Harry reached out and switched off the TV with a quick motion .
At that moment , Lilian walked over , her gaze filled with concern . “ Harry , is Jessica asleep ? ”
Lilian’s voice softened , laced with sympathy .
“ She cried herself to sleep just now . Honey , Jessica has only one wish – she wants to marry Mr. Hawk . Can’t you make that happen for her ? ”
Harry’s expression darkened , his voice cold . “ What do you mean ? ”
“ Honey , ” Lilian pressed , “ I know everything . Jessica isn’t even your biological daughter ! ”
Harry bit his lip , remaining silent .
“ Jessica has a prestigious background . If you would just reveal who she really is , all the
obstacles would disappear . She could marry Mr. Hawk , ” Lilian continued , her voice growing more insistent .
Harry stood up , his voice commanding . “ I don’t want to hear this again ! You’d better keep it to yourself . ”
With a final warning , Harry headed upstairs .
Lilian , frustrated , couldn’t let it go . “ Why won’t you acknowledge Jessica’s real background , Harry ? ”
Harry stood at the top of the stairs , his demeanor calm , almost too serene , but his words carried a weight of emotion . After a long pause , he said , “ Jessica’s mother doesn’t want her to return to the Capital . ”
It was that woman again !
Lilian’s eyes flashed with a malicious glint . No wonder Wendy , even after being sent to the

countryside , still emerged a genius . She had come from a truly exceptional line .
But what did it matter ?
All the glory and attention would eventually be bestowed upon Jessica .

Though Harry had firmly rejected Lilian’s suggestion , she knew deep down that he was torn . He did care about Jessica .
Soon , Jessica’s true background would be revealed .
Lilian’s lips curled into a sly , knowing smile .
The next day , Stanley was in his office when he received a call from Cyril , who had just
returned from his business trip .
“ Stanley , are you free today ? Come have lunch with us , ” Cyril invited .
Cyril wanted Stanley to come over to the Lincoln family’s residence for a meal .
Stanley had barely gotten any sleep after staying in the office all night . He rubbed his temples , groaning . “ Uncle Cyril , I don’t have time today . ”
“ That’s too bad . I’ve already invited Bebe and Wendy to join us . ”
Wendy was going to the Lincolns ‘ for dinner , too ?
Stanley changed his mind immediately . “ I’ll be there soon .
Thirty minutes later , Stanley arrived at the Lincoln family’s estate . Wendy and Halsey hadn’t arrived yet .
Cyril adjusted his glasses with a playful smirk . “ Stanley , didn’t you just say you didn’t have time ? Now , here you are . ”
Stanley glanced around the room as though searching for someone .

“ Don’t bother looking , ” Cyril said with a chuckle . “ Wendy and Bebe are still on their way . ”
Stanley sat down on the couch in the living room , his gaze steady .
“ I’ve heard the news , ” Cyril continued , amused . “ Now , everyone at Clavendale University knows that Wendy , the ‘ God of Sleep , ‘ is actually a genius . No wonder when she fell asleep in my class , she could still point out my mistake the moment she opened her eyes . Stanley , your wife is quite the hidden gem . ”
Cyril still didn’t know that Stanley and Wendy were divorced .
Stanley remained silent .
Cyril switched to a different topic . “ By the way , Bebe’s birthmark suddenly disappeared . She said Wendy gave her a really bitter candy . ”
Stanley’s brows furrowed slightly , his expression thoughtful . “ I’m not entirely sure about that . I asked Wendy , and she said … ”
“ What did she say ? ”
She had said she wouldn’t tell him !
At that moment , Isabel’s cheerful voice rang out . “ Ms. Lincoln , you’re back ! ”
When Stanley heard that , he figured Wendy and Halsey had arrived .
He looked up , his gaze shifting toward the door .
