Seeing that Wendy had arrived , Jessica froze for a moment . Why is she here ? ”
Stanley’s gaze shifted to Wendy , watching her intently .
As Wendy approached them , Samuel wrapped his arm around her waist . “ There you are . ”
Edith , Jessica , Trish , and Lilian quickly gathered around , all eyes on Wendy , who looked as radiant as ever .
Edith spoke up first . “ Wendy , what are you doing here ? Are you here to see Dr. Ceylan too ? The doctor is truly a wonder whom everyone seems to adore . Even someone like you , a mere housewife , knows the doctor’s name ! ”
Wendy raised an eyebrow . “ That’s right . I’m here to see Dr. Ceylan . ”
Trish scoffed . “ Wendy , even if you do meet Dr. Ceylan , the doctor won’t waste any time talking to someone like you . ”
Wendy turned her gaze toward Trish . “ And you think Dr. Ceylan will talk to you ? ”
“ Of course ! ” Trish replied proudly . “ I’m studying medicine after all . ”
“ Wendy , today is a huge day – the real Dr. Ceylan is here in Hovendale , ” Lilian interjected . “ This isn’t the time for your little tricks to attract men . Don’t embarrass the Crone family . ”
Wendy simply smiled but didn’t respond .
Samuel looked at the Crone family members and couldn’t help but smile faintly . Soon enough , they would realize just how foolish they were .
Stanley’s cold eyes narrowed as he looked at Wendy . “ You’re here to see Dr. Ceylan ? ”
Wendy nodded . “ Yes . ”
At that moment , Samuel spoke up . “ It’s almost time . Dr. Ceylan should be making her entrance soon . ”
Wendy smiled . “ I’ll excuse myself for now . ”
She turned and left .
Once Wendy was gone , Jessica clung to Stanley’s arm with a sneer . “ Stanley , I can tell Wendy is up to something .
She must know Dr. Ceylan can help me , and she’s probably trying to stop it from happening . ”
Edith nodded in agreement . “ Yes , we need to make sure Dr. Ceylan stays away from Wendy . ”
Stanley pressed his lips together , saying nothing .
Samuel smirked . “ Once Dr. Ceylan steps out , it’s going to be quite a show . ”
Wendy made her way up to the second floor , where she touched up her makeup . Soon , she would make her entrance as Dr. Ceylan .
She couldn’t wait to see the looks on Edith , Jessica , Trish , and Lilian’s faces when they realized she wasn’t just a housewife , as they still believed .
At that moment , a waiter walked in . “ Ms. Crone , you may go out now . ”
Wendy stood up . “ Alright . ”

She made her way toward the door , preparing to make her grand entrance .
But then , just as she was about to step outside , she froze in place . She turned to the waiter . “ What did you just call me ? ”
The waiter had addressed her as Ms. Crone , not Dr. Ceylan .
A cold , sharp light flashed in Wendy’s eyes as she stepped toward the waiter . “ Who are you ? Who sent you ? ”
Before she could finish , a sharp pain shot through the back of her neck – someone had attacked her from behind . Her vision went dark , and she collapsed into unconsciousness .
“ Get her out of here now , ” the waiter whispered .
Back in the main hall , Stanley and the others were still standing around , and Jessica was there too . Just then , a soft chime sounded from her phone .
Jessica opened the message , which simply read , [ The job’s done . ]
A smile curled on Jessica’s lips .
“ Stanley , I’m going to the restroom for a moment . ”
Stanley glanced at her . “ Dr. Ceylan will be making an appearance soon . Why are you leaving now ? ”
While Dr. Ceylan was certainly important , Jessica’s plan was more important .
“ I’m just a little nervous with Dr. Ceylan about to come out Jessica explained . “ I’ll be quick . Don’t worry . I’ll be right back ! ”
