Chapter 18
Wendy had been standing there for who knew how long her clear bright eyes silently observing Lilian s panic and embarrassment
Lilian froze on the spot.
Ted quickly hurried over to Wendy bending at the waist with a servile smile Ms Crone
Wendypulledout a pen and casually tossed it into the outdoor pool. “Dr. Whalen, I dropped my pen.”
Ms Crone I ll retrieve it for you immediately
Ted dashed outside not caring about the chilly late autumn water Without hesitation he jumped straight into the pool
Lilian walked over staring at the scene in disbelief
Moments later Ted surfaced dripping wet holding the pen in his hand like a prized treasure He looked at Wendy with an
ingratiating smile Ms Crone I ve got your pen
Lilian watched Wendy as if looking at something otherworldly
Wendy smirked What s wrong Don t recognize me
Lilian struggled to process what was happening She couldn t understand what Wendy had done to Ted to make him so obedient
like a trained dog.
Honestly Wendy continued I ve never understood why you treat me this way What more could you possibly want You took
my father s house seized his company abandoned his beloved daughter and even tainted the wine he cherished most and left
for me.”
With that Wendy stepped closer to Lilian standing right by her side
Today was just a small warning Let me reintroduce myself I m no longer the Wendy you used to know Next time it would be
best if you didn t provoke me
Lilian stared at Wendy in horror Wendy s once bright watery eyes now carried a coldness devoid of warmth They were dark deep and foreboding like a dangerous mysterious abyss that sent chills down her spine
Paralyzed with fear Lilian couldn t respond as Wendy turned and walked away
Outside Wendy stepped on to the lawn just as a Rolls Royce Phantom pulled up Stanley had returned to drop Jessica off
Stanley wore a sharp black suit exuding his usual aura of elegance and power Jessica in a striking red gown looked radiant and
beautiful Walking together they appeared to be the perfect pair
Wendy stopped in her tracks She thought she had healed but the memory of Stanley abandoning her last night to find another man for her came flooding back The heart she thought had just mended now felt as if it were slowly being torn apart again

Behind her Lilian s voice rang out Jessica didn t come home last night She stayed at Mr Hawk s private villa West Court and
didn t return until now
Wendy understood Lilian s implication Jessica and Stanley had spent the night together
His private residence Saville Villa was a place Wendy had never set foot in She didn t have the right
Her chest clenched with pain
Lilian chuckled Wendy it s such a pity Mr Hawk doesn t love you So what if you ruined things with Dr Whalen this time For Jessica Mr Hawk will undoubtedly get Dr C eyl an to treat her
Lilian spoke with absolute certainty
Wendy glanced at her briefly Oh really
Well she looked forward to seeing that
At that moment Stanley and Jessica were walking toward her Jessica looked surprised Wendy what are you doing here
Wendy looked up her gaze meeting Stanley s
Stanley hadn t expected to see her there It was their first encounter since last night He stopped in his tracks
Jessica clung to Stanley s arm flashing a smug smile Wendy Stanley chose me over you last night You re not mad are you
Lilian stood beside Jessica both of them clearly enjoying the moment waiting to see her humiliated
Wendy straightened her back and slowly smiled. “You’re overthinking it. A man who kisses so poorlyisn’tworth getting angry
