Wendy had just returned to Halsey’s house after performing surgery at the hospital , and she was there to pick up her bag .
Her phone buzzed with the incoming WhatsApp message from Halsey .
Wendy replied , [ I’m at your place . What’s up ? ]
[ Huge news , urgent news ! I just saw Jessica at the restaurant ! ]
The name “ Jessica ” made Wendy’s delicate fingers tremble slightly . Her mind immediately flashed to Stanley .
Before Wendy could respond , another message came through . [ I’m at the restaurant , and Jessica says Stanley invited her here for dinner ! ]
What ?
Wendy froze . Stanley invited Jessica out for dinner ?
Yesterday , he had promised to go to the courthouse with her to get married ; today , he was dining out with Jessica . What on earth was going on ?
Halsey continued , [ What do you think Stanley’s up to ? If he really is having dinner with Jessica today , I’m done with him ! I don’t want a douchebag cousin like that . ]
Wendy could sense Halsey’s fury , but kept her calm . [ Go ahead and eat first . ]
She put down her phone , her mind swirling with Stanley’s handsome face . Honestly , she didn’t understand what he was trying to do either .
Suddenly , the doorbell rang with a clear “ ding – dong “ .
Who could it be at this hour ?
Wendy got up and walked over to open the door .
At the restaurant , Jessica had already finished three cups of coffee .
A waiter approached her . “ Ms. Larson , would you like another cup of coffee ? ”
Jessica’s expression had darkened . She had been waiting here for a whole hour , but Stanley still hadn’t shown up . There wasn’t a trace of him anywhere .
The waiter suggested , “ Maybe you should call Mr. Hawk and see if he’s coming . ”
A cold laugh came from across the table . Halsey , who had been waiting with Jessica for an hour , also hadn’t seen Stanley .
“ Didn’t you say Stanley invited you here ? Then why hasn’t he come ? You’ve been waiting for an hour already . ”
Jessica’s face turned ashen . At first , she was sure Stanley would come , and she was ready to watch Halsey get proven wrong .
But now , Stanley hadn’t appeared , and the dynamic between Jessica and Halsey was shifting .
Halsey had been waiting to see Jessica humiliated and to prove her wrong .
It was infuriating .
Jessica’s mood soured . She glared at the waiter . “ What do you mean ? You think Mr. Hawk isn’t coming ? ”
The waiter wiped cold sweat from his forehead . “ N – No , that’s not what I meant . ”

“ Cut it out , Jessica ! ” Halsey laughed , cutting her off . “ Don’t make things hard for the waiter . He wasn’t implying anything . Why don’t you call Stanley yourself and see if he’s coming ? ”
Jessica clenched her teeth . Stanley had invited her last night . Now that he had been influenced by the Heartchain Curse , he couldn’t be away from her . There was no way he wouldn’t come .
“ Fine , ” she said sharply . “ Just you wait ! I’m calling him right now to make him come here ! ”
