Dr. Ceylan was a woman?
Both Edith and Trish froze, their faces turning pale. “Mr. Samuel, what are you talking about? Dr. Ceylan can’t be a woman. I’m dating him! He’s a man!”
Samuel raised an eyebrow. “I not only know Dr. Ceylan, but we’re also very close. I’m telling you: She’s a woman.”
Trish was so stunned by this news that she stood frozen in place. “That’s impossible! You
must be lying to me!”
Edith, too, couldn’t believe it. “Mr. Samuel, I understand that you’re dating Wendy now, but there’s no need to joke about something like this.”
Neither of them seemed convinced, so Samuel shrugged. “Dr. Ceylan is a woman. Forget it if you don’t believe me. Wendy, let’s go.”
“Alright.”
Samuel turned and left with Wendy.
Edith and Trish remained standing there, stunned.
Edith nervously grabbed Trish’s arm. “Why would Mr. Samuel say Dr. Ceylan is a woman? What’s going on?”
Just then, Jessica emerged from the fitting room, having changed into her clothes. She and
Lilian walked over to them, their faces serious.
“Trish, are you sure the person you’re dating is really Dr. Ceylan?”
“This is important, Trish!” Edith said. “We’ve invested everything. I even mortgaged the family estate. If we’ve been tricked, the Crone family is finished!”
Trish, equally nervous, had always believed she was in a relationship with Dr. Ceylan. When

Wendy first warned that Dr. Ceylan was a fraud, no one believed her. Now, with Samuel saying it, Trish was starting to doubt.
But she forced herself to stay calm. “Why would you believe what Mr. Samuel says? He’s Wendy’s boyfriend. Of course, he’s just trying to mess with us. Don’t listen to him!”
Jessica turned to Stanley. “Stanley, what do you think?”
Stanley glanced in the direction where Wendy and Samuel had disappeared, his voice low and magnetic.
“I don’t know Dr. Ceylan. We’ve missed each other a few times, but this Samuel guy is a big player in Florias. Since he operates in both the legal and illegal worlds, he’s well- connected. If he says he knows Dr. Ceylan and that Dr. Ceylan is a woman, it might not be completely baseless.”
Trish’s anxiety deepened, while Jessica’s face turned pale.
They just received news that their fortunes had multiplied tenfold, but now, they found out they might have been duped.
No one could accept that!
Just then, Stanley’s phone rang.
He looked at Jessica. “You all can keep shopping. I need to head back to the office.”
With that, Stanley left.
“Stanley!”
Edith grabbed Jessica’s arm. “What do we do now? You have to ask Mr. Hawk for help!”
Jessica sighed. “Stanley warned that we shouldn’t invest in Dr. Ceylan.”
What?
Edith’s face shifted.

At that moment, Trish spoke up. “We can’t panic just yet. Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll call Dr. Ceylan tonight and ask for the money.”
“Alright, we’ll wait for your call.”
That evening, Trish returned home. Archer and Natalie quickly gathered around her.
“Trish, didn’t you go out with Dr. Ceylan today? When are you two getting married? Your
grandma wants you and Jessica to have a joint wedding that’ll shock Hovendale. Your dad and I have already been boasting about it to the bosses around here, and now everyone’s
envious,” Natalie gushed.
Archer leaned back on the couch.
“The second branch has been throwing their weight around, all proud of their soon–to–be son–in–law, Mr. Hawk. But now, Dr. Ceylan is going to be our son–in–law. We’ve finally gotten the upper hand! Trish, you need to hold on to Dr. Ceylan. He’s a wonder doctor.
That’s a huge win for
us.”
