Chapter 38
After speaking Jessica turned and left
Wendy furrowed her brow What kind of game was Jessica playing
Soon Sienna s scream echoed through the hall
Aaaa h Stanley something s happened
Wendy quickly turned back as she wondered what was going on
I
Sienna,panic written all over her face, grabbed Stanley’s arm. “Stanley, Jessica’s been taken!”
Stanley s expression darkened Who took Jessica
Grandma took her Grandma sent someone to grab Jessica Sienna replied anxiously
What?
Stanley’s
s presence suddenly grew colder as though the temperature had dropped to freezing
Just then Sienna spotted Wendy arriving and immediately pointed at her Wendy it s your fault Stanley someone sent
Grandma a photo it s the one of Jessica and you dancing closely at the bar last night Grandma saw it and flew into a rage and
sent people to take Jessica I m sure Wendy s the one who sent it
Wendy s expression remained calm but inside she was stunned She had no idea that someone had sent Glinda a photo
Stanley Wendy s so malicious She knows Grandma favors her and will take her side With Jessica s heart condition she wanted
to use Grandma to get rid of her
As soon as those words left Sienna s mouth Wendy felt Stanley s cold piercing gaze land on her He strode toward her his long legs carrying him quickly
Wendy met his eyes Stanley I didn t do it
Stanley s lips curled into a thin tight line and his voice was like ice Wendy you d better hope Jessica is okay
With that he turned and left in a swift stride
Sienna shot Wendy a look full of malicious satisfaction and followed Stanley
Wendy’s face went pale. She knew Stanley didn’t believe her he must have thought she was the one who sent the photo
She was the most likely suspect anyway
A sense of unease crept into her heart She quickly made her way to the Hawk family s estate

When Wendy arrived at the family estate she barely reached the study door before hearing Glinda s sharp voice
Jessica how can you be so shameless Stanley s married to Wendy now That means he s your brother in law Yet you go off
with him becoming a homewrecker Three years ago you left Now you think you could just come back because you felt like it
Do you really think the position of Mrs Hawk has been reserved for you all this time You re selfish and greedy
Jessica stood with her head lowered her delicate face pale Grandma it s not like that
Glinda, furious,snapped, “I’m giving you one last chance! Leave Stanley now. Go back abroad and never come back!”
to be with him
Trembling with fear Jessica shook her head Grandma I m sorry but I can t do that I love Stanley I want to
forever!”
Glinda’s anger boiled over, her voice trembling. “You’re shameless! If your parents won’t punish you, then I will do it for them
today!”
Freddy handed her a whip the Hawk family s traditional punishment
Glinda raised the whip and lashed out at Jessica
Aaaa h Jessica screamed in terror
The sound of the whip cracking through the air was sharp and heavy making anyone listening tremble
But the whip didn t land on Jessica It struck Stanley instead
Stanley had arrived just in time
He rushed forward pulling Jessica into his arms and shielding her with his body The whip came down hard on his back
