Jessica felt like she had been publicly slapped in the face by none other than Horace and Brittany .
Now , countless eyes were on her , whispering and pointing fingers . Some watched with amusement , others with disdain , and a few even with pity . It was a messy mix of emotions .
She had once stood at the pinnacle , shining with the glow of being the Larson family’s heiress . But now , she had fallen straight from that peak .
That halo shattered .
How did it come to this ?
Her heart burned with bitter resentment .
Just then , someone shouted , “ Look ! Mr. Hawk is here ! ”
Stanley had arrived .
Jessica lifted her head to see the crowd parting , clearing a path for him . Stanley’s tall , commanding figure slowly came into view .
Tonight , Stanley was dressed in a custom – tailored black suit , sharp and striking . He strode forward with steady , confident steps , exuding a powerful , almost royal presence .
Jessica gazed at him , completely captivated . He was the man she loved , the one she truly adored .
Ida whispered , “ Don’t worry . We haven’t lost yet . Stanley is our secret weapon ! If you can’t be the Larson family’s heiress , you
can still be Mrs. Hawk . ”
Jessica smiled , suddenly hopeful . Of course ! She could still marry into the Hawk family and become a lady of status .
Stanley approached , and Horace and Brittany greeted him . “ Stanley , you made it . ”
Stanley nodded , then his eyes landed on Wendy . A flash of surprise crossed his gaze . Wendy looked stunning tonight , absolutely
mesmerizing .
Halsey teased , “ Jeez , your eyes are practically glued to her ! ”
Under Stanley’s intense gaze , Wendy curved her lips into a small , knowing smile .
“ Mr. Hawk , you came just in time ! ” Ida interjected . “ The Hawk and Larson families have a long – standing engagement , and Jessica is your fiancée . Have you given any more thought to marrying her ? ”
Halsey scoffed , “ Forget it . Stanley would never marry Jessica ! ”
“ Well , that’s not your call ! ” Jessica snapped back .
Ida turned to Stanley . “ Have you made your decision ? ”
Stanley remained silent .
Ida pursed her lips and quietly muttered an incantation .
A sharp hiss escaped into the air .
Suddenly , Stanley’s head throbbed with unbearable pain . His face turned deathly pale .
“ Stanley ! ” Horace stepped forward and steadied him .
Wendy wanted to move closer to help , but she held herself back . She couldn’t .
Jessica looked at Stanley with a cold smile . “ Why put yourself through this ? That pounding headache must be terrible . Just agree
to the marriage , and you’ll be free . Wendy’s the source of your pain You need to stay away from her ! ”
