    They had all hoped to see Wendy make a fool of herself, batin the end, the had humiliated thempletely. It was outrageous!


    Stanley watched Wendy''s slender figure as she walked away, his gaze derp and unreadable. No one could tell what he was thinking, He pressed his lips together, then said softly, "Alright, that''s enough."


    Jessica quieted down, her anger toward Wendy still dimmering beneath the


    surface. She tried to suppress it, focusing instead on her goal.


    "Stanley, you said tonight you''d introduce me to Bebe. Where is she?"


    Jessica hadn''t forgotten the reason she was here. She was determined to marry


    Stanley as soon as possible.


    Having just seen Halsey, Stanley murmured, "I''ll go find her."


    Without missing a beat, Jessica quickly handed him the limited-edition handbag, "Stanley, give this to her. She''ll love it!"


    Noticing that Wendy had been gone for a while, Halsey started to feel uneasy. She stood up to go look for her.


    Just then, Stanley called out, "Bebe."


    Halsey ignored him and turned to walk away.


    But Stanley blocked her path. "You''re really getting more and more rude. You won''t even acknowledge me anymore?"


    Halsey was Cyril''s daughter, though she took her mother''sst name. That was why Jessica and Sienna hadn''t realized she was Bebe.


    Cyril had Halseyter in life, and because she had a birthmark on her face, both the Lincoln family and Stanley had always spoiled her.


    Halsey red at Stanley. "Stanley, how could you treat Wendy like that? Do you have any idea how sick she was after your divorce? She had a 107-degree fever thatsted seven days, and she cried even while unconscious-"


    Stanley''s eyes narrowed, and he cut her off sharply. "Enough! Don''t talk about her anymore!"


    Halsey stopped speaking


    Stanley''s face remained emotionless, his voice low and cold. "We''re divorced


    now. I don''t want to hear anything about her."


    Halsey stared at Stanley in shock. She hadn''t expected him to be so heartless.


    Stanley handed her the limited-edition handbag.


    Halsey looked at it, confused. "What''s this?"


    "It''s from Jessica."


    What?


    Halsey threw the bag back at him. "Keep it away from me! I don''t want anything from that homewrecker!"


    Stanley frowned at her. "Bebe, stop being difficult. Jessica really wants to be your friend. She''s a proud person, but

    she''s been trying so hard to please you. You should try to get along with her." Try to get along with Jessica?


    "Her trying to please me is her problem, not mine. I never asked her to. I''m not going to be friends with someone like her."


    Stanley''s lips tightened. "Jessica and I are nning to get married. She''ll be your new cousin-inw."


    Halsey''s eyes widened. "You''re going to marry Jessica right after divorcing Wendy?"


    Jessica was his girl, and marriage had always been part of the n. It was just that after the car ident that left him in aa, Wendy hade into his life. But Wendy was just a brief chapter.


    Now that the chapter was over, it was time to marry Jessica.


    Stanley nodded. "Yes, I''m going to marry Jessica."


    Halsey was speechless, but eventually, she gave in. "Fine. Give me the bag." Stanley did as he was told.


    Halsey continued, "If you''re so set on marrying Jessica, that means she''ll be my cousin-inw soon. I''ll try being her friend."
