Chapter 391
Stanley’s voice was calm but firm .
“ Of course , you need to find someone who knows Dr. Ceylan , Isn’t Professor Lincoln Trish’s mentor ? You could ask her to reach out to him , or
Jessica interrupted , her voice trembling with urgency . “ Or who ? ”
“ Samuel mentioned he was familiar with Dr. Ceylan . He even said she was a woman . You could ask him to help you get to the bottom of this , ” Stanley replied , before hanging up .
Trish , now with a clearer direction , spoke up .
“ Let’s go find Professor Lincoln , ” she said immediately .
Earlier , they had been completely disoriented , unable to think straight . Now that Stanley had pointed them in the right direction , they could either go to Cyril or Samuel for help .
“ Alright . ” Jessica agreed , nodding .
The Crone family arrived at the Lincoln family’s residence . Isabel , who knew Jessica , wasn’t exactly welcoming
“ Sorry , Mr. Lincoln’s not home , so I can’t let you in , ” she said firmly .
Jessica’s face turned pale . Normally , she would have just walked away , but now , with a favor to ask , she had not choice but to swallow her pride . “ We really need to speak with him . Could you please let him know we’re here ? ”
Isabel snorted dismissively . “ Everyone says that . Am I supposed to let everyone in just because they claim they have something important to talk to Mr. Lincoln about ? Who do you think you
are ? ”
Isabel still held a grudge from the last time Jessica and Sienna had humiliated Halsey , so she wasn’t about to show Jessica any kindness now .
Trish stepped forward , her voice full of urgency . “ I’m Professor Lincoln’s prized disciple . I need to speak with him . ”
Isabel shot her a glance and muttered , “ Birds of a feather . ”
Trish was taken aback , left speechless .
The Crone family stood there , frantic and pacing , like ants in a frying pan , not knowing what to do .
Just then , a luxury car pulled up . Cyril had returned home .
Edith’s eyes lit up . “ Look , Professor Lincoln’s back ! ”
Trish quickly rushed forward . “ Professor Lincoln ! ”
Cyril saw her and raised an eyebrow . “ Trish , what brings you here ? And why is everyone with you ? ”
Trish , nearly out of breath , rushed to explain . “ Professor Lincoln , you have to help us ! Our family is in serious trouble ! ”
Cyril raised an eyebrow . “ What happened ? ”
Trish hurriedly explained , “ We were scammed by a fake Dr. Ceylan ! He tricked me into falling for him , then took our money and vanished . We invested everything with him , and now he’s disappeared with our funds . ”

Cyril burst out laughing , unable to hold it in .
Edith and the others stared at him , shocked
Cyril , still chuckling , said , “ Sorry , I couldn’t help myself . So , Trish , you got scammed by Dr. Ceylan ? I’m surprised you thought you could land such a genius . And why do you keep referring to Dr. Ceylan as a man ? Dr. Ceylan is a woman ! ”
Dr. Ceylan was a woman ?
When Samuel had first mentioned this , they hadn’t believed him ; now , hearing Cyril confirm it , they started to realize it was true .
Edith’s face drained of color , and she stomped her foot in frustration .
“ What an absolute waste ! I had fantasies about Dr. Ceylan becoming my grandson – in – law . I even dreamed that Trish and Jessica would have a joint wedding , and they would marry Mr. Hawk and Dr. Ceylan in a grand wedding ! I thought our family was finally rising to the top ! ”
One blow after another shattered Edith’s dreams .
Cyril gave Edith a knowing look and smirked . “ Your family’s luckier than you think . ”
Lilian blinked , confused . “ What do you mean ? ”
Cyril didn’t explain further but added with a hint of dark humor , “ But you all did a great job of throwing out your best assets . ”
Edith was completely bewildered . What was he talking about ?
Archer and Harry were both desperate .
“ Professor Lincoln , our family estate and company have been seized by the bank ! We’re going to be on the streets tonight ! Can you help us ? We’d be forever grateful . ”
