Chapter 548 Chapter 548 Horace looked into Jessica's determined eyes and sighed, finally relenting.
"Alright. If this is what you want, then I'll support it too. Don't worry-Stanley will marry you." "Really? But I don't think he wants to marryright now, Horace gave her a reassuring look. "Our families' agreement isn't something Stanley can decide on his own. The Hawk family will never allow him to marry anyone else. The position of Mrs. Hawk is yours." Jessica's eyes lit up with excitement. "That's awesome! Thanks, Dad!" Lilian, sensing an opportunity, added, "Mr. Larson, it's clear that Mr. Hawk is really fond of Wendy. Just to be safe, I think we should do something about that." Horace paused for moment, thinking. "I'll call Stanley's mother, Angela. If she finds out about Wendy..." He didn't finish his sentence, but both Jessica and Lilian understood.
If Angela learned about Wendy and realized that she was standing in the way of the marriage between the Hawk and Larson families, Angela would make sure Wendy disappeared from this world.

Jessica eagerly urged, "Dad, please go ahead and call Mrs. Angela now." Horace took out his phone. "Alright, I'll call her right now." Stanley gently placed Wendy into his Rolls-Royce Phantom, with Halsey following closely behind.
Wendy looked at Stanley, concern in her eyes. "Mr. Hawk, you shouldn't let things get complicated with Mr. Larson because of me." Stanley looked at her, his voice firm. "I will never marry Jessica." Wendy didn't reply.
Just then, the phone rang, its melody filling the car. Stanley looked at the screen. It was a call from Angela.
He glanced at the caller ID, then chose not to answer.
Wendy saw the caller ID and asked, "Is that your mother calling?" Stanley nodded. "Yes." "Then why aren't you answering it?" Stanley met her gaze.
Wendy's eyes were clear, holding a soft understanding. "It's okay. You should go ahead and take the call." She knew exactly what was going on.
Stanley got out of the car and answered the phone.
