The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 454

Chapter 454

Jessica looked at Stanley with a hurt expression, her eyes filled with unished tears, silently hoping he would

comfort her.

Yet, Stanley’s face remained impassive. Without any warmth, he asked, “How did Wendy’s father really die? Which one of you in the Crone family is the murderer?”

Edith and Lilian both fell silent, their expressions grim.

Stanley didn’t say anything more.

Zayn pulled up in a sleek Rolls–Royce. Stanley got into the car and drove away.

At the Crone family’s estate, the house was steeped in an eerie, suffocating silence that hung over everything as Edith sat on the couch. She had just smashed everything on the coffee table.

Rare, antique vases that she had treasured for years had crashed to the ground, shattering into countless pieces. These were some of Edith’s most cherished possessions, things that everyone else had to handle with the utmost

сате.

The floor was a disaster–broken glass and ceramics were scattered across the room. The maids stood quietly in the corners, too afraid to make a sound.

The second and third branches of the Crone family had arrived, all of them gathered, without exception.

Edith, still furious after breaking everything, muttered bitterly, “What a bunch of trash. Not one of you is better than Wendy.

“She grew up in the countryside, yet she’s a genius from Harfield, and she’s Dr. Ceylan. If she were my granddaughter, I would have been the queen of Hovendale by now!

“Now Wendy’s riding over us, and we can’t fight back at all. It’s all because you people are useless!”

Harry and Archer had rushed back from the company. They couldn’t believe what they had just learned–that Wendy was the famous Dr. Ceylan.

Archer, uncertain, asked, “Wendy is Dr. Ceylan?”

Harry, still in disbelief, muttered, “Looks like she is.”

As they thought back to how they had groveled before that fake Dr. Ceylan, they imagined how Wendy must have thought they were complete fools.

Edith scowled. “What should we do now? Wendy has her sights set on us. She wants to unmask the one who killed her father and make them turn themselves in.”

Trish, anxious, asked, “Grandma, who really killed Uncle Jerry?”

Jessica and Trish both had no idea what had happened.

Edith let out a cold huff. She had no affection for Jerry–after all, he had only been adopted into the family. Harry and Archer, on the other hand, were her flesh and blood.

Edith sighed, her voice growing dark. “The poison that killed Jerry that night was brought to him by Lilian herself. Jerry noticed something was wrong, and when he tried to resist, Harry and Archer both held him down. Lilian pried his mouth open, and then I poured it in. We all worked together to poison him.”
