Chapter 60\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Wendy missed. The person quickly spun around, grabbing her slender wrist with a firm grip. A cold, annoyed voice followed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWendy, what are you doing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The silver needle dropped to the floor with a soft clink. Wendy froze for a second, realizing it was Stanley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley had arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWh\u2013what are you doing here?\u201d she stammered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley released her wrist and scanned the room, his dark, penetrating eyes sweeping over the space before landing on Hank. \u201cWho\u2019s he?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley had seen Hank sneaking around downstairs, tailing Wendy, and decided to follow him\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy opened her mouth to respond, but just then, footsteps echoed from outside. Her surprise for Lilian had arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Quickly, she pulled Stanley behind the curtains with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley was about to speak, but Wendy quickly pressed her hand over his mouth as the door flung open and someone walked in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t say a word,\u201d she whispered urgently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the banquet hall, Jessica, Harry, Lilian, and Edith were chatting and laughing with a few executives. Archer and Natalie, feeling left out, exchanged envious glances at them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie couldn\u2019t help but mutter resentfully, \u201cTrish is so much more capable than Jessica, but Jessica knows how to play the game of love. Now that she\u2019s got Mr. Hawk, the second branch is practically floating on air.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Archer leaned in, determined. \u201cDon\u2019t worry! Trish will find someone just as good as Mr. Hawk.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They both had high hopes for Trish\u2019s marriage and were determined that she wouldn\u2019t lose to the second branch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, a sharp scream rang out, startling everyone in the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chopter 00\u00a0<\/p>\n
The guests exchanged worried glances. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian smiled slyly. She knew the drama was just beginning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica, linking her arm with Lilian\u2019s, grinned. \u201cMom, is this all part of your plan?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian chuckled softly. \u201cMr. Hawk and Wendy are about to divorce. Soon, you\u2019ll be Mrs. Hawk.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica pouted, her voice dripping with affection. \u201cMom, you\u2019re the best.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian turned to Harry. \u201cHoney, you\u2019re staying home with me tonight.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harry pulled her closer, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. \u201cAs long as you handle everything perfectly, I\u2019ll do whatever you want.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian exhaled in relief, then turned to the others. \u201cWhat\u2019s that noise? It sounds like it\u2019s coming from that room. Let\u2019s go check it out!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The group quickly followed her, eager to see what was happening. Archer and Natalie were among them, all hurrying toward the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Outside the door stood a maid. Lilian asked, \u201cWho\u2019s inside?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The maid, one of Lilian\u2019s accomplices, pretended to be flustered. \u201cMrs. Lilian, I just saw Wendy go in there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWendy?\u201d someone gasped. \u201cIsn\u2019t she that country bumpkin? Is she in there having an affair?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The whispers grew louder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Edith slammed her cane on the floor, her face darkening as she spat, \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be surprised by that uneducated brat, ruining my birthday celebration with this nonsense!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian exchanged a sly glance with Jessica, both secretly thrilled. If Wendy were caught in such a scandal in front of the prominent families of Hovendale, her reputation would be\u00a0<\/p>\n
shattered forever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With a feigned air of concern, Lilian said, \u201cI can\u2019t believe Wendy would do something like that. I have to see it with my own eyes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian pushed open the door, revealing a scene that made her smile with satisfaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the large bed, two figures were tangled together. Hank pinned a woman beneath him, violently tearing at her clothes\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
