The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 478

Chapter 478

Suddenly, Stanley changed the subject.

“Have you gotten in touch with Samuel?”

At the mention of Samuel, Wendy’s heart skipped a beat.

Stanley stood there in a custom–made black suit, exuding an air of distinguished elegance. His gaze was unyielding, cold and indifferent. He was looking down at Wendy, his eyes devoid of any warmth–only the sharpness and authority of someone who held power.

He had already chosen Jessica, and now, to him, Wendy was nothing more than a stranger.

In his eyes, there was no trace of affection–only the steely resolve of a person who had made up his mind.

Stanley parted his lips slightly. “You failed to get through to Samuel, huh? No, more precisely, when you were talking to him, his call suddenly cut off, didn’t it?”

Wendy immediately began to piece things together, her shock evident as she looked at Stanley. “Did you do something to him?”

Stanley’s expression remained impassive. “You can try calling him again. See if you can get through.”

Without wasting a second, Wendy pulled out her phone and dialed Samuel’s number once more.

But all she heard was the busy tone–no one answered.

He never cut off contact like this. It should’ve occurred to her earlier–given Samuel’s position and standing, no one would dare harm him. Except Stanley.

Stanley’s expression remained calm, his tone cold and businesslike. “I only have one request–treat Jessica’s heart condition. Once she’s better, Samuel will be fine too.”

Jessica added with a cruel smile, “In other words, if anything happens to me, Mr. Samuel will be buried alongside me. And Wendy, you should remember it’ll be your fault. He is innocent, after all.”

Edith laughed mockingly. “We’ve already tried to make peace with you, but you’re as stubborn as ever. Did you think we had no one behind us? Mr. Hawk is our greatest ally!”

“Wendy, you’d better start treating Jessica’s illness now. Her life is precious. If something happens to her, everyone around you will have to pay the price,” Lilian chimed in.

Wendy looked at the Crone family members, their ugly faces showing their true nature. They were only so bold because they had Stanley backing them.

But she was most hurt by Stanley’s actions.

Her hands were icy, and her heart felt frozen as she turned her gaze toward him.

“You must already know who killed my father. It was these people–my father’s so–called mother, his brothers,
