Chapter 474
“Stanley, I’ve noticed something. You’ve really changed. You’ve started treating me so coldly. Why were you with Wendy last night?
“I was so forward just now, and you pushed me away. You want to be with Wendy, but won’t even touch me. Am I really not as charming as she is?”
Stanley’s handsome face was bathed in the soft, dim light, making it difficult to read his expression. “My patience. has limits. If you don’t show me the crystal pendant soon, Il-
“Look at this!”
Jessica pulled out the crystal pendant.
Stanley froze, recognizing it instantly. It was his–a unique family heirloom from the Hawk family, one of a kind.
It was his crystal pendant.
The girl who had saved him all those years ago… It was really Jessica!
Jessica looked at Stanley, her voice tinged with hurt. “I’ve kept this pendant all this time. It breaks my heart to see how you’ve changed. How could you doubt me? Did Wendy say something? Did she tell you she saved you?
“She’s really scheming. Back then, I felt sorry for her and let her stay with us. When I mentioned saving you to my mother, she must’ve overheard. She must’ve lied, saying she was the one who saved you.
“If it weren’t for this pendant proving my innocence, would you have been fooled by her? You doubt me just because of a few words she said? That was enough to make you question everything we’ve been through all these years?”
The girl who had saved him was Jessica.
Seeing the crystal pendant, Stanley couldn’t quite place the emotions swirling inside him. He felt a deep sense of disappointment, of loss.
He realized now that, deep down, he had hoped the girl who saved him had been Wendy.
His heart had already drifted toward Wendy.
And in doing so, he had hurt Jessica.
Jessica shoved the pendant into his hands, her eyes red with emotion. “Let’s break up.”
Stanley blinked in surprise. “Jessica…”
“I’ve loved you so much, but you’ve let me down too many times. From now on, we’re done! My life is no longer tied to yours. Go be with Wendy. I’ll pretend I never saved you.”
With that, Jessica quickly changed into her clothes and stored out.
Stanley stood there, watching her disappear down the hallway, his mind racing. He rushed after her, determined to explain.
He caught up with her on the stairs, grabbing her arm. “Jessica, listen to me.”
Jessica covered her ears. “I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want to hear anything Stanley, you’ve really broken my heart! You’ve forgotten all the promises you made.”
Stanley felt torn. He reached out and gently grabbed her shoulder, his voice full of regret. “I’m sorry.”

Jessica looked up at him, her voice shaky. “Do you still want to be with me?”
He thought about the promises he had made to her, the vows of loyalty and care.
Jessica was his girl.
Stanley nodded. “Yes.”
