who was still staring at him in disbelief. A crooked smile played on his lips.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Wendy shivered, her long lashes fluttering. “You shouldn’t have said those things to Samuel. It’s only going to cause misunderstandings.”
Stanley reached out and gently cupped Wendy’s delicate chin. “Every word I said is true. Why shouldn’t I say it? Or are you worried my words will cause trouble for you? Make it hard for you to explain to Samuel when you’re back?
Wendy hesitated. “Both, actually.”
Stanley grinned. “There’s a way to solve both those problems at once.”
“What is it?”
“Divorce Samuel and marry me.”
Wendy looked at him quietly for a moment. “You should probably think about your relationship with Jessica. The marriage alliance between the Hawk and Larson families is inevitable.”
Stanley opened his mouth to speak, but she cut him off.
“Mr. Hawk, Bella and Mrs. Angela are still missing. Even though you’ve sent people to look for them, I don’t want to talk about anything else right now. I just want them to come back safely. Can we agree on that?”
Stanley nodded. “Fine. Once Bella and my mom return, we’ll talk about this again.”
Bella and Angela were locked away in a small, dark room by the men in black.
Terrified, Bella whimpered, “Where are we? I’m so scared. I want Mommy…”
Angela pulled Bella close. “It’s okay, Bella. This is the Capital. My son will come soon to rescue us.”
Bella’s voice was soft and full of hope. “Really? Mr. Handsome will save us?”
Angela nodded firmly. “Of course he will! So don’t be scared–I’m right here with you.”
Bella’s confidence grew. “My Mommy will come to save us, too. She’s really amazing.”
Angela looked down at her legs, now fully healed, and felt a deep gratitude toward Wendy.

She hadn’t treated Wendy kindly–every time they met, she would tell Wendy to stay away from her son. Yet, Wendy hadn’t held a grudge and instead healed her legs. Angela agreed that Wendy was truly a remarkable woman.
Angela smiled gently. “Yes, your mom really is amazing.”
“Mr. Handsome is wonderful, too. I want him and Mommy to get married. They’re perfect for each other.”
Angela blinked in surprise. “Isn’t your mom already married? I heard she married Samuel.”
Bella shook her head. “No, she’s been single for the past three years. She lives with me. I want Mr. Handsome to be my daddy…”
Angela was stunned. So Wendy was still single–she didn’t marry Samuel.
Why?
Their daughter was already so old. Why hadn’t they gotten married?
Confusion filled Angela’s eyes. She could only wait until she was free to tell Stanley and have him investigate.
At that moment, a luxury car pulled up outside, and a familiar figure stepped out–it was Jessica.
The men in black were all her hires. With her current power, disrupting the Capital airport’s surveillance and taking Bella away was no longer a difficult task.
