The associate took the card , her eyes widening as she noticed the embossed gold letters on the back – Larson .
The associates ‘ eyes lit up . “ Wow , this is Mr. Larson’s card ! She really is the daughter of the richest man ! ”
“ I can’t believe the daughter of the world’s richest man is here shopping with us ! I’m definitely taking a picture for my social media . This is something I’ll be proud of for the rest of my life . ”
Jessica basked in their flattery , relishing every word . She had always been fond of vanity , and now , she was enjoying the attention and compliments .
Suddenly , Trish spoke up . “ Wendy , what are you doing here ? ”
Jessica turned around and saw Wendy standing by the door .
Wendy had come with Halsey , and her clear , piercing eyes were fixed on Jessica’s face .
Seeing Wendy only made Jessica feel more triumphant . She grinned .
“ Fancy meeting you here ! My dad gave me a card last night , and now I’m out shopping . Since we’ve known each other for so long and now I’m the daughter of the richest man , let me know if there’s anything you like here . I’ll buy it for you . ”
Trish chuckled . “ Oh , Jessica ! You’re still as generous as ever . ”
Jessica grinned . “ Of course . I think of it as charity . ”

Jessica is the daughter of the world’s richest man . Whether you’re a genius from Harfield or Dr. Ceylan , you still have to work for money . It’s all about luck , you see . That’s just the way life is . “.

Wendy stepped forward , her gaze now fixed firmly on Lilian . “ How did my father really die ? ”
Lilian looked at Wendy with an air of confidence , a cruel smile curling her lips .
“ You want to know ? If you really want the truth , I can tell you . ”
She took a step closer , her voice dropping to a whisper as she leaned in .
“ Jerry was poisoned . At the time , Edith , Harry , Archer , Natalie , and I were all there . We were the ones who killed him . ”
Wendy’s pale fingers curled into fists , trembling with rage as the truth hit her like a physical blow .
“ He struggled so much . We had to put a lot of effort into holding him down . Then Edith arrived , and suddenly , your father stopped struggling . She personally forced the poison into his mouth . ”
Lilian’s voice dropped to a mocking tone .
“ Jerry really loved you . When he died , his eyes never closed . He kept calling , ‘ Wendy , Wendy … ‘ He kept calling for you ! ”
