The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 168

He had left.

But Wendy wasn't thinking about his departure. What bothered her more was what he had done—how could he just toss that ruby necklace into the trash like it was nothing?

That ruby was worth over a million!

Even though he was rich, he shouldn't just throw away something so expensive!

Without wasting a second, Wendy rushed to the trash can, reaching in to grab the precious bag. Fortunately, it wasn't dirty or damaged—how tragic it would have been if it had been ruined!

Back in the dorm, Wendy sat at her vanity and opened the ornate box. The ruby and diamond necklace inside shimmered brilliantly under the light, stunning her with its breathtaking beauty.

Stanley had always had impeccable taste. After all, he was born into a family of privilege, a high-born heir with a refined sense of style. Anything he chose would undoubtedly be exceptional.

Though Wendy was wealthy herself, she rarely indulged in things like this. This was also the first time Stanley had given her a gift.

She picked up the ruby necklace and fastened it around her neck.

Her skin was fair and smooth, with a neck as graceful as a swan's, and below it, delicate collarbones. The ruby shimmered against her skin, making her look both ethereal and glamorous.

Wendy snapped a quick photo of herself with her phone, sending it to her best friend, Cecelia.

Cecelia responded with an excited squeal. [Ahh, it's so beautiful! I love it, I love it!]

Wendy texted her back on WhatsApp. [It's from Mr. Hawk.]

Cecelia's playful tone disappeared. [That jerk? Wendy, you must've pleasured him well, huh? He just gave you a ruby necklace as a reward.]

Wendy's fair cheeks flushed with a hint of pink. Deep down, she already knew—it was indeed a reward.

He knew how to spoil his woman, how to be tender.

Wendy asked, [Should I throw it back in the trash?]

Cecelia replied, [You sure you want to part with it?]

Wendy wrote back, [Not really.]

This ruby necklace was way too expensive!

[Then keep it.]

[Keep it?]

[The question is, do you like it?]

Wendy glanced at herself in the mirror. The ruby necklace really did suit her. [I do.]
