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.”
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.
Stanley, tall and composed, stood by the bed, handing Jessica a glass of warm water.
Stanley gently fed her the water.
