Jessica looked up , and a handsome , imposing face filled her vision – Stanley had arrived!
She froze . Why was Stanley here ?
“ S – Stanley , what are you doing here ? ” she stammered .
Stanley glanced at her coldly but didn’t say a word .
Wendy smiled faintly . “ Jessica , I called Mr. Hawk and told him to come . ”
What ?
Jessica was stunned . She hadn’t expected Wendy to have called Stanley in advance .
Wendy walked up to Jessica , her bright , clear eyes sparkling with a mixture of amusement and judgment .

She smirked slightly , saying , “ You and Sienna put on such a show today . Of course , I had to invite him to come and see it .
“ You knew Gilbert was Halsey’s fiancé , yet you encouraged Sienna to seduce him and break Halsey’s heart . Not only that , but today , Gilbert publicly confessed his love for Sienna . You both twisted the truth , misleading everyone into thinking Halsey didn’t deserve Gilbert , calling her an ‘ uggo ‘ .

“ Jessica , your intentions were vile , and the way you’ve acted is unforgivable . It would have been a shame not to let -Mr . Hawk witness your true colors . ”
Wendy’s words hit like a barrage , sharp and cutting , leaving Jessica pale and speechless .
Jessica hadn’t anticipated Wendy had this up her sleeve .
It was clear that Stanley had been present all along , and he had seen everything unfold . Halsey was his beloved cousin , the darling of the Lincoln family .
In a panic , Jessica turned to Stanley . “ It’s not like that , Stanley ! Please , let me explain . ”
Stanley’s gaze was as cold as a frozen lake . Without a word , he released her wrist and shoved her hand away .
Jessica took a step back , panic rising inside her .
At that moment , Wendy’s clear eyes locked onto Stanley’s handsome face . “ Mr. Hawk . ”
Stanley turned to face her .
Wendy met his gaze steadily , her voice firm and deliberate . Please keep your woman in check . If she ever crosses my path again , I won’t hesitate to teach her a lesson myself ”
With that , Wendy turned on her heel and walked away .
As she passed him , she purposefully bumped her shoulder against his – a deliberate , provocative gesture . Stanley stood tall , watching her retreat . He was amused by her boldness , though irritated by her defiance . As soon as Wendy was out of sight , Jessica rushed to grab Stanley’s sleeve . “ Stanley , please , listen to me- ”
“ What else is there to explain ? I saw everything myself ! ” Stanley’s voice was cold , his disappointment clear . “ You knew Halsey was Bebe , yet you and Sienna still did all this . Is this how you wanted to work toward our marriage ? Was this how you planned to become friends with Bebe ? ”

For the past few days , Stanley had been by Jessica’s side . He had plans to marry her , and he even genuinely hoped Bebe and Jessica could become friends .
But Jessica’s actions had crushed his faith in her .
His harsh words made Jessica panic . “ I wanted to be friends with Bebe , but you saw what happened ! She kicked me out of the Lincolns ‘ residence . She doesn’t like me at all . She only acknowledges Wendy as her cousin – in – law . ”
“ So this is your justification for hurting others ? ” Stanley’s voice was icy as he shot back .
Jessica faltered , speechless . “ I … ”
Stanley’s lips twisted into a mocking smile . “ Jessica , you’ve changed so much . I almost don’t recognize you anymore . ”
With that , Stanley turned and walked away .
Jessica stood frozen , her heart sinking . She hadn’t changed . This was who she had always been .
He had always thought of her as the girl from that cave . He had always thought she was Wendy .
