The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56

Stanley had just crushed a wine glass in his hand.

For the past few days, he had been completely captivated by Wendy’s beauty, to the point where he no longer recognized himself.

He figured he would let her do whatever she wanted with Nathan. She was nothing but a

temptress.

At the Crone family villa, Jessica was sitting on the living room sofa, throwing a tantrum.” Dad, Mom, Stanley doesn’t care about me anymore!”

Harry looked surprised. “Jessica, how could Stanley not care about you? Has he gotten a divorce? When is he going to marry you?”

Jessica stomped her feet in frustration. “Stanley hasn’t even divorced Wendy yet! It’s all Wendy’s fault. She doesn’t want to divorce him!”

Harry, with a displeased expression, glanced at Lilian. “What’s going on here? Isn’t Wendy your daughter? Why didn’t you tell her to know her place? Why does she always get in Jessica’s way?”

Lilian immediately said in a gentle tone, “Don’t worry, darling. I’ll figure out a way to get them divorced as soon as possible.”

“What are you going to do?” Harry asked, clearly skeptical.

“Mom’s 80th birthday is coming up. I have a perfect plan for the celebration. I’ll make sure it all plays out there,” Lilian said with a sly smile, clearly confident in her idea.

Harry patted Jessica’s shoulder reassuringly. “Jessica, just hold on for a few more days.”

Jessica stood up. “I’m going upstairs.”

As Jessica went up, Harry also got up, intending to leave.

Lilian stopped him. “Honey, it’s so late. You don’t need to go out tonight.”

Ever since Lilian’s failed attempt to drug Wendy, Harry had been distant with Lilian, spending several nights away from home. Lilian had been left alone in their empty bed.

Lilian cuddled up to Harry, her fingers with bright red nails caressing his well–toned chest seductively. “I’ve missed you, honey.”

Harry pushed her away. “I’ll come back home when Stanley finally divorces Wendy. You know

what to do.”

With that, Harry stormed out.

Lilian’s expression darkened. She knew that over the past few days, Harry had been tangled up with his secretary.

She wasn’t about to share her husband with any other woman.

Now, she just had to wait for the 80th birthday party. She had her plans to make sure Stanley and Wendy got divorced.

Soon, the 80th birthday party for Edith was in full swing, with the Crone family inviting all the high–society families of Hovendale. Their estate was adorned with lights and festive decorations, creating a lively atmosphere.

Wendy had also arrived. She saw Edith sitting in a chair, while the second branch of the Crone family–Harry, Lilian, and Jessica–along with the third branch–Archer, Natalie Dittman, and Trish–were standing beside her, paying their respects.

Edith beamed with joy as she held Trish’s hand. “I heard that Trish is now Dr. Ceylan’s

assistant. Is that true?”
