All eyes turned to Jessica .
“ It’s obvious that Mrs. Crone and Ms. Jessica teamed up to try to kill Ms. Wendy ! ”
“ Luckily , Ms. Wendy is the wonder doctor Dr. Ceylan . If it weren’t for that , she might have died a dozen times over at their hands . ”
“ Honestly , Jessica is shameless . She stole someone else’s mother , family , and place of belonging … What more does she want ? Why would she still want to harmi Dr. Ceylan ? ”
“ Some people are just born bad seeds . ”
Hearing people calling her a bad seed , Jessica felt a knot form in her stomach . She realized that tonight , Wendy had expertly trapped her in a web of lies and manipulation
Stanley’s disappointed gaze was fixed on Jessica , and the weight of his stare hit her like a ton of bricks . “ Why did you do this ? You’ve truly let me down . ”
Stanley could barely recognize the person Jessica had become . Was this the same girl who had once cared for him in the cave ?
Jessica wanted to explain herself . “ I— ”
But Wendy stepped forward , cutting her off . “ Now you understand why I refused to treat you , don’t you ? I’m no saint . Why should I treat someone who wants my life ? ”
Jessica stood speechless .
Wendy turned her attention to Stanley . “ Mr. Hawk , now that you know Jessica wanted to kill me , do you still want me to save her ? ”
Jessica was desperate for her life . She couldn’t afford to let this opportunity slip away . She reached for Stanley , pleading , “ Stanley , save me ! ”
Stanley’s lips pressed into a thin , tight line , his expression cold .
Wendy raised an eyebrow , her voice dripping with sarcasm Jessica , if you want me to save you , then beg for it . I want you to grovel before me ! ”
Trish had bowed earlier , and now Wendy was demanding that Jessica grovel .
This would be even more entertaining .
Lilian’s face turned pale with fury . “ You actually want Jessica to grovel ? You- ”
“ Wow , you must really love Jessica , ” Wendy mocked with asly grin .
Lillan stood there , speechless .
Wendy’s gaze fixed firmly on Jessica “ This is your chance . It’s now or never . Will you grovel and beg me , or not ? ”
Jessica would never grovel . She thought Wendy was mere trash . Why should she grovel before her ?
Desperation flared inside Jessica as she turned to Stanley for help . “ I don’t want to grovel before Wendy ! She’s gone too far . Please , help me ! ”
Stanley had become her last hope ..

Lilian and Edith rushed to Stanley’s side , urging him to intervene . “ Mr. Hawk , Jessica is your girlfriend . Are you really going to let her grovel before Wendy in front of everyone here in Hovendale ? That would damage your reputation , tool ”
Stanley remained silent , his face an unreadable mask of composure . He gave nothing away .
Jessica was in a panic . She couldn’t figure out what Stanley was thinking , and the pressure of the situation was suffocating .
She couldn’t grovel . She couldn’t !
“ Stanley , ” she pleaded , clutching at him desperately . “ Did you forget your promise ? You said you would protect me . You said you would never abandon me . You haven’t forgotten , have you ? ”
Stanley’s gaze softened , but there was no sign of emotion . I’ve let you get away with so much , and this is how you’ve become . I don’t know what you’ll do next if I keep enabling you , I can’t let you lose yourself . ”
Jessica’s eyes widened in shock , her voice shaking . “ Stanley , are you saying … ”
Stanley turned his gaze to Wendy , his voice calm and cold . Since Dr. Ceylan wants you to grovel , then you should grovel , ”
