Chapter 391
Stanley’s voice was calm but firm.
“Of course, you need to find someone who knows Dr. Ceylan, Isn’t Professor Lincoln Trish’s mentor? You could ask her to reach out to him, or
Jessica interrupted, her voice trembling with urgency. “Or who?”
“Samuel mentioned he was familiar with Dr. Ceylan. He even said she was a woman. You could ask him to help you get to the bottom of this,” Stanley replied, before hanging up.
Trish, now with a clearer direction, spoke up.
“Let’s go find Professor Lincoln,” she said immediately.
Earlier, they had been completely disoriented, unable to think straight. Now that Stanley had pointed them in the right direction, they could either go to Cyril or Samuel for help.
“Alright.” Jessica agreed, nodding.
The Crone family arrived at the Lincoln family’s residence. Isabel, who knew Jessica, wasn’t exactly welcoming
“Sorry, Mr. Lincoln’s not home, so I can’t let you in,” she said firmly.
Jessica’s face turned pale. Normally, she would have just walked away, but now, with a favor to ask, she had not choice but to swallow her pride. “We really need to speak with him. Could you please let him know we’re here?”
Isabel snorted dismissively. “Everyone says that. Am I supposed to let everyone in just because they claim they have something important to talk to Mr. Lincoln about? Who do you think you
are?”
Isabel still held a grudge from the last time Jessica and Sienna had humiliated Halsey, so she wasn’t about to show Jessica any kindness now.
Trish stepped forward, her voice full of urgency. “I’m Professor Lincoln’s prized disciple. I need to speak with him.”
Isabel shot her a glance and muttered, “Birds of a feather.”
Trish was taken aback, left speechless.
The Crone family stood there, frantic and pacing, like ants in a frying pan, not knowing what to do.
Just then, a luxury car pulled up. Cyril had returned home.
Edith’s eyes lit up. “Look, Professor Lincoln’s back!”
Trish quickly rushed forward. “Professor Lincoln!”
Cyril saw her and raised an eyebrow. “Trish, what brings you here? And why is everyone with you?”
Trish, nearly out of breath, rushed to explain. “Professor Lincoln, you have to help us! Our family is in serious trouble!”
Cyril raised an eyebrow. “What happened?”
Trish hurriedly explained, “We were scammed by a fake Dr. Ceylan! He tricked me into falling for him, then took our money and vanished. We invested everything with him, and now he’s disappeared with our funds.”

Cyril burst out laughing, unable to hold it in.
Edith and the others stared at him, shocked
Cyril, still chuckling, said, “Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. So, Trish, you got scammed by Dr. Ceylan? I’m surprised you thought you could land such a genius. And why do you keep referring to Dr. Ceylan as a man? Dr. Ceylan is a woman!”
Dr. Ceylan was a woman?
When Samuel had first mentioned this, they hadn’t believed him; now, hearing Cyril confirm it, they started to realize it was true.
