Jessica nodded, her voice soft but full of desperation. “Okay Dad. You have to help me.”

“Don’t worry, Jessica. Go get some rest now. I’ll take care of everything. Whatever happens, I’ll protert you,” Harry said.
“Okay.”
With that, Jessica headed to her room.
Harry and Lilian also returned to their room. Lilian took a quick shower and lay down in bed. After Harry finished his shower, he climbed into bed beside her.
Lilian turned to him, her tone serious. “Harry, you have to help Jessica‘
Harry sighed. “How exactly do you expect me to help her?”
Lilian’s voice became more urgent. “Of course, you need to get in touch with that powerful man from the Capital. Once you reach him, everything will be solved. Wendy may be remarkable, but compared to him, she’s nothing- like an ant that can be crushed with a single hand.”
Harry hesitated, his thoughts tangled. “But Jessica’s birth mother didn’t want her past revealed. She doesn’t want Jessica going back to the Capital.”
Lilian grew more frantic. “But she’s in serious trouble now! If we don’t use the power from the Capital, there’s no way out. Besides, what’s so bad about going back to the Capital? She could be one of the most powerful people there. Jessica is a precious gem, after all!”
Harry needed more time to think. He hadn’t forgotten what Jessica’s biological mother had said before she passed away, but now the Crone family was in too deep. Wendy had forced them into a corner, and there seemed to be no way out.
Wendy was pushing too hard, too fast..
Harry looked at Lilian with frustration. “Look at what you’ve done! How did Wendy get so powerful? It feels like she could send the Crone family straight to hell with just a snap of her fingers!”
Lilian shifted uncomfortably, a flicker of guilt in her eyes. Yet, she stayed silent, not daring to speak up and risk revealing anything.
“Do you really hate Wendy that much?” she asked.
“Of course, I hate her! Anyone who’s our enemy–especially if they’re targeting Jessica–I hate them!”
Lilian smiled, her lips curling into a sly grin. This was the reaction she had been hoping for.
If Harry knew the truth–that Wendy was the one he was supposed to protect for life–Lilian couldn’t even Imagine how he would react.
Lilian was truly in love with Harry. She had obsessed over him for years, and in her eyes, there was no room for anyone else. Singe Harry seemed to care so much about that woman, Lilian was ready to do something drastic to make him regret it.
She was determined to control Harry and every single person in the Crone family.
Lilian leaned in closer, curling up against Harry. “Okay, settle down. I hate Wendy, too.”
Lilian tilted her head up and kissed Harry on the lips, her voice a whisper, “Honey, we haven’t been close in a

while. Don’t you miss it?”
Her hand slid beneath Harry’s shirt, teasingly, her touch suggestive.
Harry quickly pulled her hand away, his face hardening. “There’s been too much going on lately. I’m not in the mood. Let’s just sleep.”
He lay back on the bed, tuming his back to Lilian as he closed his eyes.
Lilian lay there, feeling the sting of rejection, her fists clenched in frustration.
He wasn’t in the mood? He was probably too busy with all the other women to care about her anymore.
Lilian knew Harry had been gathering information about tlist woman. The secretary he kept close had eyes that looked like hers, and that was why she had become a favorite of his.
Lilian hated that woman. She hated her with a burning passion–just like she hated Wendy.
She wanted them all gone.
Especially Wendy.
She wanted Wendy dead!
Stanley returned to Royale Residences, but instead of going into his apartment, he stood tall and still outside ⚫ Wendy’s door.
Since learning that Wendy was Dr. Ceylan, he had been stunned. He still hadn’t had a real conversation with her since finding out.
Stanley raised his hand and pressed the doorbell to Wendy’s apartment.
