Chapter 395
Wendy was reininding them of the purpose of their visit they were here to beg for help.
Edith, Jessica, and Trish froze, their earlier arrogance gone. The proud posture they had shown just moments ago
vanished.
Wendy made a move to close the door again.
But Edith quickly spoke up. “Don’t close the door, please! We’re here to ask for your help. Please, will you help us?
Edith was the first to lower her head.
Wendy raised an eyebrow, glancing at the others.
Archer and Natalie from the third branch followed suit, lowering their heads.
“We were wrong before. For the sake of family, please help us,” they said.
Harry also bowed. “Let’s not make things worse between us. Please, we’re asking for your help ”
Wendy’s gaze moved to Lilian.
Lilian didn’t want to lower her head. She couldn’t believe how things had spiraled out of control. This wasn’t supposed to happen!
She couldn’t understand how Wendy, the girl they had cast aside, had become a genius. How did Wendy end up with a luxury car and a mansion, while they had been swindled into sleeping on the streets, now forced to beg Wendy for help?
What had happened in the meantime?
Lilian didn’t want to speak up, but Edith glared at her, the warning clear in her eyes.
Though reluctant, Lilian bowed her head. “Wendy, I’m sorry. You’re still a Crone no matter what. Please, help us.”
Wendy turned her gaze to Jessica and Trish.
Trish lowered her head. “Wendy, please.”
Jessica clenched her teeth, nearly grinding them to dust, but finally said, “Please help us.”
Wendy’s sharp, clear eyes rested on Jessica’s face. “Jessica, what did you say? I didn’t quite hear you. Could you say it louder?”
Wendy was making her repeat herself.
Jessica’s frustration boiled over. “Hey!”
But Edith quickly pulled on Jessica’s arm, stopping her.
Jessica looked up and saw Wendy standing there, poised and elegant, her amused eyes glinting as she watched Jessica struggle.”
Jessica felt like she might explode. She had no choice but to raise her voice again. “Wendy, please help us.”
Wendy’s lips curled into a faint smile. It was deeply ironic to her. The once haughty Crone family, the ones who would have loved nothing more than to trample her underfoot, were now all bowing their heads one by begging for her help.

Just then, Wendy looked up and saw a tall, handsome figure Stanley.
She hadn’t realized when he’d returned, but now, standing opposite her, he silently observed the scene with calm
eyes.
Their gazes met.
Jessica, noticing Stanley at the same time, hurried over. “Stanley.”
“Mr. Hawk.”
Stanley took a few long strides toward them, his tall frame moving effortlessly.
Jessica grabbed his arm, leaning into him with a pout. “Stanley, now you see Wendy for who she really is! She’s forcing us to bow down to her. We’re family after all. She’s so selfish, cold–hearted, and petty.”
Wendy couldn’t help but smile. Now they were calling her family? She certainly didn’t feel like part of their family. Wendy wasn’t concerned with Stanley’s opinion. She smiled and met his gaze with confidence. “Mr. Hawk.” Stanley’s eyes lingered on Wendy’s face. “Now that they’ve all asked you for help, are you going to deal with the fake Dr. Ceylan for them?”
“Yes, Wendy, we’ve asked. You can help us now, right?” Edith said.
Wendy’s smile widened. “I can help, but I have one condition.
