Chapter 40
Jessica’s arrogance was something Stanley had nurtured. She was the woman he’d spoiled rotten, and now, she wielded that
power.
Wendy gave a bitter smile. “Freddy, what exactly happened today? Did someone send Grandma a photo?”
Freddy handed over the photo that showed clearly Stanley and Jessica dancing intimately at a bar the previous night.
“This morning, someone sent this photo to Mrs. Glinda. They exposed Mr. Hawk and Jessica’s affair. Mrs. Glinda saw it and was
furious. She immediately sent someone to grab Jessica.”
Glinda truly cared for Wendy and hated seeing her upset in any way.
Wendy held the photo thoughtfully. “Freddy, who do you think sent this photo?”
“Whoever exposed Mr. Hawk and Jessica’s affair is clearly on your side,” Freddy replied.
Wendy smiled softly, her thoughts drifting. No wonder Stanley didn’t trust her–everyone seemed to think the same thing
At first glance, it seemed like she’d benefit from this situation. Either she or one of her friends could have sent it, using Glinda’s
hand to teach Jessica a lesson and take revenge for her.
At that moment, Glinda murmured from the bed, “Stanley…”
Freddy leaned closer. “Mrs. Wendy, Mrs. Glinda’s calling for Mr. Hawk.”
Today, Stanley had upset Glinda, and Wendy feared that this might cause a rift between the two of them.
Just then, a phone rang. It was Lilian calling,
Wendy answered the phone, and Lilian’s cold voice immediately came through. “Wendy, look at the mess you’ve made! You got Jessica sent to the hospital. You’d better come here right now!”
Lilian demanded she come to the hospital.
Wendy showed little emotion. “Alright, I’ll be there soon.”
She hung up, grabbed her bag, and headed out.
“Mrs. Wendy, are you sure you want to go?” Freddy seemed concerned, worried Wendy might get hurt.
Wendy reassured him, “Don’t worry, Freddy. I know what I’m doing.”
At the hospital, Wendy entered the VIP room. Jessica was sitting in her hospital gown, looking pale and fragile, like the classic sick beauty. Stanley and Lilian were by her side.

Lilian immediately started berating Wendy. “The doctor just checked on Jessica. Thankfully, she’s fine. But you went and stirred things up with Glinda, trying to use her to hurt Jessica. If Stanley hadn’t rushed back in time, Jessica might have been seriously. hurt, or worse. You’re ruthless!”
Wendy remained silent.
Stanley, tall and composed, stood by the bed, handing Jessica a glass of warm water.
Jessica cooed, “Feed me.”
Stanley gently fed her the water.
Jessica tilted her face up, looking at Stanley with a sweet expression. “Stanley, after all this drama with Wendy, your grandma’s
probably going to hate me even more.”
She reached out and tugged at Stanley’s sleeve. “You’d better love me even more now. You have to compensate for your grandma’s love I’ve lost.”
Stanley looked down at her, his gaze softening as he gently patted her head.
Jessica smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling with a victorious and provocative gleam as she turned her gaze to Wendy.
Wendy stood by the door, watching her husband’s intimate gestures with another woman. She felt awkward and alone.
“Wendy, what are you just standing there for? This whole mess is your fault. Apologize to Jessica right now!” Lilian sneered.
Lilian had called Wendy to the hospital just to apologize to Jessica.
Stanley slowly lifted his head, his dark, cold eyes locking onto Wendy’s face.
