The Heartbreak prescription novel

Chapter 74 Chapter 74 George chuckled awkwardly. "Mr. Hawk, hello. I never expected Wendy to marry so well. Seeing you two together, so perfectly matched, I can rest easy now. I'll be on my way and I won't disturb you any longer." Glinda quickly tried to convince him to stay. "Stay for dinner, George. You've come all this way, and I've already asked the staff to prepare the meal. It'll be a nice family gathering tonight." Stanley looked at George, his voice calm and measured.

"Stay for dinner." Both Stanley and Glinda invited him to stay. George smiled, "Well, since you insist, I'd be happy to oblige-" But Wendy's cold voice cut through, stopping him. "He won't stay for dinner." George froze, his gaze snapping to Wendy.' Wendy met his stare, her voice unwavering. "You just got out of prison. Don't come back to the Hawk family estate again." The moment her words hit the air, the atmosphere shifted tense and uncomfortable.

Glinda paused, her eyes wide in surprise as she looked at George. "Wait, you've been to prison?" Wendy's expression remained unreadable. "Yes. He spent ten years in prison." Glinda's surprise deepened. "What did you do, George?" George turned his gaze to Wendy, a wry smile tugging at his lips. "Mrs. Glinda, if you want to know what I did, you can ask Wendy.

She knows better than anyone." He tossed the question to Wendy, eager to see if she would share the reason for his imprisonment with Glinda and Stanley. Wendy understood his game and chose silence. Trying to smooth things over, Glinda intervened. "Anyone who could raise a daughter like Wendy can't be all bad. People make mistakes, but as long as they change, it's all right." Seeing that Wendy wasn't responding, George let out a sly grin, feeling like he had won. "Well, I won't stay for dinner.

But Mr. Hawk, I'd like to have a word with you alone. Would that be alright?" Wendy opened her mouth to speak, but Stanley squeezed her delicate shoulder lightly and spoke first, "Sure. We'll go to the study." George followed Stanley into the study, taking in the understated, yet elegant design-black, white, and gray tones that oozed sophistication. The high-end finishes, the quiet luxury of the room, and the subtle displays of wealth sent a thrill of envy through George.

One thing George had to admit was true: During the ten years he spent in prison, he couldn't stop thinking about Wendy. She had taken his eye and sent him to prison, and he would never forget that. But now, to his surprise, she had married into a family like this-living a life of luxury. He had no intention of letting her forget about him. 1/2 Chapter 74 George turned to Stanley. "Mr. Hawk, Wendy was sent to the countryside when she was young and didn't have much of an education.

I know she's risen above her station by marrying you." Stanley's piercing gaze settled on George, his lips curving into a slight, barely perceptible smile. "That's not true. She's great." George was momentarily taken aback Stanley's eyes never left George's, the cold depths of them almost unnerving, "Is that all you wanted to say?" George found himself under the weight of Stanley's gaze, feeling as though the man could see straight through him. It made him uneasy.. He nervously laughed.

"Well, Mr. Hawk, I just got out of prison, and things are a little tight for me right now. I was wondering if maybe you could-" Stanley's expression remained impassive, his brow lifting slightly. "You need money?" George felt small under Stanley's cool demeanor, but he pushed forward with his request, his greed overcoming his discomfort. "Yes, Mr. Hawk. After all, I'm Wendy's foster father.

It wouldn't be too much to ask for a little help from you, right?" Stanley leaned back in the black leather office chair, his tone calm but firm. "Sure. How much do you need?" Search the FindNovel.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
