“ You’re pregnant and haven’t eaten anything yet . Please , go have the chicken soup , ” he said gently .
Wendy was about to refuse , but Stanley took her hand in his Without giving her a chance to protest , he led her
away .
The maid watched Wendy leave , letting out a huge sigh of relief . She turned around , only to see Lilian standing
there .
“ Mrs. Crone , I’ve done what you asked . Ms. Wendy and Mr. Hawk have gone downstairs .”
Lilian nodded . “ Good work . But remember , don’t let anyone find out about today’s events , or you know what will happen . ”
The maid immediately grew anxious . “ I understand . ”
Lilian relaxed a little and quickly entered the room .
On the counter , Lilian spotted a syringe filled with blood . It was the blood Wendy had drawn from Horace
This was perfect !
Lilian immediately took out a syringe of her own blood from her pocket . Without hesitation , she swapped her blood with Horace’s .
With everything in place , she felt a wave of relief . Jessica’s identity would remain safe .
A smile tugged at Lilian’s lips as she prepared to leave .
However , her steps faltered when she saw someone in the doorway – Harry .
Harry had walked in .
Lilian hadn’t expected him to be there , and her face instantly changed . “ H – Honey , what are you doing here ? ”
Harry fixed her with a cold gaze . “ That’s what I should be asking you . This is where Wendy’s making the antidote . What are you doing in here ? ”
Lilian had thought she had accounted for everyone after she sent everyone else away . She hadn’t predicted Harry’s
presence .
Caught red – handed , Lilian panicked . “ I – I was just here to supervise Wendy . I’m worried she might harm Jessica ! ” Harry’s eyes narrowed as he stared at her . “ Really ? I’ve noticed something was off with you for a while now . I’ve been following you and saw everything you did just now . ”

Harry’s voice was icy . “ Why would you swap Mr. Larson’s blood ? He’s Jessica’s biological father . Only a close family member’s blood can save her . By switching it out , does that mean … you’re Jessica’s immediate family ? Are you Jessica’s biological mother ? ”
Lilian’s fear was palpable , her voice shaky . “ No , honey , please let me explain … ”
Harry gripped the syringe tightly . “ Explain what ? Are you hiding something from me ? ”
Suddenly , it all clicked for Harry .
“ I’ve been wondering for a while . Wendy is supposed to be your biological daughter , but you’ve been so cold and distant with her cruel , in fact . You treat Jessica as if she were your own , and everyone says you’re the perfect lovestruck fool . But now I know – it’s not what it seemed . Lilian , is Jessica your real daughter ? Did you swap Wendy and Jessica
Over the years , Harry had noticed Lilian’s coldness toward Wendy . He had suspected something wasn’t right , though he hadn’t pressed the issue .
But now , seeing Lilian switch the blood , all the past doubts and questions suddenly made sense .
Harry stared at Lilian in disbelief .
“ Did you really pull a switcheroo ? Jessica is your real daughter , isn’t she ? That means Wendy is Mr. Larson’s daughter , the true heiress ! ”
