She quickly glanced at Lilian

Without hesitation, Lilian stepped forward. “It wasn’t Jessica! It was me! I was the one who contacted that man with the scar and set up this entire kidnapping!‘

Wendy stared at Lilian. Since Lilian had jumped in to take the blame, it was clear that she and Jessica were desperate.

In an attempt to protect Jessica, Lilian had taken all the blaze upon herself..

Wendy let out a bitter laugh. Was this what they called a mother’s love?

Why?

Wendy was Lilian’s biological daughter, but Lilian had always treated Jessica as if the latter were her own flesh and blood. Wendy wondered what she had done wrong

Being betrayed by her own mother like this stung, no matter how many times it happened.

Everyone stared at Lilian in shock.

“It was you?”

Halsey, furious, snarled, “Mrs. Crone, Wendy is your real daughter! You hired thugs to kidnap her and tried to have her killed! Are you out of your mind?”

Lilian hadn’t expected the truth to come out. She couldn’t let Jessica’s involvement be revealed. If Jessica were exposed, her reputation would be ruined, and there would be no way she could explain things to Stanley.

So, Lilian had taken the entire fall.

Lilian looked at Wendy. “I’m sorry, Wendy. I’m your mother, after all. I hope you can let this go.”

Wendy sneered, “My mother? I remember you and Edith cutting me off a long time ago. If I continued being your daughter, being a part of the Crone family, I’d probably end up in a ditch somewhere!”

“Wendy considered you family, but you all wanted her dead. What kind of people are you?” Halsey added.

The crowd erupted into murmurs of disbelief.

“What was Lilian thinking? How could a mother do this? She hired thugs to kidnap her own daughter while pampering someone else’s daughter like a queen!”

“She must be completely blinded by love… It’s terrifying‘

Lilian was so furious that she felt sick, but with so many people around, she couldn’t let her emotions show. In the end, both she and Jessica had lost everything in this game.

Wendy turned to Jessica. “You think the flash drive you’re holding contains evidence?”

Jessica froze, her eyes narrowing as she stared at the flash drive she had snatched. “What are you getting at?” Samuel chuckled. “Jessica, Mrs. Crone, you’ve both been fooled. That flash drive is empty. There’s nothing on it.”

Samuel looked at Stanley. “Mr. Hawk took the kidnapper. I’m sure he has already investigated him, but found nothing. However, when I mentioned the flash drive, Mr. Hawk, you didn’t expose me. We should thank you for playing along with this little act.”

Jessica was stunned, her gaze locked on Stanley in disbelief. “Is what he said true? You knew the flash drive was empty?”
