The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Wendy didn’t respond.

One of the maids sneered, “Wendy, don’t think you’re suddenly one of the Crone family’s heiresses. Let me tell you, there are only two heiresses in the Crone family: Trish and Jessica.

Another maid chimed in, mocking her, “Exactly! Ms. Trish is Dr. Ceylan’s assistant, and Ms. Jessica is soon to be Mrs. Hawk. What are you? Just a nobody! Now hurry up and take the chicken soup to Mrs. Lilian!”

The two maids looked down on Wendy, but she didn’t say a word. She simply took the bowl of chicken soup and walked toward the room.

As she entered the main hall, Stanley, who was speaking with a few businessmen, spotted her. His brow furrowed slightly.

Wasn’t Wendy supposed to be one of the Crone family’s daughters? Why was she working like a maid? Was this how she was treated by her own family?

Stanley’s thoughts turned cold. She hit and kicked him before, but now, in front of everyone, she couldn’t say a word. She was only brave when it came to bullying him.

Wendy entered the room, which was empty. She then placed the chicken soup on the table.

Suddenly, she caught a faint smell. It was subtle–almost undetectable–but Wendy’s sharp senses picked up on it immediately.

She closed her eyes, and then, without warning, collapsed onto the bed.

The door creaked open, and someone entered quietly.

It was Hank Landon, Lilian’s nephew, a lazy young man who sponged off his family’s wealth. He approached the bed with a sinister grin.

“Why didn’t Aunt Lilian tell me this country bumpkin was so beautiful?” Hank murmured, his lecherous eyes scanning her unconscious form. “Today must be my lucky day.”

He reached for her clothes.

“You can’t blame me! You’re the one who’s been standing in Jessica’s way, holding onto the title of Mrs. Hawk. Now you’re mine. Soon, Aunt Lilian and the others will burst in, and your reputation will be ruined, with scandals everywhere.

The guests exchanged worried glances. “What’s going on?”

Lilian smiled slyly. She knew the drama was just beginning.

Jessica, linking her arm with Lilian’s, grinned. “Mom, is this all part of your plan?”

Lilian chuckled softly. “Mr. Hawk and Wendy are about to divorce. Soon, you’ll be Mrs. Hawk.”

Jessica pouted, her voice dripping with affection. “Mom, you’re the best.”

Lilian turned to Harry. “Honey, you’re staying home with me tonight.”

Harry pulled her closer, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. “As long as you handle everything perfectly, I’ll do whatever you want.”

Lilian exhaled in relief, then turned to the others. “What’s that noise? It sounds like it’s coming from that room. Let’s go check it out!”

The group quickly followed her, eager to see what was happening. Archer and Natalie were among them, all hurrying toward the room.

Outside the door stood a maid. Lilian asked, “Who’s inside?”
