Chapter 620
Jessica was incredibly selfish.

Over the years, Harry had devoted himself entirely to her, treating her like his own flesh and blood, cherishing and indulging her. Yet, she felt nothing for him. Any obstacle in her path, any stone that stood in her way, she wanted to kick it aside with all her might.
“Harry was initially a vegetable, completely unresponsive. But Edith had Wendy perform needle therapy on him, and now he’s awake. We need to find a way to stop your secret from being exposed!” Lilian said.
Jessica’s eyes harrowed, turning cold and calculating. “We should make Wendy disappear.”
Lilian blinked in surprise.
“Wendy is the source of all this trouble. Once she’s gone, everything she has will be mine!” Jessica declared.
Right now, all she wanted was for Wendy to be dead.
Lilian modded, her eyes filled with malice. “She should have died a long time ago. We left her in the countryside as a child, but she somehow survived. Well, now it’s time for her to disappear for good!”
Jessica looked at Lilian, her voice sharp. “I’m leaving this to you. You take care of Wendy.”
Lilian froze. “You want me to do it myself?”
“Who else can we trust? With Horace and Stanley around, it’s too risky. If anything slips out, it’ll all be exposed. It has to be you. Mom, you’re my real mother. You love me, and you’d do anything for me, wouldn’t you?”
Before, Jessica had refused to call Lilian “Mom” and had been disgusted by the latter. Now she was gripping Lilian’s hand tightly, her eyes pleading.
Lilian softened. After all, Jessica was her true daughter. “Okay, I’ll take care of it.”
Jessica’s face lit up, and she threw her arms around Lilian in a tight embrace. “Thanks, Mom! I knew you loved me. You’re the best!”
Lilian wrapped her arms around Jessica in return. “Silly girl, I’ll do anything for you.”
Jessica’s smile faded, replaced by a cold, calculating expression.
Wendy, Harry, and Lilian had to die.
At that moment, Jessica had already started thinking about how to eliminate Lilian.
Lilian knew her secret. As long as Lilian couldn’t talk anymore, her identity would stay hidden.
Wendy entered Harry’s hospital room once again. He was sitting in a wheelchair, his limbs useless, unable to speak–a shell of the man he once was. A caregiver was attending to him.
Wendy looked at the caregiver. “You can go now. I’ll take over.”
“Alright,” the caregiver said and left.
Wendy turned back to Harry. “I’m going to perform needle therapy on you.”
She pulled out a needle from her bag.
At that moment, Harry weakly reached out and grabbed Wendy’s sleeve.
Wendy turned, startled. “What’s wrong?”

Harry opened his mouth, struggling to speak.
“Do you want to say something?” she asked softly.
Harry nodded vigorously.
Wendy leaned closer. “What do you want to tell me?”
He nodded again, even more intensely.
“Is it about Jessica?” she asked, watching his reaction.
Harry’s eyes lit up with urgency, and he nodded even harder.
Wendy had been feeling suspicious of Jessica and Lilian. It seemed as though Harry knew everything.
She opened her palm, offering a way for him to communicate. “You can’t speak right now, but you can write. Don’t rush. Just write what you need to say on my hand.”
Harry reached out, his fingers trembling, clumsy and stiff. But he focused, carefully writing each word on Wendy’s palm.
“Jessica…is…a…liar…” Wendy read aloud, her voice barely above a whisper.
Her face froze in shock.
Why would Harry say Jessica was a liar?
