Wendy was saying Stanley had met Dr. Ceylan
Stanley hadn’t known this. A deep, probing look crossed hiface as he studied Wendy. He couldn’t shule the feeling that Wendy was hiding something from him.
Right now, Wendy’s eyes sparkled, glowing with an almont restible brightness. Stanley couldn’t help but feel a strange stir in his chest as he gazed at her.
Just then, Edith and Lilian emerged from the room, and Edith called out, “Hendry”
Wendy turned to look at Edith. “Did you need something?
Edith’s gaze was serious. “Did you take your father’s ashes back and get everything settled?”
At the mention of her father, Wendy let out a cold laugh. “Are you really pretending to care about my dad’s ashes?”
“How can you talk like that? Jerry was my first son. I’m his mother!” Edith retorted, a hint of anger creeping into her voice.
Wendy scoffed, her voice laced with bitterness. “My dad’s gone. Who are you trying to fool with that? He wasn’t even your biological son. You adopted him.”
Edith and Lilian froze, their expressions faltering in shock. They hadn’t expected Wendy to know the truth Lilian’s voice quivered with disbelief. “How did you find out about that?”
Wendy took a few steps closer, stepping into their personal space with unwavering confidence.
“Back in the day, you were desperate to secure your position in the family. You couldn’t get pregnant, so you adopted my father. The moment he entered the Crone family, you miraculously got pregnant. You had Harry, who’s really your first son, and Archer, your youngest. Those two are your darlings.
“You’ve always been biased. My dad knew he wasn’t your real son, so he endured everything. He truly considered you his mother. He built his career from nothing, supported his two younger brothers, and did everything he could to be a good son to you. He gave you all everything you now have. He repaid the debt of your adoption long ago!”
Her words hit hard, and Edith and Lilian stumbled back, stunned.
They hadn’t expected Wendy to know about the past, and now, they were wondering how on earth she had discovered all this.
Wendy’s gaze turned to Lilian. “My dad truly loved you. He married you, treated you well, adored you as a wife, and never once let you down. But look at what you’ve done to him!”
Lilian’s face twisted in shock and anger as if Wendy had just stepped on her last nerve. “What are you talking about?”
“What am I talking about? You know exactly what you did to my dad! How do you sleep at night, knowing you’re enjoying the wealth he left behind? Don’t you ever wonder, in the dead of night, if my dad might come back and haunt you all?”
“What nonsense are you speaking?!”
Her face ghostly pale, Lilian raised her hand to slap Wendy across the face, fury written all over her face.
However, Wendy was too quick. She caught Lilian’s wrist before it could land.

Lilian gasped, her voice shaking with outrage. “I’m your mother! How dare you lay a hand on me!” Wendy’s eyes gleamed with icy clarity. “Mother? You don’t deserve that title.”
With a swift motion, Wendy shoved Lillan, sending her stumbling backward. Lilian crashed into the wall with a loud thud, leaving her completely off balance and looking uterly disheveled.
Edith and Lilian were left staring at Wendy in shock and rage.
Edith’s voice was trembling with fury. “You’ve gone too far! You think just because you’re with Mr. Samuel now, you can get away with anything? Men are unreliable. Once Mr. Samuel gets tired of you, you’ll just be another worthless housewife!”
