Stanley said Jessica was just reaping what she sowed , but she didn’t think that was true .
Stanley didn’t want to spare Jessica another glance . He extended his long legs and walked away from her .
He was leaving .
But Jessica couldn’t let him leave . She collapsed to the ground and started screaming .
“ Stanley , don’t go ! Why are you doing this to me ? Ever since you married Wendy , I’ve seen you change . You’ve fallen for her a long time ago , haven’t you ? Now that you know Wendy was the girl from back then , you can’t wait to throw me aside . You can’t do this to me ! ”
No matter how much Jessica shouted , Stanley didn’t turn back . She could no longer earn even a second of his attention .
Zayn looked down at Jessica , who was still lying on the floor . “ Ms. Jessica , Mr. Hawk is right . You’re reaping what you sowed . ”
Jessica looked up at Zayn . She knew that Zayn had long sided with Wendy . He had always liked Wendy .
Gripping her fist in frustration , she spat , “ Why ? Why does everyone love Wendy ? What is it about her that makes me so inferior ? ”
Zayn replied coldly , “ I don’t think you should ask what you lack compared to her . The truth is , you don’t have a single thing that compares to her . ”
Jessica dug her nails into her palm , her pride stinging from the sharp insult .
Zayn turned and left .
Everyone was gone now . Jessica was left alone in the dark room . Her face was still burning from the slap , blood staining her lips . Her body ached from the blows of the bodyguards , and she felt as if her whole body was falling apart .
She curled up in a corner . Stanley , who had once cherished her like no other , had now kicked her to the curb , and she couldn’t accept it .
Jessica was terrified now . She had no idea what her parents or Edith were doing , but she was confident they would come for her . They would save her !
The three – day deadline was quickly approaching . This was the second three – day period for the Crone family , and today , they would have to confess their crimes at Jerry’s grave .

Samuel , Halsey , and Cecelia had arrived early at Wendy’s apartment . “ Wendy , are you ready ? We can head to the cemetery now . ”
Wendy nodded . “ I’m ready . Let’s go . ”
Halsey opened the apartment door and immediately spotted a tall , handsome figure outside . Stanley had been waiting for them .
Stanley had been there for a while , waiting by the door .
“ Mr. Hawk , what brings you here ? ” Samuel greeted him .

Stanley’s gaze landed on Wendy’s delicate face . “ I’m going to the cemetery too . I’ll drive you
there . ”
Samuel raised an eyebrow . “ That’s not necessary . I have a car . Wendy can ride with me .
Stanley’s eyes didn’t shift from Wendy , his stance unwavering . “ Wendy , Jessica is in my hands , and I have some business to settle with the Crone family . You’ll ride with me . ”
Wendy thought for a moment before saying , “ Samuel , I’ll ride with Mr. Hawk . ”
Samuel shrugged , a small smile forming as he looked at Stanley . “ Alright , Mr. Hawk . You win . ”
Halsey nodded . “ Then I’ll ride with Wendy in Mr. Hawk’s car . ”
Cecelia agreed . “ Okay , I’ll take Mr. Samuel’s car . Let’s not waste any more time – let’s get to the cemetery . ”
Wendy nodded . “ Let’s go . ‘
The two luxury cars headed toward the cemetery . Stanley sat behind the wheel , his large hand gripping the steering wheel as Wendy and Halsey sat in the back .
“ Mr. Hawk , how’s Jessica doing these days ? ” Halsey asked .
Stanley’s lips curled into a thin , cold smile , his voice distant . “She’s been locked in a dark room . By now , she’s probably falling apart . ”
