Chapter 389
Wendy and Halsey got into the car and drove off, leaving Stanley and Cyril standing outside. Stanley eyed Cyril suspiciously. “Uncle Cyril, what’s going on with you?”
Only when Wendy and Halsey’s car had completely disappeared from sight did Cyril pull his gaze away. He looked at Stanley, “What do you mean? I’m perfectly fine. I feel great.”
Stanley raised an eyebrow. “You might want to take a look the way you were bowing and scraping to Wendy just now.”
Stanley had never seen Cyril act like this before.
Cyril bristled, “Bow and scrape? I was just showing respect. You wouldn’t understand.”
Showing respect?
Stanley was confused. Why would he show respect to Wendy?
He felt like Cyril must’ve been confused.
“I wanted to talk to Wendy, and you interrupted me. I wanted to ask her if she’s been seeing Samuel.”
At the mention of Samuel, Cyril nodded. “I think she is.”
Stanley was curious. “Why do you think so?”
Cyril gave Stanley a look from head to toe before replying with a serious tone. “Because you’re not good enough for her. She deserves someone better.”
With that, Cyril turned and walked inside.
Stanley stood there, dumbfounded.
What in the world was happening?
Stanley had no idea when Cyril had started thinking he wasn’t good enough for Wendy.
Wendy stayed at Royale Residences that night. The next morning, she was woken up by the sound of her phone ringing it was Samuel calling.
Wendy picked up with a lazy voice. “Hey, Samuel ”
“Wendy, I’ve got some breaking news for you. The fake Dr. Ceylan ran away.”
Wendy stretched out in bed, not at all surprised. She had known that the fake Dr. Ceylan would eventually run off.
“He took everything from the Crone family and disappeared without a trace. This morning, the court and the bank. showed up to seize the Crone family estate, as well as the second and third branches‘ businesses. The Crone family is in complete chaos–they’ve been wiped out.‘
Wendy scoffed. She had no sympathy for them. In fact, she had warned them beforehand, only to be met with mockery.
“They were destroyed by their own greed and ignorance. Everyone has to pay the price.
Samuel chuckled. “Let’s sit back and enjoy the show. I can’t wait to see how the Crone family deals wit this.”

At the Crone family estate, everyone had gathered. Edith, along with members from the second and third branches of the family Harry, Lilian, Jessica, Archer, Natalie, and Trish were all present in the living room.
The court and bank officials had already begun posting notices, Edith, red–faced and furious, stormed over to
them, shouting, “What are you doing? This is my house! Get out of here right now, or I’ll sue you for trespassingle
The court official looked at her with a blank expression. “Feel free to take it to court.”
Edith stood there, stunned.
The bank officials held out all the necessary documents. “You all signed over everything, including this family estate. Now, we are legally seizing your property. You need to leave, or we’ll have to force you out.”
Edith grabbed Trish’s arm. “Trish, what’s going on? Where Dr. Ceylan? Where did he take our money?
Trish’s face was ashen, the arrogant attitude she once had completely gone.
“Grandma… 1–I’ve been scammed. That man wasn’t Dr. Ceylan. His real name is Abe McKinney, and he’s a fraud. He took our money and ran.”
What?
Jessica and Lilian looked as if they had just been hit with a ton of bricks. They grabbed Trish.
“You’ve been scammed? Do you realize how much money we invested? Now our companies have been mortgaged too! You’ve ruined us! We’re going to lose everything!”
