Jessica hung up the phone, and just then, Stanley’s deep, smooth voice echoed from behind her.

“Why are you standing at the door?”

Stanley stepped out of the study, holding a file, with Zayn following close behind him.

Jessica immediately put on a smile. “Oh, nothing. I thought heard something. Don’t let me keep you from work.”

Stanley shot her a suspicious look.

Jessica’s heart skipped a beat. She feared Stanley might pick up on something. After all, with his sharp instincts, it would be easy for him to spot any funny business.

At that moment, Zayn stepped forward with another document. “Mr. Hawk, this contract still has some issues.”

Stanley finally pulled his gaze away from Jessica. “Let’s talk in the study.”

Stanley and Zayn turned to head back into the study to handle the urgent paperwork.

Jessica’s tension finally eased. She smiled slyly, knowing she didn’t have to do anything else for now. All she had to do was wait for the good news.

Tonight, Wendy’s baby would be taken care of, and no one could threaten her anymore.

Wendy was driving toward Cecelia’s apartment when she received a call from Halsey. “Hey, I’ve been trying to call Cecelia, but I can’t reach her.”

Halsey didn’t know yet that something had happened to Cecelia.

“Halsey, listen to me–Cecelia’s in trouble. She’s been taken!” Wendy’s voice was frantic.

“What?” Halsey gasped. “Who took her?”

“Stanley!”

Halsey let out a sharp breath. “Mr. Hawk? What did he take Cecelia for?”

“He’s trying to force me to treat Jessica. Now, he’s completely on her side, and there’s no limit to what he’ll do. He’s crossed every line.”

Halsey was left speechless, the shock evident in her silence.

“Anyway, I’m telling you this so you can be careful. I’m afraid he’s going to come after you next!”

Halsey faltered. “Actually, Mr. Hawk and I-”

“I can’t talk right now. I’m at Cecelia’s place.” Wendy hung up abruptly and jumped out of the car, rushing into the building.

Wendy had stayed at Cecelia’s apartment for a while, so she had a key. She unlocked the door and stepped inside. The apartment was in complete disarray, as if a struggle had taken place. It was eerily silent, and no one was there.

Cecelia? Cecelia!” Wendy called out, her voice echoing in the quiet space.

There was no answer.

Wendy pushed open another door, but the room was empty too.

Just then, her ears picked up a faint sound.

She quickly pushed open the bathroom door and gasped when she saw Cecelia.

Cecelia was being held by a man in black, his hand clamped tightly over her mouth.
