Horace s voice was firm Since you don t want to marry my daughter I won t force it However when our families made that engagement a formal contract was in place Bring that contract here and tear it up then this engagement will be officially bre ken
Stanley nodded Fine
And withthat,hewalkedoffoncemore.
Stanley Jessica gasped overwhelmed Mom Dad what amI supposed to do now Stanley doesn t want me anymore Brittany turned to Horace confused What s going on Doesn t Mr Hawk love Jessica
Horace shook his head slowly No he doesn t
If he doesn t love Jessica then who does he love From the way he acted it seemed like he s in love with someone
I ll tell you who he s in love with Jessica said quickly He s in love with Wendy
What?
Stanley was in love with Wendy
Brittanyfroze.
Horace nodded again Yes Stanley s in love with Wendy They were already in love back when they were in Hove n dale
Brittany hadn t expected Wendy s name but thinking about it Wendy was smart and graceful she was hard not to love Though this revelation caught Brittany off guard it made sense in away
Mom you have to help me I want to marry Stanley I must marry him Jessica begged
Brittany softened But he s in love with Wendy and I know Wendy well She s a wonderful girl and she deserves to beloved by Stanley Since they care for each other we should support them and call off your engagement
Jessica was shocked What are you talking about Stanley wants to break our engagement and if you won t standby me fine But how could you side with Wendy an outsider
“Wendy-”
Wendy Wendy It s always Wendy with you Have you forgotten who s your real daughter Wendy s nothing but as e duc tress She tricked Stanley into bed
Jessica Brittany s face went icy and she sharply cut the latter off
Jessica froze Since Brittany returned Brittany had never looked at her with such cold eyes

Both Horace and Brittany were encouraging her to give up They had accepted the broken engagement
Jessica couldn t accept it

With that Jessica turned and stormed off
“Jessica!”
