Jessicaarrived.
Stanley froze instantly
The haze of desire that had clouded his judgment earlier seemed to evaporate at that moment He quickly averted his eyes a wave of shame washing over him
What was he doing He d been on the verge of crossing a line with Wendy
Wendy feeling the sudden loosening of his grip found herself freed
Stay here Don t go out Stanley said his voice taut
He turned and stormed off likely to look for Jessica
Just moments ago he had been consumed by lust but now with the mention of Jessica s name he pulled away from her without a second thought It was as if Wendy no longer mattered
Wendy s face which had been flushed with embarrassment slowly regained its natural color A bitter smile tugged at her lips How ironic she the legitimate wife felt like the mistress as though she were having an affair with Stanley while Jessica was the real wife

Soon the phone rang It was Lilian calling
Wendy answered the call
Lilian s voice bubbled with amusement on the other end Wendy I m sure Jessica went to see Stanley didn t she

Wendy s eyes remained cold as she didn t respond
Lilian seemed to be in a good mood I bet you were with Stanley but once Jessica showed up he probably abandoned you By the way remember when Stanley brought Jessica to Saville Villa She slept in his master bedroom on his bed
Wendy ended the call abruptly She turned her gaze toward the bedin the bedroom
His bed Just days ago Jessica had slept there
At the Crone family villa Lilian hung up the phone with a smile
Hank his teeth clenched spoke up Aunt Lilian Wendy caused all of this trouble Are we really just going to let her off the hook
Lilian s eyes gleamed with a mysterious light Considering the timing Wendy s foster father from the countryside should be out of prison by now
Hank sanger faded replaced by a smile George Ballard right He just got out a couple of days ago
Lilian s smile deepened Now Wendy s all grownup and married to Stanley the wealthiest man in Hove n dale she s living the high life an disfavored by Mom Let s bring her foster father over He should be enjoying the

benefits of his daughter s success now
Hank gave an approving nod Aunt Lilian I ll handle it
He paused then added Wendy is truly heartless She blinded George in one eye and sent him to prison
Lilian chuckled softly Wendy you think the show s over No this is just the beginning I wonder how the Hawk family will react to your dark past
Stanley entered the study expecting to see Jessica
Since Stanley had brought Jessica home a few days ago and she was the first woman he had ever brought back the house staff let her in without hesitation
But when Stanley entered the study he didn t see her
Wherehadshegone?
Suddenly two small hands covered his eyes A playful voice chirped I have a surprise for you
Stanley reached up to remove the hands from his eyes turning to find Jessica s radiant face filling his vision
