Chapter 267
After the divorce , Stanley and Wendy never contacted each other again . This was the first time he had heard any news about her .
It turned out she had fallen seriously ill .
Jessica immediately grinned , her red lips curling with a mix of pride , pity , and mockery . “ I never would have guessed that Wendy was so deeply in love with Stanley . ”
Trish joined in , mocking Wendy as well . “ With her background , she’ll never find another man like Mr. Hawk . It’s honestly a little sad when you think about it . ”
Jessica tilted her head , gazing at Stanley with a playful pout “ Stanley , now that your ex – wife’s sick , don’t you think you should give her a call and comfort her ? ”
Stanley remained expressionless , his handsome face still as composed as ever . He looked at Jessica . “ Sure . I’ll call her right now . ”
He made a move to reach for his phone .
Jessica’s expression instantly changed . “ You wouldn’t dare ! ”
Stanley smirked . “ Then why did you suggest it ? ”
He was just teasing her – he had no intention of calling Wendy at all .
Jessica felt a warm sense of sweetness in her heart . Pouting she huffed at him .
Trish immediately spoke up . “ I can’t stand you two . How about I leave and let you guys enjoy your moment alone ?
“ 1
Stanley stood up . “ You two keep talking . I’ll be right back . ” With that , he turned and walked out .
“ Jessica , you and Mr. Hawk are inseparable now , and Wendy’s all alone . ”
Jessica leaned back against the headboard , a contented smile on her face . She felt like everything had been worth it , especially her suicide attempt . “ Wendy never knew her place . A country bumpkin with no education , no job … How could she think she had any right to fight me for Stanley ? I just put her back in her place . ”
“ Keep it up , Jessica . Get Mr. Hawk to marry you next . Grandma even wants us to have our wedding at the same time . ”
Making Stanley and Wendy divorce was just the first step . Now , Jessica was going to make sure Stanley married
her .
Even without Trish’s reminder , Jessica knew exactly what to do .
“ Why didn’t Dr. Ceylan come today ? ” Jessica asked .
Upon the mention of Dr. Ceylan , Trish blushed . “ He had a big surgery today and couldn’t make it , but I’ve got good news . Remember a while back , when our two families each invested 150 million dollars , and Grandma even mortgaged the family estate ? That money has already doubled ! Our family’s wealth has doubled ! ”
Jessica’s eyes lit up . “ Really ? ”
Really ! Do you still not trust Dr. Ceylan ? ”
“ Yes , of course , I trust him ! Dr. Ceylan would never lie to us ! ”

Jessica felt clated . Now , the entire Crone family’s fortune had doubled . Without Wendy , the family’s fortune had taken a turn for the better .
“ How are things going with you and Dr. Ceylan ? ” Jessica asked again .
Trish immediately held out her hand , showing off a diamond ring on her fourth finger . The enormous diamond sparkled brilliantly , dazzling in the light .
Trish smiled sweetly . “ He proposed to me , and I said yes . ”
Wow .
Looking at the huge diamond , Jessica felt a flutter in her heart , but she wasn’t envious . She knew Stanley would give her an even bigger one .
Whenever Stanley made a move , it would make others jealous of her .
“ Jessica , we’re all just waiting for the good news about you and Mr. Hawk . Once it happens , we’ll have a joint wedding . It’ll definitely cause a stir in all of Hovendale ! ”
Jessica nodded confidently . “ Don’t worry . That day is coming soon . ”
Stanley stood tall in the corridor , his long legs and imposing figure unmistakable .
Right then , Zayn approached with a stack of papers . “ Mr. Hawk , these are the documents that need your signature today . ”
Stanley glanced out the window , not turning to look at Zayn “ Leave them in the hospital room . ”
Zayn hesitated before speaking up . “ Mr. Hawk , Mrs. Hawk … I mean , Ms. Wendy- ”
