Wendy stood calmly in front of Angela nodding slightly That s right
Angela pulled out a check and handed it to her This is for you Whatever amount you want to leave my son just fill it in
Wendy shook her head I don t want it
Angelascoffed.
I m sure you ve heard about the engagement between the Hawk and Larson families My son is meant to marry Jessica the daughter of the Larson family Only Jessica is worthy of him
The interests of the wealthy are complicated This is the path Stanley should take and it s the right one

If you re smart you ll take the check I m offering and leave far faraway
Wendy looked at Angela On the way here she had expected Angela to be harsh with her but the words weren t as biting as she had imagined
Wendy found it hard to dislike Angela perhaps because she had heard of Angela s story She saw no reason to make life harder for another woman
Wendy glanced at Angela and gave her a small faints mile You ve misunderstood I don t want the check because Stanley and I are over
Over?

She looked at Angela calmly and added gently As I was coming here I calculated the time I ve been married to Stanley for exactly four years For the first three years he was bedridden a vegetable At that time all I wanted was to help him recover
