Jerry’s ashes had always been kept by the Crone family. Wendy had asked for them before, but they refused to give them up.
Mentioning Jerry made the faces of everyone in the room shaft slightly.
“What’s wrong? I’m his biological daughter. Am 1 not allowed to take my dad’s ashes?” Wendy’s voice was steady but sharp. “You’ve never treated him as part of the family, why do you still hold onto his ashes so tightly? Now, it’s a choice: You can either keep his ashes or protect the Crone family’s interests. Choose for yourselves.” Edith’s murky yet shrewd eyes fixed on Wendy’s face. She realized that her granddaughter had truly changed.
“Fine, I’ll give you Jerry’s ashes.” Edith finally agreed.
Lilian immediately grabbed Edith’s sleeve. “Mom!”
Wendy saw their small gestures and subtle expressions, and a cold laugh escaped her. “I’m just taking back my dad’s ashes, and you’re this upset? Could it be that you’re hiding some kind of dark secret?”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Lilian snapped immediately. “Your dad’s ashes have always been placed in the grand hall. I just don’t want you disturbing his peace.
Wendy’s smile was biting and filled with mockery, “You’ve always disturbed my dad’s peace. You trapped him in the Crone family’s estate–was that so he could watch his wife and brother fool around while abandoning his own daughter?”
Lilian froze. “How dare you!”
Wendy’s gaze swept over the Crone family members.
Jerry had bought the mansion that the Crone family was living in, paid for Harry’s college, and even taught Archer all he knew about business.
Yet, what had any of them given back to him?
“All these years, you’ve been living in luxury, stepping on my dad’s grave. I ask you, when you lie awake in the middle of the night, don’t you ever dream of him returning to confront you?
Wendy’s words landed heavily, and the blood drained from the faces of the Crone family members. They became
ashen.
At that moment, they were uneasy, even a little afraid to meet Wendy’s piercing gaze.
Jessica and Trish, being younger and less empathetic, didn’t fully grasp the weight of the situation.
Jessica, growing impatient, cut in. “Wendy, stop with this nonsense! We’ll give you the ashes, but you have to solve the problem with the fake Dr. Ceylan!”
Trish nodded in agreement. “Jessica’s right! Honestly, we don’t believe you can solve the issue. Once you do, we’ll give you the ashes. How about that?”
Jessica and Trish weren’t fools–they wanted to make sure Wendy could hold up her end of the deal
Wendy raised an eyebrow. “Fine, I agree.”

“How long will it take you to catch that guy? We can only re you three days. No more,” Edith demanded. “Yeah, our money is in his hands! The longer we wall, the greater our losses. Three days is all we can afford.”
Stanley, watching Wendy Intently, said, “Three days. Do you really think you can catch this fake Dr. Ceylan in that
time?”
Wendy shook her head.
Jessica couldn’t help but sneer, “You can’t catch him in three days? Are you trying to trick us, then?”
Wendy looked at Jessica, her voice calm. “I shook my head cause I won’t need three days. I’ll find the fake Dr. Ceylan tomorrow and bring him straight to you.‘
“What?”
Edith’s voice rose with excitement. “You can find him by tomorrow? You’re not lying, are you?
