The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 81

When Wendy stepped out of the bathroom, Stanley was already gone, likely called away by Jessica’s phone call. A bitter smile curved on her lips as she shook her head at the situation.

Her phone buzzed, interrupting her thoughts–it was a call from Lilian.

Wendy answered quickly. “Wendy, Jessica invited a few friends over today. Why don’t you come join us?”

Was Lilian really being so kind?

Wendy replied with a simple, “Sure, I’ll be there soon.”

Cecelia, hearing the news, rushed over right away. “Wendy, I don’t trust Lilian’s intentions! Now that George is out of prison, are you sure you want to visit the Crones‘ residence?”

Wendy remained calm, her voice steady. “I’just need to confirm something.”

Still worried, Cecelia insisted on accompanying Wendy to the Crones‘.

When they arrived, the house was bustling with energy. Jessica’s guests had all arrived–Benny and a few other rich heirs from their circle.

The moment Benny saw Wendy, his expression soured. “Wendy, what are you doing here?”

Jessica smiled and explained, “I invited Wendy.”

Benny was visibly annoyed. “Why did you invite her? We don’t want to hang out with her.”

Wendy wasn’t offended. She blinked her eyes playfully, giving Benny a smirk. “I don’t want to play with amateurs, either.”

Benny froze, rendered speechless.

He wasn’t an amateur! He was a top player!

The humiliation from the last time he was utterly defeated in a game by Wendy surged back to him, and without thinking, Benny jumped to his feet.

“Wendy, are you brave enough to play again?”

He had to win, to restore his pride.

Wendy raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. “Oh, I’m too busy.”

Benny was ready to explode. “You little…”

Cecelia couldn’t help it and burst out laughing. Benny, the little tyrant, was probably only afraid of Stanley. Aside from him, the only one who ever seemed to put Benny in his place was Wendy.

She was sure that one day Wendy would make this little bully bow down to her.

At that moment, Lilian reappeared. “Wendy, you’re back! Since everyone’s here, let me introduce someone.”

George stepped forward, standing in front of the group.

Lilian smiled and said, “This is Wendy’s adoptive father from the countryside.”

Benny and the other rich heirs looked at George, puzzled. “This is Wendy’s adoptive father? Why does he only have one eye?”
