NovelEnglishChapter 539 Stanley told Wendy that her passing out had scared him.
Before meeting Wendy, the word "scared" had never existed in Stanley's vocabulary.
After meeting her, everything had changed. When he saw Wendy collapse in front of Jerry's grave, he felt as if he couldn't breathe.
Wendy looked weak, still in the early stages of her pregnancy. With everything she had been through, her emotions were all over the place.
"I'm fine. I'm a doctor, I know my body well. I'm okay," she said, pulling her small hand out of his grasp.

11 Wendy looked at him, her voice cold. "No need. Please leave. First of all, we're already divorced, and there's no connection between us anymore. Secondly, you're engaged to Jessica. I know how complicated the business world can be, especially in wealthy families. You should fulfill your engagement." "No, I won't marry Jessica..." Stanley said, his voice firm.
"Whether you marry Jessica or not doesn't concern me," Wendy replied, her tone detached.
Stanley's eyes were filled with complex emotions.
At that moment, the door opened, and Halsey and Cecelia entered.
"Wendy, you're awake!" Seeing the others had arrived, Stanley had no choice but to let Wendy go.
Halsey helped Wendy sit up while Cecelia brought over a bowl of chicken soup. "Your body needs nourishment. You should drink this while it's hot." Cecelia began to feed Wendy the soup.
Samuel walked in as well, his gaze fixed on Wendy. "What do you plan to do about the Crone family?" Wendy remained silent.
Samuel continued, "Horace is the world's richest man. He's a legend, the creator of an empire. Now that he's reconnected with Jessica, you can't touch her." 1/2 Chapter 539 +25 BONOS Stanley looked at Wendy with concern. "You're pregnant now, so you can't act rashly. Horace is a very powerful man, and he has many tricks up his sleeve. After being separated from Jessica for so many years, he will surely want to make up for all the lost fatherly love." Hearing all that, Halsey, frustration in her voice, asked, "So, are we just supposed to watch as Jessica becomes an heiress overnight and live a life of luxury?" Cecelia added, "I can't believe she's the daughter of the richest man! How did she get to be so lucky?" Wendy ate the soup in silence. Her hatred simmered inside her. She was so close, just one step away from avenging her father.
"I want to sleep for a while," she said softly.
"Alright, we won't keep you," Halsey said gently.
Wendy lay down, closing her eyes as sleep overtook her.

Halsey looked at Stanley. "Mr. Hawk, I didn't expect you to still have ties to Jessica You two were engaged as children, right? Does that mean she's technically your fiancée?" Stanley gave Halsey a quick glance. "You all stay with Wendy. I'll be leaving now." Stanley left.
Back in his apartment, Stanley was greeted by Zayn, who quietly reported, "Mr. Hawk, your family called."
Stanley already knew. His phone had rung earlier while he was with Wendy, and it had been a call from his family in the Capital. However, he had ignored it.
Then his phone rang again, the familiar melodic ringtone signaling another call it was from the Hawk family again. This time, it was his mother.
Stanley pressed the button to answer. "Hello, Mom." Angela Hawk's voice cthrough the line. "I heard Horace went to Hovendale. Did you meet him?" 2/2 Chapter 540 Chapter 540
