In an instant , the three women were unceremoniously thrown out of Royale Residences . The heavy doors slammed shut behind them with a loud bang .

Jessica was speechless , and Trish was equally stunned . Meanwhile , Lilian just stood there ,
bewildered .
They had never been treated like this before . Especially not Jessica – she was always the VIP
whenever she was with Stanley , always treated with respect .
But now ,
here she was , unceremoniously kicked out . This was definitely a first for her .
Trish , burning with anger , snapped . “ This is all Wendy’s fault ! What’s going on , Jessica ? Wendy’s driving luxury cars and living in mansions , and now she’s thrown us out ? Has she
lost her mind ? ”
Jessica clenched her fists . “ What other explanation could there be ? She only has all this because Stanley doesn’t want her anymore . He gave her a huge divorce settlement . That’s
all ! ”
Lilian looked bitterly at the apartments inside . “ Don’t be so upset . No matter how much Stanley gave her , it’s still a limited amount . She’s just a housewife with no job . Let’s see how long she can keep this up when the money runs out ! ”
Hearing that , Jessica and Trish grudgingly calmed down .
Trish then spoke up . “ Jessica , you need to find out how much Mr. Hawk gave Wendy in the

divorce . ”

Jessica was sure it was a hefty amount – at least 20 or 30 million , given Stanley’s fortune .
He could afford to throw that kind of money around without a second thought .
She hadn’t been curious before , but now , she was .
“ I’ll figure it out , ” she said , her mind racing .
Just then , Trish’s phone rang , the melody cheerful and lively .
Trish’s face lit up with a smile – it was her boyfriend , Dr. Ceylan , calling . She eagerly
answered the call , and after a moment , she jumped in excitement . 3
“ Oh , my ! That’s great news ! ”
Jessica raised an eyebrow . “ Dr. Ceylan has great news ? What is it ? ”
Trish , practically glowing with joy , replied , “ The money we invested with him has multiplied tenfold ! Our fortune is growing . We’ve really struck it rich ! ”
“ Seriously ? ” Jessica and Lilian both jumped , thrilled .
Edith and the second and third branches of the family had all invested heavily in Dr.
Ceylan’s venture . They had mortgaged their family estate and company shares , betting
everything on it .
Now , to hear that their assets had grown tenfold was a fortune beyond imagining .
Jessica’s mood lifted immediately . “ We’ve got money now ! Wendy’s just living off Stanley’s divorce settlement , while we’re on our way to wealth ! ”
Lilian offered an idea . “ Your grandma’s been in a bad mood lately . How about we take her out shopping tomorrow ? A little fun for the whole family . ”
“ Good idea ! ” Jessica agreed .

Wendy hadn’t expected the house Samuel prepared for her to be at Royale Residences and to be directly across from Stanley’s apartment . It was a bizarre coincidence .
But Royale Residences was truly a lavish place , fitting for someone of her stature . The luxurious apartment was perfect for settling down .
After taking a relaxing milk and rose petal bath , Wendy heard a chime from her phone . It was a message from Samuel .
[ I’ll take you shopping tomorrow . ]
Wendy smiled and texted back . [ Sounds good . ]
After finishing her bath , Wendy got up , tidied up her apartment , and grabbed the trash bag
to head downstairs .
As she stepped out , she saw a tall , handsome figure coming out of the apartment across from hers . It was Stanley .
It seemed like their paths had crossed as neighbors .
Wendy felt that their relationship hadn’t reached the point where they should be greeting each other . It would be better if they pretended to be strangers whenever they bumped into one another .
