Harry opened his mouth , as if trying to speak .
Yet , all that came out were mumbled words that no one could make sense of .
“ Why can’t Harry speak yet ? ” Edith turned to Wendy , her voice trembling with worry .
Lilian , who had been on edge , felt her nerves relax just a lile . She had been so afraid that Harry might suddenly speak and expose everything , but it seemed that he couldn’t talk yet .
Without wasting a moment she rushed forward and grabbed Harry’s hand . “ Honey , what’s wrong ? Do you have something to say to me ? I’m here . You can tell me . ”
Wendy looked down at Harry , her gaze serious . “ I’ve already used needle therapy to wake him up , but he can’t speak yet . He’ll need some time to recover . ”
Edith could only offer words of comfort . “ Harry , don’t get too worked up . You’ll get better slowly , I’m sure .”
Harry continued to stare at Lilian , his eyes bloodshot with anger , but no words came from his lips .
Just then , the maid hurried into the room . “ Mrs. Edith , good news !
Edith looked up . “ What is it ? ”
The maid sounded excited . “ Ms. Jessica is awake ! ”
What ? Jessica was awake ?
Lilian’s face lit up with joy . “ Really ? She woke up ? That’s wonderful ! ”
Edith , too , felt a wave of relief . After all , Jessica was the daughter of the world’s richest man . Her health was crucial for the
Crone family’s wealth and status . “ Quick , get the car ready ! I need to go see Jessica right away ! ”
Wendy furrowed her brows . She hadn’t yet made the antidote , and now Jessica had woken up on her own .
It was quite intriguing
In the bedroom , Jessica had already regained consciousness . She sat up in bed , looking a bit pale but otherwise alert .
Horace , ever concerned , was by her side . “ Are you feeling okay ? ”
Jessica’s face was pale , but her spirits were high . Now that she was the daughter of the richest man , she was in a position of power . She curled up to Horace and pouted . “ Dad , I’m still a little dizzy , ”
“ Should I call a doctor ? ”
“ No. As long as you’re here with me , that’s enough . ”
At that moment , Wendy , Edith , and Lilian returned .
Lilian , eager and relieved , exclaimed , “ Jessica , you’re awake ? How did you get poisoned ? You scared me to death ! ”
“ It’s great that you’re awake , ” Edith added , her voice filled with relief . “ You’re Mr. Larson’s precious daughter . If something happened to you , how would we explain it to him ? ”
Jessica flashed a proud smile , her lips curling upward with a mixture of arrogance and satisfaction .
Wendy watched her , noticing that Jessica seemed to have recovered from the poison .
“ Dad , someone poisoned me ! ” Jessica declared .

Edith and Lilian were both startled . “ Who would dare to harm the daughter of the richest man ? How bold ! ”
Horace quickly soothed her . “ Who poisoned you ? ”
Jessica pointed directly at Wendy . “ It was Wendy ! ”
Wendy didn’t show any surprise . She had expected Jessica to accuse her .
Everyone’s eyes turned toward Wendy .
Lilian was the first to leap to her feet . “ So you did poison Jessica ! Mr. Larson , I told you before that she was the one behind it . You didn’t believe me . NowJessica is awake and has identified Wendy as the culprit . Surely you believe me now , right? ”
Horace furrowed his brows , but remained silent .
Wendy stepped forward , her gaze unwavering as she looked at Jessica . “ Do you have any evidence I did what you said ? ”
“ I talked to you that day , and shortly after , I got poisoned . It had to be you ! ” Jessica replied confidently .
Wendy raised an eyebrow .
“ So , let me get this straight , ” she said , her tone calm yet sharp . “ You have no evidence , just a guess ? You need evidence in a court of law . If you keep accusing me without proof , I might just have to sue you for defamation . ”
