Chapter 392
Trish pleaded , her voice desperate , “ Professor Lincoln , please , help us think of something ! We’re out of options . ” Cyril shook his head . “ Well , you’ve come to the wrong person . It’s someone else you have to ask for help . “ Who ? ” Trish asked , her tone filled with anticipation
Cyril simply answered , “ Wendy . ”
“ What ? ” The Crone family members were stunned . “ Why Wendy ? What can she possibly do to help us ? ”
“ Is she going to help us catch that fake Dr. Ceylan ? Is she going to save the Crone family , bring us back from the brink ? “ .
Jessica and Trish’s faces were filled with disdain . They couldn’t believe that Wendy would have the ability to solve their problem .
“ Shetan , ” Cyril replied .
“ What ?! ” The Crone family was in disbelief .
Cyril gave them a cryptic look . “ I’ve pointed you in the right direction . What you do with it is up to you . ”
With that , Cyril turned and walked inside .
Edith , still in shock , asked , “ Why would Professor Lincoln tell us to go to Wendy ? ”
Lilian shook her head. “ Wendy’s just a housewife ! I can’t believe she could do anything to help us . ”
“ We don’t believe it either , ” another muttered .
“ Professor Lincoln’s advice doesn’t make sense . Now , it looks like our only choice is to go to Samuel for help . ” Since Cyril couldn’t assist them , the Crone family had no other option but to ask Samuel for help .
The Crone family found themselves at Samuel’s doorstep . But the maid blocked their way , saying , “ Sorry , you can’t come in . ”
It felt like the Crone family was running into nothing but dead ends , constantly being rejected .
Jessica said carefully , “ Hi . We really need to speak with Mr. Samuel . ”
“ Wait here . I’ll let him know you’re here , ” the maid replied before closing the door with a sharp click
The Crone family waited outside , shifting restlessly . Ten minutes passed , then thirty . The maid had gone inside and hadn’t come back out .
The evening had fallen , and the Crone family had not eaten all day . Exhausted , Jessica felt a chill creeping in . She hugged herself for warmth .
“ It’s so cold , ” she thurmured .
Then , light rain began to fall , the first signs of a storm approaching .
Edith slapped her thigh in frustration . “ It’s going to rain ! It’s like the heavens are turning against us ! ”
Trish , equally cold , wrapped her arms around herself . They huddled together under the eaves , trying to stay dry .

Chapter 392
Edith grumbled , “ Trish , this is all your fault ! You were scammed by that fake Dr. Ceylan ! You didn’t just lose your own money — you dragged the entire family down with you !
Trish could hardly find the words to defend herself .
Archer and Natalie immediately stepped in to protect Trish “ It’s not entirely her fault . Jessica didn’t help , either . ”
They turned their attention to the second branch .
Edith’s eyes narrowed as she focused on Jessica , “ Jessica , you’ve got no backbone . Mr. Hawk and Wendy have been divorced for ages , and you still haven’t managed to take her place as Mrs. Hawk Now , Mr. Hawk won’t even lift a finger to help us . That just goes to show , you mean nothing to him ! ”
Jessica’s face turned pale , her expression filled with a sense of unfairness .
Harry and Lilian , frustrated , pointed at Trish and her parents . “ What are you doing ? How could you blame everything on Jessica ? ”
The second and third branches began to argue among themselves , tempers flaring . It looked like a fight was about to break out .
Edith , fed up , snapped , “ Enough ! All you do is argue , and it’s getting us nowhere . What happened to the Crone family’s two golden girls ? You’re utterly useless ! ”
