Archer chuckled . “ Wendy must be jealous of Trish . That’s why she’s saying all this – she’s trying to ruin dinner . ”
Natalie snickered . “ She’s just a country bumpkin . How dare she call Dr. Ceylan a fraud ! It’s laughable . ”
Trish squeezed Dr. Ceylan’s hand and apologized , “ Dr. Ceylan , please don’t take anything Wendy says to heart . She’s just jealous , and it corroded her mind . ”
Dr. Ceylan glanced in the direction where Wendy had disappeared , feeling a slight sense of relief . Though he didn’t know what Wendy might have figured out , the way she made him feel uneasy and nervous was undeniable .
Luckily , the Crone family had driven Wendy away .
Looking around at the Crone family , the fake Dr. Ceylan was confident he had fooled them . He smiled warmly and said , “ It’s alright . I won’t hold it against her . ”
Edith smiled . “ Let’s not let Wendy spoil the mood . Come on , let’s eat . ”
Trish beamed with pride . “ Grandma , I have something to announce . I’ve joined Dr. Ceylan’s medical team and now own a share in it . ”
Edith and the second branch of the family were taken aback . “ What ? You now own shares in Dr. Ceylan’s team ? ”
Dr. Ceylan nodded . “ Yes , Trish invested 150 million . ”
A hundred and fifty million ?
Jessica’s eyes widened . “ Trish , where did you get that kind of money ? ”
Archer and Natalie grinned . “ We mortgaged the company . ”
The third branch had pledged their entire company in exchange for 150 million dollars to give to Dr. Ceylan .
Dr. Ceylan smiled confidently . “ With me involved , there’s no risk in mortgaging the company . I guarantee that 150 million will double this year and add up to 300 or even 500 million . By then , Trish’s worth will double as well . ”
Dr. Ceylan was a known figure , so no one doubted his value .
Now, Jessica , Harry , and Lilian couldn’t sit still . They , too , wanted to get on board with Dr. Ceylan and watch their assets grow .
Jessica spoke up . “ Dr. Ceylan , we’d like to invest 150 million as well . ”
Harry and Lilian nodded eagerly . “ We can mortgage our company too . ”
The second branch was also ready to pledge everything they had .
However , Dr. Ceylan didn’t immediately respond . Rather , he seemed hesitant . “ Um … ”
Trish , holding his hand , urged , “ Dr. Ceylan , we’ll all be family soon . Let them invest too . ”
Dr. Ceylan finally agreed , nodding . “ Alright , then . We’ll count you in too . ”
Jessica , Harry , and Lilian were thrilled . “ That’s wonderful ! Thank you , Dr. Ceylan ! ”
“ Hold on ! ” Edith suddenly spoke up .
Everyone turned to look at her . “ What’s wrong ? ”
Edith’s eyes sparkled . “ If all of you are investing , I want to invest too . ”

“ Mom , you don’t have money . ”
“ Who says I don’t have money ? I can mortgage the Crone family’s estate . It’s in a good location , and it’s worth a lot . Dr. Ceylan , I want to invest too . ”
Dr. Ceylan thought for a moment before agreeing . “ Alright Let’s all make money together . After all , Trish and 1 are getting married soon , and we’re all basically family now . ”
Dr. Ceylan kissed Trish’s hand softly .
Trish felt like she was on cloud nine .
Now , everyone in the Crone family was overjoyed . They had all put their fortunes on the line , dreaming of becoming rich overnight .
Edith raised her glass . “ Now that Wendy’s gone , our family’s luck is finally turning around . Let’s drink to our future ! ”
Jessica , with Harry and Lilian , raised their glasses . “ Cheers ! ”
Trish , with Archer and Natalie , also raised her glass . “ Cheers ! ”
