The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 545

Chapter 545

The sound of a sharp crack echoed through the air.

Wendy clenched her fist so tightly that her fingernail broke digging into her palm.

Her clear, almond–shaped eyes turned bloodshot, a mixture of shock, rage, sorrow, and a sudden ache swirling in her chest. It was as if her heart had been ripped apart, the pain overwhelming her.

She had suspected for a long time that Jerry had been killed by these people, but hearing the truth hit her like a crushing weight. It was too much to bear.

The Crone family, the people Jerry had grown up with, were the ones who had killed him.

They were his wife, his two brothers, his sister–in–law, and Edith. Though Jerry had been adopted, he had always considered Edith is real mother.

And then, when Edith arrived, her father stopped struggling.

It was Edith who had personally poured the poison into his mouth.

How much pain and despair must he have felt in his final moments?

He had called out for Wendy, over and over…

Tears suddenly shimmered in Wendy’s reddened eyes. She couldn’t imagine what Jerry had been thinking in his last moments. She had never gotten to see him before he passed.

Wendy’s slender fingers trembled, and large, heavy tears fell from her eyes, splashing onto the floor.

Lilian watched Wendy’s suffering with a sense of satisfaction, a twisted delight. This was the child of that woman, the one Harry had devoted his life to protecting. Seeing Wendy in pain, feeling her helplessness–it gave Lilian a sense of accomplishment, a deep satisfaction.

Lilian smiled cruelly. “Wendy, I’m not afraid to tell you all this now. Because even if I do, what can you do about it, huh?”

Wendy took a step back, only to be caught by Halsey, who held her steady.

Halsey’s voice was filled with concern. “Are you okay?”

Wendy shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Halsey glared at Lilian, fury burning in her eyes. “You animal! You’re all monsters! Karma will get you!”

Lilian scoffed. “Karma? We’ve lived just fine all these years! In fact, the Crone family is thriving. But you, Wendy, you were abandoned in the countryside, and Jessica impersonated you, pretending to have saved Stanley. Now, she’s the daughter of the richest man. What’s this nonsense about ‘karma‘? It’s all just a lie to fool people!”

Halsey fell silent, unable to find the words. She had never met anyone as cruel and malicious as Lilian.

Wendy shut her eyes briefly, wiping away the tears in them. When she opened them again, her gaze was cold, and she looked at Lilian with a mocking smile.

“You will get what’s coming to you… It’s just not the right time yet. All of you who killed my father not one of you will get away with this.”

Jessica stepped forward, her voice dripping with arrogance. “Enough! Stop wasting your breath. With my dad around, do you really think you can do anything to us?”

Before Wendy could respond, a deep voice rang out. “Jessica what’s going on here?”

Wendy turned around, and her eyes landed on Horace

A group of bodyguards in black suits parted the way as Horace, dressed in a black overcoat, walked toward them His butler followed closely behind. The sight of the richest man in the world caused a stir, and even the shoppers in the mall couldn’t help but turn their heads.

Jessica rushed up to him with a beaming smile, immediately linking her arm through his “Dad Why are you here?
