Chapter 97\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy\u2019s eyes gleamed in the dim light from under the blanket, and she suddenly burst into laughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley, his voice hoarse, asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s so funny?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy looked at him, a teasing smile playing on her lips. \u201cShould I say I\u2019m tired, or not tired?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The playful, teasing tension hung between them, sparking desire.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley chuckled, his lips curling into a grin as he leaned down to kiss her again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next day, at the Crone family estate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the bedroom, Lilian lay contentedly in Harry\u2019s arms, holding onto his neck as she playfully scolded, \u201cYou were rough earlier. You really hurt me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harry smirked, his thumb gently tracing her jawline. \u201cAre you satisfied now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop it\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica had called Harry, and he rushed home, ensuring that Lilian, who had been feeling lonely for so long, was now thoroughly satisfied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he held Lilian, he asked, \u201cDid George really take Wendy away?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d Lilian replied with a smile. \u201cThat annoying obstacle is finally gone. Soon, Jessica will be Mrs. Hawk, and you\u2019ll be the father\u2013in\u2013law of Hovendale\u2019s wealthiest man.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harry laughed heartily, clearly thrilled. \u201cHoney, you\u2019ve done great this time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian felt a sense of satisfaction. The night was over, and now Wendy was surely George\u2019s plaything. No one would ever disturb her happiness again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Looking at Harry\u2019s joyful expression, Lilian couldn\u2019t help but smirk inwardly. He would never know who Wendy\u2019s real father was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian and Harry left the room and saw Jessica sitting on the couch in the living room, fidgeting with her phone, a look of worry on her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJessica, what\u2019s wrong?\u201d Harry asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, I can\u2019t reach Stanley. He hasn\u2019t answered my calls since last night. He\u2019s never done this before.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica\u2019s intuition, sharp as ever, sensed something was off\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian waved it off. \u201cJessica, Mr. Hawk is very busy. You need to be understanding. You can\u2019t hold onto him too tightly. George has taken Wendy away, so why are you still worrying?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as Lilian mentioned it, Jessica\u2019s mood shifted, and she smiled brightly. She link playfully saying \u201cWendy\u2019s finally gone! You\u2019re the best, Mom.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
r arm with Lilian\u2019s,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Looking over at Harry, Jessica continued, \u201cDad, hurry up and fire that secretary. From now on, you can only be good to Mom.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harry sat beside Jessica, his eyes filled with affection as he gazed at her smile. \u201cOkay. Whatever you say, dear.\u201d Jessica\u2019s lips curled into a satisfied smile, looking every bit the spoiled little princess.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At that moment, the housekeeper hurried over. \u201cMrs. Crone, someone is here to see you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian looked up, intrigued. \u201cWho?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Crone, help!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was George\u2019s voice. He burst in, his body wracked with pain, his face pale from the injuries he had sustained. He staggered into the living room and collapsed onto the carpet in a heap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian, Jessica, and Harry jumped to their feet in shock, staring at George in disbelief. How did he end up here?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGeorge, didn\u2019t you leave with Wendy last night? Why are you back?\u201d Lilian asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harry demanded, \u201cWhat happened?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
George gasped, barely able to catch his breath. \u201cMr. and Mrs. Crone, I did take Wendy, but Mr. Hawk sealed off all the exits in Hovendale. He came and took Wendy from me!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
What?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica was stunned. \u201cYou\u2019re telling me Stanley saved Wendy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had planned everything so carefully, and everything had been going according to plan. But Stanley had thrown a wrench into it all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley had rescued Wendy!\u00a0<\/p>\n
The excitement they had felt earlier vanished instantly. Jessica suddenly realized that Stanley hadn\u2019t been answering her calls last night\u2013was it because he was with Wendy the entire time?\u00a0<\/p>\n
