Chapter 509
Halsey was thrilled . She knew Wendy had a way of dealing with Jessica , the Impostor .
Just thinking about how Jessica had been pretending to be Wendy and throwing her weight around infuriated Halsey . The day Wendy exposed Jessica for who she really was would be nothing short of spectacular .
But …
Halsey looked at Wendy , a serious expression crossing her face . “ What about Mr. Hawk ? What are you planning to do with him ? ”
Stanley still had no idea that the girl who had saved him all those years ago was actually Wendy . How would he react when he found out ? What would Wendy do when that day came ?
Wendy’s voice was soft as she answered , “ I’m been exhausting . ”
She wanted to leave
Loving Stanley all these years h
She had never really belonged here , but because Stanley was here , she had stayed . Now , she was ready to go .
“ But for all these years , he’s been completely deceived by Jessica . He’s been blind to the truth , but he’s also a victim . He doesn’t know it’s you , ” Halsey said , trying to defend Stanley . She still hoped Wendy and Stanley could work things out .
Wendy , however , wasn’t interested in continuing this conversation . “ Let’s not talk about this anymore . ”
Halsey sighed and gave in . “ Alright . You should get some rest . Go lie down . ”
Wendy lay down on the bed , closing her eyes .
Back in Jessica’s hospital room , Stanley had returned .
Jessica immediately asked , “ What did Wendy say to you ? ”
Stanley didn’t respond .
“ Did she badmouth me again ? Did she try to seduce you ? She’s no good . You need to stay far away from her ! ” Jessica said , her voice quick and defensive .
Lilian chimed in , “ Yes , Wendy’s so vindictive and manipulative . She knows how to play people . Don’t let her sweet appearance fool you . ‘
Stanley lazily lifted his eyes , his cold gaze sweeping over both of them , and said , “ Wendy has agreed to perform the heart surgery . ”
What ?
Both Jessica and Lilian jumped , their faces lighting up with excitement . “ Really ? She agreed to do the surgery ? ”
Stanley nodded . “ Yes . ”
Lilian’s face brightened . “ That’s wonderful ! You’re going to be saved , Jessica ! Wendy finally agreed to help . ”
Jessica smiled , relieved . “ I’m going to be healthy again ! I’ll finally be rid of this heart disease . ”
Stanley glanced at both of them . “ A moment ago , you two were badmouthing her . ”

Jessica froze , remembering how she and Lillan had criticized Wendy just minutes before . She gave a nervous laugh , trying to explain , “ Stanley —
Stanley cut her off , uninterested . “ Rest up . I’m leaving for now . ”
Without waiting for a response , Stanley turned and walked away .
“ Don’t go ! ” Jessica called after him , desperation in her voice . “ You promised you’d stay with me . Stanley ? Stanley !
But this time , her pleas were in vain . Stanley’s figure quickly disappeared from sight .
Stanley was gone .
Jessica’s face fell in disappointment . “ Mom , what’s wrong with Stanley ? Why is he being so cold to me ? ”
Lilian , on the other hand , was full of excitement . “ Mr. Hawk loves you . Don’t doubt that . It’s thanks to him putting pressure on Wendy that she finally agreed to the surgery . ”
Jessica’s mood shifted , her joy returning . “Yes , he loves me . My heart disease will be gone , and then I won’t have to be controlled by anyone anymore ! ”
Lilian grinned , her eyes sparkling .
“ Exactly ! He promised you that once you’re healthy , he’d marry you . And then , you’ll have children and live the life of Mrs. Hawk – luxury and wealth beyond imagination !
