Chapter 551
“ Mrs. Angela , please don’t blame Stanley . It’s all that Wendy’s fault – she knows exactly how to seduce men . Now , Stanley doesn’t even want to marry me because of her , ” Jessica went on .
Angela turned to Horace . “ I’m really sorry about this . ”
Horace raised an eyebrow . “ Our families have a marriage engagement . But if Stanley doesn’t want to marry Jessica , we wouldn’t force him . Still , Jessica loves Stanley with all her heart . As a father , I only want my daughter to be happy and find joy in her life . ”
Horace surveyed Jessica with affection . As a father , he would do anything for her , even if it meant reaching for the
stars .
Angela nodded . “ understand . Don’t worry , the engagement won’t be broken . I’ll go and meet Wendy . ”
Wendy had just returned to her apartment at Royale Residences . She had already planned to leave for Florias , so she was in the process of wrapping up her affairs .
Just then , she heard the doorbell ring .
Who could it be ?
Wendy walked over to the door and opened it . Standing outside were a group of bodyguards dressed in black and Angela’s personal maid , Barbara .
Barbara looked at Wendy . “ Are you Ms. Wendy Crone ? ”
Wendy nodded . “ Yes , I am . Who are you ? ”
“ Ms. Wendy , hello , ” Barbara replied . “ Mrs. Angela is in Hovendale today , and she’d like to meet with you . ”
Wendy glanced at the bodyguards behind Barbara . “ I’m guessing she didn’t leave me much choice , did she ? ”
Barbara smiled . “ Seems like you’re a clever one . I heard you’re pregnant . Please , just come with me . ”
Wendy wasn’t exactly surprised . She had known this meeting would happen , and so nodded . “ Alright , I’ll go meet her . ”
At that moment , Halsey walked in . “ Where are you going ? Who are these people ? ”
“ It’s okay , ” Wendy reassured Halsey . “ Stanley’s mother wants to see me . I’ll be back soon . ”
“ This way , please , ” Barbara interjected .
With that , Wendy followed Barbara out of the apartment .
“ Wendy ! ” Halsey tried to stop her but failed . She immediately pulled out her phone and dialed Stanley .
Stanley , sitting in his office at Hawk Group , was reviewing some documents . The moment he saw Halsey’s name
on the screen of his phone , he answered immediately .
“ Stanley , something’s wrong ! Wendy’s in trouble ! ” Halsey cried .
Stanley paused , his pen frozen in midair . “ What happened ?
“ She’s been taken ! ”

“ Who took her ? ”
“ You should be asking your mother ! She took Wendy ! ”
Stanley furrowed his brows deeply . His mother had taken Wendy .
“Got it . I’ll go get her back right now . ” Hanging up , he turned to Zayn . “ Find out where my mother and Wendy are right now ! ”
Zayn nodded . “ Got it , sir . I’ll handle it immediately . ”
Wendy was brought to a hotel room . Barbara opened the door , and when Wendy walked in , she saw Angela sitting in a wheelchair .
Angela looked up at Wendy , sizing Wendy up with a superior and dismissive gaze , her expression filled with disdain and displeasure . “ So , you must be Wendy . ”
