Chapter 558
Samuel was furious. “Watch it!”
At that moment, Wendy grabbed Samuel’s arm and gently shook her head. “It’s fine. I’ll just drop by for a bit.”
Samuel lowered his voice, warning her, “Jessica is definitely doing this on purpose. If you go, it’ll be like walking right into a trap.”
Wendy glanced at the butler. “I trust Mr. Larson’s character. He will make sure I can leave safely.”
Samuel still disagreed. “But-”
“I just want to see what kind of poison has afflicted Jessica Wendy cut him short.
Looking into Wendy’s calm, determined eyes, Samuel had no choice but to relent. “Just be careful.”
Wendy nodded. “I will.”
The butler spoke up. “Ms. Wendy, this way, please.”
Wendy followed the butler as she left.
Halsey and Cecelia tried to move forward, but they were blocked by the black–clad bodyguards. Both women looked at Wendy with concern. “Wendy!”
Wendy gave them a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”
Wendy climbed into the luxury car and disappeared from their view.
Cecelia was anxious. “What is Jessica up to now?”
Halsey frowned. “She’s been more insufferable since she reunited with her dad. She thinks she can do whatever she wants because of his wealth. I don’t get it. How does someone like her get so lucky? How could someone like her be the daughter of the world’s richest man?”
Cecelia and Halsey were both frustrated and confused.
Just then, a Rolls–Royce Phantom sped toward them. Stanley had arrived.
He quickly got out of the car and rushed over. “Where’s Wendy? Has she left?”
Halsey looked at Stanley. “You’re too late.”
“What?”
Stanley looked inside, realizing that Wendy was already gone. He had missed her once again.
“Wendy…”
“She hasn’t left. She was taken to the Crone family’s estate by Mr. Larson.”
Stanley froze. He turned to Halsey, frustrated. “Can’t you just tell me everything at once?”
He had thought Wendy had already left.
“The Hawk and Larson families have a marriage engagement, so Mr. Larson and Jessica are both targeting Wendy. She might be in danger at the Crone family’s estate,” Cecelia explained.
Stanley clenched his fists. “I’ll go look for her now.”

Wendy was brought to the Crone family’s estate, where Lilian stood up, her emotions boiling over. “What did you do to Jessica? What kind of poison did you give her?”
Wendy met Lilian’s gaze calmly. “How do you know I poisoned her?”
“Who else could it be? After Jessica talked to you at the store, she came back feeling unwell, and the doctor said she was poisoned!”
Edith pointed an accusing finger at Wendy. “How could you do this? You tried to kill Jessica by poisoning her? You’re heartless!
Wendy’s lips curved into a faint smile. Her gaze passed over Edith and Lilian’s faces
“So, you know poisoning someone is heartless?” she said coolly. “I thought you weren’t aware. When you two teamed up to poison my father all those years ago, wasn’t that evil? What right do you have to stand here and criticize others?”
Edith’s face turned pale with anger. “Wendy, who do you think you’re talking to?!”
Lilian’s eyes glinted coldly. “You’ve gone too far this time!”
Without warning, she raised her hand and flung it toward Wendy’s face.
